Very large scale integration (VLSI) is the process of combining thousands of resistors on a single integrated chip. VLSI technology is now more prevalent than ever as all our devices utilize integrated chips. This project ...

This project proposes that a low cost programmable logic controller (PLC) for advanced control applications such as model predictive control (MPC) problems. This PLC will use a successive overrelaxation (SOR)-like method ...

An important class of nonlinear control systems can be represented as the feedback interconnection of two parts: a linear time-invariant system and a block of decentralized nonlinearities. When the linear time-invariant ...

Embedded control for resource-constrained, safety-critical and cyber-physical systems has recently received much interest from the engineering community. This work focuses on fast implementation of embedded control algorithms ...

This project proposes an iterative first-order gradient method for solving convex quadratic programming problems, which involve the optimization of a quadratic function with multiple variables subject to linear constraints. ...

An analog neural network is designed to efficiently solve the proposed dynamic multivariable algebraic loop representation of a constrained control problem. The neural network is formulated by introducing dynamics into the ...
