SUMMARY:AE Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Innovations in Aerospace Systems – Current Research (includin
 g Artificial Intelligence) and Future Challenges\n\nSpeaker\nProf. Krishna
  Dev Kumar\nProfessor of Aerospace Engineering\nDirector of Artificial Int
 elligence for Aerospace Systems Laboratory\nToronto Metropolitan Universit
 y\, Canada\n\nAbstract\nAircraft and spacecraft are highly complex systems
 \, comprising various subsystems such as flight control\, propulsion\, and
  power. These subsystems feature Multiple Input &amp\; Multiple Output (MI
 MO) configurations and exhibit highly nonlinear characteristics. Over rece
 nt years\, there has been a growing demand for aerospace systems with impr
 oved performance\, fault tolerance\, and enhanced autonomous capabilities.
  This presentation explores how fault diagnosis\, prognosis and artificial
  intelligence can address these requirements. It delves into model-based\,
  data-driven (artificial intelligence)\, and hybrid approaches\, which hav
 e been proposed for fault diagnosis and prognosis. Furthermore\, the autho
 r has proposed novel methods to meet these evolving demands. These innovat
 ive techniques\, including the Covariance-based adaptive unscented Kalman 
 filter (CAUKF)\, Binary grid covariance adaptive Kalman filter (GAUKF)\, R
 einforced Unscented Kalman Filter (an integration of UKF and Reinforcement
  Learning techniques)\, and Growing Neural Networks (GNN)\, hold promise f
 or aerospace system enhancement. The presentation will feature case studie
 s illustrating the application of these methods in spacecraft attitude and
  orbit control systems\, as well as aircraft engines. By examining the lat
 est advancements and methodologies\, attendees will gain insights into the
  pivotal role these techniques play in enhancing aerospace system reliabil
 ity and efficiency\, ultimately addressing current research challenges and
  shaping the trajectory of future aerospace systems.\nBrief Bio of Speaker
