Optimal Control of Mechanical Systems [PDF]
In the present work, we consider a class of nonlinear optimal control problems, which can be called “optimal control problems in mechanics.” We deal with control systems whose dynamics can be described by a system of Euler-Lagrange or Hamilton equations.

Local-To-Global Hypotheses for Robust Robot Localization
Many robust state-of-the-art localization methods rely on pose-space sample sets that are evaluated against individual sensor measurements. While these methods can work effectively, they often provide limited mechanisms to control the amount of ...

Assessment of Impact Energy Harvesting in Composite Beams with Piezoelectric Transducers
Piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) is studied in the case of a low-velocity impact of a rigid mass on a composite beam. A methodology is outlined, encompassing modelling of the open-circuit impact response in a finite element (FE) package, formulation

Control of Interconnected Mechanical Systems [PDF]
In this paper control systems design approach, based on siding mode methods, that allows maintain some functional relation - like bilateral or multilateral systems, establishment of virtual relation among mobile robots or control of haptic systems - is presented.

Evaluation of Linearization Methods for Control of the Pendubot
The aim of this paper is to test the usefulness of a new approach based on partial feedback linearization to control the Pendubot. The control problem stated in the article is to stabilize the Pendubot in the upright position.

Improved Data Association of Hypothesis-Based Trackers Using Fast and Robust Object Initialization
The tracking of Vulnerable Road Users (VRU) is one of the vital tasks of autonomous cars. This includes estimating the positions and velocities of VRUs surrounding a car.

Configuration Controllability of Simple Mechanical Control Systems [PDF]
The paper presents a thorough discussion of the configuration controllability of mechanical systems with the common Lagrangian \(L= {1\over 2}T- V\). The new controllability test is expressed in terms of the symmetric product \(\nabla_XY+ \nabla_YX\) of two vector fields.

A gas power engine is expected to output work or power through cycle, and the work is expected as much as possible in terms of viewpoints of a unit fuel, a unit volume of an engine, or a unit displaced volume of an engine. Evaluation of gas power engines
