Tracking Control of a Pendulum using a Numerically Efficient State Estimation Approach for Polynomic Nonlinear Systems|

This paper reports on the tracking control of a pendulum. The particular contributions of this paper lie in the development of a numerically efficient approach for the state estimation of a class of nonlinear systems which fall under the extended generalized Wiener model structure and its application to the pendulum system. It details the estimation and control aspects for achieving the trackin...

Approximately Optimal Trajectory Tracking for Continuous Time Nonlinear Systems

Adaptive dynamic programming has been investigated and used as a method to approximately solve optimal regulation problems. However, the extension of this technique to optimal tracking problems for continuous-time nonlinear systems has remained a non-trivial open problem. The control development in this paper guarantees ultimately bounded tracking of a desired trajectory, while also ensuring th...

Mathematical Analysis of Optimal Tracking Interval Management for Power Efficient Target Tracking Wireless Sensor Networks

In this paper, we study the problem of power efficient tracking interval management for distributed target tracking wireless sensor networks (WSNs). We first analyze the performance of a distributed target tracking network with one moving object, using a quantitative mathematical analysis. We show that previously proposed algorithms are efficient only for constant average velocity objects howev...

Trajectory tracking of under-actuated nonlinear dynamic robots: Adaptive fuzzy hierarchical terminal sliding-mode control

In recent years, underactuated nonlinear dynamic systems trajectory tracking, such as space robots and manipulators with structural flexibility, has become a major field of interest due to the complexity and high computational load of these systems. Hierarchical sliding mode control has been investigated recently for these systems; however, the instability phenomena will possibly occur, especia...
