Servos for Local Map Exploration Onboard Nonholonomic Vehicles for Extremum Seeking
Dylan James-Kavanaugh, Patrick McNamee, Qixu Wang +1
Extremum seeking control (ESC) often employs perturbation-based estimates of derivatives for some sensor field or cost function. These estimates are generally obtained by simply mu…

Adaptive Extremum Seeking Control via the RMSprop Optimizer
Patrick McNamee, Zahra Nili Ahmadabadi
Extremum Seeking Control (ESC) is a well-known set of continuous time algorithms for model-free optimization of a cost function. One issue for ESCs is the convergence rates of para…
