Safety Control of Linear Systems with Input Delay via Observer Predictor

https://doi.org/10.58571/CNCA.AMCA.2025.032

Resumen: The problem of safety control for linear systems with delay in the input is addressed via an observer predictor. Under this approach, no implementation of any integral is required, avoiding potential instability phenomena that might induce violation of the imposed constraints in the state space. We provide some insights into how to select the parameters of the observer predictor scheme to guarantee that the system trajectories remain within a given set of the state space.
