Multi-agent coverage control is used as a mechanism to influence the behavior of a group of robots by introducing time-varying domain. The coverage optimization problem is modified to adopt time-varying domains, and the proposed control law…

We consider a control problem involving several agents coupled through multiple unit-demand resources. Such resources are indivisible, and each agent's consumption is modeled as a Bernoulli random variable. Controlling the number of such…
We study the fluctuation-activated transition process in a system of two coupled bistable oscillators, in which each oscillator is driven by one constant force and an independent Gaussian white noise. The transition pathway has been…
Quadruped robots have strong adaptability to extreme environments but may also experience faults. Once these faults occur, robots must be repaired before returning to the task, reducing their practical feasibility. One prevalent concern…

Artificial time delay controller was conceptualised for nonlinear systems to reduce dependency on precise system modelling unlike the conventional adaptive and robust control strategies. In this approach unknown dynamics is compensated by…
Broadcast control is one of decentralized control methods for networked multi-agent systems. In this method, each agent does not communicate with the others, and autonomously determines its own action using only the same signal sent from a…
In this paper we solve two equivalent time optimal control problems. On one hand, we design the control field to implement in minimum time the SWAP (or equivalent) operator on a two-level system, assuming that it interacts with an…
Reactive control is often considered insufficient for multi-objective tasks because conflicting objectives give rise to local minima. We argue this limitation is not inherent but arises from static encodings that fail to reflect how…
Our ability to control network dynamical systems is often hindered by constraints on the number and nature of the available control actions, which make controlling the whole network unfeasible. In this manuscript, we focus on the case where…
We consider the $F$-equivalence problem for parabolic systems: under which conditions a control system, governed by a parabolic operator $A$ and a control operator $B$, can be made equivalent to an exponentially stable system with…
We study the simultaneous control of an ensemble of springs with different frequencies by means of adiabatic, shortcut to adiabaticity and optimal processes. The linearity of the system allows us to derive analytical expressions for the…
Many cyber-physical systems can naturally be formulated as switched systems with constrained switching. This includes systems where one of the signals in the feedback loop may be lost. Possible sources for losses are shared or unreliable…
This paper proposes an optimal control problem for a parabolic equation with a nonlocal nonlinearity. The system is described by a parabolic equation involving a nonlinear term that depends on the solution and its integral over the domain.…
