In this paper, we present and analyze a class of discrete-time and sampled-data controllers named first-order projection elements (FOPEs). FOPEs form a class of hybrid controllers that have an underlying linear base dynamics, which are combined with a projection operator that ensures that the input-output (I/O) pair is contained in a well-designed sector. The I/O sector-constraint enables performance benefits in various application domains including motion control of high-precision machines. After the introduction of FOPEs, we focus on incremental stability analysis of these hybrid controllers. We show that the properties of the projection operator ensure incremental stability of the open-loop FOPE dynamics in case of an underlying linear dynamics that is exponentially stable. In this case, we compute tight bounds on the incremental gain. Under an appropriate small-gain condition, we show incremental input-to-state stability of the sampled-data interconnection of a FOPE with a continuous-time linear time-invariant plant. For the case of projected integrator dynamics, we provide a counterexample showing that incremental stability can be compromised. We provide additional, necessary and sufficient conditions under which FOPEs with integrator dynamics are incrementally asymptotically stable. Numerical simulations provide a practical example of the established incremental properties for the trajectories of a dynamical system coming from an industrial motion control application.

This paper proposes a novel hybrid UAV that can turn acutely with flip-turn motion. The UAV has a link consisting of four rotors, named quadlink, which is connected to the fuselage via a passive joint. When the UAV wants to turn in the reverse direction, only the quadlink rotates to generate thrust in the reverse direction for deceleration without changing the attitude of the wings. This eliminates the vertical motion during the deceleration of the conventional tailsitter UAVs and achieves acute turning. Then, once the UAV sufficiently slows down, it accelerates in the reverse direction while flipping the fuselage upside down to point the nose in the reverse direction. Finally, the UAV fully transitions to reverse cruise flight in the opposite direction. This paper only considers longitudinal motion as the first step in controlling the proposed UAV. The acute turn is accomplished without switching controllers. The paper finally presents a simulation result to evaluate the performance of the proposed UAV and controller.

This paper presents a novel VTOL UAV that owns a link connecting four rotors and a fuselage by a passive joint, allowing the control of the rotor's tilting angle by adjusting only the rotors' thrust. This unique structure contributes to eliminating additional actuators, such as servo motors, to control the tilting angles of rotors, resulting in the UAV's weight lighter and simpler structure. We first derive the dynamical model of the newly designed UAV and analyze its controllability. Then, we design the controller that leverages the tiltable link with four rotors to accelerate the UAV while suppressing a deviation of the UAV's angle of attack from the desired value to restrain the change of the aerodynamic force. Finally, the validity of the proposed control strategy is evaluated in simulation study.

Subsequently, a composite actor-critic reinforcement learning(RL) scheme is built for approximating both the ideal value function associated with the compensated system and the optimal control policy in real-time, by augmenting the system states with the output tracking error. To counteract the impact of the probing signal, concurrent learning is employed in this paper with the data collected from the known system *** results based on an experimental platform of slot die coating machines demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
