Source seeking for a three-link model of fish locomotion

Jennie Cochran, Eva Kanso, Miroslav Krstic
2009 2009 American Control Conference  
The control law employs extremum seeking, which is a non-model based method that has been used recently in "source seeking" control for nonholonomic mobile robots.  ...  We present a method of locomotion control for underwater vehicles which are propelled by a periodic deformation of the vehicle body, similar to the way a fish moves.  ...  Section IV presents the specifics of a three link body moving in a fluid, introduces an extremum seeking control law, and presents the results of applying the control to the fish model.  ...

Gradient Free Cooperative Seeking of a Moving Source [article]

Elad Michael, Chris Manzie, Tony A. Wood, Daniel Zelazo, Iman Shames
2022 arXiv   pre-print
We propose a composite control law, blending extremum seeking with formation control in order to converge to the extrema faster by minimising the gradient estimation error.  ...  In this paper, we consider the optimisation of a time varying scalar field by a network of agents with no gradient information.  ...  In [9, 38] , extremum seeking with a single agent is investigated relying only on the measurements of the scalar field, without usage of the agent's position.  ...

Examples of distance-based synchronization: An extremum seeking approach

Hans-Bernd Durr, Milos S. Stankovic, Karl Henrik Johansson, Christian Ebenbauer
2013 2013 51st Annual Allerton Conference on Communication, Control, and Computing (Allerton)  
The controller is based on an extremum seeking controller, that steers the overall system to the minimum of an optimization problem on a manifold.  ...  Using a Lie bracket approximation for extremum seeking systems, we show that the controller leads to a synchronization of the overall network in both examples.  ...  We demonstrated the potential use of extremum seeking on manifolds to solve synchronization problems.  ...
