Case Study: System Model of Crane and Embedded Control
A case study of a crane is defined for the evaluation of system description languages. The plant (car and load) is given as a fourth-order linear system. The embedded control incl...

Underactuated control and distribution of multi-agent systems in stratified flow environments
The present paper shows how vertical actuation alone may be used to effectively control the spatial distribution of mobile vehicles ("balloons" in air, or "drifters&...
