Networked Control System

Networked control systems (NCS) integrate geographically distributed components, communicating via networks to achieve closed-loop control. Current research heavily focuses on addressing challenges posed by network limitations (e.g., delays, packet loss) and ensuring system robustness and security, often employing model predictive control, reinforcement learning, and observer-based methods to compensate for uncertainties and enhance resilience. These advancements are crucial for reliable operation of increasingly complex systems like robotic control and industrial automation, improving performance and safety in diverse applications.
