Data-driven fixed-structure frequency-based H2 and H∞ controller design

Alireza Karimi, Vaibhav Gupta, Philippe Louis Schuchert

The frequency response data of a generalized system is used to design fixed-structure controllers for the H2 and H∞ synthesis problem. The minimization of the two and infinity norm of the transfer function between the exogenous inputs and performance outpu ...

Vertical and Leg Stiffness Modeling During Running: Effect of Speed and Incline

Kamiar Aminian, Frédéric Meyer, Grégoire Millet, Mathieu Pascal Falbriard

A spring mass model is often used to describe human running, allowing to understand the concept of elastic energy storage and restitution. The stiffness of the spring is a key parameter and different methods have been developed to estimate both the vertica ...

Frequency-domain data-driven position-dependent controller synthesis for Cartesian Robots

Alireza Karimi, Philippe Louis Schuchert

Cartesian robots have position-dependent dynamics that should be accounted for in high performance applications. Traditional methods design Linear Time Invariant (LTI) controllers which are robustly stable with respect to position variations, but require a ...
