Klipper is an open source firmware for 3D printers that distributes the workload between a general-purpose computer (such as a Raspberry Pi [1]) and one or more underlying microcontrollers on the 3D printer. [2] [3] The separation claims to allow for more advanced control compared to traditional firmware that runs solely on the printer's ...
Adaptive control is the control method used by a controller which must adapt to a controlled system with parameters which vary, or are initially uncertain. [1] [2] For example, as an aircraft flies, its mass will slowly decrease as a result of fuel consumption; a control law is needed that adapts itself to such changing conditions.
Nonlinear model predictive control, or NMPC, is a variant of model predictive control that is characterized by the use of nonlinear system models in the prediction. As in linear MPC, NMPC requires the iterative solution of optimal control problems on a finite prediction horizon.
In numerical analysis, adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) is a method of adapting the accuracy of a solution within certain sensitive or turbulent regions of simulation, dynamically and during the time the solution is being calculated. When solutions are calculated numerically, they are often limited to predetermined quantified grids as in the ...
grey box model: although the peculiarities of what is going on inside the system are not entirely known, a certain model based on both insight into the system and experimental data is constructed. This model does however still have a number of unknown free parameters which can be estimated using system identification.
The control system performance can be improved by combining the feedback (or closed-loop) control of a PID controller with feed-forward (or open-loop) control. Knowledge about the system (such as the desired acceleration and inertia) can be fed forward and combined with the PID output to improve the overall system performance.
Model-based design (MBD) is a mathematical and visual method of addressing problems associated with designing complex control, [1] signal processing [2] and communication systems. It is used in many motion control , industrial equipment, aerospace , and automotive applications.
A distributed control system (DCS) is a computerized control system for a process or plant usually with many control loops, in which autonomous controllers are distributed throughout the system, but there is no central operator supervisory control. This is in contrast to systems that use centralized controllers; either discrete controllers ...
