Robust distributed nash equilibrium seeking subject to communication constraints

TAC 2024

This paper addresses the robust distributed Nash equilibrium seeking problem of N -player games under switching networks and communication delays. The salient feature of this work is that the switching communication networks can be uniformly strongly connected, and the communication delays are allowed to be arbitrarily unknown, time-varying and bounded. We illustrate our proposed approach by its application to practical motion control of mobile robots with some experiments.

Output feedback control of uncertain Euler–Lagrange systems by internal model

Automatica 2023

In this paper, we investigate the trajectory tracking control problem of a class of uncertain Euler–Lagrange systems subject to disturbances. We propose a class of dynamic output feedback control laws which depends on the tracking error of the position and that of the velocity. Specifically, by characterizing the reference trajectory and the disturbances with an exosystem, we design an internal model to learn the desired feedforward input such that the reference trajectory can be tracked in spite of unknown system parameters and disturbances. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is illustrated by its application to trajectory tracking control of a three-link cylindrical robot arm.

2024 Intelligent Unmanned Systems Challenge - Flight Obstacle Avoidance Champion

National First Prize

Design a drone capable of fully autonomously completing five obstacle-avoidance tasks in a designated area: navigating through trees, passing through a tunnel, traversing a maze, flying through fixed hoops, and flying through moving hoops. During the flight, tasks must be completed in strict sequential order, but each team can choose how many tasks to execute based on their capabilities.

2024 Intelligent Unmanned Systems Challenge - Air-Ground Coordination Champion

National First Prize

Using a ground unmanned vehicle and a rotary-wing drone will compete in a maze enclosed by barriers. Teams must remotely control or autonomously drive the unmanned vehicle to complete a rescue mission while avoiding hazardous areas. The drone assists the vehicle by performing overhead reconnaissance, communication, and guidance. Upon completing the mission, the unmanned vehicle and drone must park in their designated parking space and helipad, respectively.
