Approximate Simulation for Template-Based Whole-Body Control

Simulation-Based Approximate Solution

We consider linear least squares problems, or linear systems that can be formulated into least squares problems, of very large dimension, such as those arising for example in dynamic programming (DP) and inverse problems. We introduce an associated approximate problem, within a subspace spanned by a relatively small number of basis functions, and solution methods that use simulation, importance...

Whole Building Control System Design and Evaluation: Simulation-Based Assessment

A Finite-Element Simulation of Galvanic Coupling Intra-Body Communication Based on the Whole Human Body

Simulation based on the finite-element (FE) method plays an important role in the investigation of intra-body communication (IBC). In this paper, a finite-element model of the whole body model used for the IBC simulation is proposed and verified, while the FE simulation of the galvanic coupling IBC with different signal transmission paths has been achieved. Firstly, a novel finite-element metho...

Hierarchical control system design using approximate simulation

In this paper, we present a new approach for hierarchical control based on the recent notions of approximate simulation and simulation functions, a quantitative version of the simulation relations. Given a complex system that need to be controlled and a simpler abstraction, we show how the knowledge of a simulation function allows us to synthesize hierarchical control laws by first controlling ...

Template-Based Geometric Simulation of Flexible Frameworks

Specialised modelling and simulation methods implementing simplified physical models are valuable generators of insight. Template-based geometric simulation is a specialised method for modelling flexible framework structures made up of rigid units. We review the background, development and implementation of the method, and its applications to the study of framework materials such as zeolites an...
