Discrete-time adaptive control algorithms are crucial for systems with digital implementations. These methods use sampled data to adjust controller parameters, ensuring optimal performance in changing conditions. They're essential for modern control systems in various industries.
MRAC and STR are two main approaches in discrete-time adaptive control. MRAC aims to match plant behavior to a reference model, while STR focuses on optimizing performance through parameter estimation and control design. Both techniques offer robust solutions for uncertain systems.
