Abstract :
An automated drug administration system is proposed to control the decrease in the mean arterial blood pressure of dogs. It is accomplished by identifying a model for the open loop system consisting of a syringe pump and a dog. A linear feedback controller is then determined by solving an inverse optimum control problem. The chosen controller is optimal relative to a quadratic critexion. The controller is designed so that the mean arterial blood pressure is maintained at a desired level.
