[HTML][HTML] Overcoming local extrema in torque-actuated source seeking using the divergence theorem and delay

R Suttner, M Krstić - Automatica, 2024 - Elsevier
We study the problem of seeking the source of a scalar signal with a force-and torque-
controlled unicycle. The vehicle does not have the capability to measure or track its position …

Nonholonomic source seeking in three dimensions using pitch and yaw torque inputs

R Suttner, M Krstić - Systems & Control Letters, 2023 - Elsevier
We study the problem of source seeking without position measurements in three-
dimensional Euclidean space. The source-seeking agent is modeled by a second-order …

An observer-based extremum seeking controller design for a class of second-order nonlinear systems

SM Mousavi, M Guay - IEEE Control Systems Letters, 2024 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this letter, an extremum seeking controller (ESC) is designed for stabilization and output
minimization for a class of second-order control-affine nonlinear systems. The main difficulty …

Attitude optimization by extremum seeking for rigid bodies actuated by internal rotors only

R Suttner, M Krstić - … Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, we investigate the stabilizing effect of an extremum seeking control law on a
class of underactuated Lagrangian control systems with symmetry. Our study is motivated by …

Ants-inspired non-gradient based navigation of non-holonomic robots for environmental extremum seeking and tracking hidden paths

A Matveev, E Minuk, S Gusev… - 2023 8th International …, 2023 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
A Dubins-car like robot travels within an area in which an unknown scalar field exists. Only
