Abstract

The focus of this paper is to describe an implementation of a knowledge-based controller for hybrid systems. In this paper, hybrid systems are defined as systems whose dynamics and requirements are represented by an amalgamation of two types of objects. The first type of object is a model of the dynamical system of interest, which may evolves with time. This is also referred as an evolution object. The second type of object is referred as a logic object, which is a set of axioms and theorems that specify the requirements imposed on the dynamical system. The logic object may specify its interaction with the environment and also contain the design knowledge that enables online design of control laws. An implementation of a knowledge-based controller, called RT-MEDAL, for hybrid systems is given
