Moving horizon estimation is an efficient technique to estimate states and parameters of constrained dynamical systems. It relies on the solution of a finite horizon optimization problem to compute the estimates, providing ...

In this article we present a unified framework based on receding horizon techniques that can be used to design the three tasks (guidance, navigation and path-planning) which are involved in the autonomy of unmanned vehicles. ...

En esta tesis se aborda el problema de estimación y control simultáneos de sistemas no lineales sujetos a perturbaciones a acotadas mediante técnicas de horizonte móvil. La tesis está compuesta de tres partes. La primer ...

Scheduling product batches in pipelines is a very complex task with many constraints to be considered. Several papers have been published on the subject during the last decade. Most of them are based on large-size MILP ...

This work deals with the entire process of target detection and ranging by a sky-wave over-the-horizon radar (OTHR) computational model simulation. The different processing stages of the transmitted signal along its ...

In this article we present a real-time path-planning algorithm that can be used to generate optimal and feasible paths for any kind of unmanned vehicle (UV). The proposed algorithm is based on the use of a simplified ...

This 2012 perspective of the 1987 Palgrave entry on ‘turnpike theory’ highlights the subsequent development of the subject in the light of a critical re-reading of the original. It distinguishes the 1949 conception, a ...

Processos não lineares frequentemente aparecem na indústria e representam um desafio para estimação e controle. Para lidar com eles, usualmente é necessário usar técnicas não lineares que levam a teorias mais avançadas, ...
