Adaptiv e controllers\, whose distinguishing feature is a parameter estimator that prescribes the rule for changing the control parameters in real-time\, ha ve been studied extensively over the past forty years\, with fundamental p roperties of stability and robustness well understood. Guidelines for anal ysis and synthesis for adaptive controllers have been laid out for linear and (specific classes of) nonlinear systems\, continuous and discrete-time systems\, single-input and multi-input systems\, and deterministic and st ochastic systems. So what’s missing? There are glaring gaps in adaptive control theory that remain to be closed for adaptive control to be a viabl e\, practical\, and easily implementable methodology. Guarantees have to b e provided that ensure robustness to a wide variety of non-parametric pert urbations. Guidelines have to be in place for a systematic design of all f ree parameters in the controller. Bounds have to be derived\, not only for steady-state behavior\, but also for transient characteristics. Implement ation issues will have to be satisfactorily addressed. The ability to acco mmodate actuator constraints in terms of bandwidth\, magnitude limits\, an d rate limits has to be precisely characterized. Recently\, there have bee n breakthroughs in Adaptive Control that have led to reducing the above ga ps. This talk will outline the basic principles of the now classical adapt ive control theory\, but also highlight these recent results and show how they contribute towards making adaptive control practical.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Anuradha Annaswamy\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, \n\nRoom: 3043\, Bldg: Coover Hall\, Electrical and Computer Engineering\, Ames\, I owa\, United States LOCATION:Room: 3043\, Bldg: Coover Hall\, Electrical and Computer Engineeri ng\, Ames\, Iowa\, United States ORGANIZER:rkumar@iastate.edu SEQUENCE:8 SUMMARY:Practical Adaptive Control URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/161288 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Speaker:&nbsp\;Anuradha Annaswamy\ , PhD\, Massachusetts Institute of Technology</strong></p>\n<p><strong>Tit le:&nbsp\;</strong>Practical Adaptive Control</p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:&nb sp\;</strong>Adaptive Control is viewed as a game changer in many applicat ion domains where real-time feedback control is essential to ensure the de sired performance.

Guarantees have to be provided that ensure robustness to a wide variety of non-parametric perturbations. Guidelines have to be in place f or a systematic design of all free parameters in the controller. Bounds ha ve to be derived\, not only for steady-state behavior\, but also for trans ient characteristics. Implementation issues will have to be satisfactorily addressed. The ability to accommodate actuator constraints in terms of ba ndwidth\, magnitude limits\, and rate limits has to be precisely character ized.
