U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Analysis and Synthesis of Nonlinear Time-Varying Control Systems

9910030Teel这项为期三年的美法电气和通信系统合作研究项目涉及圣巴巴拉加利福尼亚大学的Andrew R. Teel和Petar Kokotovic，以及格勒诺布尔自动化实验室的Antonio Loria。该项目由国家科学基金会和法国国家科学研究中心（CNRS）支持，将促进时变系统和鲁棒控制设计的新统一稳定性分析工具的开发。研究人员将特别关注非线性非自治系统（NLTV）的跟踪控制和时变镇定的控制律。在进行理论研究的同时，研究人员将把这些新定理应用于特定问题，如机电系统的跟踪控制、非驱动操纵器和自动驾驶汽车。该项目利用了美国和法国在非线性控制领域技术方面的互补专业知识。他们的共同努力将促进对时变系统的自适应控制的理解，当未知参数在动力学中出现非线性时。

9910030TeelThis three-year award for U.S.-France cooperative research in electrical and communication systems involves Andrew R. Teel and Petar Kokotovic of the University of California, Santa Barbara, and Antonio Loria of the Laboratoire d'Automatique de Grenoble. The project, supported under a program of the National Science Foundation and the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), will facilitate the development of new uniform stability analysis tools for time-varying systems and robust control design following a passivity approach. In particular the investigators will focus on control laws for tracking control and time-varying stabilization of nonlinear nonautonomous systems (NLTV). In parallel to their theoretical study, the investigators will apply the new theorems to particular problems such as tracking control of electromechanical systems, under actuated manipulators, and autonomous vehicles.The project takes advantage of U.S. and French complementary expertise in the techniques used in the field of nonlinear control. Their joint efforts will advance understanding of adaptive control of time-varying systems when the unknown parameters appear nonlinearly in the dynamics.
