Abstract

This thesis is concerned with development of embedded adaptive controllers for industrial applications. Many industrial processes present challenging control problems such as high nonlinearity, time-varying dynamic behaviors, and unpredictable external disturbances. Conventional controllers are too limited to successfully resolve these problems. Therefore, the adaptive control strategy, an advanced control theory, is applied to overcome deficiencies of the conventional controllers.
