Safety monitoring under stealthy sensor injection attacks using reachable sets
Cédric Escudero, Michelle S. Chong, Paolo Massioni +1
Stealthy sensor injection attacks are serious threats for industrial plants as they can compromise the plant's integrity without being detected by traditional fault detectors. In t…
Nonlinear Optimization Filters for Stochastic Time-Varying Convex Optimization
Andrea Simonetto, Paolo Massioni
We look at a stochastic time-varying optimization problem and we formulate online algorithms to find and track its optimizers in expectation. The algorithms are derived from the in…
Enforcing Safety under Actuator Attacks through Input Filtering
Cédric Escudero, Carlos Murguia, Paolo Massioni +1
Actuator injection attacks pose real threats to all industrial plants controlled through communication networks. In this manuscript, we study the possibility of constraining the co…
Flatness-based control of a two-degree-of-freedom platform with pneumatic artificial muscles
David Bou Saba, Paolo Massioni, Eric Bideaux +1
Pneumatic artificial muscles are a quite interesting type of actuators which have a very high power-to-weight and power-to-volume ratio. However, their efficient use requires very…
Consensus analysis of large-scale nonlinear homogeneous multi-agent formations with polynomial dynamics
Paolo Massioni, Gérard Scorletti
Drawing inspiration from the theory of linear "decomposable systems", we provide a method, based on linear matrix inequalities (LMIs), which makes it possible to prove the converge…
Incremental stability of Lur'e systems through piecewise-affine approximations
Sérgio Waitman, Laurent Bako, Paolo Massioni +2
Lur'e-type nonlinear systems are virtually ubiquitous in applied control theory, which explains the great interest they have attracted throughout the years. The purpose of this pap…
