History of Adaptive Control

  • Living reference work entry
  • First Online:
Encyclopedia of Systems and Control

Abstract

This entry gives an overview of the development of adaptive control, starting with the early efforts in flight and process control. Two popular schemes, the model reference adaptive controller and the self-tuning regulator, are described with a thumbnail overview of theory and applications. There is currently a resurgence in adaptive flight control as well as in other applications. Some reflections on future development are also given.
