Τίτλος: Adaptive Control by Regulation-Triggered Batch Least-Squares Estimation

Περίληψη:
The talk will involve the presentation of a recently proposed indirect, certainty-equivalence, event-triggered adaptive control scheme. The hybrid adaptive scheme is using a novel Batch Least-Squares Identifier (BaLSI), which is activated at the times of the events. The BaLSI guarantees the finite-time asymptotic constancy of the parameter estimates and the fact that the trajectories of the closed-loop system follow the trajectories of a nominal closed-loop system with known parameter values. Thus, if the nominal feedback guarantees global asymptotic stability and local exponential stability, then unlike conventional adaptive control, the newly proposed event-triggered adaptive scheme guarantees global asymptotic regulation with a uniform exponential convergence rate. The developed adaptive scheme is tested to the problem of the state regulation of the wing-rock model as well as to systems described by parabolic Partial Differential Equations. Comparisons with other adaptive schemes will also be provided for these particular problems. This is a joint work with Prof. Miroslav Krstic of University of California and Dr. Maria Kontorinaki of University of Malta.

Τίτλος: Sampled-data and Networked Control Systems: A Time-Delay Approach
 
Περίληψη:
A classical approach to sampled-data control is based on discretization, which looses an information on the inter-sampling behavior and performance. To avoid the latter problem, a time-delay approach to sampled-data control was introduced, where the system was modeled as a continuous-time system with the delayed input/output. The time-delay approach became popular in networked control systems, where the plant and the controller exchange data via communication network. In the present talk three main approaches to sampled-data control will be discussed. A recent extension of the time-delay approach to networked-control systems will be demonstrated, where variable sampling intervals, communication delays and protocol scheduling are taken into account. Also event-triggered control will be mentioned.
