Robust Identification of LPV Systems with Applications to Active Vision Prof. Mario Sznaier, Pennsylvania State University, Department of Electrical Engineering Monday, January 29, 200111:00 AM to 12:00 PM Steele 102 During the past few years considerably attention has been devoted to the problem of synthesizing controllers for Linear Parameter Varying Systems, where the state-space matrices of the plant depend on time-varying parameters whose values are not known a priori, but can be measured by the controller. Assuming that bounds on both the parameter values and their rate of change are known then Affine Matrix Inequalities based conditions are available guaranteeing exponential stability of the system. Moreover, these conditions can be easily used to synthesize stabilizing controllers guaranteeing worst case performance bounds (for instance in an ${\cal H}_2$ or ${\cal H}_\infty$) sense. These results formalize the intuitively appealing idea of gain scheduling, while avoiding its pitfalls. |
