Description:
The laboratory along with its equipment is focused at the field of development and experimental validation of modern control, modeling and system identification methods for mechatronic and robotic systems. It is mainly oriented towards the design of algorithmic support of adaptive and predictive control systems with joint state and parameter estimation. The research of state-of-the-art control algorithms enabling the use of process constraints such as limits on inputs, outputs and states is also in the focus of the laboratory. The laboratory itself is a collection of research and demonstration systems consisting of personal computers equipped with laboratory measurement cards, signal processing devices and the physical experimental device; which from the viewpoint of its dynamic properties is the equivalent of the modeled real-life system. The laboratory includes experimental systems such as an autonomic mobile robotic system, rotational and linear pendulums, a pendubot, devices for active vibration and acoustic control, a model of an intelligent building and others. These workstations enable the experimental validation of stability, convergence and robustness of various algorithms in real time and on embedded systems.
