Controllability decompositions of networked systems through quotient graphs
In this paper we study decentralized, networked systems whose interaction dynamics are given by a nearestneighbor averaging rule. By letting one node in the network take on the rol...

Robust grey-box closed-loop stop-and-go control
This paper presents a robust stop-and-go control law, especially well adapted to car following scenarios in urban environments. Since many vehicle/road interaction factors (road sl...

Physical parameter optimization in swarms of ultra-low complexity agents
Physical agents (such as wheeled vehicles, UAVs, hovercraft, etc.) with simple control systems are often sensitive to changes in their physical design and control parameters. As s...

Three-Dimensional Kneed Bipedal Walking: A Hybrid Geometric Approach
A 3D biped with knees and a hip is naturally modeled as a nontrivial hybrid system; impacts occur when the knee strikes and when the foot impacts the ground causing a switch in the...
