  • Flying Insects and Robots

    Edited by Dario Floreano, Jean-Christophe Zufferey, Mandyam V. Srinivasan, Charlie Ellington ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    Flying insects are intelligent micromachines capable of exquisite maneuvers in unpredictable environments. Understanding these systems advances our knowledge of flight control, sensor suites, and unsteady aerodynamics, which is of crucial interest to engineers developing intelligent flying robots or micro air vehicles (MAVs). The insights we gain when synthesizing bioinspired systems can in turn ... Read more

  • Lasso-MPC – Predictive Control with ℓ1-Regularised Least Squares

    by Marco Gallieri ...
    Series series Engineering (R0)
    This thesis proposes a novel Model Predictive Control (MPC) strategy, which modifies the usual MPC cost function in order to achieve a desirable sparse actuation. It features an ℓ1-regularised least squares loss function, in which the control error variance competes with the sum of input channels magnitude (or slew rate) over the whole horizon length. While standard control techniques lead to ... Read more
