Supervisor Localization
A Top-Down Approach to Distributed Control of Discrete-Event Systems
Language: English
Release Date: June 23, 2015
This monograph presents a systematic top-down approach to distributed control synthesis of discrete-event systems (DES). The approach is called supervisor localization; its essence is the allocation of external supervisory control action to individual component agents as their internal control strategies....
Design and Analysis of Control Systems
Case Studies
Language: English
Release Date: January 31, 2017
This book provides methods to unify different approaches to tackle stability theory problems. In particular, it presents a methodology to blend approaches obtained from measure theory with methods obtained from Lyapunov’s stability theory. The author summarizes recent works on how different analysis/design...

Language: English
Release Date: February 23, 2016
This book is a complete treatment of work done to resolve the problems of position-, current-, and shape-control of plasma in tokamak-type (toroidal) devices being studied as a potential means of commercial energy production by nuclear fusion. Modelling and control are both detailed, allowing non-expert...
Reproduction of Tactual Textures
Transducers, Mechanics and Signal Encoding
Language: English
Release Date: January 4, 2013
Texture accounts for an important part of the realism of simulated experiences, and it is most certainly true during tactile interaction. We usually experience roughness by running our fingers onto the explored surface. The perception of this fine texture is mediated by the vibrations generated by...
Consensus Problem of Delayed Linear Multi-agent Systems
Analysis and Design
Language: English
Release Date: September 27, 2016
In the context of coupled-coordination control mechanisms, this book focuses on the delay robustness of consensus problems with asynchronously coupled and synchronously coupled consensus algorithms respectively. Moreover, constructive consensus algorithms that tolerate larger communication delays...
Reinforcement Learning for Optimal Feedback Control
A Lyapunov-Based Approach
Language: English
Release Date: May 10, 2018
Reinforcement Learning for Optimal Feedback Control develops model-based and data-driven reinforcement learning methods for solving optimal control problems in nonlinear deterministic dynamical systems. In order to achieve learning under uncertainty, data-driven methods for identifying system models...
Roboethics
A Navigating Overview
Language: English
Release Date: July 27, 2015
This volume explores the ethical questions that arise in the development, creation and use of robots that are capable of semiautonomous or autonomous decision making and human-like action. It examines how ethical and moral theories can and must be applied to address the complex and critical issues...
Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Energy Management Strategies
Language: English
Release Date: December 16, 2015
This SpringerBrief deals with the control and optimization problem in hybrid electric vehicles. Given that there are two (or more) energy sources (i.e., battery and fuel) in hybrid vehicles, it shows the reader how to implement an energy-management strategy that decides how much of the vehicle’s...
