Systems & Controls

This book details new methodologies to design and analyze adaptive backstepping control systems involving treatment on actuator failures, subsystem interactions and nonsmooth nonlinearities. It discusses interesting open issues in adaptive failure accommodation, decentralized adaptive control and di..

Focussing on the design of a specific control strategy using digital computers, this book explains a new robust LMI-based (state-feedback and observer-based output-feedback) DSMC (discrete-time sliding mode control)  including a new scheme for sparsely distributed control. It also discusses recent i..

Modeling fuzzy control has been a very active research and application area in control engineering. However, there are few books available that cover the area in any depth. Written by a well-known expert who has published more than 100 papers in top international journals, this book gives insight in..

Developing the essential theory for architecting and tackling issues faced during complex realistic engineering problems, this volume focuses on enhanced anti-disturbance control and filtering theory and applications. The book specifically addresses the novel disturbance observer based control (DOBC..

Serving as the first comprehensive reference on this interdisciplinary technology, Autonomous Mobile Robots authoritatively addresses the theoretical, technical, and practical aspects of the field. The book examines in detail the key components that form an autonomous mobile robot, from sensors and ..

Mobile robots have been increasingly applied in many different scenarios, such as space exploration and search and rescue, where the robots are required to travel over uneven terrain while outdoors. This book provides a new framework and the related algorithms for designing autonomous mobile robotic..

This book discusses in-depth role of optimization to optimize the controller parameters. Many comparative studies to evaluate the performance of different optimization techniques are included with different scenarios of the load frequency controller for single area as well as multi-area thermal powe..

Techniques such as dead time compensation, adaptive control and Kalman filtering have been around for some time, but as yet find little application in industry. This is due to several reasons, including: _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Articles in the literature usually assume that the rea..

This book presents the developments in problems of state estimation and optimal control of continuous-time dynamical systems using orthogonal functions since 1975. It deals with both full and reduced-order state estimation and problems of linear time-invariant systems. It also addresses optimal cont..

With emphasis on the fundamental ideas and applications of modelling and design, Control Engineering imparts a thorough understanding of the principles of feedback control. Simple but detailed design examples used throughout the book illustrate how various classical feedback control techniques can b..

This text emphasizes the concepts and applications of modelling and design. It discusses modern techniques such as CAD tools and implementation via digital control. Numerous design examples place the theory in context...
