About us
Distributed Artificial Intelligence Lab (DAI-Lab) was established at the beginning of 2020. The lab now consists of four faculties, Prof. Dong Shen, Prof. Hao Jiang, Assoc. Prof. Qijiang Song and Assit. Prof. Xiuqiong Chen (see our members). We focus on distributed artificial intelligence and its application in novel intelligent control approaches.

Research Highlights: Variable Gain Design in Learning Control

We consider nonlinearity and randomness as two primary challenges in addressing practical application problems, among other potential challenges. Nonlinearity implies limited available information on system dynamics, but this can be effectively addressed by ILC due to its inherent data-driven control feature. Randomness is another fundamental characteristic in the practical problems, as reflected by practical disturbances, measurement noise, communication noise, and unknown uncertainties, which are often represented by random variables and necessitate the application of probability theory for proper handling. This poses a significant challenge in stochastic ILC. To tackle this issue, variable gain design emerges as a promising approach.

icon Decreasing Gain: The decreasing gain indicates a variable gain sequence that gradually diminishes to zero as the iteration number increases. The conditions for the decreasing gain have been established to ensure asymptotic convergence in the iteration domain, serving as the fundamental cornerstone and support for subsequent results.

icon Adaptive Gain: The adaptive gain aims to divide the learning process into two stages: an initial stage employing a fixed gain and a later stage transition to a randomly diminishing gain sequence. Here, the switching iteration between these two stages is adaptively determined by the learning process itself; furthermore, the diminishing gain is closely tied to practical learning processes rather than being predefined.

icon Event-triggering Gain: The event-triggering gain aims to construct a successive sequence of learning stages, with reduction in learning gains occurring only when transitioning from one stage to another. This perspective offers a completely new view on the learning process.

icon Optimal Gain: The optimal gain seeks an optimal value of the learning gain based on specific performance indices related to the learning process. One approach involves approximating mean-squared input error to generate optimal gain values, while another employs Kalman filtering principles to generate a recursive sequence of gain matrices.
