“…For linear systems subject to input-delay, prediction-based control strategies, more commonly known as Smith Predictor (see [1], [13], [16]) are state-of-the-art for systems with constant input time-delays (see for instance [2], [3], [5], [9], [14], or [15] and the references therein). Grounding on the use of a prediction of the system state on a time horizon equal to the delay, this technique aims at compensating it, which notably improves transient performances.…”
