【讲座内容简介】

In the literature of control science and engineering, we are more concerned with convenrgence of the states of any dynamic systems, and gradually pay attention to academically challenging and practically relevant finite time convergence where finite-time control drives the states converge within a certain time moment, regardless of how each state element converges even though it is an very important and critical issue in many accurate, precise and delicated operations. In this report, we first introduce various fundamental and basic ideas of time-synchronized control, moving the boundary well beyond the well-established notions and outcomes of standard “finite-time stability”. Then, we introduce a control problem with unique finite/fixed-time stability considerations, namely time-synchronized control, where all the system state elements converge to the origin at the same time. We share with you more nice properties for this interesting time-synchronized properties, shortening the travel length, reducing the energy consumption and other applications. Finally, I would like to touch the AI drives in our teaching, learning and research.
