Control Design Based on Generalized Lur'e Lyapunov Functions for Sampled‐Data Lur'e Systems

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article addresses the synthesis of stabilizing control laws for aperiodic sampled‐data Lur'e systems. Based on a hybrid system representation of the closed‐loop system and a timer‐dependent generalized Lur'e–Postnikov type Lyapunov function, stabilization conditions are obtained by separating decision variables with the application of two

Input–Output Finite‐Time Stability and Stabilization of Nonautonomous Nonlinear Quadratic Systems via State and Output Feedback

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents novel results regarding the input–output finite‐time stability (IO‐FTS) of nonlinear quadratic systems (NLQSs), a class of dynamical models particularly useful for the study of robotic systems, biochemical reaction networks, and other processes of interest to the applied sciences.

Exact Robust Filtering and Differentiation Based on Sliding Modes and Homogeneity

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article addresses the problem of online estimation of the derivatives of a signal corrupted by measurement noise. The measured signal is modeled as the sum of a smooth nominal component and a uniformly bounded noise term. A key objective is to attenuate the effect of high‐frequency noise.

High‐Order Sliding‐Mode control for MIMO Systems

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper extends Lyapunov‐based homogeneous high‐order sliding‐mode control to a class of uncertain non‐square multi‐input multi‐output (MIMO) nonlinear systems with a well‐defined vector relative degree. The considered systems admit a normal‐form representation with an uncertain but full‐row‐rank input‐gain matrix.

Multi‐Objective Bayesian Co‐Optimization of Parameterized Moving Horizon Estimation and Model Predictive Control

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a Machine Learning (ML)‐enabled estimator‐controller design framework, in which a parameterized Model Predictive Controller (MPC) and a parameterized Moving Horizon Estimator (MHE) are jointly refined using Bayesian Optimization (BO).

Nonlinear Receding‐Horizon Differential Game for Drone Racing Along a Three‐Dimensional Path

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drone racing requires high‐speed navigation through three‐dimensional paths, posing significant challenges in control engineering. Existing control methods lack a feedback control framework that simultaneously addresses nonlinear drone dynamics and multi‐agent competitive interactions, such as overtaking or obstructing opponents.

Validation of Neural Network Controllers for Uncertain Systems Using the Keep‐Close Approach: Robustness Analysis and Safety Verification

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The safety verification of neural network (NN) controllers operating in uncertain environments characterized by unmodeled dynamics, nonlinearities, and time delays remains a fundamental challenge in robust control analysis. This article introduces a novel method, termed Keep‐Close, for analyzing the performance and robustness of uncertain ...

Sliding Motions on Non‐Euclidean State Spaces: A Differential‐Geometric Perspective

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper extends sliding‐mode control theory to nonlinear systems evolving on smooth manifolds. Building on differential geometric methods, we reformulate Filippov's notion of solutions, characterize well‐defined vector fields on quotient spaces, and provide a consistent geometric definition of higher‐order sliding modes.

Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Autonomous Decision‐Making for Cooperative Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles: A Search and Rescue Real World Application

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the first end‐to‐end framework that combines guidance, navigation, and centralized task allocation for multiple UAVs performing autonomous search‐and‐rescue (SAR) in GNSS‐denied indoor environments. A twin delayed deep deterministic policy gradient controller is trained with an artificial potential field (APF) reward that ...
