It was previously shown that the problem of verifying whether a finite concurrent system is linearizable can be done with an EXPSPACE complexity. However, the best known lower bound is PSPACE-hardness, and can be obtained using a reduction from control-sta ...
Theoretical studies suggest and experimental evidence confirms that maintaining and changing human joint stiffness by coactivated antagonistic muscles are metabolically expensive, even if muscles do not perform net mechanical work. Based on this observatio ...
This paper presents a solution to the problem of path following control for autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) subject to input constraints and constant ocean current disturbances. We propose two nonlinear control strategies: the first is obtained by using ...
Optimization-based controllers are advanced control systems whose mechanism of determining control inputs requires the solution of a mathematical optimization problem. In this thesis, several contributions related to the computational effort required for o ...
A new data-driven approach using the frequency response function (FRF) of a system is proposed for designing robust-fixed structure digital controllers for particle accelerators' power converters. This design method ensures that the dynamics of a system ar ...
We present a new framework to generate humanlike lower-limb trajectories in periodic and non-periodic walking. In our method, walking dynamics is encoded in 3LP, a linear simplified model composed of three pendulums to simulate falling, swing, and torso ba ...

An alternative approach for real-time network- wide traffic control in cities that has recently gained a lot of interest is perimeter flow control. The focus of the current work is to study two aspects that are not covered in the perimeter control literatu ...
A new model-reference data-driven approach is presented which uses the frequency response data of a system in order to avoid the problem of unmodeled dynamics associated with low-order parametric models. It is shown that a convex optimization problem can b ...
The size, weight, and power consumption of soft wearable robots rapidly scale with their number of active degrees of freedom. While various underactuation strategies have been proposed, most of them impose hard constrains on the kinetics and kinematics of ...
