Deadline for abstracts: September 15, 1999
Description:
The workshop will present new approaches to nonlinear control that exploit mechanical and electromechanical system structure, in particular, Lagrangian and Hamiltonian structure. New technologies have created engineering problems where successful controller designs must account for nonlinear effects, yet existing theory for general nonlinear systems often proves insufficient. This workshop will cover new developments in nonlinear control theory, design methods and applications where techniques have been effectively tailored to exploit mechanical and electromechanical system structure. The workshop program will include contributed papers as well as a number of invited papers by leading international authorities. In-depth discussions by all participants on basic problems and future directions will be encouraged. Topics to be covered include among others:
control of mechanical, electromechanical and electrical systems control of autonomous vehicles Hamiltonian and Lagrangian control systems use of symplectic, Poisson and Dirac structures in control role of symmetry, reduction and integrability in control analysis of global phase space structure and qualitative phenomena with application to control effect of physical and feedback-controlled dissipation nonholonomic control systems
