Vehicle Path-Following with a GPS-aided Inertial Navigation System
This article describes a methodology to guide a passenger car along a predefined path in order to perform drive tests. A feedback/feedforward control... -
Flatness-Based Improved Relative Guidance Maneuvers for Commercial Aircraft
With the sustained increase of air traffic leading to airspace saturation, new flight maneuvering capabilities are expected for commercial aircraft.... -
Closed-Loop Fault-Tolerant Control for Uncertain Nonlinear Systems
We are designing, perhaps for the first time, closed-loop fault-tolerant control for uncertain nonlinear systems. Our solution is based on a new... -
6 Contact Modelling
This chapter describes the contact modelling for autonomous compliant motion assuming quasi-static, rigid, frictionless contacts. The contact models... -
E Partial Observation with the Kalman Filter
This appendix contains the proofs of Lemmas 7.1 and 7.2. These lemmas state that, for static systems, (i) a Kalman Filter can be run on only the... -
Distributed Kalman Filtering and Sensor Fusion in Sensor Networks
The problem of distributed Kalman filtering (DKF) for sensor networks is one of the most fundamental distributed estimation problems for scalable... -
Applications of Connectivity Graph Processes in Networked Sensing and Control
This paper concerns the problem of controlling mobile nodes in a network in such a way that the resulting graph-encoding of the inter-node... -
Delay-Reliability Tradeoffs in Wireless Networked Control Systems
Networked control systems (NCS) require the data to be communicated timely and reliably. However, random transmission errors incurred by wireless... -
Plenary Talk: The Role of Information Theory in Communication Constrained Control Systems
Communication is an important component of distributed, networked, and cooperative control systems. In most current systems the communication aspects... -
Simulation of Large-Scale Networked Control Systems Using GTSNetS
This paper presents a simulation framework for distributed control using wireless sensor networks. The proposed framework is an extension of the... -
Belief Consensus and Distributed Hypothesis Testing in Sensor Networks
In this paper, we address distributed hypothesis testing (DHT) in sensor networks and Bayesian networks using the average-consensus algorithm of... -
Plenary Talk Network-Embedded Sensing and Control: Applications and Application Requirements
The first part of my talk will cover some recent commercially successful applications of networked and embedded sensing and control solutions. These... -
6 Discrete-time Terminal Sliding Mod: Concept
The behavior of the system in sliding mode is determined by the sliding manifold upon which the system states are constrained. Sliding hyperplanes,... -
Remarks on Moving Horizon State Estimation with Guaranteed Convergence
In this paper, a moving horizon state estimation scheme is proposed. The scheme is inspired by combining the system-theoretic concept of... -
On Invariant Observers
A definition of invariant observer and compatible output function is proposed and motivated. For systems admitting a Lie symmetry-group G of... -
Model-based Nonlinear Tracking Control of Pressure Swing Adsorption Plants
Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes are used for the separation and purification of gas mixtures. PSA plants are composed of several fixed-bed... -
4 Kalman Filters for Nonlinear Systems
The Kalman Filter (KF) [137, 240] is a special case of Bayesian filtering theory. It applies to the estimation of a continuous-valued state x if the... -
Plenary Talk: Delays in Control over Communication Networks: Characterization, Impact, and Reduction Strategies
The most notable trend in manufacturing over the past five years is probably the move towards networks at all levels of industrial systems. At lower... -
Disturbance Attenuation Bounds in the Presence of a Remote Preview
We study the fundamental limits of disturbance attenuation of a networked control scheme, where a remote preview of the disturbance is available. The... -
A Canonical Form for the Design of Unknown Input Sliding Mode Observers
The concept of sliding mode control [11, 27, 32] has been extended to the problem of the state estimation by an observer, both for linear [10, 32]...
