This paper deals with the stabilization of a new open-loop unstable non-linear
biomechanical model to represent a person living with a spinal cord injury. The …

Few biomechanical models of sitting stability have been proposed over the last decades and
most of them control the trunk position through a lumbar torque. Unfortunately, this type of …

Nonlinear Observer used in a Cascade Control scheme for Maximum Power Point Tracking
goals of a grid-tied singlephase photovoltaic inverter. The main contribution of this work is to …

The design of primary control schemes based on Takagi-Sugeno Models (TS) and Linear
Matrix Inequalities (LMI) for an islanded AC Microgrid (MG) is presented. The MG converters …

People with spinal cord injury (SCI) suffer from a drastic reduction in sitting stability which
negatively impacts their postural control. Thus, sitting balance becomes one of the most …

Mobility using wheelchair is a crucial feature for disabled people. Between a manual
wheelchair and an electric wheelchair, there is a very interesting and promising solution …

Due to the world's aging population, the development of affordable and easy to use
wheelchairs is becoming a priority. In this study, the control of an automated wheelchair is …

This chapter investigates state feedback design for models with a convex structure such as
TS, polynomial, and descriptor; LFT is left for the next chapter. Similar to stability analysis …

This paper is concerned with the design of an application-oriented control law for a
biomechanical model of people living with spinal cord injury sitting stability. A major difficulty …

This work presents sufficient conditions for stability analysis and fuzzy controller synthesis
for nonlinear descriptor systems represented by TS fuzzy models subject to input delay. The …
