Classification of Adaptive Control Techniques
In general one should distinguish between:
- Feedforward Adaptive Control
- Feedback Adaptive Control
as well as between
- Direct Methods and
- Indirect Methods
Direct methods are ones wherein the estimated parameters are those directly used in the adaptive controller. In contrast, indirect methods are those in which the estimated parameters are used to calculate required controller parameters
There are several broad categories of feedback adaptive control (classification can vary):
- Dual Adaptive Controllers
- Optimal Dual Controllers
- Suboptimal Dual Controllers
- Nondual Adaptive Controllers
- Adaptive Pole Placement
- Extremum Seeking Controllers
- Iterative learning control
- Gain scheduling
- Model Reference Adaptive Controllers (MRACs)
- Gradient Optimization MRACs
- Stability Optimized MRACs
- Model Identification Adaptive Controllers (MIACs)
- Cautious Adaptive Controllers
- Certainty Equivalent Adaptive Controllers
- Nonparametric Adaptive Controllers
- Parametric Adaptive Controllers
- Explicit Parameter Adaptive Controllers
- Implicit Parameter Adaptive Controllers
Some special topics in adaptive control can be introduced as well:
- Adaptive Control Based on Discrete-Time Process Identification
- Adaptive Control Based on the Model Reference Technique
- Adaptive Control based on Continuous-Time Process Models
- Adaptive Control of Multivariable Processes
- Adaptive Control of Nonlinear Processes

Famous quotes containing the words adaptive, control and/or techniques:
“The shift from the perception of the child as innocent to the perception of the child as competent has greatly increased the demands on contemporary children for maturity, for participating in competitive sports, for early academic achievement, and for protecting themselves against adults who might do them harm. While children might be able to cope with any one of those demands taken singly, taken together they often exceed children’s adaptive capacity.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Who can control his fate?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The techniques of opening conversation are universal. I knew long ago and rediscovered that the best way to attract attention, help, and conversation is to be lost. A man who seeing his mother starving to death on a path kicks her in the stomach to clear the way, will cheerfully devote several hours of his time giving wrong directions to a total stranger who claims to be lost.”
—John Steinbeck (1902–1968)
