Abstract

It is well-known that the interconnection of two or more dynamical systems leads to an increasing complexity of the overall system’s behavior due to the effects induced by the emerging dynamics (in the presence or not of feedback loops)in strong interactions (sensing, communication) with the environment changes. One of the major problems appearing in such interconnection schemes is related to the propagation, transport, and communication delays acting ”through”and ”inside” the interconnections. The aim of this talk is to present briefly some ”user-friendly” methods and techniques frequency-domain approaches)for the analysis and control of the dynamical systems in presence of delays. The presentation is as simple as possible, focusing on the main intuitive (algebraic, geometric) ideas to develop theoretical results, and their potential use in practical applications. Single and multiple delays will be both considered. Classical control schemes (as, for example, the well-known PI and PID controllers, or Smith predictors) will be also revisited. The talk ends with the analysis of some control schemes used in the motion synchronization in shared virtual environments. The presentation is mainly based on [1, 2] (and the references therein).
