Summary:
In this paper we apply a switched Model Predictive Control strategy for the speed regulation of a powertrain system with backlash, composed by a motor and a load connected through an elastic shaft and a gear. We show that the proposed control strategy allows for a fast tracking, even in the presence of load torque, by completely suppressing rebounds on the gear teeth, which are instead evident if simpler (e.g., proportional-integral) control strategies are adopted.
