DESCRIPTION:Model reference adaptive control has become a popular approach
  for adaptive controller design and has recently shown some success in the
  aerospace industry where it continues to attract attention. However\, get
 ting adaptive control systems to work on real systems is generally difficu
 lt and various "tricks" are typically used. These tricks rely a lot on eng
 ineering judgement. Along with all control systems\, one obstacle to effec
 tive adaptive controller implementation are the inevitable magnitude and r
 ate limits present on the control system. These are particularly perniciou
 s in adaptive control systems because they lead not only to standard "wind
 up" like effects but also corrupt the adaptation law. In this talk\, anti-
 windup-like remedies will be proposed for adaptive controllers and it will
  be shown that\, under reasonable assumptions on the underlying systems an
 d references these remedies enable i) stability of the overall closed-loop
  to be maintained and ii) the performance of constrained MRAC systems to\,
  in a sense\, approach those of unconstrained MRAC systems. \n\nThe semina
 r will be held in JDB Seminar Room\, Department of Engineering\, and onlin
