Την Παρασκευή, 08/12/2017 στο Κτήριο Επιστημών στην Πολυτεχνειούπολη, δόθηκε ομιλία  με τίτλο "Distributed hybrid control of multi-agent systems under high level specifications", από τον Καθηγητή Δήμο Δημαρόγκωνα από το Βασιλικό Ινστιτούτο Τεχνολογίας της Στοκχόλμης (KTH) (Department of Automatic Control,  School of Electrical Engineering). Η ομιλία θα δοθεί στην αγγλική γλώσσα.

Περίληψη της ομιλίας:

Current control applications necessitate in many cases the consideration of systems with multiple interconnected components. These components/agents may need to fulfill high level tasks at a discrete planning layer and also coupled constraints at the continuous control layer. Towards this end, the need for combined decentralized control at the continuous layer and planning at the discrete layer becomes apparent. While there are approaches that handle the problem in a top-down centralized manner, decentralized bottom up approaches have not been pursued to the same extent. We present here some of our recent results for the problem of combined, hybrid control and task planning from high level specifications for multi-agent systems in a bottom up manner. We consider a set up where agents are assigned individual tasks in the form of temporal logic formulas and derive local task planning and control strategies for each agent. The dependencies between the formulas and the dynamic couplings between the agents are taken into account when designing the local control laws. The results are supported by simulations and experiments in different robotic testbeds.
