ADAPTIVE FUZZY CONTROL FOR ROBOT ARM MANIPULATOR WITH 5-DOF

To control the robot and track the designed trajectory with uncertain disturbances in a specified precision range, an adaptive fuzzy control scheme for the robot arm manipulator is discussed. The controller output error method （COEM） is used to design the adaptive fuzzy controller. A few or all of the parameters of the controller are adjusted by using the gradient descent algorithm to minimize the output error. COEM is adopted in the adaptive control system for the robot arm manipulator with 5-DOF. Simulation results show the effectiveness of the method and the real time adjustment of the parameters.

Inhibition characteristics of circulating current in parallel inverter driving system of mine hoist

This research investigated the outputting circulation current inhibition characteristic which are controlled by the instantaneous feedback voltage in inverter parallel driving of the mine hoist. We established a transfer function of the parallel inverters controlled by the close-loop adjustment of instantaneous voltage feedback. The influence of the parameters of the close-loop feedback circuit to the inhibition effects to the outputting circulation current is observed. After analyzing the circulating current inhibition characteristics, the proportion integration （PI） controller is introduced into the close-loop adjustment by instantaneous voltage feedback. The characteristics equation is gained to determine the PI parameters by drawing the Bode plots. The inhibition effects of the proposed controller are examined by the established simulation model of parallel inverter system. The harmonic distortion rate at the outputting voltage frequency value of 4, 10, 20, 41 and 50 Hz, are all lower than 2.32 % by the instantaneous outputting voltage feedback.

Adaptive controller design based on input-output signal selection for voltage source converter high voltage direct current systems to improve power system stability

An input-output signal selection based on Phillips-Heffron model of a parallel high voltage alternative current/high voltage direct current(HVAC/HVDC) power system is presented to study power system stability. It is well known that appropriate coupling of inputs-outputs signals in the multivariable HVDC-HVAC system can improve the performance of designed supplemetary controller. In this work, different analysis techniques are used to measure controllability and observability of electromechanical oscillation mode. Also inputs–outputs interactions are considered and suggestions are drawn to select the best signal pair through the system inputs-outputs. In addition, a supplementary online adaptive controller for nonlinear HVDC to damp low frequency oscillations in a weakly connected system is proposed. The results obtained using MATLAB software show that the best output-input for damping controller design is rotor speed deviation as out put and phase angle of rectifier as in put. Also response of system equipped with adaptive damping controller based on HVDC system has appropriate performance when it is faced with faults and disturbance.

Robust H∞ output feedback control for a class of uncertain Lur＇e systems with time-delays

In this work, the analysis of robust stability and design of robust H∞ output feedback controllers for a class of Lur'e systems with both time-delays and parameter uncertainties were studied. A robust H∞ output feedback controller based on Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs) was developed to guarantee the robust stability and H∞ performance of the resultant closed-loop system. The presented design approach is based on the application of descriptor model transformation and Park's inequality for the bounding of cross terms and is expected to be less conservative compared to reported design methods. Finally, illustrative examples are advanced to demonstrate the superiority of the obtained method.

Controlled Teleportation of Multi-qudit Quantum Information by Entanglement Swapping

In this paper, we present a scheme for teleporting multi-qudit quantum state, from the sender Alice to the receiver Charlie via many controllers Bobs, whose control parameters are obtained using entanglement swapping of maximally d-dimensional EPR pair. In our scheme, Yang＇s qutrit controlled teleportation protocol [Commun. Theor. Phys. 49 （2008） 338] based on Bell-state entanglement swapping is generalized to the qudit case. The scheme of multi-qudit owns the advantage of having higher code capacity and better security than that of multi-qutrit.

