This letter studies the adaptive optimal control problem for a wheel-legged robot in absence of an accurate dynamic model. A crucial strategy is to exploit recent advances reinforcement learning (RL) and programming (ADP) derive learning-based solution control. It shown that suboptimal controllers can be learned directly from input-state data collected along trajectories robot.

Modular Multilevel Converters in High Voltage Direct Current (MMC-HVDC) systems with Synchronous Reference Frame- Phase-Locked Loops (SRF-PLLs) have been extensively studied for power transmission networks. This paper investigates the impact of Short Circuit Ratio (SCR) and SRF-PLL bandwidth on small-signal stability grid-connected MMC-HVDC systems. Small-signal state-space models were established, through which impedance/admittance grid calculated. An impedance/admittance-based analysis...

To optimize a vehicle platoon system in terms of car-following behavior, decentralized model predictive control (MPC) strategy for longitudinal velocity was established (namely, CF-MPC).

Moreover, learning-based adaptive technique applied assist WBC such that controller can...
Existing vehicle-road models used for road tracking do not take into account the side slip angle, which leads to a reduction in accuracy scenarios where vehicle is at large such as an emergency lane change.
