The control strategy developed uses the mobile robot dynamic model linear representation. In this way, we must be change the system controlled variables from x, y, thetas to S (denoting the robot linear displacement) and thetas. So we can use a linear controller to solve the control problem. The model linear representation is decoupled into two systems and we design a VS-MRAC controller to each one.

Some new notions about regularizability, impulse (I-) controllability and impulse (I-) observability, R-controllability and R-observability are introduced for RADS's in the sense of dynamic compensation. Similar definitions can further be given for admissibility and consistency of initial conditions. Equivalent conditions corresponding to these notions are derived. It is pointed out that the new notions are not contradictive to the existing ones. A necessary and sufficient condition is presented for the existence of a dynamic compensator such that the closed-loop system is regular, stable and impulse-free. It is shown that the duality on the conditions for freeness of impulse, I-(or R-) controllability and I-(or R-) observability for RADS's is true, and the symmetry of the properties for the systems between row and column also holds. This demonstrates that properties of RADS's are consistent with those of regular descriptor systems (RDS's) in form. Thus these new notions and results for RADS's are natural extension for those of RDS's","PeriodicalId":265903,"journal":{"name":"2006 American Control Conference","volume":"136 21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115122212","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This new architecture, called companion model adaptive controller (CMAC), allows for incorporation of a low-pass filter into the feedback-loop that enables to enforce the desired transient performance by increasing the adaptation gain. For the proof of asymptotic stability, the Lscr1 gain of a cascaded system, comprised of this filter and the closed-loop desired reference model, is required to be less than the inverse of the upper bound of the norm of unknown parameters used in projection based adaptation laws.

In this paper, a nonlinear dynamic model will be presented for a stationary gas turbine. The model simulates the transient and steady state gas turbine's nominal operating conditions. This model serves as the basis of an advanced diagnostic strategy to evaluate a stationary gas turbine's overall operation. To validate the model, experimental data has been obtained from a Solar Mercury 50 stationary gas turbine located at Clemson University.
