Nonlinear Control Algorithms for Uninhibited Aerial Vehicles

Abstract

Due to the graduation of the initial student funded under this grant (Jim Primbs), several students received paritical support from this award. The main accomplishments under this grant were: Development of the theory and preliminary algorithms for model predictive control using control Lyapunov functions as terminal constraints. This work was performed by Jim Primbs and Ali Jadbabaie. Implementation of control algorithms for control of a material processing system for growth of superconducting thigs film. This work was performed by Martha Gallicvan, Lars Cremean and Melvin Flores.
