Time Optimal Control of Mechatronic Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

Time-optimal controllers have been developed for mechatronic systems within the model predictive control framework (mpc). The time-optimal mpc controllers realize a minimization of the settling time for any given step reference by solving a constrained optimization problem. This allows to take into account system constraints as e.g. actuator limitations. One of the main challenges in this approach is solving the optimization problem within a few milliseconds such that sampling frequencies in the range of 100 hertz and more are feasible. These controllers are developed for applications which do not perform repetitive tasks but for which minimization of settling time is nevertheless crucial.
