This paper presents a data-driven controller-tuning algorithm that includes a sufficient condition for closed-loop stability. This stability condition is defined by a set of convex constraints on the Fourier transform of specific auto- and cross-correlatio ...
A major issue in the field of human-robot interaction for assistance to manipulation is transparency. This basic feature qualifies the capacity for a robot to follow human movements without any human-perceptible resistive forces. In this paper we address t ...
Facilities operating in cycles, such as particles accelerators, require pulsed power. Directly drawing this pulsed power from the industrial network is generally not acceptable. A system with a local energy storage system lessens the impact on the network. ...
A novel scheme for processing packets in a router is presented that provides load sharing among multiple network processors distributed within the router. It is complemented by a feedback control mechanism designed to prevent processor overload. Incoming t ...
The stability and the dimensioning of a step-down switching voltage regulator feedback loop remain a complex task. An analytical approach allows dimensioning of all the components, strongly facilitating this task. In this article, a mathematical analysis i ...
This paper addresses a question raised by a leading expert in the identification of multivariable systems: “Is it necessary to excite all reference signals for the identification of a multivariable system operating in closed loop with a linear time-invaria ...
A new approach for robust fixed-order H∞ controller design by convex optimization is proposed. Linear time-invariant single-input single-output systems represented by a finite set of complex values in the frequency domain are considered. It is show ...
In a recent work, a frequency method based on linear programming is proposed to design fixed-order linearly parameterized controllers for stable linear multi- model SISO systems. The method is based on the shaping of the open-loop transfer functions in the ...
Prediction error identification requires that data be informative with respect to the chosen model structure. Whereas sufficient conditions for informative experiments have been available for a long time, there were surprisingly no results of necessary and ...
To improve the resolution of the Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) a two-stage mechanical system, a so called Differential Delay Line (DDL), is developed jointly by the EPFL and the Observatory of Geneva. The system is designed to reach nanometer ...
