Adaptive Control and Application for Nonlinear Systems With Input Nonlinearities and Unknown Virtual Control Coefficients.

This article is devoted to an adaptive tracking control problem for nonlinear systems with input deadzone and saturation, whose virtual control coefficients include the known and unknown terms. A novel smooth function is first introduced to approximate the input nonlinearities. By utilizing an auxiliary variable and the Nussbaum gain technique, an improved real control signal is constructed to handle the uncertainties of the virtual control coefficients and input nonlinearities.

Event-triggered adaptive tracking control for uncertain nonlinear systems based on a new funnel function.

This paper focuses on the problem of event-triggered funnel control for strict-feedback nonlinear systems with unknown parameters. For the first time, an adjustable funnel function is proposed, whose parameters can be adjusted online according to the change of tracking error. Furthermore, based on event-triggered control, an adaptive event-triggered funnel controller is constructed, which guarantees that all the signals in the closed-loop system are bounded.

Adaptive Absolute Ego-Motion Estimation Using Wearable Visual-Inertial Sensors for Indoor Positioning.

This paper proposes an adaptive absolute ego-motion estimation method using wearable visual-inertial sensors for indoor positioning. We introduce a wearable visual-inertial device to estimate not only the camera ego-motion, but also the 3D motion of the moving object in dynamic environments. Firstly, a novel method dynamic scene segmentation is proposed using two visual geometry constraints with the help of inertial sensors.
