Anthropomimetic Control Synthesis: Adaptive Vehicle Traction Control
… longitudinal acceleration to throttle input in a controlled laboratory environment. In fact, human experts have the ability to control a vehicle at or near the performance limits, with respect to vehicle traction, without direct knowledge of the vehicle states; speed, slip or tractive force. …

Safe Nonlinear Control Under Control Constraints via Reachability, Optimal Control and Reinforcement Learning
… complicates the task of designing stabilizing controllers that can guarantee safety, which we denote as the stabilize-avoid problem. Existing control-based techniques can provide safety and stability guarantees but under the assumption of unbounded control inputs. On the other hand, …

The Limits of Self-Control: Self-Control, Illusory Control, and Risky Financial Decision Making
Can high self-control have drawbacks? Extensive research has shown the lifelong benefits of self-control for important outcomes such as education, health, income, and happiness. Far less work has been done on its potential negative impacts, where an overwhelmingly positive trait can end up having a …

Online position control system using incremental fuzzy control
In the field of fuzzy control theory, fuzzy logic controllers is one of the most active research areas and are particularly useful in controlling various types of physical processes. Therefore, this project also involved in usage of the fuzzy logic controller. Main objective of this project is to …

Spacecraft nonlinear attitude control with bounded control input
The research in this thesis deals with nonlinear control of spacecraft attitude stabilization and tracking manoeuvres and addresses the issue of control toque saturation on a priori basis. The cascaded structure of spacecraft attitude kinematics and dynamics makes the method of integrator …

Executive control: an electrophysiological investigation of control processes
… and monitoring of behaviour is termed ‘control’ and refers to a set of functions that serve to configure the mental system for performing specific acts. A system of cognitive control is thought to set high level goals and direct subordinate cognitive systems in order to accomplish those …

Digital control system programming from process control diagrams
A graphical process control language has been developed as a means of defining process control software. The user configures a block diagram describing the required control system, from a menu of functional blocks, using a graphics software system with graphics terminal. Additions may be made to …

Optimal control co-design of attitude control systems
Attitude control is the process of orienting a spacecraft toward a desired point in space. Conventional systems for attitude control have been designed without considering the compliant response of the spacecraft. This leads to complex control algorithms that avoid exciting vibrational modes of the …

Verifiable Adaptive Control Solutions for Flight Control Applications
… theoretical problems relevant to flight control for aerial vehicles and weapons in highly uncertain dynamical environment. The approach taken in this dissertation is the L1 adaptive control, which is elaborated from its design perspective for output feedback solution and is extended to …

The Minimax control chart for multivariate quality control
A new multicharacteristic control chart designed to detect shifts in the mean of a multivariate process is proposed. It is assumed that the correlation matrix is known and that the distribution of the data is multivariate normal. The new chart is based on the minimum standardized sample mean …

Internal Control
This paper is concerned about the internal control. The internal control can be viewed as a management mechanism to help the managers to accomplish the organization’s goals and objectives. It also gives a reasonable assurance that the reporting information is adequate, reliable, and timely, as well …

Circumventing Control
… two contrasting impulses: a habitual desire to control my internal and external environments, and an instinctive need to overcome these constraints. The discoveries I have made in the studio have fostered my desire to confront anxiety and make critical decisions in the face of uncertain …

Impulse-control or impulse and control? Is impulse-control one, two, or more constructs? Development of domain specific impulse-control (DSIC) measure
Impulse control is a well-established predictor of important life outcomes, including health, academic performance, and workplace success. However, traditional measures often conflate distinct psychological processes by failing to distinguish between the urge to act (impulse) and the ability to …
