Talk: Tony A. Wood, Optimal Assignment and Temporal Logic Planning for Positioning of Threat-Seduction Decoys
Date and Time: Friday, July 24, 2020 at 1300 AEST Speaker: Tony A. Wood, The University of Melbourne Title: Optimal Assignment and Temporal Logic Planning for Positioning of Threat-Seduction Decoys Abstract: Expensive single-use hardware is commonly required to protect surface assets from ballistic threats. Threat-seduction decoys offer a more cost effective approach for repeated multi-threatContinue reading “Talk: Tony A.

Date and Time: Friday, June 19, 2020 at 1300 AEST Speaker: Masoud Moravej Khorasani, The University of Melbourne Title: Finite Sample System Identification of Errors-In-Variables Systems Abstract: Finite sample systems identification (FSID) methods construct guaranteed confidence regions for the unknown model parameters of dynamical systems from a finite number of data points under mild statistical assumptions on the noiseContinue reading “Talk: Masoud Moravej Khorasani, Finite Sample System Identification of Errors-In-Variables Systems”
Talk: Ricardo Garcia Rosas, Online Personalisation of Human-Prosthetic Interfaces
Date and Time: Friday, July 31, 2020 at 1300 AEST Speaker: Ricardo Garcia Rosas, Online Personalisation of Human-Prosthetic Interfaces Title: Online Personalisation of Human-Prosthetic Interfaces Abstract: Novel motion-based human-prosthetic interfaces use the motion of the residual-limb to determine the motion of the prosthesis. The relationship between the residual-limb and prosthesis is established from the motionContinue reading “Talk: Ricardo Garcia Rosas, Online Personalisation of Human-Prosthetic Interfaces”
Talk: Joel Ferguson, Integral action for port-Hamiltonian systems
Date and Time: Friday, June 26, 2020 at 1300 AEST Speaker: Joel Ferguson, The University of Newcastle Title:Â Integral action for port-Hamiltonian systems Abstract: Passivity-based control (PBC) has proved a valuable tool for controlling many physical nonlinear systems. The closed-loop dynamics obtained through the process of energy shaping and damping injection have a clear physical interpretation, providingContinue reading “Talk: Joel Ferguson, Integral action for port-Hamiltonian systems”
Talk: Timm Strecker, Predictive boundary controllers for hyperbolic systems
Date and Time: Friday, May 29, 2020 at 1300 AEST Speaker: Timm Strecker, University of Melbourne Title: Predictive boundary controllers for hyperbolic systems Abstract: We present a method for constructing boundary controllers for systems governed by nonlinear hyperbolic PDEs. As motivation serve open water channels, where the downstream water-level in each pool is to beContinue reading “Talk: Timm Strecker, Predictive boundary controllers for hyperbolic systems”
Talk: Rajitha Senanayake, Sphericity test based spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks
Date and Time: Friday, July 3, 2020 at 1300 AEST Speaker: Rajitha Senanayake, University of Melbourne Title: Sphericity test based spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks. Abstract: In view of the radio spectrum’s scarcity, it is necessary to find new techniques for its efficient use in wireless communications. Cognitive radio is a promising techniques thatContinue reading “Talk: Rajitha Senanayake, Sphericity test based spectrum sensing in cognitive radio networks”
Talk: Andrei Pavlov, Minimax strategy in approximate model predictive control
Date and Time: Friday, June 5, 2020 at 1300 AEST Speaker: Andrei Pavlov, The University of Melbourne Title: Minimax strategy in approximate model predictive control Abstract: Model predictive control (MPC) provides a tractable way of calculating control actions that optimize some measure of performance while ensuring that the states and inputs satisfy some prescribed set of constraints. While an MPC formulation ofContinue reading “Talk: Andrei Pavlov, Minimax strategy in approximate model predictive control”
