Experimental nonlinear identification of a pantograph model using CBC techniques
This thesis focuses on the nonlinear identification of a railway pantograph using Control-Based Continuation (CBC), a class of experimental techniques that enables the reconstruction of the nonlinear frequency response of a system under closed-loop operation. The goal is to develop and validate a methodology to identify the main nonlinear features of the pantograph, such as…

Design and testing of novel adaptive control systems for UAVs
The Advanced Control Systems Lab at Virginia Tech is seeking enthusiastic graduate students (M.S. and Ph.D. level) interested in a research experience in the United States. Research projects involve the design and testing of novel adaptive control systems. Numerical simulations will be performed in a high-fidelity simulation environment for UAVs, and experiments will be…
