Title: Generative Digital Twins: Principles, Architecture, Methodology, and Applications

Abstract: Digital Twins (DTs) are software replicas that not only mirrors physical entities but can also proactively predict, control, optimize and simulate their behavior. Born in the manufacturing sector, this concept after an initial hype stayed untouched for decades. The rise of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled DT, respectively, to exchange real-world data and to fully exploit it for fulfilling its own goals. Very recently, Generative AI (Gen-AI) methods started being sporadically applied to DT in different contexts and with different targets. In this talk, starting from our experiences on design, implementation and evaluation of DTs and, more recently, of Opportunistic DTs, we first provide a definition for the Generative DT (GDT) which embraces main distinctive aspects and potential of current and future Gen-Al-aided DTs. In particular, we disclose the role of Gen-AI in conciliating the model- and the data-driven approach for the development of DTs. Then, we analyze the added value of main Gen-AI architectures and development methodologies for maximizing the effectiveness and the performance of DTs operating in the IoT domain and deployed in the device-edge-cloud continuum. Finally, we illustrate the potential of GDT in emblematic use cases in the Smart City, Smart Manufacturing, Smart Water Systems, Smart Robotics, Smart Education and, more in general, in Smart IoT-driven domains.

Title: From Finite- to Predefined-Time Convergent Control: Design and Applications to Unmanned Aerial Systems

Abstract: This talk presents a brief overview of developing finite-time convergent control algorithms from a conventional first-order sliding mode control to a predefined-time convergent continuous controller designed to stabilize a multi-dimensional system, using a scalar linear time-varying control input. For the permanent-magnet synchronous motor system, three cases are considered: disturbance-free, in presence of unmeasured states, and in presence of both unmeasured states and a deterministic disturbance satisfying a Lipschitz condition. Numerical simulations are conducted for a permanent-magnet synchronous motor system to validate the obtained theoretical results in each of the considered three cases. The simulation results demonstrate that the employed values of the predefined-time convergent control inputs are applicable in practice and verify the algorithm efficiency in each considered case. Then, the unknown moving object (UMO) fencing and monitoring problem is presented for a multi-agent system (MAS) of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). The MAS agents are able to perform unidirectional communication with its immediate neighbors, focusing on the target UMO that is moving with a variable and unknown velocity. Finally, hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) experiments validate practical viability of the proposed framework, showcasing its performance in realistic settings with real-time computational constraints.

Title: Dynamics and Control of Miniature Autonomous Blimps

Abstract: Significant recent advances in unmanned aerial vehicles calls for convenient platforms to support experiments and demonstrations. Unmanned aerial vehicles such as quad-rotors and multi-copters have become popular for this purpose.  However, the indoor usage of these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)  is limited by flight duration per battery charge (typically less than 20 minutes) and  safety concerns to humans sharing the same physical space.  Safety nets or cages provide protection, but sacrifice the potential for human robot interaction experiments. We develop the Miniature Autonomous Blimp (MAB) as flying vehicles for indoor experiments that support safe-interaction between human and robot swarm.  The MAB  has relatively long flight duration up to two hours per battery charge. Furthermore, the blimps are naturally cushioned and do not cause any pain when collide with human. It offers a fun experience that often encourage physical contacts with humans. We have developed vision-based feedback control laws that enable the MAB to detect and track humans. We will report recent progress made on the modeling and control of the MAB. Advanced control techniques achieve more stable flights and more agile motion that enable new applications for the MAB. We will demonstrate examples of human-robot interaction and human-swarm interaction based on MAB.

Title: Humam-like Robot Control, Learning and Human-robot Collaboration

Abstract: This presentation will provide a broad overview of my research in robotics with a focus on learning from Demonstration (LfD). LfD allows robots to acquire and generalize task skills through human demonstrations, creating a seamless integration of artificial intelligence and robotics. Most LfD approaches often overlook the importance of demonstrated forces and rely on manually configured impedance parameters. In response, my team has developed a series of biomimetic impedance and force controllers inspired by neuroscientific findings on motor control mechanisms in humans, enabling robots to imitate compliant manipulation skills. The presentation also covers collaborative control strategies for human-robot interaction, and long-horizon manipulation based on subgoal planning. Tactile sensing designs, soft gripper designs, perception and mapping methods, and advancements in dynamic SLAM and object tracking are also included. Particularly, we designed anthropomorphic visual tactile sensors that assess contact force, surface texture, and shape, to improve robot skill learning through enhanced perceptual capabilities.

