We consider the problem of vehicle following, where a safety distance to the leader vehicle is guaranteed at all times and a favourite velocity is reached as far as possible. We introduce the funnel cruise controller as a novel universal adaptive cruise control mechanism which is model-free and achieves the aforementioned control objectives.

Operator-Based Nonlinear Control for a Miniature Flexible Actuator Using the Funnel Control Method
Recently, the studies of soft actuators have been getting increased attention among various fields. Soft actuators are very safe for fragile objects and have an affinity to humans because they are composed of flexible materials.

Performance funnels and tracking control [PDF]
Tracking of an absolutely continuous reference signal (assumed bounded with essentially bounded derivative) is considered in the context of a class of non-linear, single-input, single-output, dynamical systems modelled by functional differential equations satisfying certain structural hypotheses (which, interpreted in the highly specialised case of ...

Investigations on Integrated Funnel, Fan and Diffuser Augmented Unique Wind Turbine to Enhance the Wind Speed [PDF]
Wind energy is an alternative future energy to fossil fuels since it is abundant and green energy. As a result, high performance unique design is proposed that has a diffuser augmented wind turbine including intake funnel with guide vanes, natural fan ...

The bang-bang funnel controller [PDF]
A bang-bang controller is proposed which is able to ensure reference signal tracking with prespecified time-varying error bounds (the funnel) for nonlinear systems with relative degree one or two. For the design of the controller only the knowledge of the relative degree is needed.

Asymptotic Tracking via Funnel Control [PDF]
Funnel control is a powerful and simple method to solve the output tracking problem without the need of a good system model, without identification and without knowlegde how the reference signal is produced, but transient behavior as well as arbitrary good accuracy can be guaranteed.

Observation of electro-activated localized structures in broad area VCSELs [PDF]
We demonstrate experimentally the electro-activation of a localized optical structure in a coherently driven broad-area vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) operated below threshold.
