Design and evaluation of a real-time fuel-optimal control system for series hybrid electric vehicles
(Inderscience publishers, 2012)We propose a real-time optimal controller that will reduce fuel consumption in a series hybrid electric vehicle (HEV). This real-time drive cycle-independent controller is designed using a control-oriented model and ... -
Near Optimal H-Infinity Performance in the Decentralized Setting
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-15)In this thesis we consider the use of a linear periodic controller (LPC) for the control of linear time-invariant (LTI) plants in the decentralized setting with an H-infinity performance criterion in mind. If a plant has ... -
Optimal Control and Multibody Dynamic Modelling of Human Musculoskeletal Systems
(University of Waterloo, 2013-05-23)Musculoskeletal dynamics is a branch of biomechanics that takes advantage of interdisciplinary models to describe the relation between muscle actuators and the corresponding motions of the human body. Muscle forces play ... -
A Potential Field-Based Model Predictive Path-Planning Controller for Autonomous Road Vehicles
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2016-09-26)Artificial potential fields and optimal controllers are two common methods for path planning of autonomous vehicles. An artificial potential field method is capable of assigning different potential functions to different ... -
Reconfigurable Integrated Vehicle Stability Control Using Optimal Control Techniques
(University of Waterloo, 2017-09-15)The motivation for the development of vehicle stability control systems comes from the fact that vehicle dynamic behavior in unfavorable driving conditions such as low road-tire adhesion and high speed differs greatly from ... -
Temporal Segmentation of Human Motion for Rehabilitation
(University of Waterloo, 2017-04-27)Current physiotherapy practice relies on visual observation of patient movement for assessment and diagnosis. Automation of motion monitoring has the potential to improve accuracy and reliability, and provide additional ...
