Dynamic optimization and optimal control problems form the backbone of numerous applications in engineering, economics and the natural sciences. These methodologies involve determining a time-varying ...

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) are used around the world to conduct difficult environmental, remote, oceanic, defense and rescue missions in often unpredictable and harsh conditions. A new study ...

A DC-DC Converter with fixed compensation parameters cannot perform well if load dynamics vary widely. A better approach is adaptive control, which can handle a broad range of parameter variations ...

Historically, the performance and power consumption of a system was controlled by what could be done at design time, but chips today are becoming a lot more adaptive. This has become a necessity for ...

Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) have emerged as critical components in the field of robotics, offering compact and ...

Modern semiconductor chip design faces growing complexity due to numerous timing scenarios driven by varying operating conditions and physical effects. This complexity is especially pronounced in ...

Like conventional cruise control, adaptive cruise control maintains a desired speed set by the driver. However, adaptive cruise control (often abbreviated as ACC) makes things more convenient by ...

More traffic lights in Renton will soon have vehicle detection technology to help alleviate traffic jams at busy intersections.
