内容简介：In this talk, brief introduction to fault-tolerant control and cooperative control will be given. Historical development and new challenges in these active research areas will be outlined. Our current research work in this active research area with applications to a set of autonomous indoor quad-rotor helicopter UAVs and wheeled mobile robot test-bed developed at Concordia University will be introduced.

报告人简介:  Dr. Youmin Zhang is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. Dr. Youmin Zhang received his Ph.D. degree in 1995 from the Department of Automatic Control, Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xian, P. R. China.
