Title: Refined Estimation and Control for Disturbances: From Resistance to Utilization

Abstract: Studies on disturbance and uncertainty have been one fundamental problem in both control and intelligence science. This presentation is a summary for the refined estimation and control theory for multi-source, heterogeneous, isomeric disturbance systems. Starting from the requirements of unmanned systems， the theoretical framework is addressed which includes disturbance separation and estimation, disturbance controllable quantification, disturbance absorption, utilization and reconstruction optimization. Three branches including the refined anti-disturbance control, composite disturbance filtering and dynamic closed-loop uncertainty qualification will be introduced. Some typical applications for intelligent unmanned systems will be presented in bionic navigation, control and evolutional design, respectively.
