This paper investigates nonparametric nonlinear adaptive control under passive learning
conditions. Passive learning refers to the normal situation in control applications in which the …

This article presents the theoretical motivation, implementation approach, and example
validation results for a computationally efficient plume simulation model, designed to replicate …

A highly accessible and unified approach to the design and analysis of intelligent control
systems Adaptive Approximation Based Control is a tool every control designer should have in …

Implementation of backstepping becomes increasingly complex as the order of the system
increases. This increasing complexity is mainly driven by the need to compute command …

Implementation of adaptive backstepping controllers requires analytic calculation of the
partial derivatives of certain stabilizing functions. It is well documented that, as the order of a …

Olfactory-based mechanisms have been hypothesized for biological behaviors including
foraging, mate-seeking, homing, and host-seeking. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) …

This paper addresses the problem of mapping likely locations of a chemical source using
an autonomous vehicle operating in a fluid flow. The paper reviews biological plume-tracing …

This paper considers the vehicle navigation problem for an autonomous underwater vehicle
(AUV) with six degrees of freedom. We approach this problem using an error state …

In this paper, a distributed optimization problem with general differentiable convex objective
functions is studied for continuous-time multi-agent systems with single-integrator dynamics. …

This paper considers two cooperative control problems for nonholonomic mobile agents. In
the first problem, we discuss the design of cooperative control laws such that a group of …
