Laboratory "Nonlinear Adaptive Control Systems"
Department of Control Systems and Informatics
Higher Education Institution: Federal State Autonomous Educational Institution of Higher Professional Education “Saint-Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics”
Research Area: Nonlinear, Adaptive and Robust Control.
Project: Development of approaches and methods of nonlinear, adaptive and robust control of complex technical systems in conditions of uncertainty, delay and external disturbances.
Main tasks of the project: conducting fundamental theoretical research on the following directions
- L1 – adaptive control
- Bilinear systems
- Observer design for mechanical systems
- Distributed mechatronic systems
- Control of underactuated systems
- Estimation of motor parameters without additional sensors
- Control of multiagent systems
- Nonlinear parameterization
- Passive control systems
- Adaptive control of systems with varying parameters
- Remote control of mechatronic systems via the Internet
Target research results: Theoretical investigations and development of adaptive, robust and nonlinear control algorithms in conditions of delay, uncertain dynamics and external disturbances.
