Approximate analytic solutions to non-symmetric stance trajectories of the passive Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum with damping
(Springer Netherlands, 2010)This paper introduces an accurate yet analytically simple approximation to the stance dynamics of the Spring-Loaded Inverted Pendulum (SLIP) model in the presence of non-negligible damping and non-symmetric stance trajectories. ... -
Combined component swapping modularity for a VCT engine controller
(ASME, 2010)The use of bi-directional communication provides additional design freedom which can be used to maximize the swapping modularity of networked smart components. In this paper, application of a design method for combined ... -
Comparing PI controllers for delay models of TCP/AQM networks
(Elsevier, 2010)In this paper, ns-2 simulations and related comparisons of four different PI controllers designed for TCP/AQM networks will be presented. The simulations are performed for various scenarios. © 2010 IFAC. -
Comparison of PI controllers designed for the delay model of TCP/AQM networks
(Elsevier, 2013)One of the major problems of communication networks is congestion. In order to address this problem in TCP/IP networks, Active Queue Management (AQM) scheme is recommended. AQM aims to minimize the congestion by regulating ... -

Control of underactuated planar hexapedal pronking through a dynamically embedded SLIP monopod
(IEEE, 2010)Pronking (aka. stotting) is a gait in which all legs are used in synchrony, resulting in long flight phases and large jumping heights that may potentially be useful for mobile robots on rough terrain. Robotic instantiations ... -
Control of underactuated planar pronking through an embedded spring-mass Hopper template
(2011)Autonomous use of legged robots in unstructured, outdoor settings requires dynamically dexterous behaviors to achieve sufficient speed and agility without overly complex and fragile mechanics and actuation. Among such ... -

(Elsevier B.V., 2016)A control algorithm based on switching robust controllers is presented for a Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) time-delay system modeling automatic infusion of vasodilator drug to regulate postsurgical hypertension. The system ... -
Development of a supervisory controller for residential energy management problems
(AACC, 2012-06)In recent years, the infrastructure that supplies energy to residential areas has started to evolve into a multi-source system, just like in automotive industry in which hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) have been replacing ... -
Dwell time optimization in switching control of parameter varying time delay systems
(IEEE, 2011)It has been shown that parameter varying systems with time delays can be robustly stabilized by switching control, provided that the plant's parameter varies slowly enough such that the dwell time conditions of the switched ... -
Integral action controllers for systems with time delays
(Springer, 2009)Consider a stabilizing controller C 1 for a given plant P. If C 1 and P do not have any zeros at the origin, then one can use a cascade connected PI (proportional plus integral) controller C pi with C 1 and keep the feedback ... -
