From the Publisher:
Written by two of the pioneers in the field, this book contains a wealth of practical information unavailable anywhere else. The authors give a comprehensive presentation of the field of adaptive control, carefully bending theory and implementation to provide the reader with insight and understanding. Benefiting from the feedback of users who are familiar with the first edition, the material has been reorganized and rewritten, giving a more balanced and teachable presentation of fundamentals and applications.

Adaptive Control

When an accurate dynamic model of a mechanical manipu lator is available, it may be used in a nonlinear, model-based scheme to control the manipulator. Such a control formula tion yields a controll...

Adaptive control of mechanical manipulators

This paper establishes global convergence for a class of adaptive control algorithms applied to discrete time multi-input multi-output deterministic linear systems. It is shown that the algorithms will ensure that the system inputs and outputs remain bounded for all time and that the output tracking error converges to zero.

Self-Tuning Regulators for a Class of Multivariable Systems

An implementation of a self-tuning regulator is described. The regulator algorithm consists of two steps. Firstly the parameters of a model of the process are estimated in real time using the method of least squares. Secondly a minimum variance regulator based on the estimated parameters is computed at each sampling interval. Implementation of the algorithm on a process computer is discussed. Questions concerning program structure and storage requirements are considered. Results from the moisture content control on a paper machine are presented. The experiences are very good concerning the start-up behaviour as well as the stationary behaviour of the self-tuning regulator.
