Abstract: Research on biologically inspired intelligent systems has made significant progress in both understanding the biological systems and developing bionic engineering applications to information processing and systems control. In this talk, I will start with a brief introduction to neurodynamics based approaches. Then, I will focus on our recent research on neurodynamics based tracking control of various robotics systems, including autonomous mobile robots, water surface robots, underwater robots, and unmanned aerial robots.

Short Biography: Prof. Yang received the B.Sc. degree in engineering physics from Beijing University, China, in 1987, the first of his two M.Sc. degrees in biophysics from Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China, in 1990, the second M.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Houston, USA, in 1996, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada, in 1999. He joined the University of Guelph in Canada in August 1999. Currently he is a Professor and the Head of the Advanced Robotics and Intelligent Systems (ARIS) Laboratory at the University of Guelph. Prof. Yang’s research expertise is in the area of intelligent systems, robotics, sensors and signal processing, multi-sensor fusion, wireless sensor networks, intelligent control, and computational neuroscience. Dr. Yang has served as the Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Robotics and Automation, and Journal of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, and an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, and several other international journals. Dr. Yang has involved in the organization of many international conferences. He is the General Chair of 2011 IEEE International Conference of Automation and Logistics.
