True Digital Control: Statistical Modelling and NonMinimal State Space Designdevelops a true digital control design philosophy that encompasses databased model identification, through to control algorithm design, robustness evaluation and implementation. With a heritage from both classical and modern control system synthesis, this book is supported by detailed practical examples based on the authors' research into environmental, mechatronic and robotic systems. Treatment of both statistical modelling and control design under one cover is unusual and highlights the important connections between these disciplines.Starting from the ubiquitous proportionalintegral controller, and with essential concepts such as pole assignment introduced using straightfo...
