Abbreviation of location of studies: IIT


Description of the research topic:

"The newest results in IT, the low-cost, high capacity HW elements provide new tools to realize complex control algorithms for equally complex real systems with non-linear dynamics. This class of systems includes robots and weight handling equipment in general, vehicles, drones, chemical plants, etc. Nonlinear systems may exhibit complex behaviour and their control may require advanced feedback laws, but currently, embedded architectures may support such demanding calculations at a high sampling rate. The design process of such feedback laws is also supported by high-performance environments allowing SIL, PIL and HIL simulations.

The research follows the model-based paradigm which supposes that some mathematical description of the dynamical system is available. After initial study and categorization of the latest results in the literature, the research activities will focus on some selected issues related to (distributed) deterministic and stochastic state estimation, (distributed) tracking feedback or motion planning, predictive algorithms for a specific class of systems. As far as the specific systems are concerned where the theoretical results can be put in practice, special attention will be paid to mechatronic systems (autonomous cars and robots) and to chemical and pharmaceutical process dynamics that can be described using reaction kinematics.

The algorithms developed are expected to be implemented and verified using Matlab/Simulink and LabVIEW environment and on testbed system available at our laboratory. A recent publication in the field is also given for completeness:
