This thesis develops optimization based techniques for the control of building heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems for the provision of demand response and ancillary services to the electric grid. The first part of the thesis focuses ...
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 ...
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 ...
We propose to control the motion of nanoparticles using phase-gradient metasurfaces. The latter are used to generate surface waves, which put the particles into motion, when illuminated by a normally incident plane wave. We present an initial study of the ...
This thesis studies advanced control techniques for the control of building heating and cooling systems to provide demand response services to the power network. It is divided in three parts. The first one introduces the MATLAB toolbox OpenBuild which aims ...
The predictive control of the self-sustained single spiral vortex breakdown mode is addressed in the three-dimensional flow geometry of Ruith et al. (2003) for a constant swirl number S = 1.095. Based on adjoint optimization algorithms, two different contr ...
This paper describes synthesis of controllers involving Quadratic Programming (QP) optimization problems for control of nonlinear systems. The QP structure allows an implementation of the controller as a piecewise affine function, pre-computed offline, whi ...
In the field of marine robotics, the problem of range based underwater target localization can be defined as that of localizing an unknown - fixed or moving - target from a surface vehicle called the tracker, using range information available about the tar ...
State-of-the-art approaches in quadrotor control split the problem into multiple cascaded subproblems, exploiting the different time scales of the rotational and translational dynamics. They calculate a desired acceleration as input for a cascaded attitude ...
A co-rotating scroll machine operable as compressor or expander, comprises a transmission and guidance mechanism (9,10) for first and second scroll plates (7,8), having three transmission and guidance units (9,10) uniformly distributed around the scroll pl ...
