In the last four decades several methods have been used to model occupants' presence and
actions (OPA) in buildings according to different purposes, available computational power …

Non-contact ink writing techniques are a newly developed three-dimensional printing
technology to fabricate customized and flexible electronic devices, while dramatically …

This book categorizes the wide area of data-driven model-free controllers, reveals the exact
benefits of such controllers, gives the in-depth theory and mathematical proofs behind them …

Manufacturing equipment and scientific instruments, including wafer scanners, printers,
microscopes, and medical imaging scanners, require accurate and fast motions. An increase …

Recently, machine learning has gained considerable attention in noncontact direct ink
writing because of its novel process modeling and optimization techniques. Unlike …

Data-driven predictive control (DDPC) has been recently proposed as an effective
alternative to traditional model-predictive control (MPC) for its unique features of being time …

In this paper, we introduce a data-driven control design method that does not rely on a
model of the plant. The method is inspired by the Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning …

The frequency response data of a system is used to design fixed-structure controllers for the
ℋ 2 and ℋ∞ synthesis problem. The minimization of the two and infinity norm of the transfer …

In the eyes of many control scientists, the theory of the scenario approach is a tool for
determining the sample size in certain randomized control-design methods, where an …

A recurring question that all authors of this special issue encounter is,“Why not go with
models?” Two terms need to be clarified: In this context, a model is understood as a …
