Abstract | |
| There are a lot of world-wide crucial issues such as energy, environment, transportation and so on, and most of the science and engineering communities including the control community should try to solve them by collaborating with each other, where the target physical systems are normally very large and complex. Hence, it is natural from systems and control viewpoints to consider such systems as hierarchically networked dynamical systems, where the purpose of control is to achieve the global tasks by cooperation of multiple subsystems having their local objectives. One of the ideas to handle such systems is so called "Glocal (Global/Local) Control," meaning that the global objective is achieved by local actions of sensing and control in a cooperative manner. After showing backgrounds of the idea of “Glocal Control” and the research directions, the first half of this talk focuses on two topics related to “Harmony”, namely (i) how to realize harmony with environments, (ii) how to compromise the global and local control objectives. The control theoretic results enable us to develop scalable analysis and synthesis methodologies for glocal control by cooperation of subsystems. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is verified through practical applications including a type of electric vehicle with multiple locally controlled wheels and a multi-rotor system. The second half of this talk is devoted to two recent research directions focusing on (i) harmony of advanced control theory and AI/Learning/Data Sciences and (ii) harmony with environments and human activities. As an example of each direction, an approach towards harmony of model-based control and data-driven control and the challenging topics of micro-meteorology prediction and control are briefly addressed, respectively. The future research directions along this line are provided at the end of talk. | |

Shinji Hara (原辰次) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in engineering from Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, in 1974, 1976, and 1981, respectively. In 1984, he joined Tokyo Institute of Technology as an Associate Professor and served as a Full Professor for ten years. From 2002 to 2017 he was a Full Professor in the Department of Information Physics and Computing at the University of Tokyo. He is Professor Emeritus of Tokyo Institute of Technology and the University of Tokyo. His current research interests are in robust control, decentralized cooperative control for large-scale networked dynamical systems, system biology, and glocal control. Dr. Hara has received many awards in control including the George S. Axelby Outstanding Paper Award from the IEEE Control System Society in 2006. He was the President of SICE (Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, Japan) in 2009, a Vice President of the IEEE Control Systems Society in 2009 to 2010, and an IFAC Council member from 2011 to 2017. He is a Fellow of IFAC, IEEE, and SICE. | |
