In the building climate control area, the linear model predictive control (LMPC)—nowadays considered a mature technique—benefits from the fact that the resulting optimization task is convex (thus easily and quickly solvable). On the other hand, while nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) using a more detailed nonlinear model of a building takes advantage of its more accurate predictions and the fact that it attacks the optimization task more directly, it requires more involved ways of solving the non-convex optimization problem. In this paper, the gap between LMPC and NMPC is bridged by introducing several variants of linear time-varying model predictive controller (LTVMPC). Making use of linear time-varying model of the controlled building, LTVMPC obtains predictions which are closer to reality than those of linear time invariant model while still keeping the optimization task convex and less computationally demanding than in the case of NMPC. The concept of LTVMPC is verified on a set of numerical experiments performed using a high fidelity model created in a building simulation environment and compared to the previously mentioned alternatives (LMPC and NMPC) looking at both the control performance and the computational requirements.

In the paper we deal with control of spatially invariant systems described by parabolic partial differential equations with one temporal and one spatial variables. We propose an algorithm for design of deadbeat controllers. The algorithm is based on polynomial methods. It consists in solving a linear equation with bi-variate polynomials. Numerical example and simulations are included.

A method for defining output functions for a considered system is proposed such that asymptotic stability of zero dynamics is guaranteed. The basic idea is finding a suitable feedback controller and then calculating its related new output function. A key feature of the proposed method is that no transforming into a normal form is needed.

The infinite dimensionality, varying, uncertainties or even unknown boundary conditions render the derivation and - in particular - the identification of accurate dynamics models for elastic link robots tedious and error prone. This contribution circumvents these challenges by the prior application of a model-free inner loop oscillation damping controller before modelling the robot's dynamics. Then, the damped dynamics of a multi elastic link robot arm under gravity can be modelled with high accuracy. An analytical and a data-driven model for the damped dynamics are proposed and quantitatively compared. Both models can explain motor currents as well as link strain measurements in real-time. The paper includes an experimental model validation with different payloads in the entire workspace of the robot.
In this paper, two alternatives approaches to model predictive control (MPC) are compared and contrasted for the role of zone temperature controller - the commonly used linear formulation (LMPC) and rather unconventio...

In this paper, we present a distributed estimation setup where local agents estimate their states from relative measurements received from their neighbours. In the case of heterogeneous multi-agent systems, where only relative measurements are available, this is of high relevance. The objective is to improve the scalability of the existing distributed estimation algorithms by restricting the agents to estimating only their local states and those of immediate neighbours. The presented estimation algorithm also guarantees robust performance against model and measurement disturbances. It is shown that it can be integrated into output synchronization algorithms.
In this paper, an explicit distributed model predictive control method for a class of linear system with control information coupling by means of multi-parametric programming is established. In order to get close to t...

A new multi-agent based congestion evacuation model is proposed in this paper to simulate the pedestrian evacuation process in stadium with or without obstacles, in which each agent's state can be normal, being overtaked and dead. In this model, all the pedestrians are divided into four kinds and each kind has six different classes of competitive ability. The individual action direction is affected by their competitive ability, the distance to the exits and the occupant number and density within the view field of the agent. In the simulation, we present the congestion and death phenomenon as well as the effects of obstacles in evacuation process. We also add a virtual leader to regulate the evacuation effectively. Simulation results show that the proposed model can reproduce exactly the real evacuation process in stadium.

Underactuated mechanical systems are systems with less actuators than degrees of freedom. Therefore, it is complicated to measure all states, i.e. angular positions or angular velocities, of the mechanical system. Alternative solution consists in an observer design such that unmeasurable states are estimated. For this purpose, a high gain observer for an Acrobot was introduced. By virtue of an Acrobot embedding into a 4-link model, the high gain observer was simply extended and applied to the 4-link model. The main aim of this paper consists in a coupling of a method of the Acrobot embedding into the 4-link model and the high gain observer design for the Acrobot. The coupling results in an observer for the 4-link model with the same structure as the already developed high gain observer for the Acrobot model. The control of the 4-link model using the embedding method is based on a definition of constraining functions for knees control whereas the remaining angle in the hip is controlled in the same way as it would be an Acrobot's angle. The ability of feedback tracking of the walking-like trajectory of the 4-link with observed geometry during a swing phase of a single step is demonstrated in simulations.