Multi-loop Internal Model Controller Design Based on a Dynamic PLS Framework

In this paper,a multi-loop internal model control(IMC) scheme in conjunction with feed-forward strategy based on the dynamic partial least squares(DyPLS) framework is proposed.Unlike the traditional methods to decouple multi-input multi-output(MIMO) systems,the DyPLS framework automatically decomposes the MIMO process into a multi-loop system in the PLS subspace in the modeling stage.The dynamic filters with identical structure are used to build the dynamic PLS model,which retains the orthogonality among the latent variables.To address the model mismatch problem,an off-line least squares method is applied to obtain a set of optimal filter parameters in each latent space.Without losing the merits of model-based control,a simple and easy-tuned IMC structure is readily carried over to the dynamic PLS control framework.In addition,by projecting the measurable disturbance into the latent subspace,a multi-loop feed-forward control is yielded to achieve better performance for disturbance rejection.Simulation results of a distillation column are used to further demonstrate this new strategy outperforms conventional control schemes in servo behavior and disturbance rejection.

Chatter free sliding mode control of a chaotic coal mine power grid with small energy inputs

An augmented proportional-integral sliding surface was designed for a sliding mode controller. A chatter free sliding mode control strategy for a chaotic coal mine power grid was developed. The stability of the control strategy was proven by Lyapunov stability theorem. The proposed sliding mode control strategy eliminated the chattering phenomenon by replacing the sign function with a saturation function, and by replacing the constant coefficients in the reaching law with adaptive ones. An immune genetic algorithm was used to optimize the parameters in the improved reaching law. The cut-in time of the controllers was optimized to reduce the peak energy of their output. Simulations showed that the proposed sliding mode controller has good, chatter flee performance.

Method of spillover identification in urban street networks using loop detector outputs

Quick and reliable identification of the traffic state is of critical importance to traffic control systems, especially when spillovers appear. Firstly, a calculation method for the occupancy per cycle under different traffic conditions were presented, based on the relationship between the three basic traffic flow parameters, speed, traffic flow and density. Secondly, the times at which the stopping and starting waves approach a loop detector were confirmed using the traffic wave models modified by a kinematic equation. Then, the threshold of occupancy, which characterizes the appearance of spillovers, was determined by the premise that the stopping and starting waves had the same speed. At last, the accuracy and usability of the new method were verified by VISSIM simulation, using the ratio of misjudgment as the evaluation index. The results show that the ratio of misjudgment of the new method is about 11.36% compared to 17.65% of the previous method.

Development of Multi-Fingered Prosthetic Hand Using Shape Memory Alloy Type Artificial Muscle

A new prosthetic hand with a fixed thumb and four fingers actuated by Shape Memory Alloy （SMA） type artificial muscle has been developed in this paper. Different from typical geared motor, SMA actuator is lightweight and silent, however shows a little short stroke and small attracting force per each unit. In order to achieve enough output force and motion range of each finger, multiple SMA type artificial muscles with special device which facilitates enough length are equipped in the hand. The fundamental properties of the SMA type artificial muscle including output force and electrical response were determined experimentally and considered for the design of hand mechanism. Besides, the structure of each finger and whole system has been designed based on observation of human hand. The electrical hardware to control multiple shape memory alloy type artificial muscles has been also developed. Finally, the usefulness of the prosthetic hand has been investigated through experiments for grasping several types of objects.

Improvement of one-cycle controller by use of proportional integral differential controller

The main advantage of one-cycle control is its ability to reject input disturbance in one-cycle. Despite this great ability, it can not provide good responses in following commands and rejecting load disturbance. This study explores the way to overcome these problems by using another controller. Although the idea of using output feedback has been used in previous works, by considering a simple model for one-cycle controller, the design of the controller has become simpler in this work. In the proposed method, difficult mathematical modeling is avoided. Based on decupling of effects of feedback and input voltage disturbance, a simple model for one-cycle controller has been given. Therefore, by employing a conventional averaging method and the model of one-cycle controller, design of proportional integral differential controller has become straightforward.

Steering Multiple Reverse Current into Unidirectional Current in Deterministic Ratchets

Recent investigations have shown that with varying the amplitude of the external force, the deterministic ratchets exhibit multiple current reversals, which are undesirable in certain circumstances. To control the multiple reverse current to unidirectional current, an adaptive control law is presented inspired from the relation between multiple reversaJs current and the chaos-periodic/quasiperiodic transition of the transport velocity. The designed controller can stabilize the transport velocity of ratchets to steady state and suppress any chaos-periodic/quasiperiodic transition, namely, the stable transport in ratchets is achieved, which makes the current sign unchanged.

