Course content
This course provides basic knowledge and tools for designing an adaptive controller and an optimal controller. These control strategies are effective for stabilization, regulation, or tracking control for real system. For easy comprehension, mathematical and system control preliminaries such as signal norm, linear control theory, system stability and matrix-vector operations so on are reviewed in first several lectures.
In real applications, control system designers need to consider parameter uncertainty of a given system in design step. For such systems, adaptive controller, which tunes controller parameters adaptively depending on the error between reference output and the system output to be controlled is an option. In the first half of course, the adaptive controller design and its characteristics are discussed with examples.
On the other hand, the optimal control strategy which ensures a balance between control performance and effort based on the designed evaluation function is also powerful design approach. In the second half of this course, the model predictive control which can deal with a wide variety of constraints such as input saturation and state/output limitations in design step is discussed with examples.
Purpose of class
Topics include 1) basic knowledge of adaptive control and optimal control, 2) concept of model reference adaptive control system (MRACS) and its properties, and 3) concept of model predictive control (MPC) and its solution. In this lecture, how to take on different merits depending on requirements and condition to be needed is also considered.