Title: From Evolutionary Games to Meta-synthetic Wisdoms

Abstract: Collective intelligence arises from local interactions and adaptive behavioral updates among individuals, manifesting as an emergent cognitive capability derived from distributed behaviors. Evolutionary game theory provides a unified analytical framework for characterizing the transition from microscopic decision-making to macroscopic order. This talk first introduces the fundamental concepts of game theory, highlighting the limitations of the full rationality assumption and presenting the evolutionary perspective under bounded rationality. We then discuss replicator equations and evolutionary dynamics in structured populations. Building on this foundation, this talk surveys two representative lines of research that employ evolutionary game theory to study collective intelligence. The first focuses on constructing models of collective estimation tasks to characterize how such intelligence emerges. The second emphasizes incentive design, exploring how adjustments to payoff structures can effectively enhance group performance in prediction tasks. Finally, the talk will summarize the advantages of evolutionary game theory in integrating microscopic behavior with macroscopic outcomes and outline directions for future research.

Title: Embodied Intelligence for Robotic Navigation and Manipulation

Abstract: This report focuses on the two core functions of service robots, mobility and manipulation, and discusses autonomous perception, intelligent decision-making, and embodied manipulation in complex and open environments. It first provides an overview of the current development of the service robotics industry and related technologies, as well as the key challenges posed by dynamic environments, long-horizon tasks, and complex physical interactions. It then presents the team’s major research progress in mobility and manipulation. For mobility, the research addresses large-scale and dynamic environments through multimodal perception fusion, robust localization, intelligent navigation, and scene memory, aiming to enhance robots’ capabilities for persistent autonomous mobility and anticipatory decision-making. For manipulation, multimodal large models and world models are integrated to investigate task understanding, environment state representation, long-horizon planning, and closed-loop execution, enabling robots to evolve from executing predefined actions toward task understanding, autonomous decision-making, and intelligent manipulation. Human intention prediction is also incorporated to improve adaptability in shared human–robot environments. Ultimately, the work aims to establish an integrated intelligent framework for mobility and manipulation in real-world complex scenarios, advancing service robots toward embodied-intelligence-enabled autonomous operation.

Title: Multi-Dimensional Dynamic Trust Management Mechanism in Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks

Abstract: The underwater acoustic sensor network (UASN) is a pivotal component in realizing the concept of a "smart ocean." However, its potential remains underutilized in complex aquatic environments. The primary challenge lies in the absence of effective methods to ensure UASN security and reliable data transmission. This report presents our team's research on the trust management mechanisms for UASNs. Our main research areas include: 1) an intrusion detection algorithm based on energy prediction model; 2) a multi-dimensional trust calculation algorithm grounded in fuzzy theory; 3) a trust evaluation algorithm utilizing cloud theory; and 4) a trust prediction algorithm driven by machine learning. These research outcomes hold significant theoretical and practical implications for advancing the security technologies and applications of UASNs.

Title: Intelligent Manipulation and Cooperative Operation Technology of Underwater Vehicles

Abstract: Marine resources are abundant with huge development potential. Subsea cables serve as the “major arteries and lifelines” for the transmission of cross‑sea electric power and information. Once a fault occurs, it will directly endanger the safe operation of major national projects including offshore wind farms, seafloor observation networks and subsea oil‑gas fields. As an interdisciplinary field combining marine engineering and intelligent robotics, underwater robots have attracted extensive attention and achieved rapid development in recent years. Their intelligent detection and intervention capabilities constitute a vital technical means for marine resource exploration and the inspection‑maintenance of subsea facilities. This report will focus on subsea intelligent inspection and detection based on underwater unmanned systems. Aiming at practical bottlenecks of underwater robots, including limited accessible environmental information, constrained underwater communication, and the challenges of coordinated motion control for the vehicle‑manipulator‑end‑effector system with multiple redundant degrees of freedom, it will review state‑of‑the‑art advances in intelligent intervention operations of underwater robots. The schemes and engineering feasibility of underwater embodied intelligence will be discussed. Taking subsea‑facility inspection as a typical scenario, the research progress of our team in intelligent intervention and cooperative operations will be presented.
