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 date: 1998 date_type: published publication: Proc. 37th IEEE Conf. on Decision and Control, volume: 2 publisher: IEEE place_of_pub: Tampa, Florida, December 1998 pagerange: 2133-2138 event_dates: Tampa, FL id_number: 10.1109/CDC.1998.758651 refereed: TRUE isbn: 0-7803-4394-8 book_title: Decision and Control Conference official_url: http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=758651&isnumber=16376 citation: Bemporad, Alberto Predictive control of teleoperated constrained systems with unbounded communication delays.
