Abstract:

  Hybrid dynamical system is a system that can be modeled by continuous-time differential equation with discontinuous state jumps. A typical example is a bouncing ball on the floor, or a jumping robot. Systematic analysis and control of hybrid dynamical systems is considered to be relatively new area in control system community.

  In this talk, we propose a new state observer design approach for a class of hybrid systems. The idea is to glue the jump set (a part of domain where the jumps take place) onto its image. Then, on the glued domain, the hybrid system becomes a continuous-time system without any jumps. Therefore, it would be possible to design classical observers.

  By way of the proposed method, I would also like to justify the phrase “there is nothing more practical than a good theory” (Kurt Lewin).
