SUMMARY:Vortrag von Prof. Naomi Leonard
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Naomi E. Leonard\nFaculty of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering\nPrinceton University \nPrinceton, NJ, USA\n\n\n  \nFriday 2024-12-13 2 p.m.\nIST Seminar Room 2.255 - Pfaffenwaldring 9 - Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen  \nAbstract\nI will introduce Excitable Nonlinear Opinion Dynamics (E-NOD), which enable decision-making and\ncontrol with superior “agility” in responding to and adapting to fast and unpredictable changes in\ncontext, environment, or information received about available options. ENOD derives through the\nintroduction of a single extra term to the previously presented Nonlinear Opinion Dynamics (NOD),\nwhich have been shown to provide fast and flexible multiagent behavior. The extra term is inspired\nby the fast-positive, slow-negative mixed-feedback structure of excitable systems. The agile\nbehaviors brought about by the new excitable nature of decision-making driven by E-NOD are analyzed\nin a general setting and illustrated in applications to robot navigation around human movers and to\ncontrol of soft robotics.  \nBiographical Information\nNaomi Ehrich Leonard is Chair and Edwin S. Wilsey Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace\nEngineering at Princeton University. She is associated faculty with the Program in Applied and\nComputational Mathematics and the Biophysics Graduate Program, and affiliated faculty with the\nPrinceton Neuroscience Institute. She is Founding Director of CreativeX, a Princeton\nengineering-and-the-arts collective, and Founding Editor of \nAnnual Review of Control, Robotics, and Autonomous Systems. Leonard received her B.S.E. in\nMechanical Engineering from Princeton University and her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the\nUniversity of Maryland. She is a MacArthur Fellow, a member of the American Academy of Arts and\nSciences, and a Fellow of the ASME, IEEE, IFAC, and SIAM. Recent awards include the 2023 IEEE\nControl Systems Award and the 2024 Richard E. Bellman Control Heritage Award.\nLeonard's background includes feedback control theory, nonlinear dynamics, geometric mechanics,\nand robotics, where she has contributed to theory and application. She studies and designs complex,\ndynamical systems comprised of many interacting agents, such as animals, humans, and autonomous\nvehicles, that move, sense, and decide together. She develops analytically tractable mathematical\nmodels of collective dynamics that provide the systematic means to examine the role of feedback,\ninterconnection, and individual differences in the behavior, learning, and resilience of groups in\nchanging environments. Leonard’s collaborators have included researchers in oceanography, ecology,\nevolutionary biology, neuroscience, and political science, and artists.  \n\n\n\n  \n
