IFAC Workshop Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Methods for Nonlinear Control

摘要：研讨会的主要目的是促进该领域专家（包括18位受邀演讲者）以及感兴趣的研究人员和实践者对非线性控制的拉格朗日和哈密顿方法的最新理论和实践发展进行深入讨论。新技术带来的工程问题是，成功的控制器设计必须考虑非线性效应，而现有的一般非线性系统理论往往被证明是不够的。例子包括空中、陆地、太空和水下的自动驾驶汽车，用于执行器、传感器和控制设备的智能材料，用于制造和医疗的机器人，微机械，电力网络，电力电子设备，流体控制和流固相互作用，工程结构中的分子控制和振动抑制。预计研讨会将在理论和应用方面产生重大影响，因为研究人员之间的讨论和互动将导致新的发展，合作和融合思想，进一步推动该领域。

New technologies have created engineering problems where successful controller designs must account for nonlinear effects, yet existing theory for general nonlinear systems often proves insufficient. Examples include autonomous vehicles in air, land, space and underwater, smart materials for actuators, sensors and control devices, robotics for manufacturing and medicine, micromachines, electrical networks, power electronic devices, control of fluids and fluid-structure interactions, molecular control and vibration suppression in engineering structures. It is expected that the workshop will have a significant impact in both theory and application as the discussions and interactions among the researchers will lead to new developments, collaborations and merging of ideas that further the field.
