[cid:image005.jpg@01D816BD.43DC9830] Faculty Candidate Seminar - Autonomous and Connected Systems [cid:image009.png@01D816BD.43DC9830]Dr. Nak-Seung Patrick Hyun Research Associate (Postdoctoral Fellow) Harvard University Monday, February 7, 2022 Presentation: 10:30 A.M. - 11:30 A.M. Q & A: 11:30 A.M. - 12:00 P.M. Purdue Graduate Student Center 504 Northwestern Ave. ~ Room 105A & B https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/j/97086184212 Autonomous Control of Extreme Behaviors in Bio-Inspired Robotics Abstract: Highly agile and extreme behaviors of many biological systems offer examples for future research directions to target similar mobility in bio-inspired robots understanding of the complex dynamics and subsequent design of a robust and adaptive control framework. Examples of extreme behaviors in biological systems are the fast oscillation-driven maneuvers of bees flapping their wings around 200 Hz and the rapid impulsive striking of mantis shrimp releasing their stored potential energy within milliseconds. The challenges for control of robots with similar extreme behaviors lie in the highly nonlinear dynamics operating over multiple timescales. Specifically, one has to account for fast dynamics (extreme motions) and slow dynamics (time-averaged motion or slower drift in the system), and the time-varying actuation model in the high-frequency regime (fast-dynamics) vs the low-frequency regime (slow dynamics). This talk will address the control-theoretic aspects of dealing with such challenges in bio-inspired robots based on first principles in mathematical system theory. The first part of this talk will address the recent progress on controlling the Harvard Robobee, an insect scale flapping-wing vehicle that flaps its wings around 150Hz. In addition, the recent findings in the nonlinear modeling of the dynamic principles of mantis shrimp strike will be covered, which allows the striking speed to reach 27 m/s within a few milliseconds. The second part of this talk will address the causality of modeling nonlinear impulsive systems, which utilize a singular impulsive contact force in nonlinear mechanical system modeling. The third part of this talk will introduce the recent work on safe trajectory optimization and multi-agent system control, envisioning the future of swarms of flapping wing vehicles. Lastly, I will conclude this talk with future research on the control autonomy of extreme behaviors in bio-inspired robotics. Bio: Nak-seung Patrick Hyun is a research associate at the Harvard Microrobotics Laboratory, hosted by Robert J. Wood. His research focuses on the control-theoretic aspects of bio-inspired robots, emphasizing systems with extreme behaviors such as flapping vehicles and impulsive systems. He is interested in the broad range of nonlinear control, including optimization-based control, geometric control, and contraction-based control. His research program provides a cyclic learning cycle between biology, mathematical system theory, and robotics. He received a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineering in 2018, an M.S. degree in mathematics in 2013, and an M.S. degree in electrical engineering in 2013 from the Georgia Institute of Technology. His previous research at Georgia Tech addresses a new framework of causal modeling of impulsive systems and optimal safe path planning for multi-agent systems. He was recognized as an outstanding graduate teaching assistant by the Georgia Tech ECE Department in 2011.

Purdue Graduate Student Center 504 Northwestern Ave. ~ Room 105A & B https://purdue-edu.zoom.us/meeting/94166580119 Electronic Synthetic Atom Lecture Abstract: The ultimate autonomous system is an atom. This presentation describes what can be thought of as an electronic synthetic atom. Such a capability gives rise to applications that approximate the efficiency and effectiveness of naturally occurring systems. These revelations have been confirmed with actual prototype devices. The focus of the presentation will be to explain the theory, in the context of previously known results, and to highlight the new developments. These new developments are key to the ability to fabricate devices with desirable characteristics. Actual device performance, applications, and research directions will also be discussed. Autonomous Signals and Systems Analysis (sophomore/junior level subject matter) Teaching Abstract: This lecture will present standard material associated with signals and systems analysis from the perspective of an approach to synthesis. Synthesis is the basis for analysis. By describing how to design an autonomous approach to signal processing, the critical analysis capabilities are solidified and made apparent. Other related considerations will also be addressed. Bio: Dr. Viviani is an Associate Professor at Montana Technological University. He specializes in complex autonomous system control and the means for recognizing the associated information related patterns of interest. He has been developing complex autonomous systems for various industries including chemical, power, semiconductor, aerospace and defense. His work in semiconductor ion implantation autonomous control resulted in a system that sustains unmatched performance for producing most of the chips in the world. He has also developed a variety of smart weapons with desirable cognitive abilities. Some of this work included development of advanced drones. He was Vice President and Chief Scientist from 2006-2016 at Insitu, which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of the Boeing Company. At Insitu he was directly involved with the design and implementation of software and hardware systems for autonomous robotic airplanes. Early in his career he earned tenure as the Gulf States Utilities Research Professor at Lamar University. His research was pursued jointly at the university and utility. Much of it involved solving power system control problems, as well as developing some first-generation smart devices. He has various journal level publications. His most recent work is focused on achieving quantum like performance for dynamic information representation. Gary L. Viviani received his BSEE, MSEE and Ph.D. (Electrical and Computer Engineering) degrees from Purdue University in 1977, 1978 and 1980, respectively.
