Slow sensors arise in many applications, including sensing of concentrations of chemicals in tracking of contaminant plumes. Slow sensors are often the cause of poor performance and a potential cause of instability. In this paper we design a modified extremum seeking scheme to account for and even to exploit slow sensor dynamics. We also consider the worst case, which is sensor dynamics governed by a pure integrator. We provide stability results for several distinct variations on our ES scheme. We use metal-oxide microhotplate gas sensors as a real world example of slow sensor dynamics, model the sensor based on experimental data, and provide extremum seeking simulation results employing the identified sensor model.
