Adaptive Inverse Control

Bernard Widrow, PhD, has been Professor of Electrical Engineering at Stanford University for forty years. Together with M.E. Hoff, Jr., Dr. Widrow invented the LMS algorithm, which is now the world's most widely used learning algorithm. He is the recipient of numerous industry awards and holds twenty U.S. or foreign patents. Dr. Widrow has published nearly 200 papers, two of which became Citation Classics.Eugene Walach, PhD, is Director and Senior Researcher of R&D Management at IBM Haifa (Israel) Research Labs. His research areas include industrial vision-based applications, low-level image analysis, and signal processing. He and Dr. Widrow developed their system of adaptive inverse control.
