Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning for non-linear systems

Marco C. Campi, Sergio M. Savaresi

Abstract: This paper introduces the VRFT - Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning - approach for controller tuning in a nonlinear set-up. VRFT is a data-based method that permits to directly select the controller based on data, with no need for a model of the plant, and represents a very appealing controller design methodology for many industrial control applications.
