ABSTRACT:
In networked and embedded control systems, communication and computation resources are often shared, thereby limiting closed-loop performance. In particular, the implicit assumption traditionally made in control design about the processor being able to execute the desired control algorithm at any time and using perfect information, may break down. In the present talk, we will study an intuitive method for single-loop control of nonlinear systems when both communication and processing availability for control are random. Our approach embellishes the algorithm described in Quevedo and Gupta, aSequence-based anytime control,a IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, February 2013, by incorporating an event-triggering mechanism.
BIO:
Daniel Quevedo was born in Lima, PerA, and brought up in Germany and Chile. In 2001, he moved to Australia to pursue postgraduate studies under supervision of Professor Graham Goodwin. In 2005, he was conferred the Ph.D. degree for his work on quantized moving horizon optimization. Since 2009, he has been an Australian Research Fellow, which has allowed him to investigate networked control systems. Associate Professor Quevedo also leads an ARC Discovery Project on controller design for power converters.
