Sensor uncertainty can arise due to low sensor quality, sensor failure, or detrimental environmental conditions. For example, relatively cheap sensor suites are used for low-cost, small-scale unmanned vehicle applications that can result in inaccurate sensor measurements. Alternatively, sensor measurements can also be corrupted by malicious attacks if dynamical systems are controlled through large-scale, multilayered communication networks as is the case in cyber-physical systems. This paper presents several adaptive control architectures for stabilization of linear dynamical systems in the presence of sensor uncertainty and sensor attacks. Specifically, we propose new and novel adaptive controllers for state-independent and state-dependent sensor uncertainties. In particular, we show that the proposed controllers guarantee asymptotic stability of the closed-loop dynamical system when the sensor uncertainties are time-invariant and uniform ultimate boundedness when the uncertainties are time-varying. We further discuss the practicality of the proposed approaches and provide a numerical example to illustrate the efficacy of the proposed adaptive control architectures.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115700006","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}

In general, this requires the solution of a large set of linear matrix inequalities, leading to numerical issues and high computational cost. It has been recognized recently that semidefinite optimization problems (SDP) can be cast into second order cone programs (SOCP) by replacing the positive definiteness constraints with stronger, scaled diagonal dominance conditions. Since the scalability of SOCP solvers is much better than that of the SDPs, the new formulation allows solving large scale model reduction problems more efficiently. A numerical example is provided to demonstrate the efficiency of the approach.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132680911","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 flexibility allows the consideration of a variety of information cases like uncertain traffic/speed and route information, multiple possible destinations, stopping points, and charging locations, simple range estimates to the destination, and no future knowledge at all. The model can be used with any vehicle type and stochastic control method, and is suitable for real-time calculations either on the vehicle or a server.

By installing electrical devices on the turbocharger, the excess energy can be captured, stored, and re-used. The control of the energy flows in an electrified turbocharged diesel engine (ETDE) is still in its infancy. Developing a promising multi-input multi-output (MIMO) control strategy is essential in exploring the maximum benefits of electrified turbocharger. In this paper, the dynamics in an ETDE, especially the couplings among multiple loops in the air path are analyzed. Based on the analysis, a model-based MIMO decoupling control framework is designed to regulate the air path dynamics. The proposed control strategy can achieve fast and accurate tracking on selected control variables and is successfully validated on a physical model in simulations.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115096203","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}

Analogously, even though statically stable multi-wheeled robots are easier to control, they are energetically less efficient and have low accelerations to avoid tipping over. In contrast, the ballbot is an underactuated, nonholonomically constrained mobile robot, upward equilibrium point of whose body has to stabilized by active controls. In this work, we derive coordinate-invariant equations of motion for the ballbot. We present the linearized equations of motion followed by its controllability analysis. Excluding the rotary degree of freedom of the ball in the inertial vertical direction, the linear system turns out to be controllable. It follows that the nonlinear system is locally controllable and we provide a proportional-derivative type controller that locally exponentially stabilizes the upward equilibrium point as well as the translation of the ball. The basin of attraction turns out to be large in the simulation studies.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"135 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115215009","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}

It has been established that for uncertain continuous-time linear systems that depend affinely on the uncertainty, gain-scheduled stabilizability implies robust stabilizability. That is, as far as stabilizability is concerned, using a more complex gain-scheduled controller brings no advantage. In the case of performance and discrete-time systems, counter-examples exist that show that gain-scheduling can indeed be advantageous. These proof are unfortunately not constructive, and the associated necessary and sufficient conditions are hard to verify even in low dimensions. In practice, conditions based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) are widely used to design robust and gain scheduled controllers at the expense of some conservatism. The main goal of the present paper is to explore to what extent solvability of certain LMIs for gain-scheduled control also implies solvability of the corresponding robust control inequalities. One issue investigated in detail is that of using pre-filters to handle uncertainty appearing in the input matrix. Our results show that this technique, which has been used since the 80s is rarely productive in the sense that solvability of certain gain-scheduled control design problems for the original system augmented with a pre-filter often implies existence of a robust control for the original system, which we calculate explicitly using a projection. One exception seem to be the LMIs based on the condition of Daafouz and Bernussou (2001) for discrete-time systems. A series of examples illustrate the results.","PeriodicalId":137983,"journal":{"name":"2016 American Control Conference (ACC)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126455670","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}
