Asymptotic tracking with funnel control [PDF]

open access: yesPAMM, 2019
AbstractFunnel control is a strikingly simple control technique to ensure model free practical tracking for quite general nonlinear systems. It has its origin in the adaptive control theory, in particular, it is based on the principle of high gain feedback control.

Mirror formation control in the vicinity of an asteroid [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Two strategies are presented for the positioning and control of a spacecraft formation designed to focus sunlight onto a point on the surface of asteroid, thereby sublimating the material and ejecting debris creating thrust.

Funnel Control Under Hard and Soft Output Constraints

open access: yes2022 IEEE 61st Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2022
This paper proposes a funnel control method under time-varying hard and soft output constraints. First, an online funnel planning scheme is designed that generates a constraint consistent funnel, which always respects hard (safety) constraints, and soft (performance) constraints are met only when they are not conflicting with the hard constraints. Next,

Mycobacterial cell division arrest and smooth‐to‐rough envelope transition using CRISPRi‐mediated genetic repression systems

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing and phenotypic exploration in nontuberculous mycobacteria. In this Research Protocol, we describe approaches to control, monitor, and quantitatively assess CRISPRI‐mediated gene silencing in M. smegmatis and M. abscessus model organisms.

Funnel Libraries for Real-Time Robust Feedback Motion Planning

open access: yes, 2017
We consider the problem of generating motion plans for a robot that are guaranteed to succeed despite uncertainty in the environment, parametric model uncertainty, and disturbances.

Fault-Tolerant Funnel Control for Uncertain Linear Systems [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2021
We study adaptive fault tolerant tracking control for uncertain linear systems. Based on recent results in funnel control and the time-varying Byrnes-Isidori form, we develop a low-complexity model-free controller which achieves prescribed performance of the tracking error for any given sufficiently smooth reference signal. Within the considered system

Air Pollution and the Risk and Progression of Multiple Sclerosis: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Air pollution has been linked to several neurological conditions, including stroke and neurodegenerative diseases. Evidence regarding its association with multiple sclerosis (MS) remains conflicting, limited by small sample sizes. Methods PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane controlled register of trials (CENTRAL) were searched on ...
