Model Free Adaptive Control

The book summarizes theory and applications of data-driven model-free adaptive control (MFAC) which is different from the traditional adaptive control. The traditional unmodeled dynamics do not exist in MFAC framework. In addition, MFAC is suitable for many practical applications since it is easily implemented and has strong robustness. By reading this book, readers become familiar with MFAC in a short time, and can quickly carry out their independent research and applications.