TSM control of the delayed input system

The paper proposed a terminal sliding mode control method for the delayed input system with uncertainties. Firstly, through the state transformation, the original system was transformed into the non-delayed controllabte canonical form system. Then the paper designed a terminal sliding mode and terminal sliding control law with Lyapunov method for the transformed system. Through the method, the reaching time of the any initial state and the convergencing time to the equilibrium points are constrained in finite time. The simulation results show the validation of the method.

Global Robust and Adaptive Output Feedback Dynamic Positioning of Surface Ships

A constructive method was presented to design a global robust and adaptive output feedback controller for dynamic positioning of surface ships under environmental disturbances induced by waves, wind, and ocean currents. The ship's parameters were not required to be known. An adaptive observer was first designed to estimate the ship's velocities and parameters. The ship position measurements were also passed through the adaptive observer to reduce high frequency measurement noise from entering the control system. Using these estimate signals, the control was then designed based on Lyapunov's direct method to force the ship's position and orientation to globally asymptotically converge to desired values. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system. In conclusion, the paper presented a new method to design an effective control system for dynamic positioning of surface ships.

Hand-eye-vision based control for an inspection robot's autonomous line grasping

In order to ensure that the off-line arm of a two-arm-wheel combined inspection robot can reliably grasp the line in case of autonomous obstacle crossing,a control method is proposed for line grasping based on hand-eye visual servo.On the basis of the transmission line's geometrical characteristics and the camera's imaging principle,a line recognition and extraction method based on structure constraint is designed.The line's intercept and inclination are defined in an imaging space to represent the robot's change of pose and a law governing the pose decoupling servo control is developed.Under the integrated consideration of the influence of light intensity and background change,noise(from the camera itself and electromagnetic field)as well as the robot's kinetic inertia on the robot's imaging quality in the course of motion and the grasping control precision,a servo controller for grasping the line of the robot's off-line arm is designed with the method of fuzzy control.An experiment is conducted on a 1:1 simulation line using an inspection robot and the robot is put into on-line operation on a real overhead transmission line,where the robot can grasp the line within 18 s in the case of autonomous obstacle-crossing.The robot's autonomous line-grasping function is realized without manual intervention and the robot can grasp the line in a precise,reliable and efficient manner,thus the need of actual operation can be satisfied.

Control of Nonlinear Systems with Output Tracking Error Constraints

A oanstructive method is presented to design controllers that force the output of nonlinear systems in a strict feedback form to track a bounded and sufficient smooth reference trajectory asymptotically. Under suitable condition with the initial output tracking error, the proposed controllers guarantee the output tracking error within a symmtric or an asymmetric pre-specified limit range, and boundedness of all signals of the closed loop system. A transformation is inmxuced to take care of the output tracking error constraint. Smooth and/or p -times differentiable step functions are propsed and incor- porated in the output tracking error transformation to overcome difficulties due to the asynxnetric limit range on the output tracking error. As a result, there are no switchings in the proposed controllers despite of the asymmnetric limit range.

Euler-Lagrange Modeling and Passivity Based Control of Buck Converters with Input Filter

In this paper, buck converters with input filter are modeled using the Euler Lagrange formalism and then build a PBC （passivity based controller）. The model is validated, by comparing its response with those of two switched circuits： sylnmetric and asymmetric. In the former, both switches are realized by MOSFETS while in the second one of them is realized by a diode. It is then showed by simulation and, explained with energy-based arguments why the obtained model thoroughly represents only the symmetric circuit. The model is then used to build a passivity-based control law. As this control law assumes the stability of the zero dynamic, conditions under which this hypothesis is satisfied, are first given. It is shown by simulation with switched circuits the robustness of the proposed controller against load variations. Then, a prediction of the source variations is included in the controller in order to render it robust against source variations.
