Controller switching strategies for constrained mechanical systems with applications to the remote control over networks

A practical control system necessarily has pointwise-in-time constraints such as a physical limit on a state and/or such as an actuator bound on a control. For such systems, some techniques of a switching control strategy are proposed, but few results about experimental evaluations are not. This paper, therefore, investigates the controller switching strategies for systems with state and control magnitude constraints. For the goal, we perform experimental evaluations of switching control strategy for the system combined with communications over networks, as similar to the so-called master/slave control systems.
