This thesis explores stochastic optimal control through three interconnected contributions: a theoretical framework, and the development of two regression methods, POLK and POLRF, tailored to high-dimensional regression challenges in this domain. In the f ...

Path-following control is a critical technology for autonomous vehicles. However, time-varying parameters, parametric uncertainties, external disturbances, and complicated environments significantly challenge autonomous driving. We propose an iterative rob ...

As modern machine learning continues to achieve unprecedented benchmarks, the resource demands to train these advanced models grow drastically. This has led to a paradigm shift towards distributed training. However, the presence of adversariesâ whether ma ...

Power-Hardware-in-the-Loop (PHIL) setups have gained high importance in validation of the performance of newly developed instruments and devices with low risk and implementation cost. However, the interconnection of a power hardware with a simulated model ...

Humans control balance using different feedback loops involving the vestibular system, the visual system, and proprioception. In this article, we focus on proprioception and explore the contribution of reflexes based on force and length feedback to standin ...

In this paper, we propose a suboptimal distributed LQR control method, applicable to systems coupled through both physical interconnections and the quadratic cost to be minimized. Thanks to a novel suboptimal but distributed cost-to-go matrix update that e ...

The incremental deployment of decentralized renewable energy sources in the distribution grid is triggering a paradigm change for the power sector. This shift from a centralized structure with big power plants to a decentralized scenario of distributed ene ...

This work develops an effective distributed algorithm for the solution of stochastic optimization problems that involve partial coupling among both local constraints and local cost functions. While the collection of networked agents is interested in discov ...

A significant amount of energy in the buildings can be saved by inducing efficient occupant behavior. The occupant's awareness tools that have been shown to be effective in achieving energy efficiency gains depend on various computational and estimation al ...

In kite power systems, substantial input delay between the actuator and the tethered kite can severely hinder the performance of the control algorithm, limiting the capability of the system to track power-optimal loops. We propose a method that deals with ...

Designing effective behavioral controllers for mobile robots can be difficult and tedious; this process can be circumvented by using online learning techniques which allow robots to generate their own controllers online in an automated fash- ion. In multi- ...

A quadratic programming approach is proposed to tune fixed-order linearly parameterized controllers for stable LTI plants represented by spectral models. The method is based on the shaping of the open-loop or closed-loop frequency functions in the Nyquist ...
