Adaptive Real-Time Numerical Differentiation with Variable-Rate Forgetting and Exponential Resetting (2309.16159v1)

Abstract: Digital PID control requires a differencing operation to implement the D gain. In order to suppress the effects of noisy data, the traditional approach is to filter the data, where the frequency response of the filter is adjusted manually based on the characteristics of the sensor noise. The present paper considers the case where the characteristics of the sensor noise change over time in an unknown way. This problem is addressed by applying adaptive real-time numerical differentiation based on adaptive input and state estimation (AISE). The contribution of this paper is to extend AISE to include variable-rate forgetting with exponential resetting, which allows AISE to more rapidly respond to changing noise characteristics while enforcing the boundedness of the covariance matrix used in recursive least squares.
