专题学术讲座

lgor Boiko

12月4日上午，伊利诺伊工程学院举办高水平学术讲座。本次讲座由自动化学院（人工智能学院）特别邀请，国际知名控制领域专家、阿布扎比哈利法科学技术大学电气工程系教授lgor Boiko主讲，讲座主题为“PID控制器最优非参数整定——控制器设计新范式”。伊利诺伊学院电气工程及其自动化专业全体学生及相关专业感兴趣的学生共同参与。

On the morning of December 4, 2025,Illinois Tech College of Engineering (ITCE) held high-quality academic lecture. The lecture was specially organized by College of Automation（College of Artificial Intelligence）and delivered by Professor Igor Boiko, an international renowned expert in the field of control and a professor with the Electrical Engineering Department of Khalifa University of Science and Technology. The lecture titled "Optimal Non-Parametric Tuning of PID Controllers-A New Paradigm for Controller Design". All students at ITCE majoring in Electrical Engineering and Automation, as well as students from related majors who were interested in the field, participated in the lecture.

讲座中，Igor Boiko教授系统回顾了PID控制器整定技术的发展历程。他介绍到，经典非参数整定法通过引发系统持续振荡获取关键参数，但难以实现自动化操作；继电反馈测试借助非线性元件激发振荡，更易自动化，不过这两种方法均存在引入控制器后系统相位偏移的缺陷。他重点阐述改进型继电器反馈测试等新型连续振荡测试的技术优势，并生动展示了该方法已在过程控制、无人机、卫星姿态控制等多领域成功应用，为相关行业技术升级提供了新思路。

During the lecture, Professor Igor Boiko gave a systematic overview of the evolution of non-parametric PID controller tuning techniques. He explained that classical non-parametric tuning methods, such as the Ziegler–Nichols continuous cycling procedure, obtain the ultimate gain and ultimate frequency by forcing the loop into sustained oscillations, but are difficult to automate in practice. The relay feedback test (RFT), which introduces a relay nonlinearity into the control loop to generate self-oscillations, is more suitable for autotuning; however, both approaches suffer from the drawback that the phase-crossover frequency of the plant changes once a PID controller is inserted in the loop. Professor Boiko then focused on the technical advantages of the Modified Relay Feedback Test (MRFT) and other new continuous cycling–based tests, and vividly demonstrated how these methods have already been successfully applied in process control, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and satellite attitude control, providing new ideas for upgrading control technologies in related industries.

在交流讨论环节，同学们围绕电气专业学习、出国深造规划、行业发展前景以及人工智能前沿趋势等话题踊跃提问。Igor Boiko教授结合自身多年的研究与教学经验，逐一给出细致深入、兼具专业性与启发性的解答。针对“人工智能时代下电气自动化领域的发展新方向”这一问题，教授深入剖析了经典低阶负反馈控制技术与人工智能驱动的高级控制系统的定位差异及未来前景。他对电气自动化与人工智能交叉新兴领域的独到解读，不仅极大激发了同学们的科研探索热情，更为在座学子的学术深造与职业规划提供了切实可行的宝贵指导。

During the discussion session, students raised questions on topics including studying electrical engineering, planning for further studies abroad, industry development prospects, and frontier trends in artificial intelligence. Drawing on his extensive research and teaching experience in control theory and applications, Professor Igor Boiko provided clear and insightful answers to each question. In response to a question on “new development directions for electrical automation in the era of artificial intelligence,” he analysed the respective roles and future prospects of classical low-order feedback control techniques—such as widely used PID-based schemes and AI-driven advanced control systems, and discussed how these approaches are likely to complement each other in practice. His perspective on emerging interdisciplinary areas at the intersection of electrical automation and artificial intelligence not only greatly stimulated students’ enthusiasm for research, but also offered practical guidance for their future academic development and career planning.

讲座后，伊利诺伊工程学院院长李卓与Igor Boiko教授开展座谈。双方围绕学术交流合作、学科交叉融合创新展开热烈探讨，为两院搭建长效合作桥梁，促进国际化人才培养与发展奠定了良好基础。

After the lecture, Dean Li Zhuo of the ITCE and Professor Igor Boiko held a meeting. The two sides had an in-depth discussion on academic exchange and collaboration, as well as innovation through interdisciplinary integration, laying a solid foundation for building a long-term cooperative partnership between the two institutions and for fostering internationally oriented talent.

本次讲座不仅是一次顶尖学术思想的分享，更是一场启迪智慧、规划未来的育人课堂，有效拓宽了学生的国际学术视野，激发了创新思维，对学院人才培养与学科发展起到了积极的推动作用。

This lecture was not only a sharing of cutting-edge academic ideas, but also an inspiring educational session that helped students reflect on their future paths. It effectively broadened their international academic horizons, stimulated innovative thinking, and played a positive role in advancing talent cultivation and discipline development within the College.
