Webinar Details
This webinar presents some of the key components in the Universal(U)-control framework for designing dynamic control systems from model-based to model-free paradigms, in which some introduced pillars include U-control system configuration, open-loop dynamic inversion, closed-loop dynamic inversion, model-free-sliding-mode control (MFSMC), and demonstration of model-free control of rotary inverted pendulum using QLabs Virtual Qube-Servo 2 Pendulum.
Prof. Quan Zhu from University of the West of England, UK will present his work in an intuitive, easy-to-understand manner it will showcase Quanser demonstration for the involved approaches, correspondingly reflect the Quanser impact to teaching/training, fundamental research, and industrial application.
