Unknown nonlinear dynamics can limit the performance of model-based feedforward control. The aim of this paper is to develop a feedforward control framework for systems with unknown, typically nonlinear, dynamics. To address the unknown…
The coordination of robotic swarms and the remote wireless control of industrial systems are among the major use cases for 5G and beyond systems: in these cases, the massive amounts of sensory information that needs to be shared over the…

The main objective of tracking control is to steer the tracking error, that is the difference between the reference and the output, to zero while the plant's operation limits are satisfied. This requires that some assumptions on the…
We study tracking control for a nonlinear moving water tank system modelled by the linearized Saint-Venant equations, where the output is given by the position of the tank and the control input is the force acting on it. For a given…
We consider a networked control system (NCS) consisting of two plants, a global plant and a local plant, and two controllers, a global controller and a local controller. The global (resp. local) plant follows discrete-time stochastically…
The purpose of this note is to establish a connection between the problem of reliability (when there is an intermittent control-input channel failure that may occur between actuators, controllers and/or sensors in the system) and the notion…

There has been substantial progress recently in understanding toy problems of purely implicit signaling. These are problems where the source and the channel are implicit -- the message is generated endogenously by the system, and the plant…

In order to survive, reproduce and (in multicellular organisms) differentiate, cells must control the concentrations of the myriad different proteins that are encoded in the genome. The precision of this control is limited by the inevitable…

Stability and control of a non-linear system represent an important system configuration that frequently arises in practical engineering. Stability covers a vast range of systems that do not obey the superposition principle and applies to…
