Science in pictures To the point: Predictive path following with arrival time awareness for waterborne AGVs "Large ports are seeking innovative logistical ways to improve their competitiveness worldwide. This article proposes waterborne AGVs, inspired by conventional AGVs and Autonomous Surface Vessels, for transport over water. A predictive path following with arrival time awareness controller is proposed for such waterborne AGVs. The controller is able to achieve smooth tracking and energy efficiency w..." [More...] Predictive path following with arrival time awareness for waterborne AGVs. H. Zheng, R.R. Negenborn, G.

Inland corridors become increasingly interconnected in hinterland networks. To minimize operating costs, new methods are required that allow integral network operations management. The network operations consist of allocating containers to available inland transportation services, i.e. planning. Fo..." [More...] Impact and relevance of transit disturbances on planning in intermodal container networks. B. van Riessen, R.R. Negenborn, G. Lodewijks, R. Dekker.

In contrast to centralized approaches, we consider the distributed case where each robot has an on-board computation unit to solve a local NMPC problem and can communicate with other robots in its neighborhood. We show that, thanks to tailored interactions (i.e., int..." [More...] Coordination of multiple vessels via distributed nonlinear model predictive control. L. Ferranti, R.R. Negenborn, T. Keviczky, J. Alonso-Mora. In Proceedings of the 17th European Control Conference (ECC 2018), Limassol, Cyprus, pp. 2523-2528, June 2018.    Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems "The optimal operation of an integrated electricity and natural gas system is investigated. The couplings between these two systems are modeled by energy hubs, which serve as interface between the loads and the transmission infrastructures. Previously, we have applied a distributed control scheme to a static three-hub benchmark system. In this paper, we propose an extension of this distributed cont..." [More...] Multi-area predictive control for combined electricity and natural gas systems. M. Arnold, R.R. Negenborn, G.
