报告摘要：
The first part of this talk will introduce briefly introduce the on-going projects systems in the Applied Controls laboratory at UC Merced. These include energy harvesting from highway traffic and application of machine learning to mechanical. We then focus on the discussion of recent studies of multi-objective optimal control design for nonlinear dynamic systems with time delay. The first and most important step in the control design for nonlinear dynamic systems with time delay is to guarantee the stability. The performance of the closed-loop system as a function of various system and control parameters is the next step. When there are multiple parameters and control objectives, such a quantitative design step is highly challenging. Very often, the control performance objectives are conflicting to each other, meaning that the improvement of one objective can cause other objectives to degrade. In this talk, we present the results of quantitative design of controls for nonlinear dynamic systems by using the advanced algorithms of multi-objective optimization. The controls can be of linear PID type or nonlinear feedback such as sliding mode. The advanced algorithms of multi-objective optimization consist of parallel cell mapping methods with sub-division techniques. Interesting examples of linear and nonlinear controls will be presented with both numerical simulations and experimental validations.
