【报告摘要】Although the concepts and developments on Fault Detection and Diagnosis (FDD) and Fault-Tolerant Control (FTC) have been extensively investigated worldwide since the 1970s and 1980s, respectively, the catastrophic crashes of two Boeing 737 MAX8 airplanes in 2019 have again highlighted the necessity and urgency for FDD and FTC research & development and their industrial applications. On the other hand, the low-altitude economy is developing rapidly in China and other countries around the world. What are the key challenges and technologies of autonomous flight in the low-altitude economy environments? In this seminar, brief overall view on the challenges and latest developments towards smarter, safer, more reliable and more resilient autonomous/unmanned systems in terms of safe and resilient controls of these systems with integration of Remote Sensing (RS) techniques for low-altitude economy applications such as forest fires detection and fighting will be presented first, then some of new developments and current research works being carried out at our group will be introduced secondly. In particular, new developments on FDD, FTC, and Fault/Attack-Tolerant Cooperative Control (FTCC) techniques towards autonomous, safe and secure operations of unmanned systems for forest fire and smart cities monitoring and detection tasks in the presence of physical-faults/damages and cyber-attacks will be presented.
