Abstract :
An effort to investigate an environment for the design, implementation and evaluation of hierarchical, distributed, intelligent hybrid control is summarized. Hybrid control here means an integrated approach to continuous physical devices (mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, etc.) being controlled by discrete computational units (digital CPUs). Nonlinear dynamical systems theory is being used to support the design and analysis of controls and the adaptation of simulation tools from this area to control problems
