Simulation here it is, control theory is still hard :( Anyone knowledgeable about #controltheory and interested in helping me out with this? Basically i get a sampled signal of relative increments and need to map them to a nice acceleration curve.
Boosts appreciated :)

Continued thread

You could think of a tach signal as a pulse density modulation. Each clock period is an implicit sample. If the tach is ticking at 1/200,000 the clock speed, then for 200,000 consecutive clocks, there are 0 samples, then there's a single 1 sample.

So I can run that through a low pass filter and get a very low amplitude speed signal? Are there feasible digital filters that work when the cutoff frequency is orders of magnitude below the sample rate?

DSP and control theory tooters, how do you smooth a tach signal?

I'm measuring a sequence of tachometer pulses, and I want to turn that into a smoothed current speed number. Everything I know about DSP uses a fixed sampling interval, but these aren't fixed -- the interval is the signal.

This has to be a well known problem with well known solutions...

Thank you.

ModConFlex' first researchers started around August 2023. Our presently 13 #MSCA researchers are coming from fields of #engineering, #physics and/or #mathematics. They are hosted by eight different #universities for their PhD and meet at least once a year at our annual network and training events.

Their research focuses on a range of topics from #ArtificialIntelligence over #ControlTheory (applied to floating #WindTurbines or, more theoretical, port Hamiltonian systems) to #FlexibleAircraft.

Last 2024 publication within the #ModConFlex project:

"LQR control for a system describing the interaction between a floating solid and the surrounding fluid" on #mathematics of #solid moving on the #sea and #control acting on the solid.

Co-authored by #ModConFlex #MSCA researcher Zhuo Xu and published in Mathematical Control and Related Fields:

Congratulations to Zhuo for his first #publication !

I know I haven't been posting much lately. I've just been slightly depressed about my job and stuff.

I've been working on making changes to improve things, but for now I feel like I'm in Limbo and I don't have a lot of motivation to be chatty and whimsical.

I'll be fine, though. I've been really enjoying my studies lately. Stepping through #ControlTheory exercises has given me an appreciation for #ElectricalEngineering that I never had before. 😺

I've been disappointed with the quality of resources I've found online for refreshing and expanding my #ControlTheory skills.

One big thing that I've been missing is example problems covering, say, #LyapunovStability and #TimeDelaySystems.

Thankfully, I've got the spouse's permission to use our joint account for purchasing textbooks.

But, does anybody have any recommendations for online resources or textbooks that cover these topics and have problems with solutions?

Dynamic Programming is one way to arrive at the solution of the Markov Decision Process or MDP used in Reinforcement Learning (RL) problems.

In the third article on the Foundational RL series, I discuss dynamic programming and briefly talk about Approximate Dynamic Programming.

Time for a very late #introduction!

I'm an Associate Professor at #Arizona State University (#ASU), where I do a lot of inter- and multi-disciplinary work straddling animal behavior/behavioral ecology, autonomous systems/robotics, optimization/analytics, and machine learning/AI. Lately, I've been doing a lot of work with #ants, #bees, #swarmIntelligence, and #brain-inspired #AI. But my background is in #controlTheory.

Otherwise, yay to #dogs, #hiking, #nature, and #homeImprovement! 😃
