Speech Title: Theory and Application of Active Fault-Tolerant Control in Multi-Agent Systems

Abstract: Multi-agent systems are susceptible to faults, which can easily spread within the system. To ensure the healthy operation of these systems, it is necessary to establish an active fault-tolerant control mechanism that maintains stability, reliability, and safety despite faults. This topic focuses on the active fault-tolerant control of both homogeneous and heterogeneous multi-agent systems affected by physical layer faults, as well as the security control theory of multi-agent systems under the combined effects of physical layer faults and network layer attacks. These studies provide robust solutions for enhancing the reliability and security of multi-agent systems and intelligent unmanned systems.
