TL;DR: The flexible constraint handling capabilities of MPC are shown to be a significant advantage in the context of the overall operating objectives of the process industries and the 1-, 2-, and ∞-norm formulations of the performance objective are discussed.
TL;DR: A sensorimotor integration task was investigated in which participants estimated the location of one of their hands at the end of movements made in the dark and under externally imposed forces, providing direct support for the existence of an internal model.
Abstract: On the basis of computational studies it has been proposed that the central nervous system internally simulates the dynamic behavior of the motor system in planning, control, and learning; the existence and use of such an internal model is still under debate. A sensorimotor integration task was investigated in which participants estimated the location of one of their hands at the end of movements made in the dark and under externally imposed forces. The temporal propagation of errors in this task was analyzed within the theoretical framework of optimal state estimation. These results provide direct support for the existence of an internal model.
TL;DR: The Internal Model Principle is extended to weakly nonlinear systems subjected to step disturbances and reference signals and is shown that, in the frequency domain, the purpose of the internal model is to supply closed loop transmission zeros which cancel the unstable poles of the disturbance andreference signals.
TL;DR: The 'minimum variance model' is another major recent advance in the computational theory of motor control, strongly suggesting that both kinematic and dynamic internal models are utilized in movement planning and control.
TL;DR: This review will focus on the possibility that the cerebellum contains an internal model or models of the motor apparatus, and the necessity of such a model and the evidence, based on the ocular following response, that inverse models are found within the Cerebellar circuitry.
