The trade-off is accomplishable due to flexibility and online reconfigurability of the LPV control method by online modification of scheduling variables. The design is based on the performance index, road profile, and the designed velocity of the velocity. The velocity designer, velocity tracking controller, and adaptive suspension controller have been integrated and simulated in the TruckSim environment to show the operation of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":354557,"journal":{"name":"2022 30th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation (MED)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134471033","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}

Therefore, attack detection mechanisms are employed in cyber-physical control systems to detect ongoing attacks, the most prominent one being a threshold-based anomaly detection method called CUSUM. Literature defines the maximum impact of stealth attacks as the maximum deviation in the plant’s state that an undetectable attack can introduce, and formulates it as an optimization problem. This paper proposes an optimization-based attack with different saturation models, and it investigates how the attack duration significantly affects the impact of the attack on the state of the plant. We show that more dangerous attacks can be discovered when allowing saturation of the control system actuators. The proposed approach is compared with the geometric attack, showing how longer attack durations can lead to a greater impact of the attack while keeping the attack stealthy.","PeriodicalId":354557,"journal":{"name":"2022 30th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation (MED)","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121237918","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}

Then, we address the tracking control problem of the telescopic quadrotor under external additive disturbances (e.g., wind), following the disturbance observer based control approach. The control scheme consists in an inner/outer loop structure, where both loops interact with a nonlinear disturbance observer. Closed loop performances are analyzed and the control scheme is validated through a realistic numerical simulation.","PeriodicalId":354557,"journal":{"name":"2022 30th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation (MED)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116306070","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}

A proportional-derivative (PD) controller is formulated to regulate robot end-effector commanded accelerations and to deal with the noisy and low-frequency human information. The system is integrated in the robot operating system (ROS) and a Universal Robots UR3 cobot is used for the evaluation. The results show that the PD controller achieves a superior performance in terms of both tracking accuracy and robot motion smoothness compared to using a proportional controller which regulates the commanded velocities. Furthermore, the same gains of the PD controller can be used to handle a wider range of human speeds. Finally, we provide real-time demonstrations of the system and the ROS pipeline.","PeriodicalId":354557,"journal":{"name":"2022 30th Mediterranean Conference on Control and Automation (MED)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116204125","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}
