Keynote Speech I
Non-thermal Food Processing Using Underwater High Voltage Discharge
Professor Kei Eguchi
Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan
Abstract: With the aging society, non-thermal food processing is attracting much attention in order to provide nutritious fresh foods to the elderly. In past studies, several attempts have already been undertaken to develop an efficient non-thermal food processing. This presentation will showcase the design of a shockwave non-thermal food processing system using a novel high voltage generator. Unlike existing technologies such as cold plasma, high voltage arc discharge, and high hydrostatic pressure, the shockwave non-thermal food processing is known as a cost-effective technology, because it can be achieved using only high voltage generators, pressure vessels, high-voltage switches, and large capacitors. However, this method suffers from slow processing speed and high stress to the output capacitor. To overcome these problems, we develop a shockwave non-thermal food processing system using a novel high voltage generator with Cockcroft-Walton/Dickson topology. Furthermore, the target food can be effectively crushed by wire electric discharge. In other words, the proposed technique can improve capacitor stress and processing speed. Experiments on a laboratory prototype reveal that the proposed system outperforms conventional systems.

Keynote Speech II
Multi-Agent Systems – Applications and Challenges
Professor Peng Shi
The University of Adelaide, Australia
Abstract: The key features of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are communication, coordination, and collaboration, by which the agents can achieve a common (and possibly difficult) goal in a more effective and efficient way. Three main topics within the realm of MAS are consensus, flocking and formation control. Cooperating processes often require agents to reach a consensus, which is the fundamental problem in MAS. Flocking (or swarming) is a self-organizing behavior originated from small-size animals with lower intelligence, which enables the emergence of swarm intelligence to improve the whole system survivability and competitiveness. Formation control generally aims to drive the agents to achieve a desired formation, scalable and/or changeable. In this talk, modeling analysis and design of a variety of distributed schemes for consensus and formation control are introduced. Simulations and experimental examples are provided to demonstrate the potential of the proposed new design techniques.
Biography of Professor Peng Shi
Peng Shi received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Newcastle, Australia, the Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from the University of South Australia, the Doctor of Science degree from the University of Glamorgan, UK, and the Doctor of Engineering degree from The University of Adelaide, Australia. He is now a Distinguished Professor at the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, and the Director of Advanced Unmanned Systems Laboratory, at The University of Adelaide, Australia. His research interests include systems and control theory and applications to autonomous and robotic systems, cyber-physical systems, and multi-agent systems. He received the Life-time Achievement Award from the International Engineering and Technology Institute in 2023, the Meritorious Service Award from IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society in 2023, the MA Sargent Medal Award from Engineers Australia in 2022; the recognition of Life-time Achiever Leaderboard and Field Leader from THE AUSTRALIAN Research Review from 2019-2023, and the acknowledgement of a Highly Cited Researcher from Thomson Reuters continuously since 2014. Currently he serves as the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, a Senior Editor of IEEE Access, and an editorial member for a number of journals, including Automatica and IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence. His professional services also include as the President of the International Academy for Systems and Cybernetic Sciences (2021--), the Vice President of IEEE SMC Society (2021-2022), and IEEE SMC Society Distinguished Lecturer (2016--). He is a Fellow of IEEE, IET, IETI, IEAust and CAA, a Member of the Academy of Europe.
