11. Estimation of Nonlinear Dynamic Systems : Theory and Applications
Abstract : This thesis deals with estimation of states and parameters in nonlinear and non-Gaussian dynamic systems. Sequential Monte Carlo methods are mainly used to this end. These methods rely on models of the underlying system, motivating some developments of the model concept. READ MORE

12. Methods for Stochastic Optimal Control under State Constraints
Abstract : This thesis looks at a few different approaches to solving stochas-tic optimal control problems with state constraints. The motivatingproblem is optimal control of an energy buffer in a hybrid vehicle,although applications are abundant in a number of areas. READ MORE

13. Underactuated mechanical systems : Contributions to trajectory planning, analysis, and control
Abstract : Nature and its variety of motion forms have inspired new robot designs with inherentunderactuated dynamics. The fundamental characteristic of these controlled mechanicalsystems, called underactuated, is to have the number of actuators less than the number ofdegrees of freedom. READ MORE

14. Nonlinear Control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles : Systems With an Attitude
Abstract : This thesis deals with the general problem of controlling rigid-body systems through space, with a special focus on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Several promising UAV control algorithms have been developed over the past decades, enabling truly astounding feats of agility when combined with modern sensing technologies. READ MORE

15. Complexity-aware Decision-making with Applications to Large-scale and Human-in-the-loop Systems
Abstract : This thesis considers control systems governed by autonomous decision-makers and humans. We formalise and compute low-complex control policies with applications to large-scale systems, and propose human interaction models for controllers to compute interaction-aware decisions. READ MORE
