         in Room 117 EE Building:                                      
                                                                       
             Tracking and Robustness Analysis for UAVs with Bounded    
                                   Feedbacks                           
                                                                       
                               Aleksandra Gruszka                      
             Department of Mathematics, Louisiana State University     
                                                                       
         Abstract--We study a kinematic model that is suitable for     
         control design for high level formation flight of UAVs. We    
         design controllers that give robust global tracking for a wide
         class of reference trajectories in the sense of input-to-state
         stability while satisfying given amplitude and rate           
         constraints on the inputs. We illustrate our work in          
         simulations.                                                  
                                                                       
         Bio--Aleksandra Gruszka received her MS in applied probability
         and mathematical statistics from Uniwersytet Wroclawski in    
         Poland, and is a doctoral candidate in systems and controls in
         the LSU mathematics department. Her research lies at the      
         interface of applied mathematics and control engineering,     
         focusing on the design of controllers for nonlinear models    
         that ensure good controller performance under uncertainty in  
         the sense of input-to-state stability and other important     
         criteria. She received a Best Presentation in the Session     
         award at the 2011 American Control Conference, and was        
         selected as one of the 12 US graduate students who will       
         present their research in the Association for Women in        
         Mathematics sessions at the 2012 Joint Mathematics Meetings.  
         She has served as a referee for the Asian Journal of Control  
         and for Automatica.
