RGB-D terrain perception and dense mapping for legged robots
This paper addresses the issues of unstructured terrain modeling for the purpose of navigation with legged robots. We present an improved elevation grid concept adopted to the specific requirements of a small legged robot with limited perceptual capabilities. We propose an extension of the elevation grid update mechanism by incorporating a formal treatment of the spatial uncertainty. Moreover, this paper presents uncertainty models for a structured light RGB-D sensor and a stereo vision camera used...

Robust and nonrobust tracking
For zero steady state tracking error it is necessary to include integrators in the control loop in the case of reference signal generated by integrators. This result can be generalized to arbitrary unstable modes of the reference generator according to the “internal model principle”. This paper shows an alternative solution of the asymptotic reference signal tracking problem using feedforward. The solution is not robust but gives a feedback controller with reduced complexity. Robust tracking...
Robust and reliable output feedback control for linear systems with parameter uncertainty and actuator failure
The robust and reliable output feedback controller design problem is investigated for uncertain linear systems with actuator failures within a prespecified subset of actuators. The uncertainty considered here is time- varying norm-bounded parameter uncertainty in the state matrix. The output of a faulty actuator is assumed to be any arbitrary energy-bounded signal. An observer-based output feedback controller design is presented which stabilizes the plant and guarantees an -norm bound on attenuation...

Robust control of chaos in modified FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model under external electrical stimulation based on internal model principle
This paper treats the question of robust control of chaos in modified FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model under external electrical stimulation based on internal model principle. We first present the solution of the global robust output regulation problem for output feedback system with nonlinear exosystem. Then we show that the robust control problem for the modified FitzHugh-Nagumo neuron model can be formulated as the global robust output regulation problem and the solvability conditions for the output...

Robust Control of Linear Stochastic Systems with Fully Observable State
We consider a multidimensional linear system with additive inputs (control) and Brownian noise. There is a cost associated with each control. The aim is to minimize the cost. However, we work with the model in which the parameters of the system may change in time and in addition the exact form of these parameters is not known, only intervals within which they vary are given. In the situation where minimization of a functional over the class of admissible controls makes no sense since the value of...
Robust controller design for linear polytopic systems
The paper addresses the problem of the robust output feedback controller design with a guaranteed cost and parameter dependent Lyapunov function for linear continuous time polytopic systems. Two design methods based on improved robust stability conditions are proposed. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methods. The obtained results are compared with other three design procedures.

Robust coordination control of switching multi-agent systems via output regulation approach
In this paper, the distributed output regulation problem of uncertain multi-agent systems with switching interconnection topologies is considered. All the agents will track or reject the signals generated by an exosystem (or an active leader). A systematic distributed design approach is proposed to handle output regulation via dynamic output feedback with the help of canonical internal model. With common solutions of regulator equations and Lyapunov functions, the distributed robust output regulation...
Robust decentralized control of multi-channel descriptor systems with norm-bounded parametric uncertainties
This paper considers a robust decentralized control problem for multi-channel descriptor systems. The uncertainties are assumed to be time-invariant, norm-bounded, and exist in both the system and control input matrices. Our interest is focused on dynamic output feedback. A necessary and sufficient condition for an uncertain multi-channel descriptor system to be robustly stabilizable with a specified norm is derived in terms of a strict nonlinear matrix inequality (NMI), that is, an NMI with...
Robust decoupling through algebraic output feedback in manipulation systems
This paper investigates the geometric and structural characteristics involved in the control of general mechanisms and manipulation systems. These systems consist of multiple cooperating linkages that interact with a reference member of the mechanism (the “object”) by means of contacts on any available part of their links. Grasp and manipulation of an object by the human hand is taken as a paradigmatic example for this class of manipulators. Special attention is devoted to the output specification...
Robust dynamic output feedback fault-tolerant control for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with interval time-varying delay via improved delay partitioning approach
This paper addresses the problem of robust fault-tolerant control design scheme for a class of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems subject to interval time-varying delay and external disturbances. First, by using improved delay partitioning approach, a novel n-steps iterative learning fault estimation observer under H ∞ constraint is constructed to achieve estimation of actuator fault. Then, based on the online estimation information, a fuzzy dynamic output feedback fault-tolerant controller considered...
