Compensation of Network-Induced Delays in Control Systems

This lecture covers the compensation of transmission delays in remote-control settings, focusing on the MATI concept to ensure stability in networked control systems. The instructor discusses examples of second-order systems and the challenges of guaranteeing stability in the presence of delays. The lecture also delves into the timing diagram and structure of controllers, emphasizing the importance of compensating for network-induced delays. Various strategies for compensating delays, such as predicting states and designing controllers, are explored. The comparison between compensated and uncompensated controllers is illustrated through simulations, highlighting the benefits of delay compensation in ensuring system performance and stability.
