Local and global analysis of endocrine regulation as a non-cyclic feedback system
Hadi Taghvafard, Anton V. Proskurnikov, Ming Cao
To understand the sophisticated control mechanisms of the human's endocrine system is a challenging task that is a crucial step towards precise medical treatment of many disfunctio…
A guiding vector field algorithm for path following control of nonholonomic mobile robots
Yuri A. Kapitanyuk, Anton V. Proskurnikov, Ming Cao
In this paper we propose an algorithm for path following control of the nonholonomic mobile robot based on the idea of the guiding vector field (GVF). The desired path may be an ar…
Differential Inequalities in Multi-Agent Coordination and Opinion Dynamics Modeling
Anton V. Proskurnikov, Ming Cao
Distributed algorithms of multi-agent coordination have attracted substantial attention from the research community; the simplest and most thoroughly studied of them are consensus…
Guidance algorithm for smooth trajectory tracking of a fixed wing UAV flying in wind flows
Hector Garcia de Marina, Yuri A. Kapitanyuk, Murat Bronz +2
This paper presents an algorithm for solving the problem of tracking smooth curves by a fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle travelling with a constant airspeed and under a constant…
Distributed scaling control of rigid formations
Hector Garcia de Marina, Bayu Jayawardhana, Ming Cao
Recently it has been reported that biased range-measurements among neighboring agents in the gradient distance-based formation control can lead to predictable collective motion. In…
Controlling rigid formations of mobile agents under inconsistent measurements
Hector Garcia de Marina, Ming Cao, Bayu Jayawardhana
Despite the great success of using gradient-based controllers to stabilize rigid formations of autonomous agents in the past years, surprising yet intriguing undesirable collective…
Structural balance and opinion separation in trust-mistrust social networks
Weiguo Xia, Ming Cao, Karl Henrik Johansson
Structural balance theory has been developed in sociology and psychology to explain how interacting agents, e.g., countries, political parties, opinionated individuals, with mixed…
Distributed rotational and translational maneuvering of rigid formations and their applications
Hector Garcia de Marina, Bayu Jayawardhana, Ming Cao
Recently it has been reported that range-measurement inconsistency, or equivalently mismatches in prescribed inter-agent distances, may prevent the popular gradient controllers fro…
Taming mismatches in inter-agent distances for the formation-motion control of second-order agents
Hector Garcia de Marina, Bayu Jayawardhana, Ming Cao
This paper presents the analysis on the influence of distance mismatches on the standard gradient-based rigid formation control for second-order agents. It is shown that, similar t…
