About
Dr. Huiyan Zhang is a leading researcher in the control and coordination of complex, safety-critical robotic and multi-agent systems. Her work masterfully bridges theoretical control theory with practical engineering, focusing on resilient control under cyber-physical threats. A major contribution is her pioneering approach to security in heterogeneous multi-agent systems, where her 2024 paper on observer-based sampled-data adaptive tracking control under denial-of-service attacks has already garnered 53 citations, highlighting its immediate impact on securing networked robot teams. Dr. Zhang is also renowned for advancing event-triggered and sliding mode control strategies to improve efficiency and robustness, notably for flexible robotic arms with semi-Markov jump processes and for switched systems under disturbances. Beyond theory, she has made significant strides in life support robotics, designing novel omnidirectional mobile chassis and implementing sliding-mode control with extended state observers for precise trajectory tracking. Her work consistently demonstrates how to make autonomous systems—from mobile robots to robotic arms—safer, more efficient, and resilient against both physical uncertainties and malicious cyber attacks.
