Robotic manipulators are electronically controlled mechanical devices with several links,
which are used to perform any specific task under certain circumstances. However, the …

In this study, we present a general formulation for the optimal control problem to a class of
fuzzy fractional differential systems relating to SIR and SEIR epidemic models. In particular …

This paper discusses an experiment-based approach to teaching an advanced control
engineering syllabus involving controlled plant analysis and modeling, control structures …

Combined plant and control design (control co-design (CCD)) methods are often used
during product development to address the synergistic coupling between the plant and …

We study the optimal control problem of maximizing the spread of an information epidemic
on a social network. Information propagation is modeled as a susceptible-infected (SI) …

In this paper, nonlinear optimal control schemes are proposed to reduce transferring time,
energy consumption, and residual vibration for the payload's skew rotation process of crane …

Speed advisory systems have been used for connected vehicles to optimize energy
consumption. However, for their practical utilization, presence of preceding vehicles and …

Reliability-based control co-design (RBCCD) formulations have been developed for the
design of stochastic dynamic systems. To address the limitations of their current …

Limited capacity and short life cycle of a battery are the major impediments in development
of practical Electric Vehicles (EVs). Eco-driving is an optimization technique through which a …

Adjoint-based gradient computations for oil reservoirs have been increasingly used in
closed-loop reservoir management optimizations. Most constraints in the optimizations are …
