Abstract: In this paper, a new method for state estimation, referred to as the variable structure filter (VSF), is briefly reviewed. The VSF method is model based and has been formulated for its ...

Abstract: A method that is often used for parameter estimation is the extended Kalman filter (EKF). EKF is a model-based strategy that implicitly considers the effect of modeling uncertainties. This ...

Abstract: In this paper reports on an important finding, that is, hydrostatic actuation systems are able to manipulate heavy loads with submicron precision and a large stroke. In this relation, the ...

Abstract: This manuscript pertains to the application of an inner-loop control strategy to electromechanical flight surface actuation systems. Modular electromechanical actuators (EMAs) are increasingly used ...

Abstract: A common problem pertaining to linear or nonlinear systems is the design of a combined robust control and estimation strategy that can effectively deal with noise and uncertainties. The variable ...

Abstract: This article presents the development of a multiple inner-loop control strategy for improving the performance of hydrostatic actuation systems. In these actuators, the presence of nonlinearities ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the application of four nonlinear estimation techniques on two benchmark target tracking problems. The first problem is a generic air traffic control (ATC) scenario, which ...
