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...
— In this paper we propose a subgradient method for solving coupled optimization problems in a distributed way given restrictions on the communication topology. The iterative pro...
— Network reconstruction, i.e. obtaining network structure from input-output information, is a central theme in systems biology. A variety of approaches aim to obtaining structur...

— We study the problem of dynamic learning by a social network of agents. Each agent receives a signal about an underlying state and communicates with a subset of agents (his nei...
Abstract— In this paper, we consider the sampled-data problem of interconnected systems, specifically, time- and spaceinvariant systems. Our main contribution is to provide suf...
— We discuss a framework for defining physical open systems on higher-dimensional complexes. We start with the formalization of the dynamics of open electrical circuits and the ...
