Download or read book Introduction to Intelligent and Autonomous Control written by Panos J. Antsaklis and published by Springer. This book was released on 1993 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The area of intelligent control is a fusion of a number of research areas in engineering computer science and mathematics, which has evolved from conventional control to enhance the existing nonlinear, optimal, adaptive and stochastic control methods. Intelligent control techniques are currently being utilized for closed-loop feedback control in space-based applications, manufacturing systems, robotic systems, avionic systems, among others, to improve system performance, reliability and efficiency. Overall, the primary objective of intelligent control is to enhance the performance of the system to the extent that it achieves some level of autonomous control.
