Abstract:
When in a digital control strategy there are samples lost due to limitations, different multirate (MR) control options can be used for solving the problem: Dual-rate inferential control (IC) and model-based dual-rate control (MBDR). The objective of this contribution is to analyze, compare, and to assess their behavior under different perspectives. Is a dual-rate inferential control better than a model-based dual-rate control? Both options lead to a periodically time-varying discrete-time system and for this reason a lifted modeling is considered. An efficient algorithm is used for computing a MR system's frequency response for these control structures. The robust performance and disturbance effects are studied in detail under sample losses and process uncertainty, and some considerations are reported. A new QFT (quantitative feedback theory) procedure for dual-rate systems analysis is also described. Analysis and simulation examples and experimental results for UGV path tracking are introduced in this work, revealing that MBDR outperforms IC when the model contains important uncertainties.

Random sampling is a method where each member of the population has an equal chance of being selected for the sample. It involves selecting individuals randomly, often using random number generators or lottery-type methods. For example, when analyzing the properties of a...

Sampling Methods: Sample Types
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...
