Continuous-time Model Predictive Control for Economic Optimization : Theory, Design, and Applications to Motion Control of Underactuated Vehicles

Andrea Alessandretti

This thesis addresses the design of optimization-based control laws for the case where convergence to a desired set-point, minimization of an arbitrary performance index, or a combination of the two, is the desired objective. The results are developed with ...

Development of an in situ controllable polymerization tool and process for hydrogel used to replace nucleus pulposus

Dominique Pioletti, Christophe Moser, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Andreas Schmocker, Azadeh Khoushabi

Currently implants or tissue replacements are inserted either as a whole implant or by injecting a liquid which polymerizes to form a solid implant at the appropriate location. This is either highly invasive or not controllable. We developed a tool to perf ...

Interfacial Redox Catalysis on Gold Nanofilms at Soft Interfaces

Hubert Girault, Pekka Eero Peljo, Evgeny Smirnov, Micheal Diarmaid Scanlon

Soft or “liquid-liquid” interfaces were functionalized by half a monolayer of mirror-like nanofilms of gold nanoparticles using a precise interfacial microinjection method. The surface coverage of the nanofilm was characterized by ion transfer voltammetry. ...

Optimization Based Control for Target Estimation and Tracking via Highly Observable Trajectories An Application to Motion Control of Autonomous Robotic Vehicles

Colin Neil Jones, Andrea Alessandretti

This paper proposes a Model Predictive Control (MPC) scheme to solve the target estimation and tracking problem. The objective is to derive a feedback law that drives an autonomous robotic vehicle to follow a target vehicle using an on-line estimate of the ...

Multiexciton dynamics in tailored band-gap quasi-one-dimensional systems

Elyahou Kapon, Alok Rudra, Benjamin Dwir, Justyna Szeszko

Optoelectronic properties of site-controlled AlGaAs/GaAs quasi-one-dimensional structures are investigated. Controllable linear variation of the band gap along the vertical axis of the quantum wire, symmetrical with respect to its center, results in a set ...
