Modern societies have an abundance of data yet good system models are rare. Unfortunately, many of the current system identification and machine learning techniques fail to generalize outside of the training set, producing models that violate basic physical laws. This work proposes a novel method for the Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics with Side Information (SINDy-SI). SINDy-SI is an iterative method that uses Sum-of-Squares (SOS) programming to learn optimally fitted models while guaranteeing that the learned model satisfies side information, such as symmetries and physical laws. Guided by the principle of Occam's razor, that the simplest or most regularized best fitted model is typically the superior choice, during each iteration SINDy-SI prunes the basis functions associated with small coefficients, yielding a sparse dynamical model upon termination. Through several numerical experiments we will show how the combination of side information constraints and sparse polynomial representation cultivates dynamical models that obey known physical laws while displaying impressive generalized performance beyond the training set.
Enabling resilient autonomous motion planning requires robust predictions of surrounding road users' future behavior. In response to this need and the associated challenges, we introduce our model titled MTP-GO. T...

The transition towards electric aircraft is particularly challenging due to the relatively low specific energy densities of electrical energy storage systems. If electric aircraft are to be realised, flight paths must be optimised to take advantage of the unique features of electric propulsion systems. In this paper, the problem of determining the optimal flight trajectories for aircraft powered by a combination of a fuel cell stack and lithium-ion battery pack is considered. Particular emphasis is given to the role of the battery pack's temperature and in-flight charging requirements on the results. Solutions that minimise the fuel consumption and the flight time are first considered. For both cases, the optimal solution was observed to discharge the battery during the climb with only minimal in-flight recharging of the battery by the fuel cell. A scenario that requires a fast climb and descent and the battery to be charged upon arrival was identified and shown to lead to an oscillatory profile for optimal in-flight charging. These results demonstrate the potential of solving optimal control problems to generate tailored electric aircraft trajectories.

There has a been a growing interest in virtual laboratories as a supplement to hardware laboratories in supporting student learning and experience. This paper focuses specifically on virtual laboratories built using the MATLAB environment and highlights some recent developments. Specifically, these virtual laboratories aim to give users an overview of the core content of an entire 1st course in control in a single virtual laboratory interface. This paper highlights two such laboratories and shows how they can be used to supplement other learning resources and activities.

This paper considers the problem of static output feedback (SOF) synthesis for linear time-invariant (LTI) systems. Static output feedback, and more generally structured controller synthesis, is of special interest to any industrial application where a reduced-order controller is desired, e.g., high-order systems, or a specific structure is to be imposed, i.e., distributed/decentralised control. A simple two-step process is proposed, solving one Riccati equation and one optimisation problem with linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints, enabled via a dilation using the distance to the full-state feedback optimum gain. Numerical analysis shows considerable computational savings, with negligible differences in the performance, when compared to current iterative methods.
Modeling uncertainty has been an active and important topic in the fields of data-driven modeling and machine learning. Uncertainty ubiquitously exists in any data modeling process, making it challenging to identify t...

The Common Spatial Patterns (CSP) algorithm has shown great efficacy in extracting features for Brain-computer Interfaces (BCIs), particularly in motor imagery BCIs. However, CSP performs poorly when dealing with limited labeled data, which leads to long calibration time at the beginning of each session. To overcome this challenge, we leverage source data, i.e., labeled data from other subjects, to transfer knowledge across subjects. This work proposes a novel approach termed Scaled and Warped CSP-based Transfer Learning (SW-CSP-TL). This method aligns source data with the temporal and amplitude structure of target data before computing CSP filters, ensuring optimization for capturing discriminative features relevant to the target domain. We evaluate the proposed SW-CSP-TL algorithm using the publicly available dataset 2a from BCI Competition IV and compare its performance with that of the classical CSP algorithm and the transfer learning CSP algorithm (CSP-TL) without amplitude scaling and temporal warping. Our algorithm exhibits superior performance particularly when the training data size is relatively small. Results demonstrate that for 5 and 15 training trials per class from the target session, SW-CSP-TL outperformed the classical CSP by an average of 10%, and 8%, respectively.
