In this paper, we present an off-policy reinforcement learning (RL) method used to tune the optimal weights of a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) scheme. The objective is to find the optimal policy minimizing the closed-loop performance of point stabilization with obstacle avoidance control task. The parameterized NMPC scheme serves to approximate the optimal policy and update the paramet...Show More
Droplets generation in wind tunnels plays a crucial role in studying the factors contributing to ice formation on aircrafts. The liquid water content (LWC) and median volumetric diameter (MVD) are critical parameters influencing ice formation due to their impact on the rate of ice accumulation (frost, icing, or mixed), significantly affecting aircraft performance. Controlling these parameters is t...Show More
This paper focuses on the Workshop “(Re)Creative Mobile Robotics for Kids–(Re)CreativeRobot’’ for popularizing Control and Mobile Robotics for children. Inspired from the “Girls in Control’’ workshop, this education activity allows children to individually implement basic Control algorithms on mobile robots via Scratch programming. Its first occurrence was held during the French science festival “...Show More
The state estimation of repetitive processes with periodically repeated trajectories can be interpreted as the dual task of iterative learning control design. While the latter has been widely investigated over the last two decades, only few approaches exist for the design of iterative learning observers. However, the exploitation of the knowledge about periodically repeated trajectories, which occ...Show More
Many repetitive control problems are characterized by the fact that disturbances have the same effect in each successive execution of the same control task. Such disturbances comprise the lumped representation of unmodeled parts of the open-loop system dynamics, a systematic model-mismatch or, more generally, deterministic yet unknown uncertainty. In such cases, well-known strategies for iterative...Show More
This letter proposes a novel robust interval observer for a two-dimensional (treated as a synonym for a double-indexed system) linear time-invariant discrete-time system described by the Fornasini-Marchesini second model. This system is subject to unknown but bounded state disturbances and measurement noise. Built on recent interval estimation strategies designed for one-dimensional systems, the p...Show More
This letter proposes an unknown input zonotopic Kalman filter-based interval observer for discrete-time linear time-invariant systems. In such contexts, a change of coordinates decoupling the state and the unknown inputs is often used. Here, the dynamics are rewritten into a discrete-time linear time-invariant descriptor system by augmenting the state vector with the unknown inputs. A zonotopic ou...Show More
This paper proposes a new interval observer for joint estimation of the state and unknown inputs of a discrete-time linear parameter-varying (LPV) system with an unmeasurable parameter vector. This system is assumed to be subject to unknown inputs and unknown but bounded disturbances and measurement noise, while the parameter- varying matrices are elementwise bounded. Considering the unknown input...Show More
In this paper, a decentralized robust tube-based model predictive control algorithm is used for two-dimensional Voronoi-based deployment of a multi-agent system in a bounded convex area, where the planar motion of each agent is subject to uncertain measurements. A bias bounded by a rectangle is thus considered for each agent's position measurement. The convex area of deployment is then partitioned...Show More
This paper presents a decentralized Voronoi-based linear model predictive control (MPC) technique for the deployment and reconfiguration of a multi-agent system composed of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a bounded area. At each time instant, this area is partitioned into non-overlapping time-varying Voronoi cells associated to each UAV agent. The formation deployment objective is to drive the ...Show More
This paper focuses on the design of a linear Kalman filter and an extended Kalman filter for the estimation of an octorotor unmanned aerial vehicle's (UAV) state in the context of Synthetic Aperture Radar image reconstruction. A comparison to a linear interpolation method is also proposed. The Kalman filters are developed based on a complete nonlinear model of the UAV and its linearized form. A pa...Show More
