Model-Free Detection and Accommodation of Sensor Faults for a PEM Electrolyzer

Meziane Ait Ziane, Michel Zasadzinski, Cédric Join +1

We investigate the detection and accommodation of sensor faults for a proton exchange membrane electrolyzer coupled to a DC/DC converter powered by renewable energy sources. The pr…

Sterile mosquito release via intelligent proportional controllers

Cédric Join, Luis Almeida, Michel Fliess

The Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) against insect pests and insect vectors consists of releasing males that have been previously sterilized in order to reduce or eliminate a specif…

Air supply control for proton exchange membrane fuel cells without explicit modeling

Méziane Ait Ziane, Michel Zasadzinski, Cédric Join +1

Our objective is to study the performance and robustness of the model-free strategy for controlling the oxygen stoichiometry of a fuel cell air supply system with a proton exchange…

Time-Invariant Linear Quadratic Regulators: A New Look

Cédric Join, Emmanuel Delaleau, Michel Fliess

This paper demonstrates that linear ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients serve as the main building block for time-invariant linear quadratic regulators (LQRs…

Avoidance of an unexpected obstacle without reinforcement learning: Why not using advanced control-theoretic tools?

Cédric Join, Michel Fliess

This communication on collision avoidance with unexpected obstacles is motivated by some critical appraisals on reinforcement learning (RL) which "requires ridiculously large numbe…

Disruption of parkinsonian brain oscillations

Cédric Join, Jakub Orłowski, Antoine Chaillet +3

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an advanced surgical treatment for the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), involving electrical stimulation of neurons within the basal ganglia re…

Guidance and Control of Unmanned Surface Vehicles via HEOL

Loïck Degorre, Emmanuel Delaleau, Cédric Join +1

This work presents a new approach to the guidance and control of marine craft via HEOL, i.e., a new way of combining flatness-based and model-free controllers. Its goal is to devel…

Model-Free Predictive Control: Introductory Algebraic Calculations, and a Comparison with HEOL and ANNs

Cédric Join, Emmanuel Delaleau, Michel Fliess

Model predictive control (MPC) is a popular control engineering practice, but requires a sound knowledge of the model. Model-free predictive control (MFPC), a burning issue today,…

Synchronization of Kuramoto oscillators via HEOL, and a discussion on AI

Emmanuel Delaleau, Cédric Join, Michel Fliess

Artificial neural networks and their applications in deep learning have recently made an incursion into the field of control. Deep learning techniques in control are often related…

The Euler-Lagrange equation and optimal control: Preliminary results

Cédric Join, Emmanuel Delaleau, Michel Fliess

Algebraically speaking, linear time-invariant (LTI) systems can be considered as modules. In this framework, controllability is translated as the freeness of the system module. Opt…

Detection and suppression of epileptiform seizures via model-free control and derivatives in a noisy environment

Cédric Join, D. Blair Jovellar, Emmanuel Delaleau +1

Recent advances in control theory yield closed-loop neurostimulations for suppressing epileptiform seizures. These advances are illustrated by computer experiments which are easy t…

Flatness-based control revisited: The HEOL setting

Cédric Join, Emmanuel Delaleau, Michel Fliess

We present the algebraic foundations of the HEOL setting, which combines flatness-based control and intelligent controllers, two advances in automatic control that have been proven…
