Numerical Simulations for an Experimental Test Bed for Adaptive Control Methods

The Doctoral School of Applied Informatics and Applied Mathematics of Óbuda University is deeply involved in the research of novel adaptive and adaptive optimal methodologies for the control of strongly nonlinear systems that cannot be tackled by linearization in the vicinity of some “point of steady operation”. Besides the use of modern simulation tools the application of a “cheap” hardware construction for experimental verification of the theoretically proved, and simulations-confirmed results is a practical must in both the MSc and PhD level education. For this purpose, in 2018, the initial steps for the development of a test bed were reported. In the present paper its further development and the results of new simulation tests are summarized. The main point is to simultaneously tackle the consequences of modeling imprecisions, observation noises, unknown external disturbances, and information loss in the control feedback system for testing Fixed Point Iteration-based adaptive controllers on strongly nonlinear basis.
