An artificial pancreas is a device that is able to analyze information from sensors, such as continuous glucose monitoring, to deliver the correct amount of insulin by subcutaneous injection via a pump. The design and development of such an artificial pancreas poses several challenges. One of these is the need for an appropriate mathematical model of the patient’s physiology in order to develop a suitable controller. Over the past three decades, a number of artificial pancreas control techniques have been investigated in simulation and clinical research. This review aims to advance the knowledge of artificial pancreas system development by providing a comprehensive overview of recent advances in modeling the biological processes involved and in developing nonlinear control strategies. Real-time parameter estimation and effective uncertainty management as well as in-depth clinical studies and long-term investigations are relevant aspects that need to be evaluated for assessing the efficacy and safety of the artificial pancreas in practice. Further perspectives on control techniques that address patient-specific conditions and enable effective and individualized diabetes management will also be discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50750,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reviews in Control","volume":"57 ","pages":"Article 100937"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1367578824000063/pdfft?md5=f8895dc41b0d3656cd091ce4169cfc18&pid=1-s2.0-S1367578824000063-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139733172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These data sources include data from human inspections, historical failure records, cost data, high-fidelity physics-based simulations, and online health monitoring. Such heterogeneity presents significant challenges in implementing a diagnostic and prognostic framework for decision-making regarding maintenance (and other life cycle actions). The core challenge lies in the effective integration of physical information and data-driven models, aiming to synergize their strengths to overcome individual limitations. One possible solution is to propose an approach that considers the strengths and limitations of each data source, as well as their compatibility with each other. The flexibility and efficacy of contemporary learning approaches can be used with more systematic and informative physics-based models that draw on domain expertise. This represents an inherent desire to base all inferences on both our engineering knowledge and monitoring data that is at our disposal.

Chemical engineering processes are often characterized by non-linearity, strong variable coupling, dead times, multiple inputs and outputs, and operational constraints, making control strategies challenging. Model predictive control is widely used for its advantages in optimal control, flexibility, robustness, and ability to handle multi-objective tasks. However, precise tuning and optimization are essential for implementing this strategy in real-time applications. Metaheuristic optimization algorithms offer an alternative to traditional optimization methods, as they can quickly reach near-optimal solutions and avoid local minima, making them well-suited for use with model predictive control. This study aims to analyze the application of metaheuristic optimization algorithms in conjunction with model predictive control in chemical engineering processes through a systematic review. The review considers three eligibility criteria: applying model predictive control for process control, utilizing metaheuristic optimization algorithm, and chemical engineering-related processes. A total of 46 studies were analyzed, revealing three main application areas for metaheuristic optimization algorithms in model predictive control: improving dynamic models used in the receding horizon, tuning model predictive control parameters, and serving as optimizers in the model predictive control formulation. Over 20 different metaheuristic optimization algorithms and various process models were identified, with typical applications including continuous stirred tank reactors, tank-level control, and column distillation. Genetic algorithms and particle swarm optimization were the most frequently used algorithms. This review concludes that metaheuristic optimization algorithms have been successfully applied to enhance model predictive control in several processes. It also highlights the benefits, weaknesses, and limitations of metaheuristic optimization algorithms applications in chemical engineering processes and provides recommendations for future research. We hope this study will be valuable to professionals and researchers in chemical engineering and process control.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50750,"journal":{"name":"Annual Reviews in Control","volume":"58 ","pages":"Article 100973"},"PeriodicalIF":7.3,"publicationDate":"2024-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142551921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
