UrbanBox a Low Cost End-to-End Platform for Smart City Sensing

Over the last decade, the number of cyberattacks targeting power systems and causing physical and economic damages has increased rapidly. Among them, False Data Injection Attacks (FDIAs) is a class of cyberattacks against power grid monitoring …

Model Predictive Control of Regenerative Dampers With Acceleration and Energy Harvesting Trade-Offs

Regenerative suspensions are becoming a potential to achieve active suspensions without reducing fuel economy. In this paper, a model predictive controller (MPC) is developed to minimize sprung mass vertical acceleration or maximize the energy …

Cyber-attack detection and accommodation algorithm for energy delivery systems

Cyber-attack accommodation in a cyber-physical system is to ensure system operation, integrity and availability while maintaining a reasonable operational performance under attack. In this paper, we present a novel cyber-attack accommodation …

Multi-modal Learning Pipeline for Smooth Georeferenced Tracking from an Uncalibrated Monocular Camera

Automatic generation of georeferenced trajectories for vehicular traffic is critical for situational awareness and monitoring for both manned and unmanned platforms, irrespective of their level of autonomy. The goal is to estimate the world …

On the regenerative capabilities of electrodynamic dampers using bond graphs and model predictive control

There is a constant interest in the performance capabilities of active suspensions without the associated shortcomings of degraded fuel economy. To this effect, electrodynamic dampers are currently being researched as a means to approach the …

Energy-regenerative model predictive control

This paper presents some solution approaches to the problem of optimal energy-regenerative model predictive control for linear systems subject to stability and/or dissipativity constraints, as well as hard constraints on the state and control …

Localization of Control Synthesis Problem for Large-Scale Interconnected System Using IQC and Dissipativity Theories

The synthesis problem for the compositional performance certification of interconnected systems is considered. A fairly unified description of control synthesis problem is given using integral quadratic constraints (IQC) and dissipativity. Starting …

Concurrent Learning Adaptive Model Predictive Control with Pseudospectral Implementation

This paper presents a control architecture in which a direct adaptive control technique is used within the model predictive control framework, using the concurrent learning based approach, to compensate for model uncertainties. At each time step, the …

Development of realizable and adaptive wheel torque allocation for the control of planar vehicle dynamics

A control allocation architecture is developed for the control of the planar dynamics of a wheel motored vehicle. First, a benchmark controller is presented which takes advantage of indeterminate tire information to make informed control allocation …

Active suspension for the control of planar vehicle dynamics

A novel method of actuating an active suspension system for the control of planar vehicle dynamics is proposed. Active suspension forces are applied in such a way that their effect on the chassis heave-pitch-roll dynamics is negligible. Instead, …
