Constrained Control Over Network by Index Feedback and Experimental Verification

Abstract

This paper proposes a remote control method for a linear system with pointwise-in-time state and/or control constraints. Our technique guarantees achievement of tracking performance and constraint fulfillment under simultaneous occurrence of some phenomena over communication links, such as arbitrary and unforeseeable delays and lots of packet losses. Our ideas are to feedback information about not a state but a state-existing area and to share maximal output admissible sets with reference governor and switching control strategy that consist of the proposed technique. Through numerical and experimental examples, we demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed method.
