Alberto Padoan: Part 2 (Distances between behaviours and inControl podcast)

This episode features the second part of my interview with the fantastic Alberto Padoan! Featuring discussions of data-driven modelling in a geometric/ non-linear context, how to define distances in a behavioural systems setting, and the origin story of his podcast, inControl.You can find the transcript at: https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/y67vmp Follow the podcast on linkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/coffee-and-control-podcastOr connect with me personally: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-hodgins-733a30175/Alberto episode part 1: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1kwlnlQqtID1naRcyLL12OPaolo Rapisarda: https://www.southampton.ac.uk/people/5x2hb9/professor-paolo-rapisarda(Coffee and Control episode) https://open.spotify.com/episode/076dEw28abILPAbT5qA6awPersistency of excitation for autonomous systems: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=7902166Giordano Scarciotti: https://giordanoscarciotti.com/ Alessandro Astolfi: https://profiles.imperial.ac.uk/a.astolfiAlessandro’s paper on moment matching: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/5437314Almost periodicity: https://www.johndcook.com/blog/2022/02/16/almost-periodic-functions/Examples of uses of polynomial matrices in behaviouralsystems context: https://research.rug.nl/en/publications/linear-differential-systems-2Conical, convex, and affine behaviours paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=10383687Jan Willems behavioural systems paper: https://homes.esat.kuleuven.be/~sistawww/smc/jwillems/Articles/ConferenceArticles/2002/5.pdfEttore Fornasini: https://www.dei.unipd.it/~fornasini/Data-driven control Stuttgart: ⁠https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/Y3ytXoAutonomous e-scooter: https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/oMiusDSoft robotics: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9992740MPC control of covid outbreaks: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S136757882030078X?via%3DihubFlorian Dörfler: https://dorfler.ethz.ch/John Lygeros: https://control.ee.ethz.ch/people/profile.john-lygeros.htmlJeremy Coulson:  https://jeremycoulson.github.io/ Keith Moffat: www.keithmoffat.comAlessandro Chuiso: https://automatica.dei.unipd.it/alessandro-chiuso/Linear quadratic tracking paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=7068299Ivan Markovsky: https://imarkovs.github.io/Distances between finite horizon behaviours: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=11022752Uncertainty quantification in data-driven control: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=9993002 Split-as-a-pro: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.19411Yu Tang: https://nccr-automation.ch/about/people/yu-tangCarlo Cenedese: https://ee.ethz.ch/the-department/people-a-z/person-detail.Mjg0OTQz.TGlzdC8zMjc5LC0xNjUwNTg5ODIw.htmlAlessio Rimoldi: https://github.com/AlessioRimoldiBehavioural uncertainty gap metric paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/9993002Vidyasagar inControl episode (ep 33): https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/wfzcsiMalcolm Smith: https://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/profiles/mcs1000Glenn Vinnicombe: https://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/profiles/gv103DeePC: https://arxiv.org/abs/1811.05890CDC/LSS paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.22849Steve Brunton SVD series: https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/isMaZSinControl podcast: https://www.incontrolpodcast.com/ NCCR automation: https://nccr-automation.ch/Rudolf Kalman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudolf_E._K%C3%A1lm%C3%A1nJan Willems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jan_Camiel_WillemsGeorge Zames: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_ZamesNorbert Weiner inControl episode: https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/7PQUfdRichard Bellman inControl episode: https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/XGgk11(Miroslav Kristic) https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/1RD07e(Tryphon Georgiou) https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/mwpfwx(Mustafa Khammash) https://CoffeeControlLinks.short.gy/T0BsyS
