ABSTRACT Quadrupedal robots operating in unstructured environments require adaptive control systems that can handle diverse terrain conditions without prior surface characterization. This paper presents an integrated control architecture that combines Model Predictive Control (MPC) with adaptive impedance control and SINDy‐based model corrections for ...

Lyapunov function search method for analysis of nonlinear systems stability using genetic algorithm
A wide class of smooth continuous dynamic nonlinear systems (control objects) with a measurable state vector is considered. The problem of finding a special function (Lyapunov function), which guarantees asymptotic stability for the presented class of ...

Sliding Motions on Non‐Euclidean State Spaces: A Differential‐Geometric Perspective
ABSTRACT This paper extends sliding‐mode control theory to nonlinear systems evolving on smooth manifolds. Building on differential geometric methods, we reformulate Filippov's notion of solutions, characterize well‐defined vector fields on quotient spaces, and provide a consistent geometric definition of higher‐order sliding modes.

Observer Design for Vector Nonlinear Systems With Applications to Autonomous Vehicles and Robots
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on observer design for nonlinear systems involving functions of vector arguments. The output equations and the process dynamics are both composed of nonlinear functions of nonseparable multivariable states. The partial derivatives of the nonlinear functions are assumed to be bounded.

Privacy‐Preserving Data‐Driven Distributed MPC for Heterogeneous Nonlinear Multi‐Agent Systems
ABSTRACT Distributed model predictive control (DMPC) is a cornerstone for coordinating multi‐agent systems, yet simultaneously ensuring data privacy, handling unknown nonlinear dynamics, and managing heterogeneous constraints remains an open challenge.

Neural Network‐Based Runtime Monitoring and Control for Unknown Nonlinear Systems
ABSTRACT Real‐time system monitoring and stabilization become especially challenging when the system dynamics are unknown. This article introduces a novel design for monitoring and stabilizing unknown nonlinear systems with measurement noise. The design utilizes a generic modelling framework by decomposing the system into a known tunable linear ...

ABSTRACT Safety‐critical control remains a major challenge for four‐wheel independently steered and driven (4ISD) mobile robots, where high‐accuracy path tracking and obstacle avoidance must be achieved under over‐actuated steering–driving coordination, tire–ground friction limits, and wheel‐torque constraints.

Sliding Mode Control and Observation for Upper Limb Robotics Rehabilitation
ABSTRACT Stroke is a leading cause of upper limb motor impairments, which often require rehabilitation. General purpose robotic manipulators enable effective therapy through exercises such as Center Out Point‐to‐Point (CO‐PTP) and Teach‐and‐Track (TT), which respectively demand accurate estimation and rejection of the interaction force exerted by the ...
