The controllability and observability of the event-based control system

Abstract

This paper mainly discusses the controllability and observability property of event-based control system especially to the class of input-affine nonlinear system, which plays an important role in the designing event-based controllers. In this paper, the derivative geometry theory is used to prove the controllability and observability property of event-based control system which hasn't been discussed before. This work enriches the event-based theories and makes a base for the event-based theories to develop in the future. The event-based control theory is now becoming more very valuable in the tele-operation domain because that it can dispose the fixed or uncertain time delay problems. It can also be used in many other domains with good performances. In section I and II, the paper gives a brief review of event-based control system, discusses what the event-based control system and the model of the event based control system. The rest of the paper mainly discusses the controllability and observability property of event-based control system. A carlike robot is used to show the application of event-based control theory. A simulation result of a triangle-formation keeping using the event-based control theory also presents in this paper. © 2010 IEEE.
