The recommended reading material for the course is:

• [WL] Lavretsky and Wise, Robust and Adaptive Control with Aerospace Applications. Spring, 2013.
  • link (Digital access through GT Library)
• [H] Hovakinyam, Robust Adaptive Control: UIUC MechSE 598, 2009.
  • (Digital access through Canvas course page).

Both provide a similar approach to digesting and learning about Adaptive Control. The course lectures and contents will more closely track the Lecture Notes of Naira Hovakimyan and the Lavretsky & Wise textbook. These authors have made contributions to modern implementation of Adaptive Control and provide their take on the field from a state space perspective. Both references are very similar.

The official, but not recommended, textbook for the course is:

• [IS] Ioannou and Sun, Robust Adaptive Control, Prentice-Hall, 1996. (online)

As an older text, it includes a fair amount of Laplace or frequency domain coverage of adaptive control. This perspective is less compatible with modern control methods.

Other books on Adaptive Control from researchers in the field include:

• Krstic, Kanellakopoulos, and Kokotovic, Nonlinear and Adaptive Control Design, John Wiley & Sons, 1995.
• Marino and Tomei, Nonlinear Control Design: Geometric, Adaptive, Robust, Prentice-Hall, 1995.
• Sastry and Bodson, Adaptive Control: Stability, Convergence, and Robustness, Prentice-Hall, 1994. (online).

The first has potentially interesting material that is pertinent to contemporary nonlinear control. Additional books considered classics include the following:

• Narendra and Annaswamy, Stable Adaptive Control, Prentice-Hall, 1989.
• Slotine and Li, Applied Nonlinear Control, Prentice-Hall, 1991. (has chapter on Adaptive Control).
• Y. Kim and F.L. Lewis, High-Level Feedback Control with Neural Networks, World Scientific, Singapore, 1998.
• F.L. Lewis, S. Jagannathan, and A. Yesildirek, Neural Network Control of Robot Manipulators and Nonlinear Systems, Taylor and Francis, London, 1999. (online)

The texts below provide a more advanced perspective and application of adaptive control.
