 otics\nAbstract:  Highly agile and extreme behaviors of many biological sy
 stems offer examples for future research directions to target similar mobi
 lity in bio-inspired robots understanding of the complex dynamics and subs
 equent design of a robust and adaptive control framework. Examples of extr
 eme behaviors in biological systems are the fast oscillation-driven maneuv
 ers of bees flapping their wings around 200 Hz and the rapid impulsive str
 iking of mantis shrimp releasing their stored potential energy within mill
 iseconds. The challenges for control of robots with similar extreme behavi
 ors lie in the highly nonlinear dynamics operating over multiple timescale
 s. Specifically\, one has to account for fast dynamics (extreme motions) a
 nd slow dynamics (time-averaged motion or slower drift in the system)\, an
 d the time-varying actuation model in the high-frequency regime (fast-dyna
 mics) vs the low-frequency regime (slow dynamics).\nThis talk will address
  the control-theoretic aspects of dealing with such challenges in bio-insp
 ired robots based on first principles in mathematical system theory. The f
 irst part of this talk will address the recent progress on controlling the
  Harvard Robobee\, an insect scale flapping-wing vehicle that flaps its wi
 ngs around 150Hz. In addition\, the recent findings in the nonlinear model
 ing of the dynamic principles of mantis shrimp strike will be covered\, wh
 ich allows the striking speed to reach 27 m/s within a few milliseconds. T
 he second part of this talk will address the causality of modeling nonline
 ar impulsive systems\, which utilize a singular impulsive contact force in
  nonlinear mechanical system modeling. The third part of this talk will in
 troduce the recent work on safe trajectory optimization and multi-agent sy
 stem control\, envisioning the future of swarms of flapping wing vehicles.
  Lastly\, I will conclude this talk with future research on the control au
 tonomy of extreme behaviors in bio-inspired robotics.\nBio:  Nak-seung Pat
 rick 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 behavior
 s 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 p
 rovides a cyclic learning cycle between biology\, mathematical system theo
 ry\, and robotics. He received a Ph.D. in electrical and computer engineer
 ing in 2018\, an M.S. degree in mathematics in 2013\, and an M.S. degree i
 n 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-ag
 ent systems. He was recognized as an outstanding graduate teaching assista
 nt by the Georgia Tech ECE Department in 2011.\n
