Path Following Control in 3D Using a Vector Field
Weijia Yao, Ming Cao
Using a designed vector field to control a mobile robot to follow a given desired path is intuitive and practical, and to build a rigorous theory to guide its implementation is ess…
Partial Exponential Stability Analysis of Slow-fast Systems via Periodic Averaging
Yuzhen Qin, Yu Kawano, Brian D. O. Anderson +1
This paper presents some new criteria for partial exponential stability of a slow-fast nonlinear system with a fast scalar variable using periodic averaging methods. Unlike classic…
Recurrent Averaging Inequalities in Multi-Agent Control and Social Dynamics Modeling
Anton V. Proskurnikov, Giuseppe Calafiore, Ming Cao
Many multi-agent control algorithms and dynamic agent-based models arising in natural and social sciences are based on the principle of iterative averaging. Each agent is associate…
Angle rigidity and its usage to stabilize planar formations
Liangming Chen, Ming Cao, Chuanjiang Li
Motivated by the challenging formation stabilization problem for mobile robotic teams when no distance or relative displacement measurements are available and each robot can only m…
Distributed Global Output-Feedback Control for a Class of Euler-Lagrange Systems
Qingkai Yang, Hao Fang, Jie Chen +2
This published paper investigates the distributed tracking control problem for a class of Euler-Lagrange multi-agent systems when the agents can only measure the positions. In this…
Lyapunov Criterion for Stochastic Systems and Its Applications in Distributed Computation
Yuzhen Qin, Ming Cao, Brian D. O. Anderson
This paper presents new sufficient conditions for convergence and asymptotic or exponential stability of a stochastic discrete-time system, under which the constructed Lyapunov fun…
Design of Privacy-Preserving Dynamic Controllers
Yu Kawano, Ming Cao
As a quantitative criterion for privacy of "mechanisms" in the form of data-generating processes, the concept of differential privacy was first proposed in computer science and has…
