Abstract In this article, two new comparison principles for studying positive invariance and stability of linear and nonlinear discrete-time systems are presented. First, a general comparison principle enabling one to determine necessary and sufficient conditions of positive invariance of sets described by their “border surfaces” is developed. Then, a dual comparison principle describing the dynamics of the “vertices” of these sets is established. Both results can be used for the stability analysis and the control design of nonlinear systems.

In today's highly complex multi-AGV systems key research objective is finding a scheduling and routing policy that avoids deadlock while assuring that vehicle utilization is as high as possible. It is well known that finding such an optimal policy is a NP-hard task in general case. Therefore, big part of the research is oriented towards finding various suboptimal policies that can be applied to real world plants. In this paper we propose modified Banker's algorithm for scheduling in multi-AGV systems. A predetermined mission's path is executed in a way that some non-safe states are allowed in order to achieve better utilization of vehicles. A graph-based method of polynomial complexity for verification of these states is given. Algorithm is tested on a layout of a real plant for packing and warehousing palettes. Results shown at the end of the paper demonstrate advantages of the proposed method compared with other methods based on Banker's algorithm.

In this article we present a mathematical model of a spincopter -an inherently stable and easy to control unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Although the devised model represents only the first approximation of spincopter's physics, it captures basic phenomena that are sufficient for derivation and testing of a simple control algorithm. Results obtained by simulations in Simulink presented herein, demonstrate efficient performance of the proposed simple controller structure. Further tests, including investigation of complex aerodynamics effects and hardware-specified limitations, have been done using X-Plan software package. Finally, the proposed controller has been tested experimentally. Both, Xplane and experimental results confirmed the outcome from Simulink.

In this paper nonlinear time-varying and bilinear discrete-time systems with additive bounded disturbances are considered. First, conditions guaranteeing uniform ultimate boundedness for time-varying nonlinear systems are established. Then, algebraic conditions ensuring the existence of polyhedral Lyapunov functions, uniform boundedness and positive invariance for closed-loop bilinear systems are obtained. Finally, these results are applied to various robust stabilization problems for bilinear systems subject to persistent additive disturbances. It is shown that these problems can be reduced to a single or a series of linear programming problems.

The robust adaptive control of tilt-rotor aircraft is addressed using backstepping and θ-D based control design techniques. The designs specifically focus on providing high robustness to time-varying system parameters and disturbance effects from the environment to attain good disturbance attenuation properties in highly aerodynamically challenging environments such as shipboard environments. The control system is structured with a modular architecture combining adaptive backstepping and adaptive θ-D control algorithms and provides flexibility and customizability for various tilt-rotor aircraft configurations and operating environments. The overall control system and its constituent algorithms are designed to either be able to operate on their own to provide fully autonomous flight or to operate in conjunction with a human pilot or an existing baseline controller in a control augmentation fashion to provide additional robustness and reliability improvements under severe aerodynamic disturbance conditions. The robustness, stability, and performance of the proposed control algorithms are demonstrated through simulation based studies.
