Performance-preserving clustering of elastic controllers
نویسندگان
چکیده
Asynchronous and latency-insensitive circuits offer a similar form of elasticity that tolerates variations in the delays or the latencies of the computation and communication resources of a system. This flexibility comes at the expense of including a control layer that synchronizes the flow of information. This paper proposes a method for reducing the complexity of the control layer by clustering controllers with similar functionality. The approach reduces the control layer and the number of elastic buffers to a significantly smaller elastic skeleton that preserves the performance of the system. The method also takes into account layout information, thus avoiding optimizations that can be physically unfeasible. The experimental results indicate that drastic reductions in the complexity of the control can be obtained.

Presentation of quasi-linear piecewise selected models simultaneously with designing of bump-less optimal robust controller for nonlinear vibration control of composite plates
The idea of using quasi-linear piecewise models has been established on the decomposition of complicated nonlinear systems, simultaneously designing with local controllers. Since the proper performance and the final system close loop stability are vital in multi-model controllers designing, the main problem in multi-model controllers is the number of the local models and their position not payi...

Frequency control is one of the key parts for the arrangement of the performance of a microgrid (MG) system. Theoretically, model-based controllers may be the ideal control mechanisms; however, they are highly sensitive to model uncertainties and have difficulty with preserving robustness. The presence of serious disturbances, the increasing number of MG, varying voltage supplies of MGs, and bo...

Rehabilitation and assistive systems such as rotary series elastic actuators (RSEA) should provide the desired torque precisely. In this paper, to improve the life quality of those who suffer from weak knees, the control problem of a rotary series elastic actuator (RSEA) has been studied in order to generate soft human walking motion. These actuators produce the require torque, but the nonlinea...

The control feel of the master controller in a telemanipulation system has a critical effect on human-machine system performance. Many theoretical and practical human factors issues on hand controller design and selection remain to be explored. In this paper, two types of hand controllers, elastic versus isometric rate controllers, were studied in a 6 degree-of-freedom pursuit tracking experime...
متن کاملPerformance Preserving Frequency-Weighted Controller Reduction with Exact Solution for Low-Order Weights
In this paper, a new H∞ performance preserving frequency-weighted controller order reduction with exact solution for low-order weights is proposed. Given a stabilizing controller that must be stable and satisfy an H∞ performance bound on the closed-loop systems, we derive a sufficient condition for reduced-order controllers to be stabilizing and satisfy the same performance bound, i.e., approxi...
