In the reference solution, the system is completely stopped: it needs a long time for the current to reach zero, and then its new value, because the DC link inductance must be demagnetized and remagnetized; moreover an auxiliary starter is needed. In the proposed solution, the input of the current inverter is short-circuited whenever a transfer must be performed; the inductance remains magnetized and the current at the output of the inverter varies very quickly: the transfer time is minimal and no starter is needed; the specific inverter control laws used to insure natural commutation are described. The paper also presents average models of the system, obtained by combining average and dynamic or static first harmonic modelling methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"2022 4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132016801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well known that the sensitivity of the dynamic stability with respect to any parameter variations of the system matrix, A, can be characterized by the sensitivity of the eigenvalues with respect to the parameter variations. Based on a control system devised for stable operation of the LCCSI-induction motor system without a speed sensor, the eigenvalue sensitivity analysis corresponding to the three related control plants from open loop to closed loop is described. The eigenvalue sensitivity analysis clearly shows the possible sources of the system instability as well as comprehensive results against the system parameter variations over the nominal operating frequency range.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"83 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132103823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An object recognition process for interactive environmental map building is developed by combining simple independent recognition agents with a cooperation mechanism to achieve real-time data acquisition in a changing environment. The cooperation mechanism is obtained by designing each independent agent to work recursively while referring to a common object model. This method provides a flexible recognition process that interactively produces useful results, even from complicated environment scenes. The proposed method is shown to work successfully.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130237788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The advantages of using this kind of communication system essentially lie in the fact that it reduces the complexity of the electrical wiring, the costs involved in installation, and the documentation required, and simplifies updating of the control system. By contrast, the complexity of the functions required of the robot entails a considerable exchange of information between processes, which stresses use of the bandwidth offered by the communication medium. The authors deal with the problem of the management of control traffic, exploiting IEC FieldBus features, and assessing its behaviour in different traffic conditions. Despite the particular application considered, the results obtained have a general validity and show the ability of the FieldBus to meet the communication requirements of time critical systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"276 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131533428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Navigating a robot in an unfamiliar terrain is a major topic of autonomy. This paper presents an insect-based approach to autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown world. In the \"N-antennae robot method\", the robot is considered as an simple insect with N antennae with which it detects the surrounding environment. Each antenna is activated if it hits an obstacle. The robot architecture is presented and different levels of behavior are defined. The N-antennae robot method is then described. It can be divided into 4 parts: 1. Simulation of an antenna, 2. Relations between the environment and the antennae status, 3. Principles of \"N-antennae robot\" method, 4. Rule format and program structure. The method was programmed and tested in various environments. Several are only simulated, others are reals. An example of the robot's path illustrates the method. We conclude on the efficiency of the method and we present future developments of this approach using a multi-agent system.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124533776","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
