Delay Compensation for Nonlinear, Adaptive, and PDE Systems
Miroslav Krstic, University of California, La Jolla, CA, USA
Forthcoming / August 2009 / Approx. 475 pp. / 52 illus. / Hardcover /
$99.00 / ISBN: 978-0-8176-4876-3 / Birkhäuser
Series - Systems & Control: Foundations & Applications
Some of the most common dynamic phenomena that arise in engineering practice---actuator and sensor delays---fall outside the scope of standard finite-dimensional system theory. The first attempt at infinite-dimensional feedback design in the field of control systems--- the Smith predictor---has remained limited to linear finite-dimensional plants over the last five decades. Shedding light on new opportunities in predictor feedback, this book significantly broadens the set of techniques available to a mathematician or engineer working on delay systems.
The book is a collection of tools and techniques that make predictor feedback ideas applicable to nonlinear systems, systems modeled by PDEs, systems with highly uncertain or completely unknown input/output delays, and systems whose actuator or sensor dynamics are modeled by more general hyperbolic or parabolic PDEs, rather than by pure delay. Numerous examples and a detailed treatment of individual classes of problems will help the reader master the techniques.
"Delay Compensation for Nonlinear, Adaptive, and PDE Systems" is an excellent reference guide for graduate students, researchers, and professionals in mathematics, systems control, as well as chemical, mechanical, electrical, computer, aerospace, and civil/structural engineering. Parts of the book may be used in graduate courses on general distributed parameter systems, linear delay systems, PDEs, nonlinear control, state estimator and observers, adaptive control, robust control, or linear time-varying systems.

Título: Stabilization of Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems with application on a greenhouse
Doctorando: Meriem Nachidi
Directores: Fernando Tadeo y Abdellah Benzaouia
Universidad de Valladolid
Resumen: En esta tesis se desarrollan procedimientos para diseñar reguladores con garantía de estabilidad, para sistemas no-lineales expresados en forma de Takagi-Sugeno (T-S), demostrando además su aplicación práctica sobre el problema de control climático de invernaderos. Los procedimientos propuestos se basan en condiciones dadas como Desigualdades Matriciales Lineales (LMIs), resultando menos conservadoras que resultados previos, gracias a la utilización de funciones de Lyapunov no cuadráticas. Los procedimientos desarrollados se aplican al diseño de un controlador para un invernadero experimental, con buenos resultados prácticos.

Doctorando: Máximo Roa
Director: Raúl Suárez
Universidad: UPC
Programa de Doctorado “Automatización avanzada y robótica”
Departamento/Instituto: Instituto de Organización y Control de Sistemas Industriales
Fecha Lectura: 16 de junio de 2009Resumen: La prensión y manipulación de objetos se ha convertido en un área de gran interés en robótica, especialmente debido al desarrollo de dispositivos de prensión diestra como las manos antropomórficas, que incrementan la flexibilidad y verstilidad de los brazos robóticos, permitiendo así la prensión y manipulación de una gran variedad de objetos con un solo efector final. Esta tesis aborda varios problemas de planificación asociados a la prensión y manipulación de objetos discretos arbitrarios, esto es, objetos de forma arbitraria descritos mediante nubes de puntos o mallas poligonales.
La obtención de una prensión con clausura de fuerza (force-closure) y de una prensión localmente óptima se realiza mediante procedimientos de búsqueda orientada basados en razonamientos geométricos en el espacio de prensiones. La medida de calidad de prensión considerada es la mayor fuerza generalizada de perturbación que la prensión puede resistir, independientemente de la dirección de la perturbación. Sin embargo, las manos mecánicas y dispositivos de prensión reales difícilmente pueden asegurar que los dedos toquen el objeto justamente en los puntos de contacto calculados. Las regiones de contacto independiente (ICRs) se definen de forma tal que un dedo colocado en cada ICR asegura una prensión con clausura de fuerza; estas regiones otorgan robustez frente a errores en el posicionamiento de los dedos. Esta tesis presenta un algoritmo para obtener las ICRs con cualquier número de contactos con o sin fricción sobre la superficie de cualquier objeto tridimensional, asegurando también una calidad mínima controlada. La aproximación planteada genera las ICRs creciéndolas alrededor de los puntos de contacto de una prensión inicial apropiada, por ejemplo una prensión localmente óptima. Este método se extiende también par el cálculo de ICRs cuando varios contactos están fijados de antemano.
El concepto de regiones de no prensión (NGRs) se introduce en este trabajo. Las NGRs se definen de forma tal que un dedo colocado en cada NGR siempre produce una prensión sin clausura de fuerza, independientemente de la posición exacta de cada dedo. Las ICRs y NGRs se utilizan para explorar de forma eficiente el espacio de prensiones. Este espacio es construido mediante un método de muestreo que provee muestras de prensiones con o sin clausura de fuerza, que luego se utilizan para calcular ICRs o NGRs respectivamente, y que luego sirven para etiquetar las configuraciones del espacio de prensiones. Se presenta también una secuencia de muestreo determinístico que permite una buena exploración incremental y uniforme del espacio de prensiones. La generación del espacio de prensiones se utiliza posteriormente para resolver el problema de reprensión (regrasping), esto es, la obtención de trayectorias de las puntas de los dedos sobre la superficie del objeto para cambiar de una prensión inicial a una final sin perder la condición de la clausura de fuerza.
La tesis incluye ejemplos de aplicación para ilustrar el desempeño y la relevancia de los algoritmos planteados.
