Efficient Formulation of Collision Avoidance Constraints in Optimization Based Trajectory Planning and Control
Max Lutz, Thomas Meurer
To be applicable to real world scenarios trajectory planning schemes for mobile autonomous systems must be able to efficiently deal with obstacles in the area of operation. In the…
Reduced order modelling for spatial-temporal temperature and property estimation in a multi-stage hot sheet metal forming process
Daniel Kloeser, Juri Martschin, Thomas Meurer +1
A concise approach is proposed to determine a reduced order control design oriented dynamical model of a multi-stage hot sheet metal forming process starting from a high-dimensiona…
Finite-dimensional output stabilization for a class of linear distributed parameter systems -- a small-gain approach
Lars Grüne, Thomas Meurer
A small-gain approach is proposed to analyze closed-loop stability of linear diffusion-reaction systems under finite-dimensional observer-based state feedback control. For this, th…
Flatness-based MPC for underactuated surface vessels in confined areas
Simon Helling, Max Lutz, Thomas Meurer
A two-phase model predictive controller (MPC) is proposed for underactuated surface vessel operation in confined environments. For general driving maneuvers (phase one) the ship's…
On the Dual Implementation of Collision-Avoidance Constraints in Path-Following MPC for Underactuated Surface Vessels
Simon Helling, Christian Roduner, Thomas Meurer
A path-following collision-avoidance model predictive control (MPC) method is proposed which approximates obstacle shapes as convex polygons. Collision-avoidance is ensured by mean…
Optimal Trajectory Planning and Model Predictive Control of Underactuated Marine Surface Vessels using a Flatness-Based Approach
Max Lutz, Thomas Meurer
This paper demonstrates a refined approach to solving dynamic optimization problems for underactuated marine surface vessels. To this end the differential flatness of a mathematica…
Parallelized POD-based Suboptimal Economic Model Predictive Control of a State-Constrained Boussinesq approximation
Julian Andrej, Lars Grüne, Luca Mechelli +3
Motivated by an energy efficient building application, we want to optimize a quadratic cost functional subject to the Boussinesq approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations and to…
Iterative Surface Mapping Using Local Geometry Approximation with Sparse Measurements During Robotic Tooling Tasks
Manuel Amersdorfer, Thomas Meurer
We present a cost-efficient and versatile method to map an unknown 3D freeform surface using only sparse measurements while the end-effector of a robotic manipulator moves along th…
Robust nonlinear observer design based on impulsive dissipativity
A. Schaum, P. Feketa, T. Meurer +1
The paper considers the design of a nonlinear dissipative impulsive observer based on non-periodic discrete-time measurements. Sufficient conditions are derived for (i) exponential…
Stability of cluster formations in adaptive Kuramoto networks
Petro Feketa, Alexander Schaum, Thomas Meurer
This paper studies stability properties of multi-cluster formations in Kuramoto networks with adaptive coupling. Sufficient conditions for the local asymptotic stability of the cor…
PDE-based multi-agent formation control using flatness and backstepping: analysis, design and robot experiments
Gerhard Freudenthaler, Thomas Meurer
A PDE-based control concept is developed to deploy a multi-agent system into desired formation profiles. The dynamic model is based on a coupled linear, time-variant parabolic dist…
Synchronization and multi-cluster capabilities of oscillatory networks with adaptive coupling
Petro Feketa, Alexander Schaum, Thomas Meurer
We prove the existence of a multi-dimensional non-trivial invariant toroidal manifold for the Kuramoto network with adaptive coupling. The constructed invariant manifold correspond…
Synchronization of nonlinearly coupled networks of Chua oscillators
Petro Feketa, Alexander Schaum, Thomas Meurer +2
The paper develops new sufficient conditions for synchronization of a network of nonlinearly coupled Chua oscillators interconnected via the first state coordinate only. The no…
