Content: A logical tool in robust control theory for systems of parametric inhomogeneous linear ODEs.

this paper presents some analyses about the robust practical stability of a class of nonlinear affine systems in the presence of non-vanishing perturbations based on the passivity concept. the given analyses confirm the robust passivity property of the perturbed nonlinear systems in a certain region. moreover, robust control laws are designed to guarantee the practical stability of the perturbe...

the networked control system in modern control widely uses to decrease the implementation cost and increasing the performance. ncs in addition to its advantages is inevitable. nevertheless they suffer of some limitations and deficiencies. packet loss is one of the main limitations which affect the control system in different conditions and finally may lead to system instability. for this reason...

in this study, a robust controller is designed for fuzzy network control systems (ncss) using the static output feedback. delay and data packet dropout affect on the stability of network control systems, and therefore, the asymptotic stability condition is established considering delay and data packet dropout. delay is time-varying while the lower and upper bounds for delay is defined, and the ...

in this paper, a robust tracking control method for automatic take-off and trajectory tracking of a quadrotor helicopter is presented. the designed controller includes two parts: a position controller and an attitude controller. the attitude controller is designed by using the sliding mode control (smc) method to track the desired pitch and roll angles, which are the output of position controll...
