Title: Human-Like Decision Making and Control Technologies for Autonomous Vehicles
Panelist: Jianqiang Wang
Abstract: Autonomous vehicles can bring a “safe, comfortable, energy-saving, and efficient” driving experience, with functions such as environmental perception, intelligent decision-making, and collaborative control. Driven by the technological changes of big data and artificial intelligence, the coupling relationship between autonomous vehicles and traffic participants in complex environments has gradually evolved, and more intelligent decision-making and control technologies are urgently needed to realize the safe and efficient autonomous driving. This report first introduces the development status and technical challenges of autonomous vehicles, and analyzes the core issues of its decision-making and control technologies. Then focus on the research development and typical application of human-like intelligent decision-making and multi-objective collaborative control technologies for autonomous vehicles in dynamic traffic, aiming to improve the safety and reliability of vehicle decision-making and control. Through in-depth discussion of the future development trend of human-like decision and control technology, and hopefully promote the process of vehicle intelligence.

Title: Recent advances on intelligent control for mechatronic systems
Panelist: Shihua Li
Abstract: For mechatronic systems, nonlinearities (frictions, backlash, saturation, etc.), complex internal dynamics, time-varying parameters, noise, external disturbances and complex work tasks make control design a very challenging work. In this talk we will discuss on various advanced modeling, analysis and intelligent control techniques for mechatronic control systems. There are also development requirements for intelligent functions of mechatronic systems, such as parameter self-adjustment and adaptation, sensorless control, vibration suppression, etc. Some new research developments and results on this topic will be introduced. Considering the characteristics of mechatronic control system, several kinds of composite control design schemes based on disturbance estimation and compensation are presented with experimental or application verification results.
Personal Profile：Shihua Li was born in Pingxiang, China, in 1975. He earned his B.Eng., M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in control science and engineering from Southeast University, Nanjing, China in 1995, 1998 and 2001, respectively. Since 2001, he has been with the School of Automation, Southeast University, where he is currently a chair Professor and the Director of the Mechatronic Systems Control Laboratory. He visited UC Berkeley from 2006.9-2007.9, RMIT University 2011.3-2011.6, University of Minnesota at Twin Cities 2012.4-2012.10, University of Hong Kong 2014.6-2014.8 and University of Western Sydney 2017.7-2017.8.He is a fellow of IEEE and IET, the Chairman of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society (IES) Nanjing Chapter.
