Then, the distributed scheme is formulated as a time-varying quadratic programming(QP) and solved online utilizing a noise-tolerant zeroing neural network(NTZNN). Theoretical analysis shows that the NTZNN model converges globally to the optimal solution of QP in the presence of noise. Finally, the effectiveness of the control design is demonstrated by numerical simulations and physical platform experiments.展开更多

文摘For the detection environment of complex walls such as high-rise buildings,a double helix wall climbing robot(DHWCR)with strong adsorption force and good stability is designed and developed,which uses symmetrical propellers to provide adsorption force.The symmetrical driving structure can provide smooth thrust for the DHWCR,so that the robot can be absorbed to the wall surface with different roughness.A left and right control frame with multiple degrees of freedom is designed,which can adjust the fixed position of the brushless propeller motor in the front and back directions,realize the continuous adjustable thrust direction of the robot,and improve the flexibility of the robot movement.Using the front wheel steering mechanism with universal joint,the steering control of the DHWCR is realized by differential control.In the vertical to ground transition,the front and rear brushless motors can provide the pull up and oblique thrust,so that the DHWCR can smoothly transition to the vertical wall.The motion performance and adaptability of the DHWCR in the horizontal ground and vertical wall environment are tested.The results show that the DHWCR can switch motion between the horizontal ground and vertical wall,and can stably adsorb on the vertical wall with flexible attitude control.The DHWCR can move at a fast speed.The speed on the horizontal ground is higher than that on the vertical wall,which verifies the feasibility and reliability of the DHWCR moving stably on the vertical wall.

文摘The contour error was analyzed based on CNC multi-axis motion control, the contour error model was obtained focused on beeline and different radius of curvature and common contour of curve, for a CNC biaxial motion control system and the mechanism of producing contour error and the relationship between tracking error and contour error were presented. The theoretical and practical significance of modeling error and controlling error in motion control systems was carried out.
文摘A feedforward compensation naethod of the motion errors of NC machine tools imple- mented with software is proposed , with which the motion errors can be compensated whithout changing the original computer control systems of the NC machine tools. The experimental results show that the circular interpolation profile machining errors decrease by a factor of 2/3 after com- pensated.

文摘This paper presents an energy-efficient control strategy for electric vehicles(EVs)driven by in-wheel-motors(IWMs)based on discrete adaptive sliding mode control(DASMC).The nonlinear vehicle model,tire model and IWM model are established at first to represent the operation mechanism of the whole system.Based on the modeling,two virtual control variables are used to represent the longitudinal and yaw control efforts to coordinate the vehicle motion control.Then DASMC method is applied to calculate the required total driving torque and yaw moment,which can improve the tracking performance as well as the system robustness.According to the vehicle nonlinear model,the additional yaw moment can be expressed as a function of longitudinal and lateral tire forces.For further control scheme development,a tire force estimator using an unscented Kalman filter is designed to estimate real-time tire forces.On these bases,energy efficient torque allocation method is developed to distribute the total driving torque and differential torque to each IWM,considering the motor energy consumption,the tire slip energy consumption,and the brake energy~?recovery.Simulation results of the proposed control strategy using the co-platform of Matlab/Simulink and CarSim way.

文摘Inspired by the success of WaveNet in multi-subject speech synthesis,we propose a novel neural network based on causal convolutions for multi-subject motion modeling and generation.The network can capture the intrinsic characteristics of the motion of different subjects,such as the influence of skeleton scale variation on motion style.Moreover,after fine-tuning the network using a small motion dataset for a novel skeleton that is not included in the training dataset,it is able to synthesize high-quality motions with a personalized style for the novel skeleton.The experimental results demonstrate that our network can model the intrinsic characteristics of motions well and can be applied to various motion modeling and synthesis tasks.
