Speech Title: “Cyber security of modern power systems”

Abstract:The power system - man's largest machine - receives increasing attention from questionable parties. Activist hackers, terrorists, digital vandals, state player attacks: they all aim at the digital assets of modern power systems in order to impact the physical half of it. Industrial control systems for power systems are one element in this landscape that is targeted. This talk will introduce you to cyber-physical power systems and explain which threats we have to deal with now and in future. It will also explain some known attacks of recent years and demonstrate you how to hack digital power system protection and that this could lead to cascading outages - more prominently known as blackouts.

Keywords:Smart Grids, Cyber-Security, Resiliency

A. Sargent Medal for eminence in engineering, in 2019.


Speech Title: “Can renewables meet the world’s energy demands?”

Abstract: This talk will take a ‘big picture’ view of the world's energy needs and the resources needed to meet demand. It will identify which resources and sources of energy are in abundance, and which are the weaker links. Gaining this understanding assists engineers in advising longer term energy policy and future directions. We will touch upon the potential role of energy conservation, the rationale of hydrogen as an energy vector, the AC versus DC debate, the evolution towards greater electrification, and the role these might play in shaping our energy future.

Keywords: Renewable energy, sustainability, energy policy

Speech Title: Recent Advances in Motion Control of Parallel Kinematic Manipulators

Abstract: Serial robotic manipulators consist of a set of sequentially connected links, forming an open kinematic chain. These robots are mainly characterized by their large workspace and their high dexterity. However, despite these advantages, in order to perform tasks requiring high speeds/accelerations and/or high precision; such robots are not always recommended because of their lack of stiffness and accuracy. Indeed, parallel kinematic manipulators (PKMs) are more suitable for such tasks. The main idea of their mechanical structure consists in using at least two kinematic chains linking the fixed base to the travelling plate, where each of these chains contains at least one actuator. This may allow a good distribution of the load between the chains. PKMs have important advantages with respect to their serial counterparts in terms of stiffness, speed, accuracy and payload. However, these robots are characterized by their high nonlinear dynamics, kinematic redundancy, uncertainties, actuation redundancy, singularities, etc. Besides, when interested in high-speed robotized repetitive tasks, such as food packaging applications, the key idea lies in looking for short cycle-times. This means obviously to look for short motion and short stabilization times while guaranteeing the robustness and performance with respect to disturbances and changes/uncertainties in the operational conditions. Consequently, if we are interested in control of such robots, all these issues should be taken into account, which makes it a bit challenging task.

This talk will give an overview of some proposed advanced control solutions for high-speed applications of PKMs in food packaging and machining tasks. The proposed solutions are mainly borrowed from nonlinear robust and adaptive control techniques and have been validated through real-time experiments on different PKM prototypes.

Keywords: Parallel Kinematic Manipulators (PKMs), pick and place, adaptive control, robust control, machining.

Speech Title:Reinforcement Learning with Applications in Control Engineering

Abstract:Modern industries are awash with a large amount of data. Extraction of information and knowledge discovery from data for process design, control and optimization, from day-by-day routine process operating data, is especially interesting but also challenging. Traditional control theory has been developed mainly through model-based optimization techniques. The emerging data-driven machine learning technologies, especially reinforcement learning, being able to actively learn from control systems, have gained significant progress, attracting great interests from control engineering communities. This presentation will introduce reinforcement learning technologies and their applications in control engineering.
