Event-Triggered and Self-Triggered Control

Resource-aware control

In many control applications, controllers are nowadays implemented using digital communication networks in which the control task has to share the communication resources with other tasks. Despite the fact that communication but also computational resources can be scarce, controllers are typically still implemented in a time-triggered fashion, in which control tasks are executed periodically. This design choice often leads to over-utilization of the available communication resources, and/or causes a limited lifetime of battery-powered devices, as it might not be necessary to execute the control task every period to guarantee desired closed-loop performance.

In case the system is close to its desired setpoint and no disturbances are acting on the system, there is no need to transmit sensor or controller information to controllers and actuators, respectively. This would just be a waste of valuable system's resources. To mitigate this waste or resources, we have to bring "feedback" into the sampling and communication process of the system (in contrast with classical time-triggered sampled-data control in which the sampling is done in "open loop" without considering the actual status of the system). As a consequence, we move from classical periodic control, to aperiodic control, which is considered to be more effective in balancing control performance ("quality-of-control") versus utilization of resources.

Two control schemes that abandon the periodic control paradigm are event-triggered and self-triggered control. Event-triggered control is reactive and generates sensor sampling and control actuation when, for instance, the plant state deviates more than a certain threshold from a desired value. Self-triggered control, on the other hand, is proactive and computes the next sampling or actuation instance ahead of time. The analysis and design of these innovative and resource-aware control schemes require new methodologies and a new system theory. In fact, it is envisioned that hybrid systems theory can play an important role in the understanding of these control schemes.
