A Closest Point Algorithm for Parametric Surfaces with Global Uniform Asymptotic Stability
— We present an algorithm that determines the point on a convex parametric surface patch that is closest to a given (possibly moving) point. Any initial point belonging to the su...

Non-uniform small-gain theorems for systems with unstable invariant sets
— We consider the problem of small-gain analysis of asymptotic behavior in interconnected nonlinear dynamic systems. Mathematical models of these systems are allowed to be uncert...

Design of Asymptotically Stable Walking for a 5-Link Planar Biped Walker via Optimization
— Closed-loop, asymptotically stable walking motions are designed for a 5-link, planar bipedal robot model with one degree of underactuation. Parameter optimization is applied to...

Sliding mode formation tracking control of a tractor and trailer-car system
— In this paper a new leader-follower formation of nonholonomic mobile robots is studied. The follower is a car-like vehicle and the leader is a tractor pulling a trailer. The le...

A systematic approach to plant-wide control based on thermodynamics
In this work, a systematic approach to plant-wide control design is proposed. The method combines ingredients from process networks, thermodynamics and systems theory to derive ro...
