An index feedback approach to remote control problems

Abstract

In design of a networked control system, one has to require to handle dynamics of a control system itself, as well as some particular properties such as transmission delay, loss, and distortion. We have proposed a remote control technique for stabilizing constrained linear systems including communication links of the network, whose model is unknown. As far as the links never cut, the control technique can assure the stabilization of the remote control system. Furthermore, some experimental results are presented, where tracking control of a DC motor was performed over the Internet.
