Adaptive and augmented nonlinear filters : theory and applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Nonlinear estimation and filtering have been intensively studied for decades since it has been widely used in engineering and science such as navigation, ... -
Cooperative control of multi-agent systems with time-delays
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In this dissertation, we designed two cooperative control algorithms for multi-agent systems with time-delays. The first one is Robust Sliding-Mode ... -
Interpretable spectrum machine learning methods for materials identification and heat transfer tubes failure detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] High-throughput synthesis and rapid characterization techniques have shown great potential in accelerating the inverse design and discovery of new ... -
Learning-based wildfire tracking with unmanned aerial vehicles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)This project attempts to design a path planning algorithm for a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to track multiple spreading wildfire zones on a wildland. Due to the physical limitations of UAVs, the wildland is ... -
Material property prediction and structural inverse design with modern deep learning techniques
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] To manipulate the mechanical and physical properties of bulk materials, like metals, ceramics, and semiconductors, the introduction of structural ... -
Optimal control approaches for consensus and path planning in multi-agent systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)Optimal control is one of the most powerful, important and advantageous topics in control engineering. The two challenges in every optimal control problem are defining the proper cost function and obtaining the best method ... -
Skydiving control system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Skydiving, the act of a person jumping out of an airplane (or aircraft) and landing safely on the ground, has been a common practice since the early 1900's. Throughout the history of skydiving, skydivers have used parachutes ...
