The purpose of this paper is to present MCS as applied to web tension and transport control, a class of plant that has highly nonlinear dynamics and time varying parameters. The plant is difficult to control by conventional methods over its full operating range. A typical example of such a plant is presented along with the implementation of MCS. Experimental comparisons of MCS with conventional control benchmarks are provided. It is shown that MCS significantly outperforms the conventional controller.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"12 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":"114922964","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}

Because the necessary computation of dynamic control laws of robotic manipulators are usually quite heavy for single processor, multiprocessor systems are often adopted to implement digital controllers. The proposed parallel processing scheme is general enough to compute all kind of dynamic control laws of robotic manipulators which are represented by sum of products. A practical scheduling algorithm is also proposed for the parallel processing scheme. The dynamic control laws of robotic manipulators are usually containing a lot of redundant operations. With the scheduling algorithm, those redundant operations can be removed effectively from applying the factorization algorithm which have been already presented by authors in the previous papers.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"3 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":"117128580","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}

While the computation of equilibrium exploits the circumstance that in such a state no power flows into the storage elements, the methods concerning its stability rely on the fact that, when choosing (a function of) the energy stored in the system as (candidate) Lyapunov function, its orbital derivative can he directly evaluated in terms of the power flow through the bonds of the graph. Armature- and field-voltage control laws for a DC-machine are derived as applications of the methods.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"5 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":"117327821","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}

During the braking period the motor operates under heavy saturation and severe voltage and current transients may be induced in the motor. Hence, adequate braking performance prediction requires that, not only the main flux, but also the leakage flux saturation be taken into account. The result shows that if the leakage flux saturation is included in the analysis, there is a better theoretical-experimental correlation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"34 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120860476","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}

In Sinha, Kayalar, and Yurtseven (1990), a model reference system was introduced by ignoring the Coriolis terms where the system of nonlinear equations were almost decoupled by careful selection of nonlinear input torque expression. Varying a single parameter provided a stable solution about a known equilibrium point. In this work, the authors propose to extend the model reference system of Seraji (1988) to the case where there is parameter uncertainty and noise due to model imperfections. It is shown that a linear state feedback type of input torque provides a stable solution under uncertainty. A new theoretical method of stabilization of robot manipulator dynamics by nonlinear feedback is given. A partial linearization of robot arm control may yield a simpler nonlinear feedback control which has not yet been considered. The results obtained apply to a large class of nonlinear control systems.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"54 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":"125952814","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}

This paper presents a new soft-commutated PWM inverter, in which an AC current transformer and a main resonant capacitor are used to detect the value and the polarity of the AC load current, and to realize the soft-commutation of the switches without causing the above deteriorative problems. The operation and the characteristics of this soft-commutated PWM inverter are analyzed and its usefulness is confirmed by experiments.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"1 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":"125029697","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}

A decrease in processing time can be attained by decomposing the algorithm into portions which can run concurrently on a multiprocessor. Implementing an algorithm for a multiprocessor operating system can be arduous and time-consuming; a change to multiprocessor or to the decomposition of the algorithm may require that large portions of the implementation be completely re-written. In this paper we present a utility to graphically model a process or algorithm as a directed, acyclic graph of nodes. The calculations which each node are to perform can then be entered by a programmer. The utility determines a node-to-processor allocation, then combines the node calculations allocated to each processor, and generates all initialisation and inter-node communications code. We present this utility as a tool for investigating multiprocessor multi-tasking algorithms, with application to robotics and control processes. Results of processes which have been so modelled are given.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"1 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":"129490255","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}

Because landmarks on ceiling are not obstructed by any objects, robots can find them easier than landmarks on the floor. In the recognition process, gathering quadrangles in the image are regarded as anemo, the gravity center and the slope of these quadrangles are calculated. Then the navigation system can calculate the distance and the angle of the anemo from map information. As a result, the navigation system can identify the present robot's position and orientation. By the proposed algorithm, if the landmark is not being taken completely, the landmark is inferred by partial information. In the experiments, we compared the error made by the robot which are navigated by our system with the error made by the robot which moves based on deadreckoning.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":132101,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IECON '93 - 19th Annual Conference of IEEE Industrial Electronics","volume":"9 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":"129699884","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}
