Sprawling Quadruped Robot Driven by Decentralized Control With Cross-Coupled Sensory Feedback Between Legs and Trunk [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021
Quadruped animals achieve agile and highly adaptive locomotion owing to the coordination between their legs and other body parts, such as the trunk, head, and tail, that is, body–limb coordination.

Flexible Coordination of Flexible Limbs: Decentralized Control Scheme for Inter- and Intra-Limb Coordination in Brittle Stars' Locomotion [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2019
Conventional mobile robots have difficulties adapting to unpredictable environments or performing adequately after undergoing physical damages in realtime operation, unlike animals.

A Point Prevalence Survey of Healthcare-Associated Infections and Antimicrobial Use in Public Acute Care Hospitals in Crete, Greece

Antibiotics, 2022
Background: Both healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial resistance are associated with an increased length of stay and hospital costs, while they have also been linked to high morbidity and mortality rates. In 2016 and 2017, the latest

Decentralized Collaborative Version Control [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Distributed Infrastructure for Common Good, 2021
Decentralized systems offer alternatives to Big Tech. However, maintaining availability and correctness despite faults and manipulations in decentralized settings is challenging. In this paper, we introduce a collaborative model that is capable of exposing all observable lying, all cheating, and all faults, while only requiring merely unreliable ...

Decentralized Multirate Control [PDF]

IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 1988
The objective of the study is to introduce a decentralized control approach to multirate linear systems. Each control channel is assigned a single sample rate, which provides simplicity in design of local controllers. This control strategy is natural for plants with widely different characteristic frequencies, and it is suitable for implementation ...

On the Use of a Block Analog of the Gerschgorin Circle-Theorem in the Design of Decentralized Control of a Class of Large-Scale Systems [PDF]

Modeling, Identification and Control, 1981
The paper deals with the design of decentralized control of interconnected dynamic systems. It is assumed that each subsystem has its own control input and that the interconnections are through the states of the other subsystems.

Overlapping Decentralized Control Strategies of Building Structures’ Vibration with Time Delay Based on H∞ Control Algorithms under Seismic Excitation

Shock and Vibration, 2021
A decentralized control strategy can effectively solve the control problem of the large-scale time delayed structures. In this paper, combining the overlapping decentralized control method, linear matrix inequality (LMI) method, and H∞ control algorithm,

Variable selection for decentralized control [PDF]

Modeling, Identification and Control, 1992
Decentralized controllers (single-loop controllers applied to multivariable plants) are often preferred in practice because they are robust and relatively simple to understand and to change. The design of such a control system starts with pairing inputs (

Centralised and decentralised configurations for panels with piezoelectric actuators [PDF]

, 2006
This paper discusses configurations for controlling broadband noise using piezoelectrically excited panels. The configurations can be distinguished by the physical layout and by the control structure.

Robustness Analysis of a Class of Decentralized Control Systems [PDF]

Modeling, Identification and Control, 1986
The paper presents a method for analysing the robustness properties of a class of decentralized control systems. Perturbations both in local and in interconnection parameters are dealt with. The method is based on the use of singular values.
