The insistence of this paper is to design Fractional order-proportional Integral Derivative (FO-PID) and Integral order –Proportional Integral Derivative (IO-PID) controllers for trajectory tracking control of Twin rotor Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) system (TRMS). The aim of these designed controllers is to move the main and tail actuator at the desired angles accurately to fulfill the demanding attributes so that TRMS should stabilize while hovering. The controller parameters of both the controllers are optimized using fmincon function as well as Multiobjective genetic algorithm. Both the controller are tested in real time and their performance are compared for control of yaw and pitch angles of TRMS. Manual disturbances are given at after 40 seconds of first given disturbance, and the designed controllers are highly capable in diminishing quickly the effect of manual perturbations given to the main and tail rotor of TRMS. From experiment it is observed from comparative performance that FO-PID controller tuned using multiobjective genetic algorithm give best performance in term of time taken to stabilization after the given disturbance.

Consider an equal number of mobile robotic agents and distinct target locations dispersed in an environment. Each agent has a limited communication range and knowledge of every target's position. We study the following target assignment problem: design a distributed algorithm with which the agents divide the targets among themselves and, simultaneously, move to their unique target. This paper focuses on "dense" environments, where the sum of the communication footprints is larger than the area of the environment. We introduce the class of monotonic algorithms, whose worst-case completion time is lower bounded by the area of the environment. We propose a monotonic algorithm called GRID ASSGMT and characterize its asymptotic performance: First, the algorithm is an asymptotically optimal monotonic algorithm for worst-case initial conditions. Second, for uniformly randomly distributed agents and targets the completion time is upper bounded by the diameter of the environment with high probability. Third, if the number of agents exceeds the number of targets by a logarithmic factor, then the completion time is constant with high probability. Our algorithm also solves a sensor based target assignment problem where agents have no initial knowledge of target positions, but acquire them via limited range sensing.
Hybrid systems with memory are dynamicalsystems exhibiting both hybrid and delay phenomena. We present a general modelling framework for such systems using hybrid functional inclusions, whose generalized solutions ar...

This paper constructs bounds on the expected value of a scalar function of a random vector. The bounds are obtained using an optimization method, which can be computed efficiently using state-of-the-art solvers, and do not require integration or sampling the random vector. This optimization based approach is especially useful in stochastic programming, where the criteria to be minimized takes the form of an expected value. In particular, we minimize the bounds to solve problems of discrete time finite horizon open-loop control with stochastic perturbations and also uncertainty in the system's parameters. We illustrate this application with two numerical examples.

A new method for solving output-feedback model predictive control (MPC) and moving horizon estimation (MHE) problems simultaneously as a single min-max optimization problem was recently proposed. This method allows for stability analysis of the joint output-feedback control and estimation problem. In fact, under the main assumption that a saddle-point solution exists for the min-max optimization problem as well as standard observability and controllability assumptions, practical stability can be established in the presence of noise and disturbances. In this paper we derive sufficient conditions for the existence of a saddle-point solution to this min-max optimization problem. For the specialized linear-quadratic case, we show that a saddle-point solution exists if the system is observable and weights in the cost function are chosen appropriately. A numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of this combined control and estimation approach.

Two distributed algorithms to estimate the optimal control input sequence that solves a finite horizon quadratic optimization are proposed. The first algorithm utilizes information from 2-hop neighbors, whereas the second only considers 1-hop neighbors. The estimates obtained from both algorithms converge asymptotically, under appropriate assumptions, for any initialization of the algorithm. For the 2-hop algorithm, we show that the converged estimate is the optimal solution to the original optimization problem, while for the 1-hop algorithm the result is generally a suboptimal solution. We evaluate the methods with simulations for a leader-follower model predictive control problem with unstable linear agents dynamics.
