Model-Free H∞ Output Feedback Control of Road Sensing in Vehicle Active Suspension Based on Reinforcement Learning
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 5/2/2023 1)An active suspension system ensures the controllability of a vehicle in the vertical direction, which greatly enhances the control redundancy and safety of an intelligent driven vehicle. However, many calibrated model ... -
Rotorcraft Robotic Landing Gear With Locking Mechanisms
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 4/26/2023 )Robotic landing gear (RLG) for rotorcraft improves performance in landing on sloped uneven terrain, unprepared areas, and ship decks. The interaction between the feet of the RLG and the landing surface are pivotal to a ... -
Differential Flatness of Slider–Pusher Systems for Constrained Time Optimal Collision Free Path Planning
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 4/26/2023 )In this work, we show that the differential kinematics of slider–pusher systems are differentially flat assuming quasi-static behavior and frictionless contact. Second, we demonstrate that the state trajectories are invariant ... -
Koopman Model Predictive Control of an Integrated Thermal Management System for Electric Vehicles
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 4/13/2023 )This paper is concerned with energy efficient operation of an integral thermal management system (ITMS) for electric vehicles using a nonlinear model predictive control (MPC). Driven by a heat pump (HP), this ITMS can ... -
Hybrid Kinematic-Dynamic Sideslip and Friction Estimation
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 4/3/2023 1)Vehicle sideslip and tyre/road friction are crucial variables for advanced vehicle stability control systems. Estimation is required since direct measurement through sensors is costly and unreliable. In this paper, we ... -
Discrete Robust Control of Robot Manipulators Using an Uncertainty and Disturbance Estimator
(The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), 3/20/2023 )This article presents the design of a robust observer based on the discrete-time (DT) formulation of uncertainty and disturbance estimator (UDE), a well-known robust control technique, for the purpose of controlling robot ... -
Self-Triggered Model Predictive Control With Sample-and-Hold Fashion for Constrained Continuous-Time Linear Systems
