Contributions to Networked and Event-Triggered Control of Linear Systems

This book reports on a set of new techniques for resolving current issues in networked control systems. The main focus is on strategies for event-based control, for both centralized and decentralized architectures. The first part of the book addresses the problem of single-loop networked control systems and proposes an anticipative remote controller for dealing with delays and packet losses. The second part of the book proposes a distributed event-based control strategy for networked dynamical systems, which has been implemented in a test-bed of mobile robots, and provides readers with a thorough description of an interactive simulator used to validate the results. This thesis, examined at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia in 2013, received the award for best thesis in controlengineering from the Control Engineering group of the Spanish Committee of Automatic Control in 2015.

Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the Control Engineering group of the Comité Español de Automática (CEA) Describes novel control algorithms for dealing with network delays, packet losses and limited bandwidth Includes details about software and applications tools Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
