Robust Adaptive Control.
Abstract
This project addresses the problems involved in developing an interactive software system that integrates adaptive and nonlinear control design procedures with a real-time processor for implementation. The proposed system implements complex control laws in the laboratory for rapid testing evaluation and tuning. Recent hardware development and software methodologies form the basis of computer-aided control system design (CACSD) products. The two basic elements defined in the study are: (1) A user friendly CACSD software package for product development and validation of control laws using simulation models, (2) A real-time hardware system which can automatically implement control laws designed by the CACSD software package, without real-time programming. The products proposed under this project will significantly reduce engineering development time. Many new applications will occur as more and more improved CAE tools are available and the designed control laws can be rapidly verified in the laboratory. The hardware will be capable of implementing optimal trajectories allowing more economical operation of process plants and automated manufacturing lines. Advanced control, guidance, and estimation methods will be introduced into operational systems rapidly since development times and risks will be reduced. Easy to use laboratory test tools will eventually change policymaker's decisions on appropriate funding levels for new complex systems development. (Author)
