Analog circuits for embedded model predictive control

Abstract

Embedded analog circuits have been looked in to due to their ability to efficiently and accurately perform computations relating to control. However, there has yet to be a comprehensive study of control implementations of these circuits. Some of these possible controllers include proportional integral, low gain integral low gain quadratic programming, and model predictive controllers (MPC). This past summer I have worked on implementing these controllers and testing them on the quadruple tank control testbed.
