Mechatronic, Robust control, Sensorless control, Embedded real-time control
The interests of this research group focus mainly on analysis, modeling, identification and control of nonlinear systems with special emphasis on the following applications:
Though extra costs added by transducers are rather limited, control performance may be affected by sensors inaccuracies and/or faults. In most applications, these sensors present several disadvantages, such as reduced reliability, susceptibility to noise, additional cost and weight and increased complexity of the system. For these reasons, the so-called sensorless control attract the industrial interest, and induce an intensive research activity in our research group.
The research interests include also modelling, estimation and system identification of physical system dynamics to develop model-based and data-driven methods for fault diagnosis and control of mechatronic systems.
The development of algorithms and simulation tools and their application to embedded real-time control solutions are also within our research topics. The implementation of prototypes based on
embedded industrial platform is very useful for our research activities and technology transfer capabilities
