We explicitly construct global strict Lyapunov functions for rapidly time-varying nonlinear control systems. The Lyapunov functions we construct are expressed in terms of oftentim...
This paper describes an impulse-based dynamic simulation method for articulated bodies which has a linear time complexity. Existing linear-time methods are either based on a reduc...
Abstract— A Model Predictive Control (MPC) -based approach is presented for autonomous path following via Active Front Steering (AFS). We start from the Nonlinear MPC (NMPC) prob...

—we investigated whether flapping flight has an inherent stability by analyzing the inertial and aerodynamic effects of flapping wings on body dynamics. Based on wing and body ki...
