Distributed drive electric vehicles offer superior yaw moment control for autonomous drifting in extreme maneuvers. Conventional drift analysis constructs stability boundaries from open loop equilibria points and assumes a fixed envelope…
For systems that are not observable at the very equilibrium of interest to be stabilized, output-feedback stabilization is considerably challenging. In this paper we solve this control problem for the case-study of a second-order system…
We present a decentralized minimum-time trajectory optimization scheme based on learning model predictive control for multi-agent systems with nonlinear decoupled dynamics and coupled state constraints. By performing the same task…
Limitations of the delayed feedback control and of its extended versions have been fully treated in the literature. The oscillating delayed feedback control appears as a promising scheme to overcome this problem. In this work, two methods…
Motivated by the goal of having a building block in the direct design of data-driven controllers for nonlinear systems, we show how, for an unknown discrete-time bilinear system, the data collected in an offline open-loop experiment enable…
This paper presents a novel control design for vehicular formations, which is an alternative to the conventional second-order consensus protocol. The design is motivated by the closed-loop system, which we construct as first-order systems…
In this paper, we are concerned with the stabilization of linear port-Hamiltonian systems of arbitrary order $N \in \mathbb{N}$ on a bounded $1$-dimensional spatial domain $(a,b)$. In order to achieve stabilization, we couple the system to…
In this paper, we provide a decentralized optimal control framework for coordinating connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) in two interconnected intersections. We formulate a control problem and provide a solution that can be implemented…
Adaptive cruise control systems are fundamental components of the automation of the driving. At upper control level, ACC systems are based on car-following models determining the acceleration rate of a vehicle according to the distance gap…
This paper presents a controller design and optimization framework for nonlinear dynamic systems to track a given reference signal in the presence of disturbances when the task is repeated over a finite-time interval. This novel framework…
This work proposes a nonlinear model predictive control-based guidance strategy for unmanned surface vehicles, focused on path following. The application of this strategy, in addition to overcome drawbacks of previous line-of-sight-based…
For the autonomous operation of articulated vehicles at distribution centers, accurate positioning of the vehicle is of the utmost importance. Automation of these vehicle poses several challenges, e.g. large swept path, asymmetric steering…
This paper presents a safety-critical control framework to maintain bounded lateral motions for vehicles braking on asymmetric surfaces. We synthesize a brake controller that assists drivers and guarantees safety against excessive lateral…
This paper presents a framework for real-time optimal controlling of a heavy-duty skid-steered mobile platform for trajectory tracking. The importance of accurate real-time performance of the controller lies in safety considerations of…
We address the problem of coordinating online a continuous flow of connected and automated vehicles (CAVs) crossing two adjacent intersections in an urban area. We present a decentralized optimal control framework whose solution yields for…
In the present work, we consider nonlinear control systems for which there exist structural obstacles to the design of classical continuous backstepping feedback laws. We conceive feedback laws such that the origin of the closed-loop system…
We propose a continuous feedback control strategy that steers a point-mass vehicle safely to a desired destination, in a quasi-optimal manner, from almost all initial conditions in an n-dimensional Euclidean space cluttered with spherical…
This paper investigates a planar tracking problem between a leader and follower agent. We propose a novel feedback speed control law, paired with a constant bearing steering strategy, to maintain an abreast formation between the two agents.…
The rapid development of autonomous vehicles spurred a careful investigation of the potential benefits of all-autonomous transportation networks. Most studies conclude that autonomous systems can enable drastic improvements in performance.…
Sufficient and necessary conditions are established for controllability of affine control systems where the control is constrained to a set whose convex hull contains the origin but is not necessarily, in contrast with previously known…
