Topic:

Extremum Seeking Control: Theory to Practice

Extremum Seeking Control (ESC) is a control method designed to determine and maintain the extremum (maximum or minimum) value of a function in real time. Since its invention in 1922, ESC has undergone significant theoretical developments and has been applied in various domains, such as maximizing power generation from wind turbines. This talk will begin by revisiting the history of extremum seeking control and explaining the fundamentals of how ESC functions. It will then delve into recent advancements, including several design frameworks. The final section will specifically focus on model-guided ESC in human-prosthetic interfaces. This innovative application utilizes model-based approaches to enhance the interaction between humans and prosthetic devices, aiming to improve both performance and user experience.
