Dr. Ziquan Yu received the Ph D degree in control science and engineering from Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China, in 2019. From 2017 to 2019, he was a Joint Ph D student supported by the China Scholarship Council with the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering, Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. He is currently with the College of Automation Engineering, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, China. His current research interests include fault-tolerant control of safety-critical systems, and guidance, navigation, and control of unmanned flight vehicles. Prof. Youmin Zhang received the BS, MS, and Ph D degrees in automatic control from Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi’an, China, in 1983, 1986, and 1995, respectively. He is currently a professor with the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering and Concordia Institute of Aerospace Design and Innovation (CIADI), Concordia University, Montreal, Quebec, Canada. His current research interests include guidance, navigation and control, remote sensing, fault diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control for applications to single and multiple unmanned aerial/space/ground/marine vehicles, renewable energies, smart grids, smart cities, and cyber-physical systems. Prof. Bin Jiang received the Ph D degree in automatic control from Northeastern University, Shenyang, China, in 1995. He has been a post-doctoral fellow or a research fellow in Singapore, France, and USA, and a visiting professor in Canada. He is currently the chair professor of the Cheung Kong Scholar Program, Ministry of Education, and the vice president of the Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing, China. His current research interests include fault diagnosis and fault-tolerant control and their applications. Prof. Chun-Yi Su received the Ph D degree in control engineering from the South China University of Technology, Guangzhou, China, in 1990. He was with the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada. In 1998, he joined Concordia University, Montreal, QC, Canada. His current research interests include the application of automatic control theory to mechanical systems, especially the control of systems involving hysteresis nonlinearities.
