On Consensusability of Linear Interconnected Multi-Agent Systems and Simultaneous Stabilization

Giancarlo Ferrari Trecate, Mustafa Sahin Turan, Liang Xu

Consensusability of multi-agent systems (MASs) certifies the existence of a distributed controller capable of driving the states of each subsystem to a consensus value. We study the consensusability of linear interconnected MASs (LIMASs) where, as in sever ...

Review of control strategies for lower-limb exoskeletons to assist gait

Auke Ijspeert, Mohamed Bouri, Ali Reza Manzoori, Romain Pierre François Baud

Background Many lower-limb exoskeletons have been developed to assist gait, exhibiting a large range of control methods. The goal of this paper is to review and classify these control strategies, that determine how these devices interact with the user. Met ...

An untethered mechanically-intelligent inchworm robot powered by a shape memory alloy oscillator

Yves Perriard, Paolo Germano, Thomas Guillaume Martinez, Sean Thomas

Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) based actuators have become ideal candidates for use in compact and lightweight applications. These smart materials have often been referred to as artificial muscles due to their high work volume density. In this paper, a flexure-b ...

Whole Body Model Predictive Control with a Memory of Motion: Experiments on a Torque-Controlled Talos

Sylvain Calinon, Teguh Santoso Lembono, Rohan Budhiraja

This paper presents the first successful experiment implementing whole-body model predictive control with state feedback on a torque-control humanoid robot. We demonstrate that our control scheme is able to do whole-body target tracking, control the balanc ...

From human action understanding to robot action execution: how the physical properties of handled objects modulate non-verbal cues

Aude Billard, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis, Nuno Ricardo Ferreira Duarte, José Santos-Victor

Humans manage to communicate action intentions in a non-verbal way, through body posture and movement. We start from this observation to investigate how a robot can decode a human's non-verbal cues during the manipulation of an object, with specific physic ...

On Gaussian Process Based Koopman Operators

Colin Neil Jones

Enabling analysis of non-linear systems in linear form, the Koopman operator has been shown to be a powerful tool for system identification and controller design. However, current data-driven methods cannot provide quantification of model uncertainty given ...

A nonlinear model predictive control scheme for sensor fault tolerance in observation processes

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti

This article addresses the problem of designing a sensor fault-tolerant controller for an observation process where a primary, controlled system observes, through a set of measurements, an exogenous system to estimate the state of this system. We consider ...

Data-Driven Passivity-Based Current Controller Design for Power-Electronic Converters of Traction Systems

Alireza Karimi, Seyed Sohail Madani

In this paper, a data-driven method for controller design with constraints on the positive-realness of closed-loop transfer functions over an arbitrary set of frequencies is proposed. The positive-realness of a closed-loop transfer function is represented ...
