Tutorial Lectures Descriptions

Tutorial 1:
Data-Driven Controller Tuning: Basics and New Developments

Lecture 1: Data-Driven Controller Tuning: The Basics of Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (FRIT)
Abstract: In this lecture, some introductions and basic ideas of FRIT are presented. First, we give a brief review of some historical backgrounds of data-driven controller tuning, e.g., Iterative Feedback Tuning (IFT), which is the most rational data-driven approach while it requires many experiments. Then, we present the basic idea of FRIT to overcome the weak point of IFT by focusing on the standard desired tracking problem. Particularly, we explain the mechanism of FRIT that enables us to obtain the desired parameter with only one-shot experiment data and the interpretation of the cost function to be minimized there in a comprehensive fashion. These contents are also illustrated in both of the transfer function setting and the state space setting. Comparisons with VRFT are also presented from the viewpoints of the cost functions and loop characteristics. The extension to MIMO systems and the analysis of the effect of the noise are also presented.

Lecture 2: Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning Method for Disturbance Attenuation
Abstract: The lecture shows a research project on FRIT (Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning) methods which employ the variance evaluation for the performance criterion to solve the disturbance attenuation problem. The FRIT method is one of the direct control parameter tuning methods. The project aims at developing methods to tune the control parameters so that the variance of the plant output approaches the variance of the reference model output. The projects establish direct control parameter tuning methods which can avoid an extra experiment. The feature facilitates applying the proposed method to the industrial applications.
	Speaker: Shiro Masuda (Tokyo Metropolitan University) Short Biography: Shiro Masuda received B.S. and M.S. degrees in engineering from Kyoto University in 1987, 1989, respectively.

His research interest is adaptive control, model predictive control and industrial applications of control engineering. He is a member of SICE, ISCIE, IEEJ, and IEEE.

Lecture 3: Nonlinear Compensation and Optimization Methods for Data-Driven Control
Abstract: When we apply fictitious reference iterative tuning (FRIT) and virtual reference feedback tuning (VRFT), we use a linear system as a reference model for convenience. In contrast, most plants include nonlinearities such as a dead zone, hysteresis, saturation, and backlash. The first half of this talk is devoted to showing that we can improve the control performance of FRIT and VRFT by compensating for these nonlinearities. In the second half, we focus on what kind of optimization method is appropriate for FRIT and VRFT. We give an overview of available optimization commands and tools in MATLAB, and compare the features of the corresponding optimization methods.

His research interests are in control and optimization methods and their applications. He is a member of SICE, ISCIE, IEEJ, and IEEE.

Lecture 4: Simultaneous Attainment of Model and Controller: Potential Applicability for Analysis of the Interaction between Modeling and Control
Abstract: In the case where the plant model is explicitly parameterized in the controller, it is expected that the tuning of the controller for the achievement of a given specification corresponds to the attainment of the model that reflects the dynamics of the plant with necessary and sufficient information for the achievement of the specification. In this lecture, by focusing on the Internal Model Controllers (IMC) and the full-state observer based controller, the utilization of FRIT to these controllers yields not only desired controller parameter but also a model of a plant, i.e., data-driven simultaneous attainment of model and controller can be performed by utilizing FRIT. This last lecture illustrates that FRIT is not only just a controller tuning method but also a new tool with the potential applicability for analysis of the interaction between modeling and control.

Program 2: Revolutionary Technology toward Personalized Genomic Medicines
Abstract: The throughput and costs of DNA sequencing are barriers to the use of personalized medicine and therapeutics. The U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) has launched the $1000 Genome Project toward practical realization of an ultrafast, label-free, and low-cost DNA sequencer for use in personalized medicine. The targeted device structure contains a pair of nanoelectrodes embedded in a nanopore. It has been theoretically proposed that reading the transverse tunneling current through a DNA molecule via embedded electrodes enables DNA sequencing that traverses the nanopore. This new detection paradigm is expected to revolutionize DNA sequencing capability by enabling complete sequencing of the human genome, a formidable task by conventional PCR-based techniques, within a day at a cost of $1000. However, despite its huge potential the technique still lacks experimental verification. We were the first to identify single base molecules of DNA via tunneling currents using 1-nm-gap nanoelectrodes. In 2012, we successfully demonstrated single-molecule electrical sequencing of DNA and microRNA. Furthermore, we also successfully performed single molecule identification of methylated cytosine, which is most extensively studied as a significant epigenetic marker because of its direct relevance to human health and diseases. Single-molecule sequencing technology will allow investigation of the relationship between diseases and DNA and microRNA and provide innovative solutions for disease mechanisms, therapeutic strategies, and personalized medicine.
