Speech Title: Obstacle/Collision Avoidance in Distributed Optimal Coordination of Multiple Euler-Lagrangian Systems

Abstract: This talk studies the problem of obstacle/collision avoidance in distributed optimal coordination (DOC) for multiple uncertain Euler-Lagrangian (EL) systems. The main challenge focuses on the co-design of obstacle avoidance mechanism and distributed optimization strategy. To address it, a secure trajectory planning method is firstly proposed based on an online projection mechanism; then a novel safety barrier function in the closed form of path integrals is constructed whch can adaptively adjust the secure trajectory tracking error to avoid the obstacles. Based on the Lyapunov method and boundedness analysis for the barrier function, it is proved that all the EL systems can simultaneously achieve the global convergence and obstacle avoidance. In order to prevent the collisions between agents, the proposed scheme is further extended to the collision-free DOC problem.

Speech Title: Emerging Trends in Gas Sensor Modeling for Improved Sensing Capabilities From electronic nose to Gas sensor modelling 

Abstract: Since 1982, researchers have been captivated by the enigmatic olfaction system and have sought to develop a similar system. While the complexities of the olfactory system remain largely unknown to humans, significant progress has been made with the creation of Electronic Noses (Enoses). These Enoses have found diverse applications ranging from food quality testing to bomb detection, and now even extend to agricultural projects. Notably, Enoses have been employed in identifying individuals infected with the coronavirus (Covid-19). In this discourse, we will delve into the structure of Enoses and the behavior of their sensors, as well as review applications such as odor source localization and agricultural applications. Additionally, two novel models proposed by Dr. Moshayedi for the MOX gas sensor will be elaborated upon.
