A scalar automotive electronic throttle body is simulated to demonstrate typical results. The controller structure is specified in a restricted structure form including a set of pre-specified linear transfer-functions and a vector of gains that are found to minimize a GPC cost-index. This approach enables a range of classical controller structures to be used in the feedback loop such as extended PI, PID or of a more general transfer-function form. The controller is introduced along with a dynamic cost-weighting tuning future. A simulation is used to validate the performance of the restricted structure controller for regulation and tracking problems assessed against automotive performance standards.","PeriodicalId":130891,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125821215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared with the traditional FPD, the new procedure is presented to deal with multiplicative noise and the system parameters are estimated online using linear optimisation methods. The performance index is characterised by the Kullback-Leibler divergence (KLD) distance. The generalised probabilistic control law is obtained by solving a generalised Riccatti equation that takes the multiplicative noise into consideration. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, a numerical example is given and the results are compared with the traditional FPD.","PeriodicalId":130891,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116230869","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many works on VIO start their algorithm from a static state or a rough initial guess since an accurate initial velocity and attitude are not available at the early stage. Our approach estimates a relative pose of consecutive camera frames from a stereo visual odometry (VO), then formulates least-square problems from the IMU preintegration and the pose constraint. This recovers the initial velocity, attitude with respect to the gravity, and biases of an IMU. Also, we build a framework in which a tightly-coupled filtering-based VIO is booted by the proposed initialization method. We show that the initial state can be estimated with a 6-DOF motion in the simulated environment. Also, our experimental results reveal that 5 seconds with 20 fps stereo images are enough to initialize the filtering-based VIO in the public MAV dataset.","PeriodicalId":130891,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 15th International Conference on Control and Automation (ICCA)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124688579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This result extends the recent paper [1] on formation shape stabilization from equilateral triangles to general triangles, with an almost global convergence from almost all initial conditions. We then consider a hierarchical formation system comprised of multiple triangular shapes, and prove almost global convergence of a shape control algorithm with appropriate gains.
