More Information
  • A discrete predictor-based control method is developed for a class of linear time-invariant networked control systems with a sensor-to-controller time-varying delay and a controller-to-actuator uncertain constant delay, which can be potentially applied to vision-based control systems. The control scheme is composed of a state prediction and a discrete predictor-based controller. The state prediction is used to compensate for the effect of the sensor-to-controller delay, and the system can be stabilized by the discrete predictor-based controller. Moreover, it is shown that the control scheme is also robust with respect to slight message rejections. Finally, the main theoretical results are illustrated by simulation results and experimental results based on a networked visual servo inverted pendulum system.

  • 1 The controller-to-actuator delay is the sum of a constant delay (dead time of the actuator) and a small time-varying delay (controller-to-actuator data transmission latency). Therefore, it can be equivalently modeled as an uncertain constant delay.
    2 The detailed calculation of this bound is given in the proof of this theorem.
    3 The continuous-time controller (96) is emulated [38, Section 2.2] to the sampled-data form for the experiment on the NIPVSS.4 The videos of the two experiments are available at https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WEp7VUt5JTcUlbQf6cAt4z4ZHKKJzGjN?usp = sharing.
