学术报告摘要：
Unmanned systems including Unmanned Aerial Vehicles/Systems (UAVs or UASs), Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs), and Unmanned Surface/Underwater Vehicles (USVs/UUVs) etc are gaining more and more attention during the last a few years due to their important contributions and cost-effective applications in several tasks such as surveillance, sense, search, rescue, geographic studies, military and security applications. What are the Opportunities, current Developments, and Future Challenges towards Practical Applications of these Unmanned Systems? In this tutorial, these issues and possible solutions and recent development will be reviewed in terms of topics on challenging autonomous Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC), fault-tolerant GNC for single UAV, and fault-tolerant cooperative GNC (FTC-GNC) for multiple UAVs and even multiple different types of unmanned vehicles including UAVs, UGVs, USVs, and UUVs. The latest development and current research work in this active research and development area with applications to autonomous quadrotor helicopter UAVs and wheeled mobile robots/ground vehicles testbeds developed in collaboration with industry at the Diagnosis, Flight Control and Simulation Lab (DFCSL) and Networked Autonomous Vehicles Lab (NAVL) of Concordia University will also be introduced.
报告人简介：
Dr. Youmin Zhang is currently a Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. Dr. Youmin Zhang received his Ph.D. degree in 1995 from the Department of Automatic Control, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xian, China. His main research interests and experience are in the areas of condition monitoring, fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant (flight) control systems; cooperative guidance, navigation and control of unmanned aerial/ground/surface vehicles; dynamic systems modeling, estimation, identification and control; and advanced signal processing techniques for diagnosis, prognosis and health management of safety-critical systems, renewable energy systems and smart grids, and manufacturing processes. He has published 4 books, over 300 journal and conference papers (including 86 refereed journal papers since 1992). His comprehensive review paper published at Annual Reviews in Control on “Bibliographical Review on Reconfigurable Fault-tolerant Control Systems” has gained significant impact in the field worldwide. The paper has been ranked No. 1 in the “Most Cited Articles” published since 1996 and the highest citation ever in the journal. Several recently published papers in several journals have also been ranked in the top of the journals as the “Mostly Downloaded Papers”. Prof. Zhang has been invited to give international conference plenary talks and research seminars worldwide for more than 40 times since 2005. He serves as a member of the IFAC Technical Committee (TC) on Fault Detection, Supervision and Safety for Technical Processes (SAFEPROCESS), the TC on Chinese SAFEPROCESS, the AIAA Infotech@Aerospace Program Committee (PC) on Unmanned Systems, the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society TC on Aerial Robotics and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (ARUAV), and the ASME/IEEE TC on Mechatronics and Embedded Systems and Applications (MESA). He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Instrumentation, Automation and Systems (JIAS), an Editorial Board Member and/or (Senior, Associate) Editor of 6 other international journals (including 3 newly launched journals on Unmanned Systems). He has served as General Chair, Program Chair, Program Vice-chair and IPC member of many international conferences.
