Adaptive control is a modern approach to controlling systems with large parametric uncertainties, enabling performance to reach new heights. By compensating for unexpected parametric uncertainties, whether due to equipment failure or wear and tear, it not only enhances system reliability but also extends equipment lifespan, thereby reducing costs. This book showcases the latest advances in the theory and application of adaptive control, contributed by leading researchers in the field. Alongside theoretical insights, it presents practical examples of adaptive control applications, offering a comprehensive understanding of its advantages across a diverse range of control systems.
