Tutorials

The role of the tutorials is to provide a platform for a more intensive scientific exchange amongst researchers interested in a particular topic and as a meeting point for the community. Tutorials complement the depth-oriented technical sessions by providing participants with broad overviews of emerging fields. A tutorial can be scheduled for 1.5 or 3 hours.

Abstract

New results allowing fast and robust control (1) have recently been extended to the multivariable case. They have been applied with success to a levitation system and to the control of drones. These results can be easily implemented though a graphical geometric method allowing the design and the optimization of feedback controllers. The simplicity of use circumvents the sophisticated analytical methods while keeping excellent performance both in the time domain and the frequency domain. They can also be applied to improve L1 adaptive control method.
