A deterministic optimal control problem is solved for a control-affine nonlin-ear system with a nonquadratic cost function. We algebraically solve the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the gradient of the value function. This eliminates the need to explicitly solve the solution of a Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation. We interpret the value function in terms of the control Lyapunov functi...

The surface protein SdrE, a microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecule (MSCRAMM) family protein expressed on the surface of Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus), can recognize human complement regulator Factor H and C4BP, thus making it a potentially promising vaccine candidate. In this study, SdrE278-591 was found to directly affect S. aureus host cell invasion. Additionall...

The state-dependent Riccati equation (SDRE) approach to nonlinear system stabilization relies on representing a nonlinear system’s dynamics in a manner to resemble linear dynamics, but with state-dependent coefficient matrices that can then be inserted into state-dependent Riccati equations to generate a feedback law. Although stability of the resulting closed loop system need not be guaranteed...

The continuous tandem cold rolling of metal strip is a highly nonlinear multi-variable complex process the control of which presents additional challenges over those encountered in the control of stand-alone tandem cold rolling. These challenges arise during the passage of the weld, which joins the head of the next strip to the tail of the present strip to maintain the continuity of rolling. Th...

In this paper, a planar air-bearing test bed with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) was used to microsatellite motion control system. The UAV mock-ups were controlled by four ventilator actuators that imitated the satellite thrusters and provided required acceleration vector in horizontal plane, torque along vertical direction. moved almost without friction due air cushion between surface flat moc...

Both recognition and 3D tracking of frontal dynamic objects are crucial problems in an autonomous vehicle, while depth estimation as essential issue becomes a challenging problem using monocular camera. Since both camera moving, the can be formed structure from motion (SFM) problem. In this paper, to elicit features image, YOLOv3 approach is utilized beside OpenCV tracker. Subsequently, obtain ...
