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.

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 (

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.

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 ...

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

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,

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 ...

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.

Optimal passive-damping design using a decentralized velocity-feedback H-Infinity approach [PDF]

Modeling, Identification and Control, 2012
In this work, a new strategy to design passive energy dissipation systems for vibration control of large structures is presented. The method is based on the equivalence between passive damping systems and fully decentralized static velocity-feedback ...
