    This document provides information about the ECE6554 - Adaptive Control course taught by Patricio A. Vela at Georgia Tech. The 3 credit hour course meets twice a week and covers topics in adaptive control theory including model reference adaptive control, robustness to uncertainties, and methods like adaptive backstepping. Homework makes up 60% of the grade, with exams accounting for the remaining 40%. The course references Hovakimyan's adaptive control notes and provides a topical outline covering background, model reference adaptive control, and additional adaptive control methods.

    ECE6554 - Adaptive Control (3-0-3)

    School of Electrical and Computer Engineering


    Georgia Institute of Technology

    Instructor: Patricio A. Vela


    Office: TSRB 441
    Phone: x48749 (no voice-mail)
    e-mail: [email protected]
    Course Hours: Tu/Th 06:00-07:15
    Inquiry Hours: TBD
    or by appointment

    Prerequisite: ECE6550
    Course Book: Ioannou and Sun, Robust Adaptive Control, Prentice-Hall, 1996.
    discontinued but available online. will not be the primary reference.
    Preferred Reading: Hovakimyan, Adaptive Control Notes, on t-square.
    Also Available: Class lecture notes, on t-square.

    Catalogue Description: Methods of parameter estimation and adaptive control for systems with
    constant or slowly-varying unknown parameters. MATLAB design projects emphasizing applica-
    tions to physical systems.
    Scope and Goals: The main goal of the course is to give a self-contained mathematical treat-
    ment of adaptive control theory for those interested in further research/investigation in the area.
    Throughout the course both theoretical and application aspects of model reference adaptive con-
    trol design for uncertain dynamical systems will be presented.
    Course Mechanics and Grading: The course meets two times a week, Tu/Th 06:00-07:15, and
    consists of homeworks, an exam, and a final exam. The percentage of the total grade calculation
    for these components will be as follows:

    Homework: 60%
    Exam: 20%
    Final: 20%

    The homeworks are intended to explore and reinforce the topics presented in class. While collab-
    oration is encouraged regarding the homework material, all work to be turned in is expected to be
    individually completed. It is presumed that we are all operating under the Georgia Tech Honor
    Code.
    I should be available during the designated office hours. If something should prevent me from
    fulfilling them as stated, then I will provide an alternative time. I will typically make an effort to
    be available for a short period after class for any questions that may arise.
    Topical Outline: The course material is broken up into three segments which cover the following
    topics,

    1. Background: Analysis and Dynamical Systems


    • Analysis of Solutions to Differential Equations.
    • Equilibria and Stability.

    • Direct and Indirect MRAC.
    • Robustness to Parametric/Non-Parametric Uncertainties.
    • Parameter Convergence: Persistency of Excitation.
    • Boundedness.
    • Distrubance Rejection.
    3. Methods in Adaptive Control.
    • Adaptive Backstepping.
    • Adaptive Output Feedback Control.
    • Adaptive NeuroControl.
    • Examples of Adaptive Control.

    Additional topics will be considered if time permits.

    Additional Course Policies.


    The late homework policy is that late homeworks will be accepted without notice, but will receive
    at minimum a 10% deduction (increasing with time). If notice is given prior to the due date of the
    homework and accepted, then the deduction may be waived. If the tardiness is due to sickness,
    please communicate as such (by phone, by e-mail, or howsoever you can). Once the solutions
    have been posted, then late homeworks will not be accepted, except as exempted due to prior
    communication.
    If you have any special needs, feel free to discuss them with me.
