ADAPTIVE CONTROL DESIGN FOR QUADROTORS
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) control has become a very important point of scientific study. The control design challenges of a UAV make it one of the most researched areas in modern control applications. This thesis specifically chooses the Quadrotor as the UAV platform. Considering the quadrotor …

Control Design for an Inertially Stabilized Rifle
… to combat stressors can be achieved through the design and implementation of a active stabilization system for small arms weapons. The INSTAR system is an innovative active stabilization system designed to decouple the shooter's disturbance effects from the barrel movement. The INSTAR system uses …

A Polynomial Chaos Approach to Control Design
A method utilizing H2 control concepts and the numerical method of Polynomial Chaos was developed in order to create a novel robust probabilistically optimal control approach. This method was created for the practical reason that uncertainty in parameters tends to be inherent in system models. As …

Advances in combined architecture, plant, and control design
… of many engineering systems relies on novel design methodologies, design formulations, design representations, and other advancements. In this dissertation, we consider three broad design domains: architecture, plant, and control. These domains cover most of the potential design decision …

Systematic adaptive control design using sequential loop closure
… of synthesizing an output feedback adaptive controller for a class of uncertain, non-square multi-input/multi-output systems. The control design process consists of first designing an inner-loop controller for a reduced order plant model to enforce command tracking of selected inner-loop …

Improving information flow control design with security contexts
… context, which enables complex information flow control schemes to be written in Ruby without modification to the virtual machine. Security contexts are Ruby objects that act as transparent proxies and can be attached to other objects, allowing them to seamlessly modify parameters and return …

Dynamic Neural Network-based Adaptive Inverse Optimal Control Design
… (DNN) model based adaptive inverse optimal control design for a class of nonlinear systems. A DNN structure is developed and stabilized based on a control Lyapunov function (CLF). The CLF must satisfy the partial Hamilton Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation to solve the cost function in order to …

Optimization based control design techniques for distributed parameter systems
"The study presents optimization based control design techniques for the systems that are governed by partial differential equations. A control technique is developed for systems that are actuated at the boundary. The principles of dynamic inversion and constrained optimization theory are used to …

Integrated plant and control design for vehicle-environment interaction
… respect to the environment is accomplished in a controlled manner. The interaction between the vehicle and its environment or terrain acts as a disturbance to the controller attempting to position the subsystem. To obtain accurate and highly productive operation, the VEI system under control is …
