Parallelism in Control

Abstract

A parallel structure is suggested for feedback control systems. Such a technique can be applied to either single or multi‐sensor environments and is ideally suited for parallel processor implementation. The control input actually applied is based on a weighted summation of the different parallel controller values, the weightings being either fixed values or chosen by an adaptive decision‐making mechanism. The effect of different controller combinations is a field now open to study.
