Applied LPV Control with Full Block Multipliers and Regional Pole Placement
(2010-05) Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo; Ghersin, Alejandro S.
"A formulation of an LPV control problem with regional pole placement constraints is presented, which is suitable for the application of a Full Block S-Procedure. It is demonstrated that improved bounds can be obtained on the induced 𝐿2 norm of closed loop systems, while satisfying pole placement constraints. An application consisting in the 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) control of a space vehicle is developed as an example, with hardware in the loop (HIL) simulation. This shows that the method is appealing from the practical point of view, considering that the synthesized control law can be implemented satisfactorily in standard flight control systems. Conclusions with remarks towards the practical use of the method are presented as well."
Automatic glucose control during meals and exercise in type 1 diabetes: proof-of-concept in silico tests using a switched LPV approach
(2021) Colmegna, Patricio; Bianchi, Fernando D.; Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo
"Keeping the blood glucose levels within the safe range during meals and exercise still represents a major hurdle not only for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), but also for Artificial Pancreas (AP) systems. One of the reasons a fully (autonomous) closed-loop solution has not been released onto the market yet is the slow action of current insulin analogs. To partially overcome this limitation, the authors have previously designed a switched control strategy equipped with an insulin-on-board (IOB) safety loop that mitigates meal-related glucose excursions without carbohydrate counting. In this paper, a similar strategy based on a Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) control law has been adapted to safely handle also exercise challenges with minimum user intervention. In silico results using the UVA/Padova simulator evidence that the proposed closedloop scheme is feasible under moderate-intense exercise bouts by effectively and safely reducing the risk of hypoglycemia."
Control-oriented linear parameter-varying model for glucose control in type 1 diabetes
(2016) Colmegna, Patricio; Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo; Gondhalekar, Ravi
"The contribution of this paper is a controller design oriented model of insulin-glucose dynamics in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM). The novelty of the proposed model is to more effectively include the time-varying nature, and also the inter-patient variability, associated with the glucose control problem. Importantly, this is achieved in a manner that straightforwardly facilitates well-known and standard controller synthesis procedures. In that way, an average Linear Parameter-Varying (LPV) model that captures the dynamics from the insulin delivery input to the subcutaneous-glucose concentration output is constructed based on the Universities of Virginia (UVA)/Padova metabolic simulator. In addition, a system-oriented reinterpretation of the classical ad-hoc 1800 rule is applied to adapt the model’s gain."
Linear parameter-varying model to design control laws for an artificial pancreas
(2018-02) Colmegna, Patricio; Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo; Gondhalekar, Ravi
"The contribution of this work is the generation of a control-oriented model for insulin-glucose dynamic regulation in type1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). The novelty of this model is that it includes the time-varying nature, and the inter-patient variability of the glucose-control problem. In addition, the model is well suited for well-known and standard controller synthesis procedures. The outcome is an average linear parameter-varying (LPV) model that captures the dynamics from the insulin delivery input to the glucose concentration output constructed based on the UVA/Padova metabolic simulator. Finally, a system-oriented reinterpretation of the classical ad-hoc 1800 rule is applied to adapt the model’s gain."
LPV control of a magnetic bearing experiment
(2010-10) Ghersin, Alejandro S.; Smith, R. S.; Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo
"An LPV (Linear Parameter Varying) controller design example for a Magnetic Bearing System is presented. A linear model of the system including bending modes and imbalance is described. Simulations and experimental results show the usefulness of the LPV method with eigenvalue clustering constraints in spite of the limited rotation rate range. The results show that this method facilitates simulation and allows implementation. Conclusions are drawn on the limited range for the rotation rate the LPV controller allows for."
LPV control of glucose for diabetes type I
(2010) Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo; Ghersin, Alejandro S.
"This paper considers the problem of automatically controlling the glucose level in a Diabetes type I patient. Three issues have been considered: model uncertainty, timevarying/nonlinear phenomena and controller implementation. To that end, the dynamical model of the insulin/glucose relation is framed as a Linear Parameter Varying system and a controller is designed based on it. In addition, this framework allows not only a better performance than other classical methods, but also provides stability and performance guarantees. Design computations are based on convex Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) optimization. Implementation is based on a low order controller whose dynamics adapts according to the glucose levels measured in real-time."
Reducing glucose variability due to meals and postprandial exercise in TI DM using switched LPV control: in silico studies
(2016) Colmegna, Patricio; Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo; Gondhalekar, Ravi; Dassau, Eyal; Doyle III, Frank J.
"Time-varying dynamics is one of the main issues for achieving safe blood glucose control in type I diabetes mellitus (TI DM) patients. In addition, the typical disturbances considered for controller design are meals, which increase the glucose level, and physical activity (PA), which increases the subject's sensitivity to insulin. In previous works the authors have applied a linear parameter-varying (LPV) control technique to manage unannounced meals."
Switched LPV glucose control in type 1 diabetes
(2016-06) Colmegna, Patricio; Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo; Gondhalekar, Ravi; Dassau, Eyal; Doyle III, Frank J.
"The purpose of this work is to regulate the blood glucose level in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patients with a practical and flexible procedure that can switch amongst a finite number of distinct controllers, depending on the user´s choice."
Time-varying procedures for insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus control
(2011-03) Sánchez-Peña, Ricardo; Ghersin, Alejandro S.; Bianchi, Fernando D.
"This work considers the problem of automatically controlling the glucose level in insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients. The objective is to include several important and practical issues in the design: model uncertainty, time variations, nonlinearities, measurement noise, actuator delay and saturation, and real time implementation. These are fundamental issues to be solved in a device implementing this control. Two time-varying control procedures have been proposed which take into consideration all of them: linear parameter varying (LPV) and unfalsiﬁed control (UC). The controllers are implemented with low-order dynamics that adapt continuously according to the glucose levels measured in real time in one case (LPV) and by controller switching based on the actual performance in the other case (UC). Both controllers have performed adequately under all these practical restrictions, and a discussion on pros and cons of each method is presented at the end."
