Patent ID: 6941177

Claim:
A method for developing and using real time applications using stochastic compute time algorithms in the form of constrained optimization techniques under feedback control to control a closed-loop, complex dynamic system including a sensing subsystem, actuation subsystem, control subsystem, and application subsystem, comprising: receiving initial detector data, optimization functions, desired state and constraints; inferring an actual system state from said initial detector data, wherein said actual system state is expressed in constraints; inferring a desired system state from said desired state and constraints; generating a statistical description of the dynamic system, utilizing the difference between said actual system state inferred from said initial detector data and said desired system state, wherein at least one received optimization function is applied to optimize said initial detector data over a time budget to determine a probability distribution of errors; developing a desired control strategy based on said statistical description, comprising utilizing constraint optimization techniques; determining at least one control signal to issue for said desired control strategy; executing said control signals in a real time application; receiving a next set of detector data, wherein said next set of detector data is expressed in system constraints; and providing feedback control comprising updating said statistical description with said next set of detector data.
