Shortened product life-cycles decreases the output rate of manufacturing systems as the introduction of new products into the manufacturing system becomes more frequent. Improvements of the development process of manufacturing systems are needed to increase the output. Information handling and development of control programs based on information reuse are two of the most important improvement areas. These areas, among other things, can be a support for offline verification, which promises to directly increase the output rate due to shortening product introduction times. This paper deals with two problems of the many connected to enabling offline verification. First, a general control program structure, adapted to information reuse, is needed and secondly, the information necessary to generate the control programs needs to be defined. A method is proposed where information from the mechanical design of a cell, from the product, and from manual simulation are reused and automatically converted into control programs that schedule the work in a collision-free, deadlock-free and time-optimized way. The correctness of the generated programs is guaranteed by use of formal methods, simulation and an uncorrupted conversion of specifications into control programs.

In this paper a new robust steepest-descent algorithm for discrete-time iterative learning control is introduced for plant models with multiplicative uncertainty. A theoretical analysis of the algorithm shows that if a tuning parameter in the algorithm is selected to be sufficiently large, the algorithm will result in monotonic convergence if the plant uncertainty satisfies a positivity condition. This is a major improvement when compared to the standard steepest-descent algorithm, which lacks a mechanism for finding a balance between convergence speed and robustness. Experimental work on a gantry robot is performed to demonstrate that the algorithm results in near perfect tracking in the limit.

A panel discussion with the title Whitherto Robust control was held during the IEEE Conference on Decision and control in Honolulu, HI, in December 1990. Organizers and Chairs were B.R. Barmish and P.P. Khargonekar, while the panelists were D.S. Bernstein, S.P. Bhattacharyya, S.P. Boyd, J.C. Doyle, I.M. Horowitz and R.E. Skelton. Today, the goals of researchers working on robust control are probably quite different than thirteen years ago. This seems true both in the progress of novel theoretic paradigms as well as in the developments of new tools required by emerging applications. This panel discussion addresses classical issues and outlines future directions within robust control. We hope that it will contribute to its growth in the years to come. The panelists’ viewpoint are presented in the next pages.

Using model reduction, a new approach for low-order speech modeling is presented. In this approach, the modeling process starts with a relatively high-order (full-order) autoregressive (AR) model obtained by some classical method. The AR model is then reduced using the a state projection method, operating in the state space. The model reduction yields a reduced-order autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) model which interestingly preserves the key properties of the original full-order model such as causality, stability, minimality, and phase minimality. Line spectral frequencies (LSF) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) behavior are also investigated. To illustrate the performance and the effectiveness of the proposed approach, some computer simulations are conducted on some practical speech segments.

We now apply the model predictive control (MPC) of speed limits that we have presented in previous publications to a calibrated METANET model of a 19 km stretch of the real-world freeway A1 in The Netherlands. This freeway regularly suffers from shock waves originating mainly from on-ramps, and speed limits are now used to suppress these shock waves. First, we calibrate and validate the extended METANET model with data from the A1 freeway, and we use the Delft OD method to estimate the origin-destination patterns that are needed for the simulation of the destination oriented traffic. Next, we verify from data whether the necessary conditions for applying speed limits against shock waves are satisfied. We show that the MPC controller performs well even under the assumption that the traffic demand is not known on the on-ramps and is known for only a few kilometers upstream and downstream of the controlled stretch. This approach results in an improvement of the total time spent in the network with about 15%.

In this paper, we propose a deterministic approach to the robust filtering problem for a class of uncertain nonlinear systems. Based on polynomial Lyapunov functions and a relaxation technique, we derive linear matrix inequalities conditions that minimize an upper-bound on the finite horizon 2-norm of the estimation error for all admissible uncertainty and input signals (including disturbances and measurement noise). Through a simple redefinition of the Lyapunov matrix, we extended the results for the reduced-order case without considering non-convex rank constraints.
