Modeling Joint Improvisation between Human and Virtual Players in the Mirror Game
Chao Zhai, Francesco Alderisio, Piotr Slowinski +2
Joint improvisation is observed to emerge spontaneously among humans performing joint action tasks, and has been associated with high levels of movement synchrony and enhanced sens…
Switching control for incremental stabilization of nonlinear systems via contraction theory
Mario di Bernardo, Davide Fiore
In this paper we present a switching control strategy to incrementally stabilize a class of nonlinear dynamical systems. Exploiting recent results on contraction analysis of switch…
Design and Validation of a Virtual Player for Studying Interpersonal Coordination in the Mirror Game
Chao Zhai, Francesco Alderisio, Piotr Slowinski +2
The mirror game has been recently proposed as a simple, yet powerful paradigm for studying interpersonal interactions. It has been suggested that a virtual partner able to play the…
Entrainment and Synchronization in Heterogeneous Networks of Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) Oscillators
Francesco Alderisio, Benoit G. Bardy, Mario di Bernardo
In this paper we consider a heterogeneous network of Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) nonlinear oscillators coupled through both linear and nonlinear interaction protocols. While some work e…
A Coverage Based Decentralised Routing Algorithm for Vehicular Traffic Networks
Timothy Barker, Chao Zhai, Mario di Bernardo
We present a simple yet effective routing strategy inspired by coverage control, which delays the onset of congestion on traffic networks, by introducing a control parameter. The r…
Heterogeneity induces emergent functional networks for synchronization
Francesco Scafuti, Takaaki Aoki, Mario di Bernardo
We study the evolution of heterogeneous networks of oscillators subject to a state-dependent interconnection rule. We find that heterogeneity in the node dynamics is key in organiz…
Contraction analysis of switched Filippov systems via regularization
Mario di Bernardo, Davide Fiore, S. John Hogan
We study incremental stability and convergence of switched (bimodal) Filippov systems via contraction analysis. In particular, by using results on regularization of switched dynami…
Dynamic similarity promotes interpersonal coordination in joint-action
Piotr Słowiński, Chao Zhai, Francesco Alderisio +6
Human movement has been studied for decades and dynamic laws of motion that are common to all humans have been derived. Yet, every individual moves differently from everyone else (…
Multiplex PI-Control for Consensus in Networks of Heterogeneous Linear Agents
Daniel Alberto Burbano Lombana, Mario di Bernardo
In this paper, we propose a multiplex proportional-integral approach, for solving consensus problems in networks of heterogeneous nodes dynamics affected by constant disturbances.…
Self-organization of weighted networks for optimal synchronizability
Louis Kempton, Guido Herrmann, Mario di Bernardo
We show that a network can self-organize its structure in a completely distributed manner in order to optimize its synchronizability whilst satisfying the local constraints: non-ne…
Contraction and incremental stability of switched Carathéodory systems using multiple norms
Wenlian Lu, Mario di Bernardo
In this paper, incremental exponential asymptotic stability of a class of switched Carathéodory nonlinear systems is studied based on the novel concept of measure of switched matri…
