We propose an approach to finding the roots of systems of quadratic equations in a box. This approach is based on a reduction to an auxiliary optimization problem. The auxiliary problem turns out to be, in general, a ...

Abstract Monotonic convergence of linear iterative learning control (ILC) systems with changing pass length is considered. The maximum pass length (MPL) error is introduced as a useful concept for convergence analysis of this class of systems. Using the lifted-system framework, a both necessary and sufficient monotonic convergence criterion is found for the 1-norm of the MPL error. Further findings on 2-norm and ∞-norm convergence are added. Finally, an example system is given, i.e. the control of an electrical stimulation system for gait assistance, and simulation results are provided.

The problem of planning a finite time transition of a trajectory from a non-stationary point to a stationary set-point is addressed. As opposed to standard approaches, where the transition functions are polynomials, the specific choice of non-analytic function proposed may easily be trimmed to show no overshoot and only an adjustable undershoot during transition. The main result is a recursive formula for a simple parametrization of the transition function, as needed in tracking problems. Two examples underscore the ease of the approach.

Disorders of the central nervous system like stroke often lead to a paresis of the muscles responsible for dorsiflexion and eversion of the foot during swing phase. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is commonly used to improve the foot movement. A precise placement of two single surface electrodes on the shank as well as a manual tuning of heel-switch triggered stimulation is required when using standard drop-foot stimulators. In this work, the use of automatically tuned array electrodes for selective nerve/muscle stimulation and the application of iterative learning control for adjusting stimulation intensities are investigated with the aim to obtain an optimal foot movement. The stimulation effect is observed by means of two inertial measurement units mounted on the foot and shank, respectively. Two array electrodes are placed over the areas covering the peroneal nerve and the muscle tibialis anterior. A fast identification procedure finds three suitable sets of array elements, forming so-called virtual electrodes, in both arrays. Two stimulation channels are established over the three virtual electrodes. Both channels produce dorsiflexion, but one promotes eversion and the other inversion. A decoupling matrix is applied to the stimulation intensities of both channels in order to obtain independent control over dorsiflexion and eversion. Finally, two independent iterative learning controllers are employed to achieve desired angle profiles. The proposed stimulation and control scheme is initially tested on a healthy person sitting on a table with the shank and foot free to swing. A tracking RMS error of less than one degree is achieved within six walking steps.

In this paper, we address the problem of an autonomous robotic vehicle collecting a finite but unknown number of objects with non-negligible masses and unknown locations in a restricted area and moving them to a particular spot in minimum time. An adaptive certainty-equivalent navigation and control policy is introduced based on a pick-up and an exploration/drop-off mode. While the input signal in pick-up mode is easily obtained in real time, complete exploration and drop-off corresponds to a hybrid optimal control problem (OCP) with exponential complexity in the finitely discretized space. We propose a trajectory planning algorithm by restricting the motion of the robot to a finite weighted graph. Further, we describe a discrete-time approximation of the hybrid OCP and compare both approaches with respect to computational complexity and accuracy.
