| description | The operational environments of engineering systems are becoming increasingly complex and require automatic control systems to be more intelligent. Cognitive control extends the domain of intelligent control, whereby cognitive science theories are applied to guide the design of automatic control systems to make them conform to the human cognition paradigm and behave like a real person, hence improving physical systems performance. Cognitive control has been investigated in several fields, but a comprehensive review covering all these fields has yet to be provided in any paper. This paper first presents a review of cognitive control development and related works. Then, the relationship between cognitive control and cognitive science is analyzed, based on which the definition and framework of cognitive control are summarized from the perspective of automation and control. Cognitive control is then compared with similar concepts, such as cognitive radio and cognitive radar, and similar control methods, such as intelligent control, robust control, and adaptive control. Finally, the main issues, research directions, and development prospects are discussed. We expect that this paper will contribute to the development of cognitive control. |
