Formal safety guarantees on the synthesis of controllers for stochastic systems can be obtained using correct-by-design approaches. These approaches often use abstractions as finite-state Markov Decision Processes. As the state space of…
Motivated by the prevalence of non-smooth, possibly non-periodic signals in real-world applications, the output regulation of linear systems subject to non-smooth non-periodic exogenous signals has emerged as a challenging problem. A…
The commissioning of industrial electric drives still relies heavily on manual tuning of cascaded control loops, requiring expert knowledge and significant time. In this paper, we propose a fully automated approach for tuning the current…
We investigate the trade-off between controllability, channel access, and age-related performance in a wireless network of control systems. Controllers share a random-access channel to transmit control inputs to actuators over slotted…
This paper presents a proof-of-concept ultra-low voltage and ultra-low power chronoamperometric electrochemical sensor for non-enzymatic glucose readout integrated circuit (IC) in 130nm CMOS detection featuring a reconfigurable…
Risk fields offer spatially structured alternatives to scalar safety metrics. However, hand-crafted static risk field models struggle with occlusion and topology-driven propagation. We present DRIFT, a spatiotemporal risk field governed by…
Witsenhausen, in his seminal 1971 paper [1], introduced decentralized partially observable Markov decision problems (POMDPs), with multiple agents or controls operating under T-step delayed sharing information patterns. A fundamental…
Engineered infrastructure systems pose inverse problems in which hidden states, unknown parameters, and subsystem couplings must be inferred from sparse and noisy measurements. These problems are difficult because physical subsystems are…
This letter studies distributed stochastic optimization over a peer-to-peer network when agents can query only zeroth-order function values. We propose ZOOM-PB, a coordinate-sampling distributed zeroth-order method equipped with a…
Starlink, as a representative low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite broadband system, makes high-bitrate video streaming possible in regions where terrestrial broadband is unavailable. However, its access links exhibit rapid throughput…
Ensuring scalable input-to-state stability (sISS) is critical for the safety and reliability of large-scale interconnected systems, especially in the presence of communication delays. While learning-based controllers can achieve strong…
Compliance with maritime traffic rules is essential for the safe operation of autonomous vessels, yet training reinforcement learning (RL) agents to adhere to them is challenging. The behavior of RL agents is shaped by the training…
This paper explores stability properties of periodic solutions of (nonlinear) fractional-order differential equations (FODEs). As classical Caputo-type FODEs do not admit exactly periodic solutions, we propose a framework of…
We present linrax, the first simplex based linear program (LP) solver compatible with the JAX ecosystem. In many control algorithms, LPs are often automatically generated and frequently solved either offline or online in the control loop.…
This paper presents a novel distributed model predictive control (MPC) formulation without terminal cost and a corresponding distributed synthesis approach for distributed linear discrete-time systems with coupled constraints. The proposed…
Unloading containers in the courier, express and parcel industry is a physically demanding and labor-intensive work. Automatizing this process is an important step towards increasing the efficiency of parcel-handling systems. This work…
The electrification of long-haul freight transport introduces several new challenges, such as the limited capacity and congestion at en-route charging infrastructure. To reduce waiting times during peak periods, this paper proposes a…
This paper studies how to balance onboard and ground computation under intermittent LEO connectivity for optimized inference freshness. As connectivity varies in time, the system switches among the actions of onboard computation, cached…
Modern energy systems in vehicles and built infrastructure are governed by high-dimensional dynamics spanning multiple physical domains (e.g., electrical, thermal, mechanical) and timescales. This tutorial paper presents a graph-based…
To support the adoption of electric transport systems, public charging opportunities are becoming increasingly important. In this dynamic environment, a central challenge for route planning and charging scheduling is forecasting…
