— In this paper we study the problem of stabilizing a networked control system (NCS) composed of N linear dynamical subplants and an equal number of controllers acting over a sha...
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&...
Force control implemented by a passive mechanical device (perhaps a wrist) has inherent advantages over active implementations. A passive mechanical device can regain some of the ...
Given an arbitrary Petri net (PN) structure, which may have uncontrollable and unobservable transitions, the deadlock prevention procedure presented here determines a set of linear...

We consider a class of linear flexible mechanical systems arising from the dynamics of animal locomotion. A distinctive property of such systems is that the stiffness matrix is asy...
