Tracking control algorithms for a laboratory aerodynamical system

Przemysław Gorczyca, Krystyn Hajduk (2004)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The tracking control problem of a strongly nonlinear MIMO system is presented. The system shares some features with a helicopter, such as important interactions between the vertical and horizontal motions. The dedicated IO board allows for control, measurements and communication with a PC. The RTWT toolbox in the MATLAB environment is used to perform real-time experiments. The control task is to track a predefined reference trajectory. A mathematical model of the system, containing experimental...

Automatic control of mechatronic systems

Kurt Schlacher, Andreas Kugi (2001)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

This contribution deals with different concepts of nonlinear control for mechatronic systems. Since most physical systems are nonlinear in nature, it is quite obvious that an improvement in the performance of the closed loop can often be achieved only by means of control techniques that take the essential nonlinearities into consideration. Nevertheless, it can be observed that industry often hesitates to implement these nonlinear controllers, despite all advantages existing from the...
