Model-based feedforward control is a predictive control strategy using a mathematical model of the system to predict the control input needed for a desired trajectory. Unlike feedback control, which ...

Research to enable a fully autonomous BHA is proceeding. Development of a virtual test system enables operators to simulate trajectory automation and control by conducting a virtual field test. The ...

Electronic systems using light waves instead of voltage signals is advantageous, as electromagnetic light waves oscillate at petaherz frequency. This means that future computers could operate at ...
