    Simulation and Experimental Results of a New Control Strategy For Point Stabilization of Nonholonomic Mobile Robots
    (IEEE, 2019-08-22) Farias, Gonzalo; Garcia, Gonzalo; Dormido Bencomo, Sebastián; Fábregas Acosta, Ernesto; Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Chaos García, Dictino; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    This article presents a closed-loop position control of a mobile robot, which is capable of moving from its current position to a target point by manipulating its linear and angular velocities. The main objective of this article is to modify an existing control law based on the kinematic model to improve the response when the robot is backwards oriented and to reach the destination point in less time and with a shorter trajectory. Stability of the proposed control law is validated by Lyapunov Criterion. Some procedures are implemented to test this approach both in simulation with MATLAB, and experimentally with the Khepera IV robot.

    Customized Online Laboratory Experiments: A General Tool and Its Application to the Furuta Inverted Pendulum [Focus on Education]
    (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-09-17) Galán Vicente, Daniel; Chaos García, Dictino; Torre Cubillo, Luis de la; Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Heradio Gil, Rubén
    Because of online laboratories (labs), students can perform experimental activities from their mobile devices and/or computers. This article proposes an experimentation environment (EE) that extends the capabilities of interactive online labs with scripting language support. Thus, control engineering students can specify complex experiments, avoid routine tasks, and empirically test controllers they made themselves.

    Optimisation of spectrum use by Mode S surveillance systems through coordinated DAP extraction
    (IEEE Xplore, 2024-10-17) Ceballos Gutierrez, Javier; Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Moreno Salinas, David; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6440-6120
    The cooperative surveillance systems used for air traffic management rely completely on air–ground transactions carried out in the 1030/1090 MHz frequency bands to fulfill their surveillance mission. However, these spectrum bands are currently subject to an excessive number of transactions that make difficult the access to the channels and often exceed the reply capabilities of aircraft transponders, which may impact air traffic capacity or even create safety risks. Several mitigation strategies have been studied in recent years to decrease the occupancy of the 1030/1090 MHz bands. Nevertheless, none of the proposed strategies have yet addressed the possibility of decreasing transactions related to downlinked aircraft parameters (DAP) extracted from transponder registers of aircraft. This work proposes and tests a methodology to coordinate the DAP extractions performed by several Mode S systems in order to avoid a high number of unnecessary transactions in the spectrum channels, while keeping the same level of information available at the endpoint of the surveillance chain.

    Control of a chain pendulum: A fuzzy logic approach
    (Taylor and Francis Group, 2016-02-12) Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Guinaldo Losada, María; Santos, Matilde; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    In this paper, we present a real application of computational intelligence. Fuzzy control of a non-linear rotary chain pendulum is proposed and implemented on real prototypes. The final aim is to obtain a larger region of attraction for the stabilization of this complex system, that is, a more robust controller. As it is well-known, fuzzy logic exploits the tolerance for imprecision, uncertainty and partial truth to achieve tractability, robustness and low solution cost when dealing with complex systems. In this case, the control strategy is based on a Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy model of the strongly non-linear multivariable system. Simulation and experimental results on the real plant have been obtained and tested in a rotary inverted pendulum and in a double rotary inverted pendulum. They have been compared to other feedback control strategies such as Full State Feedback or Linear Quadratic Regulator with encouraging results. Fuzzy control allows to enlarge the stability region of control. Indeed, the region of attraction and therefore the stabilization has been enlarged up to over 17% for the real system.

    Asynchronous periodic event-triggered control with dynamical controllers
    (Elsevier, 2018-04-20) Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Rodríguez, Carlos; Guinaldo Losada, María; Guzmán, José Luis; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    In this work, we study a networked control system under a periodic eventtriggered control strategy. In addition, the input and the output of the system are sampled with different rates, which enables to obtain a compromise between performance and waste of communication resources. Stability analysis and L2-gain analysis are carried out through Lyapunov-Krasovskii techniques. Simulation results of a quadruple-tank process show the benefits of the approach.

    Design of periodic event-triggered control for polynomial systems: A delay system approach
    (Elsevier, 2017-10-17) Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Abdelrahim, M.; Guinaldo Losada, María; Dormido Canto, Sebastián; Heemels, W.P.M.H.
    Event-triggered control is a control strategy which allows the savings of communication resources in networked control systems. In this paper, we are interested in periodic eventtriggering mechanisms in the sense that the triggering condition is only verified at predefined periodic sampling instants, which automatically ensures that Zeno behavior does not occur. We consider the case where both the output measurement and the control input are transmitted asynchronously using two independent triggering conditions. The developed result is dedicated to a class of nonlinear systems, where both the plant model and the feedback law can be described by polynomial functions. The overall problem is modeled and analyzed in the framework of time-delay systems, which allows to derive sum-of-squares (SOS) conditions to guarantee the global asymptotic stability in terms of the sampling period and the parameters of the triggering conditions. The approach is illustrated on a nonlinear numerical example.

    Distributed targeted distance-based formation control for mechanical systems
    (IEEE Xplore, 2020-07-20) Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Colombo, Leonardo J.; Guinaldo Losada, María
    This paper studies the problem of distributed targeted distance-based formation control for mechanical systems. The problem consists on finding a distributed control law such that if each agent observes a convex set as a targeted set, and also the relative position of their nearest neighbors, then the agents must achieve the desired formation in these sets while its velocities are driven to zero. We study the problem for agents with a time-delay communication in the measurements of the relative positions and where the motion of each agent is determined by a Lagrangian function. Simulation are given to validate the theoretical result.

    Decoupled feedforward-feedback periodic event-triggered control for disturbance rejection
    (Elsevier, 2021-04-14) Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Guinaldo Losada, María; Guzmán, José Luis; Dormido Canto, Sebastián
    In this paper, feedforward and feedback controllers are studied considering decoupled periodic event-triggering mechanisms for output and disturbance sensors. Stability and robustness conditions for linear systems are obtained considering transportation delays and actuator saturation following the Lyapunov-Krasovskii procedure. A numerical example shows that the proposed control strategy reduces the communication between sensors and controller significantly, while the system performance is not deteriorated.

    Distributed event-triggered flocking control of Lagrangian systems
    (IEEE, 2021-12-20) Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Colombo, Leonardo J.; Guinaldo Losada, María
    In this paper, an event-triggered control protocol is developed to investigate flocking control of Lagrangian systems, where event-triggering conditions are proposed to determine when the velocities of the agents are transmitted to their neighbours. In particular, the proposed controller is distributed, since it only depends on the available information of each agent on their own reference frame. In addition, we derive sufficient conditions to avoid Zeno behaviour. Numerical simulations are provided to show the effectiveness of the proposed control law.

    An anytime optimal control strategy for multi-rate systems
    (IEEE , 2017-02-20) Aranda Escolástico, Ernesto; Guinaldo Losada, María; Ángel Cuenca; Julián Salt; Dormido Canto, Sebastián; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4466-2666; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9640-2658
    In this work, we study a dual-rate system with fast-sampling at the input and propose a design to optimize the consecutive control signals. The objective of the optimization is to maximize the decay rate depending on the available resources to stabilize faster the control system. Stability conditions are enunciated in terms of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The control solution is extended to time delays. A numerical example illustrates the benefits of the control proposal.
