Identification of observer/Kalman filter Markov parameters: Theory and experiments
TL;DR: In this paper, an algorithm to compute Markov parameters of an observer or Kalman filter from experimental input and output data is discussed, which can then be used for identification of a state space representation with associated Kalman gain or observer gain for the purpose of controller design.

Identification of observer/Kalman filter Markov parameters - Theory and experiments
TL;DR: In this article, an algorithm to compute Markov parameters of an observer or Kalman filter from experimental input and output data is discussed, which can be used for identification of a state space representation, with associated Kalman gain or observer gain, for the purpose of controller design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Linear system identification via an asymptotically stable observer
TL;DR: In this paper, a formulation for identification of linear multivariable systems from single or multiple sets of input-output data is presented, where the observer is expressed in terms of an observer, which is made asymptotically stable by an embedded eigenvalue assignment procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
A slewing control experiment for flexible structures
TL;DR: In this paper, a hardware setup has been developed to study slewing control for flexible structures including a steel beam and a solar panel, where the linear optimal terminal control law is used to design active controllers that are implemented in an analog computer.
