There have been great advances in the theory and applications of robust multivariable feedback control systems over the last two decades which have been successfully applied to a wide range of complex engineering applications subject to perturbations (including dynamical process changes, parametric and complex-valued uncertainties, variation of operating conditions, measurement noises and unmeasured exogenous disturbances). While advanced control systems have been broadly used in e.g. Aerospace systems, Automotive industry, for a number of reasons, have not adequately benefited from the modern control techniques. As a result, there has been a continuous increase in the gap between the control theory and practical control strategies utilised in the existing production vehicles. It has turned out that many relevant fundamental functionalities are neglected in addressing several requirements in the new vehicles. Besides, traditional control systems may no longer react to increasingly complex modern automotive control systems in the future. The talk will address, to some extent, that automotive industry is in vital need of more sophisticated and advanced control algorithms in order to reduce cost, risk and time-to-market. The seminar will summarize some of the developments in automotive dynamic systems modelling and control, with an emphasis on recent R&D developments in robust multivariable control at Automotive Engineering Department, and especially at the Automotive Mechatronics Centre in Cranfield University.
