The group has five contributions to the IFAC World Congress of Automatic Control in Yokohama (Japan), reporting on research results on the following topics: distributed and hierarchic control of stochastically modeled multi-agent systems, reference tracking for constrained uncertain systems by stochastic predictive control, approximation of control laws by deep neural networks for nonlinear system with polytopic constraints, optimized synchronization of coupled van-der-Pol oscillators, and distributed interval-based state estimation of linear systems with uncertainties.
