Funded Activity Summary

Robust Control and Filtering for Regulation of Flow in Implantable Rotary Blood Pumps. This project aims to derive and implement a novel, robust and non-invasive dynamical modelling, state estimation and physiological control to enable a left ventricular assist device to behave in a natural Frank-Starling like manner. The proposed multi-objective platforms will utilise sensorless feedback signals (measurements) from the left ventricular assist device to design a robust, adaptive and responsive control system that effectively controls the operation of the pump to meet the body's physiological needs, perturbations and to cope with changing physiological demands. This will allow, for example, heart failure patients to resume their normal daily lives and minimise the need for continuous supervision by clinical staff.
