Controlling nonlinear systems, especially when data are being used to offset uncertainties in the model, is hard. A natural approach when dealing with the challenges of nonlinear control is to reduce the system to a linear one via change of…
The control system in surgical robots must ensure patient safety and real time control. As such, all the uncertainties which could appear should be considered into an extended model of the plant. After such an uncertain plant is formed, an…
We take a unified view of network coding and decentralized control. Precisely speaking, we consider both as linear time-invariant systems by appropriately restricting channels and coding schemes of network coding to be linear…

A control system consists of a plant component and a controller which periodically computes a control input for the plant. We consider systems where the controller is implemented by a feedforward neural network with ReLU activations. The…
Control systems over networks with a finite data rate can be conveniently modeled as hybrid (impulsive) systems. For the class of nonlinear systems in feedfoward form, we design a hybrid controller which guarantees stability, in spite of…
`Trackability', the ability of systems to follow arbitrary reference commands, is investigated in this work. Controllability is not useful in explaining the tracking behavior of system outputs, a gap that is often overlooked. Trackability…
In this article, we consider transport networks with uncertain demands. Network dynamics are given by linear hyperbolic partial differential equations and suitable coupling conditions, while demands are incorporated as solutions to…
In this paper, we present a data-driven output feedback controller for nonlinear systems that achieves practical output regulation, using noise-free input/output measurement data. The proposed controller is based on (i) an inverse model of…
We study networked control of non-linear systems where system states and tentative plant input sequences are transmitted over unreliable communication channels. The sequences are calculated recursively by using a pre-designed nominally…
Control of complex processes is a major goal of network analyses. Most approaches to control nonlinearly coupled systems require the network topology and/or network dynamics. Unfortunately, neither the full set of participating nodes nor…

This paper is about output-feedback control problems for general linear systems in the presence of given state-, control-, disturbance-, and measurement error constraints. Because the traditional separation theorem in stochastic control is…
