— The practical implementation of Min-Max MPC (MMMPC) controllers is limited by the computational burden required to compute the control law. This problem can be circumvented by ...
— This paper outlines a novel and feasible procedure to predict vertical motions for safe landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) during maritime operations. In the presence o...

— The paper studies the visibility maintenance problem (VMP) for a leader-follower pair of robots modelled as first-order dynamic systems and proposes an original solution based...

— We consider a queueing system composed of queues distributed at fixed locations in a continuous environment and a mobile server serving the jobs in the queues with spatially v...

Abstract— In [1] a balanced canonical form for continuoustime lossless systems was presented. This form has a tridiagonal dynamical matrix A and the useful property that the corr...
Ionic polymer-metal composites (IPMCs) form an important category of electroactive polymers and have many potential applications in biomedical, robotic and micro/nano manipulation ...
Abstract— This paper presents new algorithms for conducting cooperative sensing using a mobile backbone network. This hierarchical sensing approach combines backbone nodes, which...
— This paper introduces a hybrid control scheme for steering a non-holonomic agent with limited sensing capabilities and input constraints through a stationary but unknown worksp...

— In this paper, we study an optimal control problem arising in plasma transport which is governed by a singularly perturbed system. Time-scale separation allows us to focus on a...
