– Titre : When event-triggered control pays off… or not: Breaking points and the nature of consistency
– Résumé : In many digital control systems, sampling incurs non-negligible costs, for example due to the use of limited communication or computation resources, as is common in networked control systems. Event-triggered control (ETC) offers a promising approach to reduce the sampling rate in closed-loop systems while still achieving control objectives such as stability and performance. However, the essence of consistent ETC schemes – i.e., schemes that outperform periodic control in terms of control performance and sampling efficiency – is still not well understood in many settings.
In this talk, we investigate fundamental breaking points at which ETC schemes fail to deliver such advantages and thereby derive insights into the underlying principles of consistent ETC schemes.
In addition, we present a practical project our group has been pursuing over the past few years on autonomous e-scooters. We discuss the potential of this application, advocating autonomous micromobility systems, and how insights from event-triggered control can benefit such robotics projects.
