Authors: Pakshina, Natalia; Emelianov, Mikhail
Abstract: In this paper we emphasize importance of such e-learning tool as an electronic collection. We present the collection devoted to Alexander Lyapunov an outstanding mathematician, and stability theory founder. The structure and a brief content of the collection are described in this paper. A special attention is given to Lyapunov’s life in Nizhny Novgorod: the information about that period of his life is little-known. Here, we present a lot of unique photos and videos of the places where Lyapunov had been living for a long time.

Authors: Rosinova, Danica; Kozáková, Alena
Abstract: This paper presents part of material concerning decentralized control, taught in graduate course Control of Complex Systems. We present some basic aspects of decentralized control design concerning stability and performance and illustrate them on a case study: virtual model of a quadruple tank process. Control structure selection based on performance relative gain array (PRGA, Hovd, Skogestad, 1992) is used and its ability to evaluate the achievable performance is discussed. Robust stability condition for decentralized control is considered, which provides the upper level on subsystems, thus limiting the performance.

Authors: Vesely, Vojtech; Vozák, Daniel
Abstract: The paper addresses the problem to recognize a level of robust controller design in our Institute and show the difficulties of implementation to student courses. In the first part of paper we introduce the survey of robust controller design for SISO systems with generalization design procedure for structured and unstructured uncertainties. The second part of paper is devoted to MIMO systems. In the frequency domain robust controller design procedure we reduce to independent design of SISO subsystems and in time domain the LMI or BMI approaches with polytopic system description are favorable.

State Feedback Control Design for Multivariable Discrete Time Systems with Required Accuracy Via Mean-Square Criterion new

Chestnov, V.N.; Zatsepilova, Zhanna 2012-06-19
Authors: Chestnov, V.N.; Zatsepilova, Zhanna
Abstract: We formulate the discrete-time controller design problem where the desired accuracy of controlled variables in the mean-square sense is guaranteed in the presence of bounded polyharmonic disturbances with a priori unknown number of harmonics, amplitudes, and frequencies. The amplitudes of the harmonics must satisfy a condition that results in the boundedness of the power of each polyharmonic component. The concept of mean-square radius of the steady state of the closed-loop system is introduced which accounts for the bounds on the mean-square values of both the controlled variables and control inputs (for each controlled and control variable). The attainment of the desired accuracy of the control system is formulated as the problem of ensuring the required mean-square radius of the steady state. The solution is based on the discrete-time H∞-optimization procedure by properly choosing the corresponding weighting matrices of the minimax cost criterion. Keywords: linear multivariable systems, bounded disturbances, discrete-time systems, state feedback, H-infinity optimization, Riccati equation.

Authors: Bradley, Peter; de la Puente, Juan Antonio; Zamorano, Juan; Brosnan, Daniel
Abstract: A set of software development tools for building real-time control systems on a simple robotics platform is described in the paper. The tools are being used in a real-time systems course as a basis for student projects. The development platform is a low-cost PC running GNU/Linux, and the target system is LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT, thus keeping the cost of the laboratory low. Real-time control software is developed using a mixed paradigm. Functional code for control algorithms is automatically generated in C from Simulink models. This code is then integrated into a concurrent, real-time software architecture based on a set of components written in Ada. This approach enables the students to take advantage of the high-level, model-oriented features that Simulink oers for designing control algorithms, and the comprehensive support for concurrency and real-time constructs provided by Ada.

Abstract: Iterative Learning Controller (ILC) built on top of conventional controls helps the plant to effectively track its reference signals under repetitive conditions. Research devoted to this has been an extensive topic in last decade and so were the practical applications, that cover manufacturing systems, chemical processes, robotics, etc. In this paper we deal with learning experience of ILC algorithms. It covers how solving real problems in lab provide the students with a holistic approach to understanding control engineering. For this purpose, we have chosen a tracking robot as our plant. We performed a set of experiments on the real platform, a LEGO based robot, which allowed us to show the significant improvement for tracking performance when ILC complements a non-ILC controller in an entertaining and less expensive way.
