Model-Free Control

The model free control techniques form a new and quickly developing area of control theory. It has been established by the team members and nowadays these tools find many practical applications and attract a lot of attention due to their clear advantages for designers: they provide a control law independently in the model knowledge. The achievements obtained in 2014 are as follows:

• The paper [67] proposes a motion planning approach for non-holonomic mobile robots using i-PID controller. The effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed method are shown via several simulations.

• In [60] we show that the open-loop transfer functions and the stability margins may be defined within the recent model-free control setting. Several convincing computer experiments are presented including one which studies the robustness with respect to delays.
