Estimating state-space models in innovations form using the expectation maximisation algorithm
The expectation maximisation (EM) algorithm has proven to be effective for a range of identification problems. Unfortunately, the way in which the EM algorithm has previously been ...

Application of potent potential functions in eye/head movement control
In this paper we study the human eye movement and the head movement system as a simple mechanical control system. Most of the time, eye movements obey Listing's constraint, wh...

Distance measures for linear systems with multiplicative and inverse multiplicative uncertainty characterisation
Abstract--Input multiplicative and output inverse multiplicative uncertainty characterisations are common in the robust control literature. We present specialised distance measures...

Underactuated control and distribution of multi-agent systems in stratified flow environments
The present paper shows how vertical actuation alone may be used to effectively control the spatial distribution of mobile vehicles ("balloons" in air, or "drifters&...

Robust comparative statics in large static games
We provide general comparative static results for large finite and infinite-dimensional aggregative games. In aggregative games, each player's payoff depends on her own action...

Advances in moving horizon estimation for nonlinear systems
In the past decade, moving horizon estimation (MHE) has emerged as a powerful technique for estimating the state of a dynamical system in the presence of nonlinearities and disturb...

Design and experimental implementation of a compliant hybrid zero dynamics controller for walking on MABEL
Abstract-- This paper extends the method of virtual constraints and hybrid zero dynamics, developed for rigid robots with a single degree of underactuation, to MABEL, a planar bipe...

Effect of network structure on the stability margin of large vehicle formation with distributed control
We study the problem of distributed control of a large network of double-integrator agents to maintain a rigid formation. A few lead vehicles are given information on the desired t...

Combining extremum seeking control and tracking control for high-performance CVT operation
The control design for the variator in a pushbelt continuously variable transmission (CVT) is investigated. The variator enables a stepless variation of the transmission ratio with...
