Tutorial - 2
Abstract: Energy harvesting (EH) is an emerging solution that captures ambient energy from the surrounding
environment to power battery-free electronics, enabling maintenance-free and eco-friendly Internet of
Things (IoT) applications. A critical component in EH systems is the power conditioning circuit, which
interfaces with upstream micro/nano power generators and delivers regulated power to downstream
embedded digital devices. This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of the physical principles,
historical developments, and latest advancements in switched-mode power conditioning circuits for EH
devices, in particular, kinetic energy sources. The discussion focuses on electromechanical dynamic
interactions, power enhancement circuits, and self-powered solutions, all aimed at improving the
understanding, implementation, and performance of upstream power interfaces. Special attention is also
given to the energy buffer-release mechanism, which ensures stable and reliable energy supply for
downstream electronics. Beyond technical details, the speaker will explore challenges and opportunities in
the technology translation of battery-free IoT solutions, highlighting a clear path toward scalable and practical
real-world applications.

Abstract: Sampling and communication are both crucial for coordination in multi-agent systems (MASs), with
sampling capturing raw data from the environment for control decision making, and communication ensuring
the data is shared effectively for synchronized and informed control decisions across agents. However, practical
MASs often operate in environments where continuous and synchronous data samplings and exchanges are
impractical, necessitating strategies that can handle intermittent sampling and communication constraints.
This Keynote Speech will provide a comprehensive survey of recent advances in distributed coordination
control of MASs under intermittent sampling and communication, focusing on both foundational principles
and state-of-the-art techniques. After introducing fundamentals, such as communication topologies, agent
dynamics, control laws, and typical coordination objectives, the distinctions between sampling and
communication are elaborated, exploring deterministic versus random, synchronous versus asynchronous, and
instantaneous versus sequential scenarios. A detailed review of emerging trends and techniques is then
presented, covering time-triggered, event-triggered, communication-protocol-based, and denial-of-service-
resilient coordination control. These techniques are analyzed across various attack models, including those
based on data loss, sampled data, time constraints, and topology switching. By synthesizing these
developments, this survey aims to equip researchers and practitioners with a clearer understanding of current
challenges and methodologies, concluding with insights into promising future directions.

Abstract: Networked and distributed control for mechatronic systems have received great attention in the
control community due to its wide application areas. Network-induced limitations may be caused by the
presence of a communication channel, or because of the efficient assignment of power and other limited
resources. Intelligent mechatronic systems represent a large class of smart systems that encompass
computational (i.e., hardware and software) and physical components, seamlessly integrated and closely
interacting to autonomously sense and manipulate the changing state of the physical system. These systems
involve a high degree of complexity at numerous spatial and temporal scales and highly networked
communications integrating computational and physical components. Model predictive control (MPC) is a
promising paradigm for high-performance and cost-effective control of networked and distributed
mechatronic systems. This talk will firstly summarize the major application requirements and challenges to
innovate in designing, implementing, deploying and operating intelligent mechatronic systems. Further, the
robust MPC and distributed MPC design methods will be presented. Finally, the application of MPC algorithms
to a variety of autonomous intelligent mechatronic systems will be illustrated.

Industry Forum 3 on Network Stability, AI, and Cybersecurity
Talk 1: Analysis of Network Stability and the Internet
Avalanche Threat
10:30-11:30|Thursday, 14 MAY, Room 360.3.011
Abstract: The Internet Avalanche Threat occurs frequently in all networks.
Recently the Internet Network has been proven to be unstable, however there are conditions where the internet
will operate in a stable manner. Malicious actors can modify the network stability to block all traffic either locally or
remotely. When stable conditions are restored, the network will recover without human intervention and there is
little or no trace of the actions that caused the network instability.
This presentation will describe the internet network stability criteria created by Prof Erol Gelenbe and how the
internet stability can be degraded to block all traffic. The description of the Internet Avalanche Threat will describe
how network failures can be created remotely and by poor network design.
Methods for Identifying Internet Avalanche activity and guidelines of changes to network designs to mitigate
Internet Avalanche events will be discussed.
Additional Talk:
How AI Makes Decisions and How This Information Applies to the
Anthropic Mythos Threat

Industry Forum 3 on Network Stability, AI, and Cybersecurity
Talk 2: Bridging the Gap: The Management of IT/OT
Cybersecurity and Regulatory Hurdles in Industrial
Tech Integration
Focusing on the role of the solution manager, we will examine the interpretation of cybersecurity
mandates and the "abuse cases" of regulatory processes that can delay or derail deployment. The
discussion will cover the critical path from initial client requirements to full system integration,
highlighting how to navigate data governance, security audits, and the legal nuances of technology
adoption. Attendees will gain a management-level understanding of how to lead teams through
these friction points, ensuring that high-value digital transformations are not just designed, but
successfully adopted and operationalized.
