报告摘要：

Output regulation is an important issue in control design of nonlinear dynamic systems. It treats output tracking and disturbance rejection of nonlinear systems in a unified way. There have been significant achievements in output regulation in the last twenty years, and this topic is still an active research area, in particular, in the applications to network-connected multi-agent systems. This talk will review fundamental concepts such as invariant manifolds and major achievements in the area, and report on certain latest developments towards distributed adaptive consensus output regulation of linear and nonlinear dynamic systems.
