Anti-lock braking control design using a Nonlinear Model Predictive approach and wheel information

Over the past century, cars have become a fundamental part of our society. With the increasingly larger number of vehicles on the road, safety is, now more than ever, a topic of paramount importance. It is estimated that every year 26,000 people are killed on European roads, corresponding to a social cost of 100 billion euros. In the last two...

Adaptation of a non-linear controller based on Reinforcement Learning

Closed-loop control systems, which utilize output signals for feedback to generate control inputs, can achieve high performance. However, robustness of feedback control loops can be lost if system changes and uncertainties are too large. Adaptive control combines the traditional feedback structure with providing adaptation mechanisms that adjust...
