Title: From Fractional Order Mechatronics to Smart Mechatronics
Speaker: Prof. YangQuan Chen (University of California, Merced, US)
Time: January 23, 10:30-11:00
Venue: D1-b110, Guangzhou International Campus
[Abstract]
This talk first presents an overview of applying fractional calculus （AFC） in mechatronics modeling and control in the past decade. The scope of “fractional order mechatronics” was discussed and outlined. It is particularly emphasized that when mechatronics service for human such as biomechatronic systems like rehabilitation and exoskeletons, fractional order modeling and control should be essential. Then we argue that in the future, how to empower the mechatronics systems with “smartness” should be the future where various self-awareness features are built in such as performance awareness, health condition awareness. safety awareness, attack awareness, fault awareness etc. We also point out that, to achieve smart mechatronics there are ample opportunities for future research involving applied fractional calculus.
