Abstract
In many current control applications, redundant sensors are becoming standard. In particular, autonomous cars, airplanes and aerospace applications all have a multitude of acceleration and position sensors. The need for robust control algorithms that can utilize multiple sensors, even for SISO systems, is fundamental, especially if these algorithms can accommodate sensor failures and account for system dynamics.
In this paper, we propose a combined position and acceleration feedback strategy to control position. The proposed strategy allows seamless embedding of the acceleration properties of the plant into the design of the controller.
