Book excerpt: The objectives of this research effort were to exploit recent advances in neural network (NN) based adaptive control, with the goal of being able to treat a very general class of nonlinear system, for which the dynamics are not only uncertain, but may in fact be unknown except for minimal structural information, such as the relative degree of the regulated output variables. We were particularly interested in designing adaptive control systems that are robust with respect to both parametric uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics. Extensions to decentralized control were also of interest. In addition, we placed a high priority on transition opportunities in aircraft flight control, control of flows, control of flexible space structures, and control of aeroelastic wings.
