In this paper, a new framework for the tracking of closed curves is described. The proposed approach, formalized through an optimal control technique, enables a continuous trackin...
In this paper the control of exible joint manipulators is studied in detail. The model of N{axis exible joint manipulators are derived and reformulated in the form of singular per...
This paper presents a method for enlarging the domain of attraction of nonlinear model predictive control (MPC). The usual way of guaranteeing stability of nonlinear MPC is to add...
In this paper, we investigate the problem of designing a switching compensator for a plant switching amongst a (finite) family of given configurations (Ai,Bi,Ci). We assume that...
A Riemannian-geometry approach for control and stabilization of dynamics of object manipulation under holonomic or non-holonomic (but Pfaffian) constraints is presented. First, pos...
