Recent Advances in Fuzzy Systems and Control Keynote

Abstract:
This talk will present an overview of recent advances in polynomial fuzzy systems control via a sum-of-squares (SOS) design framework which is regarded as a post linear matrix inequality (LMI) design framework. After a brief review of the basis of the well-known LMI approach for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems (T-S fuzzy systems), innovative and significant advances based on SOS design framework will be presented from a viewpoint beyond the LMI designs. To overcome many of the drawbacks of the LMI based designs for T-S fuzzy systems, this talk will entail two innovative treatments with peculiar advantages (convex/nonconvex SOS designs and S-procedure relaxations) within the SOS design framework for polynomial fuzzy systems. Finally, as a real world application of the SOS design framework, this talk will introduce flight control for two types of unmanned aerial vehicles which are considered to be some of the most challenging nonlinear control problems.
