Direct Measurement of Explosive Impulse From Contact to the Ultra‐Near Field
ABSTRACT Measurement of impulse from explosive charges in contact and ultra‐near‐field regimes remains poorly characterised due to the short duration of loading, high strain rates, and the difficulty of obtaining direct momentum‐based measurements.

A single input single output formulation for yaw rate and sideslip angle control via torque-vectoring [PDF]
Many torque-vectoring controllers are based on the concurrent control of yaw rate and sideslip angle through complex multi-variable control structures. In general, the target is to continuously track a reference yaw rate, and constrain the sideslip angle

Sliding Mode Control in Aerospace Applications: A Survey
ABSTRACT Sliding mode control (SMC) enjoys robustness to matched and unmatched (in the case of minimum phase input‐output dynamics) bounded perturbations, and finite time convergence. Second‐order and higher‐order sliding mode control systems (2‐SMC/HOSMC) retain all the advantages of sliding mode control, but in addition can be applied to systems of ...

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 ...

Clinical periodontal diagnosis
Abstract Periodontal diseases include pathological conditions elicited by the presence of bacterial biofilms leading to a host response. In the diagnostic process, clinical signs such as bleeding on probing, development of periodontal pockets and gingival recessions, furcation involvement and presence of radiographic bone loss should be assessed prior ...

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.

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.

Impulsive Thruster Control for Spacecraft Docking: A Lyapunov Approach
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‐
