2017年05月22日上午，香港城市大學副校長馮剛教授應邀在将軍路校區伟德 官网1号樓303會議室做題為“事件觸發控制及其在多智能體系統上的應用”的學術報告。會議由伟德 官网院長姜斌教授主持，伟德 官网部分師生參加了報告會。
馮教授的報告主要包括以下三個方面：
1. 事件觸發控制系統的研究挑戰：如何避免Zeno現象；
2. 針對異構多智能體控制系統設計分布式事件觸發控制策略，實現多智能體的輸出趨同控制，并避免Zeno現象；
3. 針對異構多智能體控制系統設計分布式自觸發控制策略，實現多智能體的輸出趨同控制，并避免對測量誤差的實時監測和Zeno現象；
馮剛教授介紹了自己在多智能體一緻性控制中的若幹研究成果。馮教授從多智能體的應用背景說起，提出了一個現實中的應用問題：如何通過節約能源來延長多智能體的工作時間。之後馮剛教授針對異構的線性多智能體系統輸出一緻性問題介紹了他們最近提出的一種分布式事件觸發控制算法。馮教授通過類調節器方程給出了該類問題有解的一個充分必要條件，之後給出了一種自觸發控制器設計方法，這種方法可以有效地避免測量誤差的連續觀測。
馮剛教授的精彩報告讓在場的師生對當前事件驅動方法在多智能體系統中的應用等方面工作的最新進展有了更深入的認識。最後，馮剛教授耐心地回答了師生們的提問，與我院師生就正在開展的研究工作展開了交流，并與與會老師合影。
