Director of HKUST Cheng Kar-Shun Robotics Institute Visits MAgIC Lab.

Professor Fumin Zhang, the director at HKUST Cheng Kar-Shun Robotics Institute, recently dropped by ShanghaiTech University, sparking some serious excitement in the world of robots. During his visit, Professor Zhang had some cool chats with crew at MAgIC Lab, where we geeked out over robots, AI, and all things tech. Having Professor Zhang here is an honor. We can't wait to dive into some epic collabrations. This visit solidifies MAgIC Lab reputation as the place where the robot magic happens, and it's all about making discoveries that'll rock the research world and make life better for everyone.

Successful participation in the International Federation of Automatic Control World Congress (IFAC) 2023.

Attending the IFAC conference and delivering a presentation on stage was an incredibly enriching experience for us. The opportunity to connect with experts from different parts of the world and share the knowledge was truly invaluable. The IFAC conference provided a platform for us to showcase our research and work to a global audience. The feedback and discussions we received from fellow participants allowed us to refine our ideas and explore new perspectives. We are grateful for the opportunity and look forward to applying the insights gained to further contribute to the advancement of our field.

Congratulations to Binglin He for ACC 2023 paper acceptance

The papers entitled 'Decentralized Formation Control With Prescribed Distance Constraints and Shape Uniqueness' was accepted and presented on this year’s ACC conference held in San Diego, CA, USA. Our research focuses on the formation problem in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), where we proposed a novel distributed control protocol that ensures the uniqueness of the formation and limits the distance between neighboring agents within a predetermined range. The proposed control law is decentralized, meaning each agent only utilizes local information related to its neighboring agents to calculate its control input. At the conference, Binglin He gave a presentation and participated in the poster presentation session.

Congratulations to MAgIC Lab for two paper acceptances on CDC2022

The paper entitled 'Unknown Input Observer-based Output Regulation for Uncertain Minimum Phase Linear Systems Affected by a Periodic Disturbance' and 'Parameter-dependent Input Normalization: Direct-Adaptive control with Uncertain Control Direction' was accepted and presented on this year's CDC conference held in Cancun. The first work proposes on a new framework that combines an internal mode-based output regulator and a sliding-mode based observer to solve the disturbance rejection problem for a highly uncertain system. The later one removes the critical assumption on high frequency gain in the classic MRAC while preserves a good transient performance. Both results received attention and discussion from attendee.
