چکیده
3 I owe this research to my wonderful husband, Donald, who has been my motivation and inspiration during these years. You suffered with me through the bad times and celebrated with me through the good times. My parents Joseph and Yvonne, and my brother, Nikolas, thank you for all of your support and love. You encouraged me to persevere when things got tough. Thank you. 4 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Carl Crane for supporting me throughout my graduate school career. Thanks go to my committee members: Dr.

Compliant coordination and control of multiple vehicles with discrete-time periodic communications
This paper addresses the problem of coordinated path-following of networked autonomous vehicles with discrete-time periodic communications. The objective is to steer a group of autonomous vehicles along given spatial paths, while holding a desired inter-vehicle formation pattern. For a class of vehicles, we show how Lyapunov based techniques, graph theory, and results from networked control sys...
متن کاملScheduling of Multiple Autonomous Guided Vehicles for an Assembly Line Using Minimum Cost Network Flow
This paper proposed a parallel automated assembly line system to produce multiple products having multiple autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs). Several assembly lines are configured to produce multiple products in which the technologies of machines are shared among the assembly lines when required. The transportation between the stations in an assembly line (intra assembly line) and among station...
متن کاملBio-inspired construction with mobile robots and compliant pockets
In this paper, we develop an autonomous construction system in which self-contained ground robots build a protective barrier bymeans of compliant pockets.We present a stochastic control algorithm based on two biological mechanisms – stigmergy and templates – that takes advantage of compliant pockets for autonomous construction with single and multiple robots. The control algorithm guides the ro...
متن کاملLarge Deflection Analysis of Compliant Beams of Variable Thickness and Non-Homogenous Material under Combined Load and Multiple Boundary Conditions
This paper studies a new approach to analyze the large deflection behavior of prismatic and non-prismatic beams of non-homogenous material under combined load and multiple boundary conditions. The mathematical formulation has been derived which led to a set of six first-order ordinary differential equations. The geometric nonlinearity was solved numerically using the multiple shooting method co...
متن کاملEffect of Distributed Energy Resources in Energy Hubs on Load and Loss Factors of Energy Distribution Networks
In this paper, an attempt has been made to introduce a new control strategy including Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) and Diesel engine generator to control the voltage and frequency of autonomous microgrids. The proposed control strategy has multiple advantages over the recent control methods in microgrids. The proposed method applies the primary and secondary frequency control strategy...
