How E. coli exploit fluid flow and channel shape to swim upstream and cause infections

"The UN estimates that by 2050, common bacterial infections could kill more people than cancer," says Arnold Mathijssen, a ...

Relaxed Control Barrier Function Based Control for Closest Approach by Underactuated USVs

Abstract: The use of automatic safety-critical control for uncrewed surface vessel (USV) survey, inspection and intervention can provide a computationally lightweight controller which guarantees that ...

Control valve discovered in gut's plumbing system may hold answers to constipation and diarrhea

Although constipation and diarrhea may seem like opposite problems, they both hinge on the same underlying issue: how much fluid moves into the gut. These common issues affect millions of people in ...

Observer-Based Environment Robust Control Barrier Functions for Safety-Critical Control With Dynamic Obstacles

Abstract: This letter proposes a safety-critical controller for dynamic and uncertain environments, leveraging a robust environment control barrier function (ECBF) to improve robustness against the ...
