A generalisation of the nonlinear small-gain theorem for systems with abstract initial conditions

open access: yes, 2013
We consider the development of a general nonlinear small-gain theorem for systems with abstract initial conditions. Systems are defined in a set theoretic manner from input-output pairs on a doubly infinite time axis, and a general construction of the ...

Derivative-free Nonlinear Kalman Filtering for MIMO Dynamical Systems: Applications to Multi-DOF Robotic Manipulators

open access: yesInternational Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2011
The paper proposes derivative-free nonlinear Kalman Filtering for MIMO nonlinear dynamical systems. The considered nonlinear filtering scheme which is based on differential flatness theory extends the class of systems to which Kalman Filtering can be ...

Review of Thermally Activated Twisted Coiled Polymer Actuators: A Materials Science Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally activated twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) combine lightweight design, large deformation, and scalable fabrication for soft robotic and wearable applications. This review connects polymer structure, processing history, helix geometry, and thermomechanical characterization to actuator performance, highlighting current challenges in

Nonlinear dynamics of networks : the groupoid formalism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
A formal theory of symmetries of networks of coupled dynamical systems, stated in terms of the group of permutations of the nodes that preserve the network topology, has existed for some time. Global network symmetries impose strong constraints on the

Shaping Matter with Acoustic Waves: From Particles to Functional Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Acoustic‐directed assembly is reviewed as a materials‐oriented strategy for organizing particles, polymers, metals, and biological systems into functional structures. The review distinguishes reversible manipulation from permanent structure formation through medium fixation, particle fixation, and in situ material generation, highlighting routes toward

A general formulation for fault detection in stochastic continuous-time dynamical systems

open access: yes, 2008
In this work, a general formulation for fault detection in stochastic continuoustime dynamical systems is presented. This formulation is based on the definition of a pre-Hilbert space so that orthogonal projection techniques, based on the statistics of ...
