A high-speed deterministic adaptive controller†

Abstract

This paper describes an adaptive scheme for controlling linear and non-linear plant whose dynamics are initially unknown. After an initial start-up period, the control law to maintain plant control, according to a pre-determined performance criterion, is identified from state and input data using a linear regression procedure. This involves an on-line digital computer interfaced to the plant and interrogating the plant at a constant rate.
