In the scientific literature, two main approaches have been proposed for control system design from data. In the "model-based" approach, a model of the system is first derived from data and then a controller is computed based on the model. In the "data-dri ...
The major goal of this research was the development and implementation of a control system able to avoid collisions during the flight for a mini-quadrotor helicopter, based only on its embedded sensors without changing the environment. However, it is impor ...
This paper introduces the concept of hybrid operational space control, a method that unifies kinematic tracking of individual joints with an inverse dynamics task space controller for the remainder of the robot. The proposed control strategy allows for a h ...
A new method for the design of fixed-order Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) controllers with polytopic representation for LTI plants is proposed. The stability constraints for the closed-loop system are presented through a set of Linear Matrix Inequalities ( ...
Purpose – Intelligent control for unidentified systems with unstable equilibriums is not always a proper control strategy, which results in inferior performance in many cases. Because of the existing trial and error manner of the procedure in former durati ...
This paper is devoted to the design of a predictive controller for constrained linear systems to track periodic references. The only assumption on the dynamics of the reference is that it is periodic and its period is known. It is also assumed that the ref ...
The flexible transmission benchmark was proposed in the European Journal of Control to evaluate some robust digital control approaches in 1995. With progress in convex optimization algorithms new methods for robust controller design are developed. A recent ...
Recent research has proposed mainstream traffic flow control (MTFC), enabled via variable speed limits (VSLs), as a novel motorway traffic management tool and has demonstrated its efficiency based on sophisticated optimal control methods that may face diff ...

Recent studies show that emotion is a mechanism for fast decision-making in human and other animals. Mathematical models have been developed for describing emotion in mammals. These models, similar to other bio-inspired models, must be implemented in embed ...
A frequent method for taking into account the partially observable nature of an environment in which robots interact lies in formulating the problem domain as a Partially Observable Markov Decision Process (POMDP). By having humans demonstrate how to act i ...
