Abstract

This research plan concerns the project of controllers for mechanical systems in which the communication between the controller and the plant, both the measurements and the controlling signal, occurs through a non-ideal communication channel. Particularly, we aim to study the effects of packet loss through the network. The project is going to be implemented in a rotary inverted pendulum whose modeling, identification and discretization are included in the project objectives. In addition, different models for the communication channel are going to be tested, e.g. the Gilbert-Elliot, Fritchman and McCullough models, including different probabilities for the events associated with the channel modeling.
