Abstract--In this paper, we investigate the potential of a selfpowered gliding aircraft to remain aloft indefinitely. We focus specifically on operations in the jet stream where pe...
Switched dynamical systems have shown great utility in modeling a variety of systems. Unfortunately, the determination of a numerical solution for the optimal control of such syste...
Abstract-- We consider optimal experiment design for parametric prediction error system identification of linear timeinvariant systems in closed loop. The optimisation is performed...
Abstract-- Some frequency-domain controller design problems are solved using a finite number of frequency samples. Consequently, the performance and stability conditions are not gu...
We present a direct adaptive controller for discrete-time (and thus sampled-data) systems that are possibly nonminimum phase. The adaptive control algorithm requires limited model ...
With an eye towards design of human-in-the-loop systems, we investigate human decision making in a social context for tasks that require the human to make repeated choices among fi...
This paper studies a general class of formations of unicycle robots. One of the robots plays the role of the leader and the formation is induced through a constraint function F tha...
We derive lower bounds on the convergence speed of a widely used class of distributed averaging algorithms. In particular, we prove that any distributed averaging algorithm whose ...
In this paper, we consider the development of single-timescale schemes for the distributed computation of Nash equilibria. In general, equilibria associated with convex Nash games ...
In this paper we consider visual feedback attitude synchronization in leader-follower type visibility structures in SE(3). We first define visual robotic networks consisting of the...
