Identifying and controlling an unstable, underactuated robot to enable reference tracking is a challenging control problem. In this paper, a ballbot (robot balancing on a ball) is used as an experimental setup to demonstrate and test…
This paper presents a robust controller using a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model of the lane-keeping system with parameter reduction. Both varying vehicle speed and roll motion on a curved road influence the lateral vehicle model…
The task of inducing, via continuous static state-feedback control, an asymptotically stable heteroclinic orbit in a nonlinear control system is considered in this paper. The main motivation comes from the problem of ensuring convergence to…
In this paper, a systematic approach is developed to embed the dynamical description of a nonlinear system into a linear parameter-varying (LPV) system representation. Initially, the nonlinear functions in the model representation are…
The Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) framework has been introduced with the intention to provide stability and performance guarantees for analysis and controller synthesis for Nonlinear (NL) systems via convex methods. By extending results of…
By means of the linear parameter-varying (LPV) Fundamental Lemma, we derive novel data-driven predictive control (DPC) methods for LPV systems. In particular, we present output-feedback and state-feedback-based LPV-DPC methods with terminal…
This paper presents a systematic approach to nonlinear state-feedback control design that has three main advantages: (i) it ensures exponential stability and $ \mathcal{L}_2 $-gain performance with respect to a user-defined set of reference…
Dynamical models identified from data are frequently employed in control system design. However, decoupling system identification from controller synthesis can result in situations where no suitable controller exists after a model has been…
The Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) framework has long been used to guarantee performance and stability requirements of nonlinear (NL) systems mainly through the $\mathcal{L}_2$-gain concept. However, recent research has pointed out that…
In this paper, we consider the analysis and control of continuous-time nonlinear systems to ensure universal shifted stability and performance, i.e., stability and performance w.r.t. each forced equilibrium point of the system. This…
Robots must satisfy safety-critical state and input constraints despite disturbances and model mismatch. We introduce a robust model predictive control (RMPC) formulation that is fast, scalable, and compatible with real-time implementation.…
This paper aims for a controller that can stabilize a position-controlled humanoid robot when standing still or walking on synthetic grass even when subjected to external disturbances. Two types of controllers are designed and implemented:…

This paper investigates the design of a robust output-feedback linear parameter-varying (LPV) gain-scheduled controller for the speed regulation of a surface permanent magnet synchronous motor (SPMSM). Motor dynamics is defined in the…
This article presents a state feedback control design strategy for the stabilization of a vehicle along a reference collision avoidance maneuver. The stabilization of the vehicle is achieved through a combination of steering, acceleration…
A rotorcraft-based unmanned aerial vehicle exhibits more complex properties compared to its full-size counterparts due to its increased sensitivity to control inputs and disturbances and higher bandwidth of its dynamics. As an aerial…
In this paper we consider the problem of allowing a humanoid robot that is subject to a persistent disturbance, in the form of a payload-carrying task, to follow given planned footsteps. To solve this problem, we combine an online nonlinear…
This paper introduces the concept of parameter-dependent (PD) control Lyapunov functions (CLFs) for gain-scheduled stabilization of nonlinear parameter-varying (NPV) systems. It shows that given a PD-CLF, a min-norm control law can be…
This paper presents a novel model predictive control (MPC) formulation for set-point tracking. Stabilizing predictive controllers based on terminal ingredients may exhibit stability and feasibility issues in the event of a reference change…
In this paper, we propose a novel dynamic state-feedback controller for polytopic linear parameter-varying (LPV) systems with constant input matrix. The controller employs a projected gradient flow method to continuously improve its control…
