TL;DR

This work presents a self-triggered implementation of linear controllers that reduces the amount of controller updates necessary to retain stability of the closed-loop system and exhibits an inherent trade-off between computation and potential savings on actuation.

Abstract

Nowadays control systems are mostly implemented on digital platforms and,\nincreasingly, over shared communication networks. Reducing resources (processor\nutilization, network bandwidth, etc.) in such implementations increases the\npotential to run more applications on the same hardware. We present a\nself-triggered implementation of linear controllers that reduces the amount of\ncontroller updates necessary to retain stability of the closed-loop system.\nFurthermore, we show that the proposed self-triggered implementation is robust\nagainst additive disturbances and provide explicit guarantees of performance.\nThe proposed technique exhibits an inherent trade-off between computation and\npotential savings on actuation.\n
