Adaptics |
 |
|
Adaptics, Inc, develops and licenses state-of-the-art software for
modeling complex dynamic systems from empirical data. This was
achieved for linear time-invariant systems with unknown feedback
in 1992, using powerful statistical methods for optimal selection
of the model state order and estimation of state space model
coefficients. This automated model identification has been used in
automated adaptation to changing systems for adaptive control in
aircraft wing flutter, controlling for changes and failures in
pulp and paper cogeneration boilers, for modeling, control, and
failure detection in numerous chemical processes, and numerous
other applications. Recently these methods have been extended to
time- and parameter- varying systems, e.g., developing a single
model of aircraft wing flutter over a complete operating region of
various speed and altitude combinations from data collected at
only a few such operating point combinations. Such methods have
been further refined to include general polynomial bilinear
multivariable systems (Volterra-Wiener) that are universal
approximators of nonlinear systems with continuous input/output
maps. These systems include nonlinear chemical processes, high
angle-of-attack aero- and hydrodynamics, rotorcraft and turbine
engines, automotive engines over operating condition changes of
engine speed, fuel flow, and torque. Stop by our exhibit to
discuss your current challenges and opportunities in modeling,
fault diagnosis, and controlling complex uncertain systems from
empirical data. Website:
