Abstract:
Today's Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are typically distributed over several computing nodes communicating by way of shared buses such as Controller Area Network (CAN). Their control performance gets degraded due to variable delays (jitters) incurred by messages on the shared CAN bus due to contention and network overhead. This work presents a novel online delay prediction approach that predicts the message delay at runtime based on real-time traffic information on CAN. It leverages the proposed method to improve control quality, by compensating for the message delay using the Model Predictive

Abstract:
To control the speed of an overactuated vehicle there may be many possible ways to use the actuators of the car achieving the same outcome. The actuators in an ordinary car is a combustion engine and a friction brake. In some cases it is trivial how to coordinate actuators for the optimal result, but in many cases it is not. The goal with the thesis is to investigate if it is possible to achieve the same or improved performance with a more sophisticated control structure than today's, using a model predictive controller.

Abstract:
In this work, an improved Learning Model Predictive Control (LMPC)architecture for autonomous racing is presented. The controller is referencefree and is able to improve lap time by learning from history data of previouslaps. A terminal cost and a sampled safe set are learned from history data toguarantee recursive feasibility and non-decreasing performance at each lap.Improvements have been proposed to implement LMPC on autonomousracing in a more efficient and reliable way. Improvements have been doneon three aspects. Firstly, system identification has been improved to be runin a more efficie

Abstract:
The propulsion of the spark-ignition engine has been investigated and developed during the past century to improve driveability, minimize fuel consumption and emissions, resulting in highly engineered and computerized powertrains. Well balanced engine maps containing coordinated set-points and model-based information sharing have solved the cross-coupling between different control loops. During transitions between the operating conditions a disadvantageous transient behavior that affects the engine performance may occur. By implementing an MPC as a superior controller a nearly optimal control

Cette thèse aborde le défi de l’optimisation de la gestion des ressources en eau au sein des canaux. Il s’agit d’une tâche particulièrement complexe en raison de leur échelle étendue et de la nature diverse de leurs composants, mais également de leurs dynamiques complexes caractérisées par des retards importants et parfois des pentes nulles. En ce qui concerne les réseaux de voies navigables, l’objectif principal est de mettre en œuvre des techniques issues de la théorie du Contrôle afin d’assurer la navigabilité du réseau, garantissant le respect des niveaux d’eau pour la navigation.

Abstract:
The main topic of this thesis is model predictive control (MPC) of an unstable fighter aircraft. When flying it is important to be able to reach, but not exceed the aircraft limitations and to consider the physical boundaries on the control signals. MPC is a method for controlling a system while considering constraints on states and control signals by formulating it as an optimization problem. The drawback with MPC is the computational time needed and because of that, it is primarily developed for systems with a slowly varying dynamics. Two different methods are chosen to speed up the process

Abstract:
Platooning is an interesting area which involve the possibility of decreasing the fuel consumption of heavy-duty vehicles. By reducing the inter-vehicle spacing in the platoon we can reduce air drag, which in turn reduces fuel consumption. Two fuel-efficient model predictive controllers for HDVs in a platoon has been formulated in this master thesis, both utilizing road grade preview information. The first controller is based on linear programming (LP) algorithms and the second on quadratic programming (QP). These two platooning controllers are compared with each other and with generic control

Abstract:
Batch and semi-batch processes provide needed flexibility for multi-product plants, especially when products change frequently and production quantities are small. However, challenges occur when trying to implement reliable control systems in batch processes due to some unavoidable inherent characteristics such as the presence of time-varying and nonlinear batch process dynamics and a host of unmeasured disturbances. The most typical control strategy employed in batch process operations does not use utilise online measurements of variables directly related to the product quality and as such is

Abstract:
A robust model predictive control algorithm is presented that explicitly handles multiplicative, or parametric, uncertainty in linear discrete models over a finite horizon. The uncertainty in the predicted future states and inputs is bounded by polytopes. The computational cost of running the controller is reduced by calculating matrices offline that provide a means to construct outer approximations to robust constraints to be applied online. The robust algorithm is extended to problems of uncertain models with an allowed probability of violation of constraints. The probabilistic degrees of sa

Abstract:
Poly(ethylene terephthalate), PET, which is commonly used as a packaging material, is not degradable in nature. As an issue of sustainable development it must be recycled and converted into other products. During this process, extrusion is an important unit operation. In extrusion process, if the operating conditions are not controlled, PET can go under degradation, which results in the loss of some mechanical properties. In order to overcome the degradation of recycled PET (RPET), this study aims the control of the extrusion process. Dynamic models of the system for control purposes are obt

Abstract:
This dissertation is focused on the modeling and robust model-based control of high degree-of-freedom (DoF) systems. While most of the contributions are applicable to any difficult-to-model system, this dissertation focuses specifically on applications to large-scale soft robots because their many joints and pressures constitute a high-DoF system and their inherit softness makes them difficult to model accurately. First a joint-angle estimation and kinematic calibration method for soft robots is developed which is shown to decrease the pose prediction error at the end of a 1.5 m robot arm by a
