This work addresses the solution to the problem of robust model predictive control (MPC) of systems with model uncertainty. The case of zone control of multi-variable stable systems with multiple time delays is considered. ...

The need for complementing robot's autonomy behaviour with human reasoning has made robot teleoperation a research topic for more than fifty years. And while most of the research work usually deploys a master-slave ...

This chapter aims to take a first step towards the unification of the stability analysis for teleoperators with time-delay. It proposes a general Lyapunov-like function that, upon slight modification, generates different ...

Time delay is the property of a physical system so that the response to an applied force (action) is delayed in its e ect. Whenever material, information or energy is physically transmitted from one place to another, ...

To enrich the dynamics of three models, we introduced biologically motivated time-varying delays. All models under study belong to a special class of nonlinear nonautonomous delay differential systems with non-Lipschitz ...

Acoustic correlators are often used to pinpoint leaks in water distribution systems. Generally, these devices are tested for their efficacy in bespoke test rigs that are also used for training purposes. However, this can ...

Multirate simulation of electric networks exhibiting a wide variety of time constants decreases the simulation runtimes by exploiting the property of circuit latency. The fundamental idea is to use different integration ...
