A self-tuning regulator (STR) is a type of adaptive control system that automatically adjusts its parameters in real-time to optimize performance and maintain desired control objectives. It combines the principles of model reference adaptive control (MRAC) with on-line parameter estimation, allowing it to adapt to changes in system dynamics without needing prior knowledge of the plant model. This ability to self-tune makes STR particularly effective for systems with varying characteristics or uncertain dynamics.
congrats on reading the definition of Self-Tuning Regulator (STR). now let's actually learn it.
