Summary on Grant Application Form
The main objective of this research is to develop a theory of nonlinear H optimization with specific reference to the control of robot manipulator motion. The project will concentrate on two problems: (a) Nonlinear H optimal control. (b) Nonlinear H optimal control with adaptation. A second but equally important objective is to establish the significance of these new developments to Industry by way of case studies. The Tetrabot system provided by GEC Alsthom, Engineering Research Centre, will be the main vehicle for this activity.
