abstract: in this work, an optimal control scheme with adaptive weighting coefficients is presented which coordinates different vehicle dynamics control objectives, thus ruling out possible conflicts among them. in a new approach, the weighting coefficients in optimal control are adjusted according to the vehicle state in the phase plane in such a way that a priority is given to each objective ...

Integrated control of ectoparasites of veterinary importance is being implemented on a limited basis at present. However, several forces are accelerating a global shift to integrated pest management (IPM). These accelerating forces include the following: reduction in new chemical compounds registered for use on livestock and poultry universal development of resistance to pesticides heightened e...

This paper presents the development of an integrated reconfigurable control allocation approach. This integrated approach combines frequencyapportioned control allocation with actuator failure detection and isolation. Frequency-apportioned control allocation integrates innovative control effectors with conventional aerodynamic controls and considers both the steady-state performance and frequen...

The design of embedded controllers is about developing control algorithms and their implementation satisfying tight constraints on performance and cost. To reduce design time and implementation cost, we propose a methodology based on the principles of platform-based design. The design process is decomposed into a sequence of steps that involve different levels of abstraction (platforms) related...

The report gives a state-of-the-art survey of the field of integrated control and scheduling. Subtopics discussed are implementation and scheduling of periodic control loops, scheduling under overload, control and scheduling co-design, dynamic task adaptation, feedback scheduling, and scheduling of imprecise calculations. The report also presents the background, motivation, and research topics ...

Abstract: Stability, maneuverability, and safe landing in the presence of adverse conditions need an integrated approach for addressing various flight control aspects of resilient aircraft control. Adverse events include loss of control caused by environmental factors, actuator and sensor faults or failures, and expand toward more complicated damage conditions. In this article, the application ...
