2017年05月22日上午，香港城市大学副校长冯刚教授应邀在将军路校区太阳集团tyc46331号楼303会议室做题为“事件触发控制及其在多智能体系统上的应用”的学术报告。会议由太阳集团tyc4633院长姜斌教授主持，太阳集团tyc4633部分师生参加了报告会。
冯教授的报告主要包括以下三个方面：
1. 事件触发控制系统的研究挑战：如何避免Zeno现象；
2. 针对异构多智能体控制系统设计分布式事件触发控制策略，实现多智能体的输出趋同控制，并避免Zeno现象；
3. 针对异构多智能体控制系统设计分布式自触发控制策略，实现多智能体的输出趋同控制，并避免对测量误差的实时监测和Zeno现象；
冯刚教授介绍了自己在多智能体一致性控制中的若干研究成果。冯教授从多智能体的应用背景说起，提出了一个现实中的应用问题：如何通过节约能源来延长多智能体的工作时间。之后冯刚教授针对异构的线性多智能体系统输出一致性问题介绍了他们最近提出的一种分布式事件触发控制算法。冯教授通过类调节器方程给出了该类问题有解的一个充分必要条件，之后给出了一种自触发控制器设计方法，这种方法可以有效地避免测量误差的连续观测。
冯刚教授的精彩报告让在场的师生对当前事件驱动方法在多智能体系统中的应用等方面工作的最新进展有了更深入的认识。最后，冯刚教授耐心地回答了师生们的提问，与我院师生就正在开展的研究工作展开了交流，并与与会老师合影。
