TY - CHAP PB - IEEE TI - Predictive control of teleoperated constrained systems with unbounded communication delays EP - 2138 SN - 0-7803-4394-8 N2 - We present a control technique which allows the teleoperation of systems subject to input/state constraints through transmission channels with unbounded time-delays, such as Internet TCP/IP connections. The main idea is based on the fact that predictive controllers provide, as a by-product, command sequences which can be executed as emergency maneuvers whenever the communication channel is broken by excessive time-delays. We show how this idea can be exploited by equipping the predictive controller with some additional control logic which enables the synchronization between plant, predictive controller, and human operator SP - 2133 A1 - Bemporad, Alberto T2 - Decision and Control Conference UR - http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=758651&isnumber=16376 Y1 - 1998/// AV - none KW - Internet; delays; predictive control; synchronisation; telerobotics; transport protocols ID - eprints604 CY - Tampa, Florida, December 1998 M1 - 2 ER -
