Sliding Motions on Non‐Euclidean State Spaces: A Differential‐Geometric Perspective
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.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.

Privacy‐Preserving Data‐Driven Distributed MPC for Heterogeneous Nonlinear Multi‐Agent Systems
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.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.

International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.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
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.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 ...

Positive realness and Lyapunov functions for switched behaviors
, 2012 We define a switched behavioral system as a finite bank of linear differential behaviors, together with some gluing conditions relating the system variables and their derivatives before and after each switching instant.

Impulsive Thruster Control for Spacecraft Docking: A Lyapunov Approach
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.ABSTRACT In this work, we propose a novel discontinuous impulsive controller for nonlinear systems that admit continuous‐time stabilizing controllers. Specifically, we develop a technique for generating discrete control pulses of short duration based on the Lyapunov candidate function associated with a continuous‐time controller. Our method uses a real‐

The role of identification in data‐driven policy iteration: A system theoretic study
International Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.Abstract The goal of this article is to study fundamental mechanisms behind so‐called indirect and direct data‐driven control for unknown systems. Specifically, we consider policy iteration applied to the linear quadratic regulator problem. Two iterative procedures, where data collected from the system are repeatedly used to compute new estimates of ...

Formation Control With Obstacle Avoidance of Underwater Swarms Based on Relative Visual Feedback
Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Underwater multi‐robot and swarm systems require advanced methodologies for controlling collective behavior. Conventional single‐robot techniques, such as tethering, sonar imaging, and acoustic localization, are not scalable or effective for swarm applications.
