Overview
Topic status: We're looking for students to study this topic.
There has been strong interest in wireless networked control, e.g., networked mobile vehicles, uninhabited aerial vehicles. Existing and emerging applications of wireless networked control are wide-spread including irrigation networks, water resource monitoring, disaster monitoring and emergency services, and aged care and assisted living. However, the full potential of wireless networked control is hindered by the lack of theory and technology support to address current challenges. The projects to be carried out on this topic will try to overcome these hurdles by creating new knowledge in the emerging area. They aim to develop innovative integrated design theory and methodologies for wireless networked control systems (WNCSs) for significant improvement in real-time performance. They are significant because if successful as we anticipate they will fundamentally change our philosophy to design networked control systems for emerging as well as existing applications, provide a total solution in a uniform framework to three significant challenges, and provide theoretical support to WNCS implementations. Expected outcomes include a uniform WNCS modelling framework under various scenarios, new methodologies for stability analysis and controller design, new network protocols, new techniques for feedback scheduling, and/or frameworks for integrated design.
