In this paper we consider large-scale networked controlsystems (NCSs) with multiple communication networks connecting sensors, controllers and actuators. Using a recently developed small-gain theorem for general interconnections of hybrid systems, we are able to find to find a maximum allowable transmission interval (MATI) and a maximum allowable delay (MAD) for each individual network, such that input-to-state stability of the complete NCS is guaranteed.

Geometric calibrations of medical imaging systems are crucial to allow for advanced (X-ray) imaging techniques. Developments in medical procedures, lightweight system design and the growing costs of healthcare, leads to the desire for simpler and faster calibration approaches. The aim of this paper is to present a novel approach to enhance system calibrations for a wide range of imaging applications. The method is based on the introduction of small markers within the line of sight of the system, by virtue of a small mechanical adjustment to the system. By detecting markers in the Xray images, displacements between the systems X-ray source and detector are in-situ measured. Additionally, the approach can be used to obtain nonparametric models of the dynamics of the mechanical system, enabling advanced observer-based estimation approaches. The potential of the method is illustrated by experimental results.

Tokamaks are toroidal devices to create and confine high-temperature plasmas, and are presently at the forefront of nuclear fusion research. Many parameters in a tokamak are feedback controlled, but some quantities that are either difficult to measure or difficult to control are still controlled by trial-and-error adjustments of feedforward signals. For example, the current density profile plays an essential role in the confinement and stability properties of a tokamak plasma but only few demonstrations exist of feedback control, partly due to the unavailability of the measured variables in real-time on many tokamaks. The aim of this paper it to enhance the control of the current density profile by using batch-to-batch control. An iterative learning controller (ILC) is designed for the current density profile control problem. A simulation study for the future ITER tokamak is shown in which ILC is used to obtain a desired current density profile at the end of the plasma ramp-up phase. Experimental application of ILC to plasma discharges in the TCV tokamak is presented, where the time trajectory of the plasma internal inductance, a scalar measure of the current density profile width, is controlled by varying the total plasma current. Both demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach and encourage more extensive use of ILC in tokamak experiments.

A new approach to real-time estimation and feedback control of the particle density profile in tokamak plasmas is presented, based on ideas from Kalman filtering and H_∞ robust control synthesis. Traditionally, the density profile is reconstructed in real-time by solving an inversion problem using a measurement from a single time instant. Such an approach is sensitive to sensor errors and does not account for the dynamical evolution and spatial continuity of the density. The observer-based approach we presented here includes the system dynamics, which is realized by careful modeling of the particle density behaviour using a 1D PDE with a nonlinear source term and two ODEs, which are discretized in space and time to yield a finite-dimensional nonlinear model. The influence of other plasma quantities and operational modes on the transport dynamics are included in the control-oriented model as time-varying parameters. An extended Kalman filter estimates the density, additive random-walk state disturbances as well as fringe jumps (a specific type of sensor error) from measurements, for which special measures are needed. Offline reconstruction using tokamak measurements show accurate estimation of the density profile and show the quality of fringe jump detection. Moreover, a robust state feedback controller with anti-windup is designed based on the model to track a reference signal for the average density, with the estimate obtained from the observer. Closed-loop simulations show that the controller is able to track representative reference signals, with the performance mostly limited by the nonnegativity constraint of the control input.

Learning and repetitive control are powerful instruments in handling recurring disturbances. Repetitive control properly handles constantly repeating variations, while iterative learning control is well-equipped when it comes to handling event triggered deviations. Neither controller is well equipped to adequately deal with repetitive disturbances, which are only present during limited, but varying, periods of time. These are often seen in precision handling systems such as production inkjet printers. This paper combines ILC and RC using a structure which originated in multi-period repetitive control. It is shown that this enables full suppression of the repeating event-triggered disturbances. The approach is successfully demonstrated in an illustrative simulation, as well as by using experimental data from a precision inkjet printing setup.

This paper presents an algorithm that provides a regularization for the costate dynamics of state constrained optimal control problems with a scalar constraint under the assumption that the Hamiltonian is convex in the control and the state dynamics equation of the constrained state is monotonically increasing in the control variable. The algorithm is demonstrated with a classical optimal control problem.
