Observer-Based Realization of a Computational-Intelligence Designed Launcher Attitude Controller

A comprehensive robust control design and optimization methodology for complex flexible-structure systems

“…The uncertainty description can be tuned to fit a set of validation plants to obtain robust high-performance controllers. Already simple optimization Possible extensions to this methodology include robust controller order reduction (while preserving robust performance, see [2]) and the use of comprehensive design parameter optimization using metaheuristics (see [9] and the MATLAB Evolutionary Design Toolbox by these authors). An interesting future functionality is to freely construct weighting functions and interconnection structures through optimization.…”

“…The existing µ analysis and synthesis tools are readily implemented in computer algebra packages, for example in the Robust Control Toolbox of MATLAB [1]. At a higher design abstraction level, approaches to control parameter optimization exist: a survey on evolutionary optimization of control design parameters is given in [4], a recent study using a combination of a genetic algorithm-based parameter search with fuzzy control performance evaluation is found in [9], and a formulation of the control design parameter optimization as a goal-attainment problem is done in [6].…”
