Performance and implementability comparison of event-sampling-based control schemes

In the last few years, several works have been presented that address studies of stability, analysis and control design that are suitable for event-based control schemes. Those advances have driven the application of these control strategies in real environments, allowing a control-action rate reduction, while system stability is ensured and performance specifications are met. In this presentation, a study of three different event-based control schemes is presented, with the aim of comparing the obtained performances, design processes and implementability in real-world applications. This work evaluates the behavioural characteristics of the control schemes: control rate and mean sampling time, system error and sensitivity to small disturbances. In addition, the study includes the sticking problem, and issues related to the implementability of the different schemes are considered.
