2016-11-29 (14:00) : Identification for control: Classical results, new ideas, and applications in precision mechatronics

At Euler building (room A.002)

Organized by Mathematical Engineering

Speaker : Tom Oomen (Eindhoven University of Technology)
Abstract : The purpose of identifying a model is often control design. In this presentation, the connection between system identification and control is investigated and improved. First, classical results regarding identification of nominal models for control are revisited. Analysis of these classical methods reveals the necessity of addressing model uncertainty. In particular, the model uncertainty interconnection structure turns out to have a central role in identification for robust control. This insight leads to new connections between control-relevant identification of nominal models, coprime factor identification, and the size of model uncertainty. These results are essential to address future challenges in high-tech motion systems as arising in, e.g., lithographic IC manufacturing and industrial printing.
