Funnel Control for Linear DAEs [PDF]

PAMM, 2013
AbstractWe study funnel control for linear differential‐algebraic multi‐input multi‐output systems which are not necessarily regular. We show that the funnel controller (that is a static nonlinear output error feedback) achieves ‐ for a special class of right‐invertible systems with asymptotically stable zero dynamics ‐ tracking of a reference signal ...

Adaptive sliding mode disturbance observer–based funnel trajectory tracking control of quadrotor with external disturbances

IET Control Theory & Applications, 2021
This paper studies trajectory tracking control problem of quadrotor in the presence of external disturbances. A new control scheme integrating adaptive sliding mode disturbance observer (ASMDO) with backstepping funnel control is designed in both ...

Funnel control for Langevin dynamics

Automatica
We study tracking control for stochastic differential equations of Langevin type and describe a new conceptual approach to the sampling problem for those systems. The objective is to guarantee the evolution of the mean value in a prescribed performance funnel around a given sufficiently smooth reference signal.

Assessment of novel Lehmann’s funnel entry trap prototypes performance to control malaria mosquito populations

Malaria Journal, 2021
Background There is a global consensus that new intervention tools are needed for the final steps toward malaria elimination/eradication. In a recent study in Burkina Faso, the Lehmann Funnel Entry Trap (LFET) has shown promising results in the reduction

Path-Following through Control Funnel Functions [PDF]

2018 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2018
We present an approach to path following using so-called control funnel functions. Synthesizing controllers to "robustly" follow a reference trajectory is a fundamental problem for autonomous vehicles. Robustness, in this context, requires our controllers to handle a specified amount of deviation from the desired trajectory.

A Gaussian Process-Based Funnel MPC for Docking Control of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles by Learning Residual Dynamics

Drones
This paper presents a Gaussian Process (GP)-based Funnel Model Predictive Control (MPC) for docking control of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs). The control method employs a Gaussian Process regression to learn the residual dynamics, which compensates

Improved Funnel Control for Waterwheel Handling Robot Manipulators With Unknown Dead Zone

IEEE Access
In this paper, a waterwheel-handling robot based on funnel control was proposed for loading and unloading particles in docks and ports by optimizing the control method and modifying the controller.

Funnel control — A survey

Annual Reviews in Control
The methodology of funnel control was introduced in the early 2000s, and it has developed since then in many respects achieving a level of mathematical maturity balanced by practical applications. Its fundamental tenet is the attainment of prescribed transient and asymptotic behaviour for continuous-time controlled dynamical processes encompassing ...
