—A Rotary Left Ventricular Assist Device (RLVAD) is a mechanical pump implanted in patients with congestive heart failure to assist their left ventricle in pumping blood through ...
Given a nonlinear system and a performance index to be minimized, we present a general approach to expressing the finite time optimal feedback control law applicable to different ...
— We present a system of coupled nonlinear oscillators to be used as programmable central pattern generators, and apply it to control the locomotion of a humanoid robot. Central ...
We consider stability analysis and state feedback synthesis for Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) systems. LPV systems are de"ned as linear systems whose dynamics depend on exog...
For a general class of robots with elastic joints, we introduce an inversion algorithm for the synthesis of a dynamic feedback control law that gives input-output decoupling and f...
