Description
Adaptive control is no longer just an important theoretical field of study, but is also providing solutions to real-world problems. Adaptive
techniques will transform the world of control. The leading world practitioners of adaptive control have contributed to this handbook
which is the most important work yet in this field. Not only are techniques described in theory, but detailed control algorithms are
given, making this a practical cookbook of adaptive control for both control professionals and practising engineers.
The book presents
the most advanced techniques and algorithms of adaptive control. These include various robust techniques, performance enhancement techniques,
techniques with less a-priori knowledge, nonlinear adaptive control techniques and intelligent adaptive techniques. Each technique described
has been developed to provide a practical solution to a real-life problem. This volume will therefore not only advance the field of adaptive
control as an area of study, but will also show how the potential of this technology can be realised and offer significant benefits.
Audience:
Professional control professionals; BEng/BSc or postgrad in adaptive control; control engineering; industrial engineering; electrical engineering
