  In this paper, the robust stability and disturbance rejection performance
analysis of an energy-efficient control is addressed in the framework of
Networked Control System (NCS). The control scheme under study integrates
periodic event-triggered control, packet-based control, time-varying Kalman
filter, dual-rate control and prediction techniques, whose design is aimed at
reducing energy consumption and bandwidth usage. The robust stability against
time-varying model uncertainties is analyzed by means of a suficient condition
based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMI). Finally, the effectiveness of the
proposed approach is experimentally validated in a tracking control for an
Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), which is a battery-constrained mobile device
with limited computation capacities.
