Lyapunov’s indirect methodLyapunovindirect method is one of the oldest and most popular approaches to model-based controller design for nonlinear systemsNonlinearsystem. When the explicit model of the nonlinear systemNonlinearsystem is unavailable for designing such a linear c ...

In this paper, we analyze the regret incurred by a computationally efficient exploration strategy, known as naive exploration, for controlling unknown partially observable systems within the Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) framework. We introduce a two-phase control algorithm ...

A technique to design controllers for nonlinear systems from data consists of letting the controllers learn the nonlinearities, cancel them out and stabilize the closed-loop dynamics. When control and nonlinearities are unmatched, the technique leads to an approximate cancella ...

We consider data-driven control of input-affine systems via approximate nonlinearity cancellation. Data-dependent semi-definite program is developed to characterize the stabilizer such that the linear dynamics of the closed-loop systems is stabilized and the influence of the n ...

Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWTs) pave the way to accessing deep water regions with abundant wind resources that are unreachable to bottom-fixed turbines. This technology is not widely deployed due to the increased cost of producing energy. A suitable control strategy can i ...
Robot manipulators are significantly more accurate than their human counterparts and enhance the repeatability of various tasks. However, manufactures still provide reduced information regarding the robot controller functions, typically affecting robots' predictability. Additiona ...
Fuel consumption reduction in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) powertrains has been an important area of research over the past few decades. HEV powertrains have two energy sources : fuel and battery. The important task of splitting the energy/power demand between both these source ...
