Abstract
Bode integral relations and Shannon capacity theorems are pillars of feedback and information theories, and they laid the very foundation for the design of control systems and communication systems, respectively. As today’s technological world is increasingly more information-rich and performance-driven, there has been growing recognition that control and communication, the two cornerstones of modern technologies, may and should be integrated ever more closely, and that the design of new engineering systems and networks can benefit from the fusion of control and communication theories. Relating to my own experiences and viewpoints, in this talk I shall present a control theorist’s perspective into this intriguing area of scientific inquiry. Our latest developments in networked control will constitute the primary issues of interest, focused on the intrinsic limits imposed by communication channels on feedback performance. A central and unifying theme throughout the talk is the fundamental limitations of control, under perfect or limited information feedback.
