TITLE: A Sensitivity Bond Graph Approach to Estimation and Control of Mechatronic Systems

AUTHORS: Peter J. Gawthrop and Eric Ronco

Keywords: Bond Graphs; Sensitivity; Optimisation; Parameter Estimation; Predictive Control

Date: 16 December 1999

Also submitted to: Control Engineering Practice

Abstract:

A new bond graph framework for sensitivity theory is applied to model-based predictive control, state estimation, and parameter estimation in the context of physical systems. The approach is illustrated using a nonlinear mechatronic system.
