In this paper, new results for passivation and stabilization of discrete-time nonlinear systems via energy balancing are established. When specified on sampled-data systems, the approach is constructive for computing stabilizing digital controllers that assign, at all sampling instants, a target...

In this paper, on the basis of a recently proposed discrete-time port-Hamiltonian representation of sampled-data dynamics, we propose a new time-varying digital feedback for steering mobile robots. The quality of the proposed passivity-based control is validated and compared through simulations...

The paper deals with topology-induced containment output feedback for ensuring multi-consensus of homogeneous linear systems evolving over a weakly connected communication digraph. Starting from the extension of a recent characterization of multi-consensus, a decentralized static feedback enforcing...

This letter deals with interconnection and damping assignment for discrete-time port-Hamiltonian systems. Based on a novel state representation, suitably shaped to address energy-based control design, the nonlinear discrete-time controller is characterized and the solution is explicitly computed in...

The problem of Entity relation discovery in structured data, a well covered topic in literature, consists in searching within unstructured sources (typically, text) in order to find connections among entities. These can be a whole dictionary, or a specific collection of named items. In many cases...

Multidimensional times series prediction is a challenging task. Only recently the increased data availability has made it possible to tackle with such problems. In this work we devised a novel method to exploit the multiple correlated features in the time series. The recurrent neural networks and...

Deep neural networks are the driving force of the recent explosion of machine learning applications in everyday life. However, they usually require a lot of training data to work well, and they act as black-boxes, making predictions without any explanation about them. This paper presents Memory...

Melanoma is the deadliest form of skin cancer. Early diagnosis of malignant lesions is crucial for reducing mortality. The use of deep learning techniques on dermoscopic images can help in keeping track of the change over time in the appearance of the lesion, which is an important factor for...

Efficient robotic behaviors require robustness and adaptation to dynamic changes of the environment, whose characteristics rapidly vary during robot operation. To generate effective robot action policies, planning and learning techniques have shown the most promising results. However, if considered...

This paper proposes a methodology to design the biomethane production chain from MSW at the regional level and to assess the environmental and economic performance of the chain. In the design phase, the following parameters are considered: number and production capacity of biomethane plants,...
