The general stability theory of nonlinear receding horizon controllers has attracted much attention over the last fifteen years, and many algorithms have been proposed to ensure closed-loop stability. On the other hand many reports exist regarding the use of artificial neural network models in nonlinear receding horizon control. However, little attention has been given to the stability issue of these specific controllers. This paper addresses this problem and proposes to cast the nonlinear receding horizon control based on neural network models within the framework of an existing stabilising algorithm

This paper deals with modelling and identification of aircraft dynamic entering a vertical gust. The identification approach initiated in (M. Fliess et al., 2003) falls under a prospect for identification from tests carried out in the Flight Analysis Laboratory of the DCSD of ONERA in Lille. The plane is considered into various elements which consist in the fuselage, the wing and the tail. The model incorporates delays linked to the aircraft passage through the atmospheric turbulence

This paper summarizes the work done on the development of a module to interface a commercial mechanical scan sonar within an ROV control architecture and its integration with the other modules. The sonar module fulfills the scope of endowing the ROV with an open tool for the management of the sonar setting, adapting sonar performances to the specific mission requirement. In particular, this work is focused on the problem of the generation of environmental map from raw sonar scan data for objects detection purposes as well as for ROV self localization means. Preliminary assumption on the ROV motion ensures the construction of two-dimensional maps of the environment. Additionally, a procedure for self localization of the ROV based on sonar map and on onboard compass data is developed. Experimental tests on structured environment have been performed and other are planned in order to test the validity of the proposed solution. The research has been partially sponsored by the national project PICTURE

The principle of operation of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) drive demands that the motor and converter be treated as one unit. The control of the SRM is very important and difficult. The motor's double salient structure makes its magnetic characteristics highly nonlinear. The motor flux linkage appears to be a nonlinear function of stator currents as well as rotor position. This paper deals with control parameters and converter topology of switched reluctance motor, where an equivalent circuit model is used. Its converter topology and its control are discussed in detail. Control parameters and its converter topology are obtained by using linear model and dynamics of the switched reluctance motor. Simulation studies are performed for phase currents and the steady-state motor operation

This paper presents a modification of a predictive adaptive controller that renders it robust with respect to the occurrence of outliers in the plant measured output. Outliers are large deviations of the signal being measured that are not explained by a Gaussian distribution. Making a Gaussian assumption on the statistics of the observation noise results in the use of a quadratic loss for designing either estimators or controllers. In turn of a quadratic loss yields major amplification of large signal deviations causing poor parameter estimates and, consequently, controller gain detuning and loss of performance. The algorithm presented to solve this problem relies on a modification of the cost being minimized, such as to render it more insensitive to large prediction error values. Simulations on the position control in a ball and beam plant are presented to illustrate the advantages of the controller proposed

Robust fault detection problem for discrete-time LTI systems is considered. Allowing stochastic white noises and bounded unknown deterministic disturbances to model system uncertainties, it is shown that this problem can be cast as a mixed norm H2/Halpha residual generation problem. An example is presented to illustrate the application of the results.

We present in this paper a linearized hovering model of a UAV helicopter obtained using the in-flight data generated through a perturbation method. The UAV helicopter is constructed from a radio-controlled helicopter by integrating an onboard system, which includes a data processing unit, a data acquisition system, a wireless communications and all necessary sensors. A flight control law is then designed using a newly developed nonlinear control technique, i.e. the composite nonlinear feedback control. Actual flight testing shows that the design is successful
