Single Network Adaptive Critic aided nonlinear dynamic inversion for suboptimal command tracking

Lakshmikanth, Geethalakshmi S.; Padhi, Radhakant; Watkins, John Michael; Steck, James E. (IEEE, 2011-09-28)

Using the Approximate Dynamic Programming (ADP) approach, nonlinear optimal control problems can be solved by using a dual neural network architecture called the Adaptive Critic (AC). A Single Network Adaptive Critic (SNAC) ...
Study of mobile mixed sensing networks in an automotive context

Chakravarthy, Animesh; Song, Kyungyeol; Peraire, Jaime; Feron, Eric (Springer, 2012)

Mixed sensing mobile networks comprise of mobile sensors that have different sensing capabilities. We look at such sensor networks in an automotive context; wherein automobiles with two levels of sensing (and consequently ...
Target tracking strategies for a nonlinear, flexible aircraft-inspired model

Chakravarthy, Animesh; Evans, Katie A.; Evers, Johnny; Kuhn, Lisa M. (IEEE, 2011-06-29)

Aeroelastic wing micro aerial vehicle (MAV) concepts are being explored for military and civilian applications. However, on the whole, the issues of control of MAVs are largely unexplored. The authors seek to employ ...
Time-varying dynamics of a micro air vehicle with variable-sweep morphing

Chakravarthy, Animesh; Grant, Daniel T.; Lind, Rick (The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2012-05)

In this paper, the longitudinal dynamics of a fast-morphing, variable-wing-sweep micro air vehicle are investigated from a flight dynamics perspective. The time scales over which the morphing occurs are of the same order ...
