2021年7月14日下午，小型學術研讨會“International Workshop on Intelligent Control of Autonomous Unmanned Systems”在學院1号樓405會議室順利召開。英國拉夫堡大學Wen-Hua Chen教授、Jun Yang高級講師和Jingjing Jiang講師受邀參會，并通過騰訊會議分别做了題為“Dual Control for Exploration and Exploitation”、“A Nonsmooth Nonrecursive Synthesis (NNS) Framework for Nonlinear System Control”和“Shared Control: An Integration of User Control and Automated Entities”的學術報告。研讨會由南京航空航天大學伟德 官网副院長陳謀教授主持，學院三十餘位師生現場參會，另外四十餘位師生在線參加了本次研讨會。

Chen教授首先對自動搜索的應用背景做了簡要介紹，重點指出了自主無人系統在環境保護等背景下自動搜索的研究意義。Chen教授将自動搜索問題考慮為一種新型控制問題，并提出了一種全新的自動探索DCEE（Dual Control for Exploration and Exploitation）框架。DCEE框架能夠在沒有指定目标位置和搜索路徑的未知環境條件下驅動無人系統接近未知源。然後以無人機為例，多組實驗結果展示了DCEE的有效性。最後，Chen教授對自主無人系統自動探索的未來研究方向提出了展望。

Jun Yang老師首先簡要介紹了高階非線性系統的研究難點，從而給出了非光滑非遞歸綜合（Nonsmooth Nonrecursive Synthesis，NNS）框架的研究意義。然後為解決遞歸設計在高階系統中的控制器形式複雜、參數調節困難等問題，将NNS框架分别結合幹擾估計補償、魯棒與自适應控制方法，實現高階非線性系統的抗幹擾控制和魯棒跟蹤控制。随後通過仿真對所提出的方法進行了驗證。最後，Jun Yang老師對彙報内容進行了總結，并對NNS框架未來的研究方向提出了展望。

Jingjing Jiang老師分享了在共享控制方面的最新研究成果。首先，對共享控制的應用背景和工作原理做了簡要介紹。針對受約束的機械系統，設計了共享控制律，使系統在滿足約束的同時保證了誤差的收斂性。随後，以低速車輛運動學模型為例，對操作員和反饋控制器之間的動态控制進行權重分配，同時保證了系統的全局穩定性。仿真實驗表明了所提出的控制方案在機械系統和交通環境中應用的有效性。最後，Jingjing Jiang老師對共享控制的研究前景提出了展望。

報告結束後，Wen-Hua Chen教授、Jun Yang老師和Jingjing Jiang老師分别與參會師生針對報告内容進行了熱烈的讨論，并對師生們提出的問題給予了詳細的解答。
