Tendon-based transmission systems for robotic devices: Models and control algorithms
— Tendon-based transmission systems present many positive aspects and greatly simplify the mechanical design of small robotic devices, such as robotic fingers. On the other hand...

Nonlinear gliding stability and control for vehicles with hydrodynamic forcing
This paper presents Lyapunov functions for proving stability of steady gliding motions for vehicles with hydrodynamic or aerodynamic forces and moments. Because of lifting forces ...

Iterative Risk Allocation: A new approach to robust Model Predictive Control with a joint chance constraint
Abstract— This paper proposes a novel two-stage optimization method for robust Model Predictive Control (RMPC) with Gaussian disturbance and state estimation error. Since the dis...

Incorporating state estimation into model predictive control and its application to network traffic control
Model predictive control (MPC) is of interest because it is one of the few control design methods which preserves standard design variables and yet handles constraints. MPC is nor...

Feedback Stabilization and Lyapunov Functions
Given a locally defined, nondifferentiable but Lipschitz Lyapunov function, we construct a (discontinuous) feedback law which stabilizes the underlying system to any given toleran...
