Efficient networked UAV control using event-triggered predictive control

Event-Triggered Networked Control Systems

Many of the results for event-triggered control of embedded systems can be extended to networked control systems. A networked control system or NCS is a set of controllers that coordinate their actions over a communication network. For NCS, event-triggering is used to decide when to transmit or broadcast the system state to a local controller’s neighbors. Using events to trigger communication a...

Event-triggered Learning for Resource-efficient Networked Control

Common event-triggered state estimation (ETSE) algorithms save communication in networked control systems by predicting agents’ behavior, and transmitting updates only when the predictions deviate significantly. The effectiveness in reducing communication thus heavily depends on the quality of the dynamics models used to predict the agents’ states or measurements. Event-triggered learning is pr...

Analysis of Applying Event-triggered Strategy on the Model Predictive Control

In this paper, the event-triggered strategy in the case of finite-horizon model predictive control (MPC) is studied and its advantages over the input to state stability (ISS) Lyapunov based triggering rule is discussed. In the MPC triggering rule, all the state trajectories in the receding horizon are considered to obtain the triggering rule. Clearly, the finite horizon MPC is sub-optimal with ...

Suboptimal event-triggered control for networked control systems

The advent of networked control systems urges the digital control design to incorporate communication constraints efficiently. In order to accommodate this requirement, this article studies the joint design of controller and event-trigger for linear stochastic systems in the presence of a resource-limited communication channel which exhibits packet dropouts and time-delay. The event-trigger sit...
