报告摘要:

Low-Altitude Economy (LAE) is developing rapidly in China and other countries around the world. What are the key challenges and technologies for safe and secure autonomous/uncrewed flight in these low-altitude economy application scenarios? In this speech, brief overall view on the challenges and latest developments towards smarter, safer, more reliable and more resilient autonomous/uncrewed/unmanned systems in terms of safe and secure controls of these intelligent systems with integration of remote sensing techniques for low-altitude economy applications such as forest fires detection and fighting will be presented first, then some of new developments and current research works being carried out at our group will be introduced secondly. In particular, new developments on Fault/Attack Detection and Diagnosis (FDD), Fault/Attack-Tolerant Control (FTC), and Fault/Attack-Tolerant Cooperative Control (FTCC) techniques towards autonomous, safe and secure operations of unmanned systems for forest fire and smart cities monitoring and detection tasks in the presence of physical-faults/damages and cyber-attacks will be presented.

报告摘要:

Writing Transactions papers goes far beyond just reporting the findings of a research work. This presentation will analyze the key issues to be carefully considered throughout the whole process, many of which have to be addressed well before the writing itself. Both authors and editors want articles not only to be published but, most importantly, noticed. The presentation will discuss what readers want to find in a scientific paper, which must be taken into account by authors when writing and also by reviewers when judging a paper.

The choice of the right audience is a key factor for the success of a paper. Therefore, authors and reviewers must be well aware of the policies of the corresponding journal, as well as of the profile of its readership. The presentation will also address ethical questions, which are currently a major concern.

报告摘要:

The advancing of distribution control technologies has been providing great opportunities to substantially improve various performances in large-scale highly dynamic and time-sensitive systems. This presentation will address a critical challenge of Microgrid Energy Management in Disaster Relief, where the operating environments can be characterized as rapidly evolving conditions, unpredictable disturbances, and strict timing constraints that demand fast, coordinated, and resilient control strategies. We will describe the Advanced Dynamic Energy Management System technologies and the integration of AI-Enhanced Digital Twin framework for Distributed Energy Resources currently being developed in the Advanced Diagnosis, Automation, and Control (ADAC) Lab at SJTU for Disaster Relief using microgrid technologies. We will also briefly introduce the recently developed Advanced Interdisciplinary Energy Research Center (AI-ERC) at SJTU.
