Dr Damiano ROTONDO
Post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Robotics - Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Spain)

In the framework of his visit to the CRAN from November 7th to December 23rd, Damiano Rotondo, Post-doctoral fellow at the Institute of Robotics - Polytechnic University of Catalonia (Spain) will give two seminars: on november 20th and on December 18th.

 

On November 20th, from 2pm to 5pm in room 215 of AIP Building, Campus Sciences, Vandoeuvre, with a presentation entitled "Analysis and design of linear parameter varying systems using linear matrix inequalities".

Abstract: In the last decades, linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) have attracted a growing interest due to the possibility of using them to characterize a wide class of problems that arise in systems and control theory. Since the year 2000, the amount of published papers that deal with LMIs has increased in an impressive manner, such that the 21st century has been defined by some authors as the "flourishing period of LMIs". This seminar provides an introduction to the analysis and design of control systems using LMIs, with a special focus on linear parameter varying (LPV) systems. Several specifications, such as D-stability, guaranteed H infinity performance and guaranteed quadratic cost, as well as different control structures, such as state-feedback control, output-feedback control and observer-based control, are covered by the seminar. An example based on a simplified model of a two-degrees-of-freedom helicopter (TRMS) will be used to illustrate the overall design methodology using LMIs.
