The affine formation maneuver control problem of a leader-follower type multi-agent systems with the directed interaction graphs is studied in this paper. This paper firstly gives and proves a sufficient and necessary condition of achieving the affine localizability. Then, under the(d + 1)-reachable condition of the given d-dimensional nominal formation with d + 1 leaders, a formation of agents can be reshaped in arbitrary dimension by only controlling these leaders. In the sequel, a novel distributed control method for the followers with single-integrator dynamics is proposed to achieve the desired time-varying maneuvers, and the global stability is also proved. Corresponding simulations are carried out to verify the theoretical results,which show that these followers are tracking the time-varying references accurately and continuously.

This paper presents a method of state estimation for uncertain nonlinear systems described by multiple models approach. The uncertainties, supposed as norm bounded type, are caused by some parameters' variations of the nonlinear system. Linear matri~ inequalities (LMIs) have been established in order to ensure the stability conditions of the multiple observer which lead to determine the estimation gains. A sliding mode gain has been added in order to compensate the uncertainties. Numerical simulations through a state space model of a real process have been realized to show the robustness of the synthesized observer.

Extremum seeking control (ESC) is a classical adaptive control method for steady-state optimization, purely based on output feedback and without the need for a plant model. It is well known that the extremum seeking control loop, under certain mild conditions on the controller, has a stable stationary periodic solution in the vicinity of an extremum point of the steady-state input-output map of the plant. However, this is a local result only and this paper investigates whether this solution is necessarily unique given that the underlying optimization problem is convex. Wefirst derive a necessary condition that any stationary solution of the ESC loop must satisfy. For plants in which the extremum point is due to a purely static nonlinearity, such as in Hammerstein or Wiener plants, the condition involves the steady-state gradient. However, for more general plants the necessary condition involves the phase lag of the locally linearized plant, indicating the possible existence of solutions without any relationship to optimality. Combining the derived necessary condition with the existence of a local solution close to the optimum, we employ the implicit function theorem and bifurcation theory to trace out branches of stationary solutions for varying loop parameters. The focus is on solutions corresponding to limit cycles of the same period as the forcing. We derive conditions on when these branches bifurcate, resulting in multiple stationary solutions. The results show that cyclic fold bifurcations may exist, resulting in the existence of multiple stationary period one solutions, of which only one is related to the optimality conditions. We illustrate the results through an example in which the conversion in a chemical reactor is optimized using ESC. We show that at least_ve stationary solutions may exist simultaneously for realistic control parameters, and that several of these solutions are stable. One consequence of the non-uniqueness is that one in general needs to

Lattice-based motion planners are an established method to generate feasible motions for car-like vehicles. However, the solution paths can only reach a discretized approximation of the intended goal pose. Moreover, they can be optimal only with respect to the actions available to the planner, which can result in paths with excessive steering. These drawbacks have a negative impact when used in real systems. In this paper we address both drawbacks by integrating a steering method into a state-of-the-art lattice-based motion planner. Un- like previous approaches, in which path optimization happens in an a posteriori step after the planner has found a solution, we propose an interleaved execution of path planning and path optimization. The proposed approach can run in real-time and is implemented in a full-size autonomous truck, and we show experimentally that it is able to greatly improve the quality of the solutions provided by a lattice planner.
We present a trajectory generation framework for control of wheeled vehicles under steering actuator constraints. The motivation is smooth driving of autonomous heavy-duty vehicles, which are characterized by slow act...
