A framework for hybrid control design

This paper presents a hybrid system framework which considers simultaneously the control and decision-making issues. This reconfigurable framework can accommodate a wide range of situations, from aircraft control systems to mobile manipulators. A continuous-state plant is supervised by a discrete-event system which is based on a theory of linked finite state machines. The composite system is viewed as an iterative process where a task is carried out by changing the structure of the continuous-state plant. An algorithm for a hybrid control design is provided and illustrated through a mobile manipulator example.
