Course Objective: While methods of robust control, developed based on a priori bounds of system uncertainty, are applicable to systems with smaller levels of uncertainty, methods of adaptive control can potentially handle larger uncertainties by "learning" them on-line. This course will introduce graduate students into the state-of-the-art design methods of adaptive control, and their limitations.

Topics:Parametric models. Parameter identifiers and algorithms: SPR-Lyapunov, gradient, least-squares. Persistence of excitation. Adaptive observers. Certainty equivalence principle. Model reference adaptive control. Indirect adaptive control: pole placement, polynomial approach, LQR. Robustification: parameter drift, leakage, projection, dead-zone, dynamic normalization. Adaptive nonlinear control: tuning functions and modular design. Extremum seeking.
