Robust entrainment to natural oscillations of asymmetric systems arising from animal locomotion
We consider a class of linear flexible mechanical systems arising from the dynamics of animal locomotion. A distinctive property of such systems is that the stiffness matrix is asy...

Robust Controller Synthesis for Hybrid Systems Using Modal Logic
Abstract. In this paper, we formulate and robustly solve a quite general class of hybrid controller synthesis problems. The type of controller we investigate is the switching contr...

Metaclasses are First Class: the ObjVlisp Model
This paper shows how an attempt at a uniform and reflective definition resulted in an open-ended system supporting ObjVlisp, which we use to simulate object-oriented language exte...

An Investigation into Non-Smooth Locomotion
We analyze a class of mechanisms that locomote by switching between constraints. Because of the hybrid nature of such systems, most of the existing analysis tools, developed prima...
