General formulation of an analytic, Lipschitz continuous control allocation for thrust-vectored controlled rigid-bodies
Frank Mukwege, Tam Willy Nguyen, Emanuele Garone
This paper presents a general framework for solving the control allocation problem (CAP) in thrust-vector controlled rigid-bodies with an arbitrary number of thrusters. Two novel s…
Adaptive Behavioral Predictive Control: State-Free Regulation Without Hankel Weights
Tam W. Nguyen
This paper presents adaptive behavioral predictive control (ABPC), an indirect adaptive predictive control framework operating on streaming data. An LPV--ARX predictor is identifie…
A Predictive Framework for Adversarial Energy Depletion in Inbound Threat Scenarios
Tam W. Nguyen
This paper presents a predictive framework for adversarial energy-depletion defense against a maneuverable inbound threat (IT). The IT solves a receding-horizon problem to minimize…
Fast RLS Identification Leveraging the Linearized System Sparsity: Predictive Cost Adaptive Control for Quadrotors
Tam W. Nguyen
This paper presents a centralized predictive cost adaptive control (PCAC) strategy for the position and attitude control of quadrotors. PCAC is an optimal, prediction-based control…
KPCA for Thrust Vectoring Systems Exhibiting Singular Points
Tam W. Nguyen, Kyoungseok Han, Kenji Hirata
This paper considers a class of thrust vectoring systems, which are nonlinear, overactuated, and time-invariant. We assume that the system is composed of two subsystems and there e…
