Cátedra de Excelencia Prize

Prof. Škrjanc received the research award of the Chair of Excellence Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain, for the development of a self-evolving method of building soft models in a non-stationary environment where exceptional data emerge. The prize is one of the most prestigious in Spain and was awarded for research work in 2017. He and his colleagues developed a method for monitoring and recognizing drivers' actions on the car's base of available signals, without the use of additional sensors.

Plenary talk Simple adaptive and predictive control of nonlinear and multivariable plants

Sašo Blažič had a plenary talk entitled Simple adaptive and predictive control of nonlinear and multivariable plants within the International Conference on Advanced Engineering in Petrochemical Industry (ICAEPI’17) held in Skikda (Algeria) from November 28 to November 30, 2017. The focus of the plenary lecture was on the simple control methods for nonlinear plants that occur quite often in process industries. These include the extension of either model reference adaptive control or predictive functional control to the nonlinear case. During control design it is very important to ensure an adequate level of control system robustness to modelling errors, and the stability and robustness issues are treated formally.
