Description

Modern model-based control methods such as model predictive control (MPC), inverse model feedforward control, and nonlinear dynamic inversion (NDI) encapsulate mathematical model representations of the system to be controlled into the feedforward or feedback control algorithm implementation. Depending on the accuracy and the validity range of the embedded model, these methods can achieve good performance and enable adaptation to the operating conditions of the physical system. During the workshop, a design process for physical model-based control methods based on the Modelica modelling technology will be discussed and applications in aerospace and robotics will be presented. The goal of this talk is to stimulate a discussion on how model-based and intelligent control could be utilized in a complementary or combined way for future space missions.
