We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Adaptive Control",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Simulation software suits complex problems from
CyboSoft, which we summarised at the time by saying "MFA Control Toolbox for Matlab enables users to simulate, test, and evaluate the MFA controllers on their sophisticated process models built in the Matlab/Simulink environment".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Delmia improves Airbus' drilling from
Delmia: "A drilling process which incorporates Delmia V5 R16 Robotics software should reduce costs, cut production time and improve quality for Airbus".
In April 2007, we covered the news from Kuka Robotics
- take a look at Robots to pioneer US university programme
which says: "Lawrence Technological University selects Kuka robots for its MSc in mechatronic systems engineering degree programme, billed as the first of its kind in the USA".
Take a look also at the news release from Metris, Software enhances CMM,
as well as Smaller servos save space for machine builders from Mitsubishi Electric Automation Systems,
and Patent portfolio grows to 156 from Pavilion Technologies.
