Aiming at this problem, a feedback-assisted iterative learning control strategy, which learned unknown modeling error by using previous control information repeatedly, was introduced into Smith prediction monitoring AGC system. Firstly, conventional Smith predictor and improved Smith predictor with PI-P controller were analyzed. Secondly, on the basis of establishing of feedback-assisted iterative learning control strategy for improved Smith predictor, process control signal update law and control error were deduced, then convergence condition of this strategy was put forward and proved. Finally, after modeling the automatic position control system, the PI-P Smith prediction monitoring AGC system with feedback-assisted iterative learning control was researched through simulation. Simulation results indicate that this system remains stable during model mismatching. The robustness and response of monitoring AGC is improved by development of feedback-assisted iterative learning control strategy for PI-P Smith predictor.展开更多

We analytically examined the effect of a method of minimizing movements in positions on a plate with varying generation of noise-heat. Control by monitoring temperature changes caused larger movements in positions than that without control because maximum change in temperature occurred at non-monitoring positions. The best method of minimizing movements in positions due to thermal expansion of a plate with varying generation of noise-heat was model predictive control by the monitoring movements and distributed temperature changes in the control heater according to the effects of the generation of noise-heat. The maximum movement in positions was 6 nm, which was 1/4 times of that without control.展开更多

Based on force control, a robotic subsystem has been developed for path automatic generation or path learning. Using a dummy tool and roughly taught guiding points around a part contour, the robot moves in position and force controlled hybrid mode, following the order of the guiding points and with contact force direction and value predefined. During the motion, robot actual position is recorded by the robot controller. After the motion, the recorded position data is used to generate a robot path program automatically. Robot lead-through may be used in the guiding point teaching. Furthermore, a GUI （graphical user interface） is developed on the teach pedant to guide through the guiding point creation and teaching, path learning, program verification and execution. The development has been incorporated into a robotic machining product option. Combination of the robot path learning function and GUI enhances the interaction between the robot and operator and drastically increases the level of robotic ease-of-use.展开更多

To handle this synchronization problem this paper proposes a force/position switching scheme, which partitions the two cylinders into a master cylinder and a slave cylinder. The master cylinder is always position tracking controlled by a second-order sliding mode controller and the slave cylinder is integrated with a force tracking controller which is a first order sliding mode controller. When the position tracking error is less than a given value, the slave cylinder switches to be force controlled. Two synchronization control methods are presented based on the switching scheme： the master - master ＋ force/position switching control and the master - slave ＋ force/position switching control. Simulations show that the formance compared with two given proposed synchronization control position-based control methods. methods can get a better per-展开更多
