      Bitar, Glenn Ivan; Vestad, Vegard Nitter; Lekkas, Anastasios M.; Breivik, Morten (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      We consider warm-started optimized trajectory planning for autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) by combining the advantages of two types of planners: an A* implementation that quickly finds the shortest piecewise linear path, ...
    • Waste incineration: Optimal control of process dominated by delay and uncertainty 

      Jørn Bøni Hofstad (Master thesis, 2020)
      Forbrenning av restavfall2 er en ganske kompleks prosess, som er preget av å ha både lange og korte tidskonstanter, flere refferanser som skal følges samtidig, i tillegg til ikke-minimum fase-responser og store forstyrrelser ...

      Liljeback, Pål; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      This paper considers path following control of snake robots and has two contributions. The first contribution is a description of how a straight line path following controller previously proposed by the authors can be ...
    • Waypoint-Following Guidance Based on Feasibility Algorithms 

      Jensen, Tor Marius (Master thesis, 2011)
      Unmanned vehicles have become more applicable due to extended research and more advanced technology through the last decades. The vehicles are versatile, hence studying ocean floor and reconnaissance and surveillance are ...
    • Weather optimal dynamic positioning of underactuated AUVs using output feedback control 

      Refsnes, Jon E Gorset; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Pettersen, Kristin Ytterstad (Journal article, 2006)
      In this paper we present an output feedback control system for dynamic positioning of underactuated AUVs. The control objective is to maintain a desired distance to the target while orienting the vehicle towards the target ...

    • Well Models for Production Optimization 

      Arianson, Marte (Master thesis, 2008)
      In coupled reservoir simulations a model of a reservoir and the production system are joined together to obtain realistic responses. One way of performing production optimization is to make use of a gas oil ratio (GOR) ...

      Petersen, Idar (Dr. ingeniøravhandling, 0809-103X; 2003:43, Doctoral thesis, 2003)
      In a conventional antilock brake system (ABS), the wheel slip will oscillate around a "critical slip" within some given thresholds. This oscillation will have as side effects a noticeable vibration for the driver and ...
