The goal of this PhD is to study the design and the implementation of generic control algorithms for systems composed of distributed MEMS in a semi-centralized context (i.e. only the direct neighbors can communicate).
Experiments will concern the “active skin” developed by the Mechanics department in the context of the Labex project ACTION (see icb.u-bourgogne.fr/labex/index.html). First of all, this platform will be adapted by a student master. Currently, this system performs distributed control close to noise propagating in a nozzle. The control is handled by microphones and speakers disposed along the nozzle boundary. It is computed in real time by a network of independent microcontrollers, each of them being associated with a couple of sensor and actuator. So the challenge is to introduce the possibility of communications between neighbor microcontrollers in order to implement control laws based on communications between neighbors.
The thesis will consist in a theoretical study of distributed control laws suited for the platform and their approximation for an implementation on the microcontrollers network.
Required skills: The candidate must have strong skills in Mathematics especially in Partial Differential Equations and in Computer Science.
Application:
