SUMMARY:Talk of Prof. Dimos Dimarogonas
DESCRIPTION:Prof. Dimos Dimarogonas  \nKTH Royal Institute of Technology,\nStockholm, Sweden   \nThursday 2016-01-14 16:00\n IST-Seminar-Room V2.268 - Pfaffenwaldring 9 - Campus Stuttgart-Vaihingen  \nAbstract\nCurrent control applications necessitate in many cases the consideration of systems with\nmultiple interconnected components. These components/agents may need to fulfill high level tasks at\na discrete planning layer and also coupled constraints at the continuous control layer. Towards\nthis end, the need for combined decentralized control at the continuous layer and planning at the\ndiscrete layer becomes apparent. While there are approaches that handle the problem in a top-down\ncentralized manner, decentralized bottom up approaches have not been pursued to the same extent. We\npresent here some of our initial results for the problem of combined, hybrid control and task\nplanning from high level specifications for multi-agent systems in a bottom up manner. In the first\npart, we present some initial results on extending the necessary notion of abstractions to\nmulti-agent systems in a distributed fashion. We then consider a set up where agents are assigned\nindividual tasks in the form of Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formulas and derive local task planning\nstrategies for each agent. The results are supported by simulations and experiments in different\nrobotic testbeds.  \nBiographical Information\nDimos V. Dimarogonas was born in Athens, Greece, in 1978. He received the Diploma in Electrical\nand Computer Engineering in 2001 and the Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering in 2007, both from the\nNational Technical University of Athens (NTUA), Greece. Between May 2007 and February 2009, he was\na Postdoctoral Researcher at the Automatic Control Laboratory, School of Electrical Engineering,\nACCESS Linnaeus Center, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. Between February 2009\nand March 2010, he was a Postdoctoral Associate at the Laboratory for Information and Decision\nSystems (LIDS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Boston, MA, USA. He is currently\nan Associate Professor at the Automatic Control Laboratory, ACCESS Linnaeus Center, KTH Royal\nInstitute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden.\nHis current research interests include Multi-Agent Systems, Hybrid Systems and Control, Robot\nNavigation and Networked Control. He was awarded a Docent in Automatic Control from KTH in 2012. He\nserves in the Editorial Board of Automatica, the IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and\nEngineering and the IET Control Theory and Applications and is a member of IEEE and the Technical\nChamber of Greece. He is coordinating the EU FP7 project RECONFIG and has received an ERC Starting\nGrant from the European Commission for the proposal BUCOPHSYS in 2014. He was awarded a Wallenberg\nAcademy Fellow grant in 2015.\n
