Co-Design: Optimal Design and Optimal Control

Keywords: ABS control, automotive suspension, combined design and control, controllability Grammian, control proxy function, coupling, dc motor, dual-mode HEV, EcoRacer, engine calibration, game-based, MEMS actuator, microgrid, nested plant/controller optimization, online identification, plug-in vehicle, robust control, self-learning, stochastic control.

Note: Co-Design here means the concurrent design of an artifact (plant) along with its controller, which essential for smartproduct and system design. It is different from co-design meaning designers and users designing together.
