2. 1. Modeling, Control and Optimization of a Plate Reactor

   Author : Staffan Haugwitz; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; mid-ranging control; transition control; start-up; exothermic reaction; chemical reactor; modeling; process control; optimization; Automation; robotics; control engineering; Automatiska system; robotteknik; reglerteknik;

   Abstract : A new chemical reactor, the Alfa Laval Plate Reactor, is being developed by Alfa Laval, a Swedish world-leading heat exchanger company. The plate reactor combines the high-heat-transfer capabilities of plate heat exchangers with the efficient mixing and reaction control typical of microreactors. READ MORE

4. 2. Planning and Control of Uncertain Cooperative Mobile Manipulator-Endowed Systems under Temporal Logic Tasks

   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multi-agent systems; cooperative manipulation; formation control; temporal logic; motion planning; adaptive control; funnel control; navigation; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : Control and planning of multi-agent systems is an active and increasingly studied topic of research, with many practical applications such as rescue missions, security, surveillance, and transportation. This thesis addresses the planning and control of multi-agent systems under temporal logic tasks. READ MORE

5. 3. Coordination, Consensus and Communication in Multi-robot Control Systems

   Author : Alberto Speranzon; Karl Henrik Johansson; George J. Pappas; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Multi-robot Coordination; Intelligent Control; Control under Communication Constraints; Automatic control; Reglerteknik;

   Abstract : Analysis, design and implementation of cooperative control strategies for multi-robot systems under communication constraints is the topic of this thesis. Motivated by a rapidly growing number of applications with networked robots and other vehicles, fundamental limits on the achievable collaborative behavior are studied for large teams of autonomous agents.

6. 4. Gradient Methods for Large-Scale and Distributed Linear Quadratic Control

   Author : Karl Mårtensson; Institutionen för reglerteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Large-Scale Control; Distributed Control; Linear Quadratic Gaussian Control; Gradient method; Controller Synthesis;

   Abstract : This thesis considers methods for synthesis of linear quadratic controllers for large-scale, interconnected systems. Conventional methods that solve the linear quadratic control problem are only applicable to systems with moderate size, due to the rapid increase in both computational time and memory requirements as the system size increases.

7. 5. Distributed Optimization and Control : Primal--Dual, Online, and Event-Triggered Algorithms

   Author : Xinlei Yi; Karl H. Johansson; Dimos V. Dimarogonas; John S. Baras; Antonis Papachristodoulou; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Distributed nonconvex optimization; distributed online convex optimization; distributed event-triggered control; primal-dual algorithm; stochastic gradient descent; zeroth-order algorithm; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

   Abstract : In distributed optimization and control, each network node performs local computation based on its own information and information received from its neighbors through a communication network to achieve a global objective. Although many distributed optimization and control algorithms have been proposed, core theoretical problems with important practical relevance remain. READ MORE
