Universal Extremum Seeking Mechanism for Lift Variation in Soaring Birds Flight: A New Paradigm in Computational Physics and Biology
Simone Martini, Dipesh Kunwar, Sameh A. Eisa
In this letter, we reveal a universal, very simple extremum seeking natural feedback law and mechanism that governs, adapts, and generates in real-time, optimized lift variations f…
First Experimental Demonstration of Natural Hovering Extremum Seeking: A New Paradigm in Flapping Flight Physics
Ahmed A. Elgohary, Rohan Palanikumar, Simone Martini +1
In this letter, we report the first experimental demonstration of the recently emerged new paradigm in hovering and flapping flight physics called (Natural Hovering Extremum Seekin…
Dimensionality Reduction with Koopman Generalized Eigenfunctions
Simone Martini, Margareta Stefanovic, Kimon P. Valavanis
This paper presents a methodology to achieve lower-dimensional Koopman quasi-linear representations of nonlinear system dynamics using Koopman generalized eigenfunctions. The propo…
Reinforcement Learning Based Prediction of PID Controller Gains for Quadrotor UAVs
Serhat Sönmez, Luca Montecchio, Simone Martini +4
A reinforcement learning (RL) based methodology is proposed and implemented for online fine-tuning of PID controller gains, thus, improving quadrotor effective and accurate traject…
