This study treats the acceleration-based bilateral control (ABC) as a basic controller. According to the analyses, it is shown that a trade-off between the operationality and the reproduction performance of the kinesthetic contact exists in designing the ABC under time delay. For addressing this, adjustment of the force control gain according to the situations of the bilateral control is proposed. For ensuring the stability of the system with the nonlinear controller, circle theorem is applied to the proposed system. Experimental results show that the proposed system can realize stable operation as well as the improved performance over the bilateral control system with constant gain.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121955713","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}

Shared control schemes may be useful for reducing the communication delay in time-critical tele-manipulation systems. Shared control scheme consists of two key components: intention prediction and command arbitration. An intuitive and novel strategy under which the human operator intention could be extracted seamlessly from the hand point to point path during the tele-manipulation process is developed in this paper. The new strategy is based on the environment scene awareness conducted at the remote side at the beginning of the tele-manipulation task. The developed strategy is tested experimentally with a simulation of a robot model in several remote environments to verify its accuracy and effectiveness. The results confirmed significant performance improvement in terms of reduced time using the proposed shared control scheme compared to the direct tele-manipulation scheme.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"158 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127447847","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 vehicle lends itself to represent a class of control problems that arise in many educational robotic devices custom built and assembled with low-end market components. We provide a detailed description of the equipment and describe the strategies adopted to suitably address backlash of the low-cost DC motors and disturbances arising from the voltage controlled hardware. Then we propose a nested control paradigm where an inner loop provides regulation of a virtual control requested by an outer loop that uses the pitch angle to regulate the longitudinal displacement and speed. Three saturation-based control laws are proposed for the outer loop, all of them allowing the designer to adjust the maximum pitch angle. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control laws and the operation of the developed prototype.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"40 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129105418","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}

Modeling of macroscopic behavior is usually tackled by using 1-input 1-output operators (displacement vs electric field or voltage vs stress), while it is well known that piezos are smart materials and the 4 variables are all coupled. Therefore, a 2-inputs 2-outputs hysteresis model would provide benefit. In this paper, a recently 2-inputs 2-outputs model proposed for magnetostriction is extended to piezoelectric behavior. The model can be developed by using a modified simple play operators superposition and the concept of hysteresis potential. Comparison with experiments on a piezoelectric actuator confirms that such an approach is able to reproduce the macroscopic behavior with sufficient accuracy.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130869778","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}

Industrial heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) control systems are used to maintain the required operating conditions for the finishing process even in presence of changes of the ambient air conditions. Industrial HVAC systems consist of different conditioning modules and a controlling device to control the temperature and humidity at the same time. This paper presents a model-based controller design for a series path air flow arrangement consisting of a heating coil and a spray humidifier. As a first step the governing model equations of the considered HVAC system are derived. Subsequently a disturbance feedforward controller based on the inversion of the derived model is designed.

In general, scaling factor of position and force is set into the controller. In this case, force is scaled not by only reaction force from environment but external force such as friction. Therefore, it is difficult to get haptic sense from environmental reaction force. In the proposed method, scaling ratio is defined by the product of physical scaling ratio and control scaling ratio. By using this method, the influence of external force is decreased compared with the conventional scaling method. Hence, the operator can feel the environmental force. In this research, proposed method is applied to Electro-Hydraulic Transmission System (EHTS). EHTS is a kind of actuating system which is consisted of two syringes, tube and liquid. In the case of EHTS, physical scaling is defined by the ratio of diameter of both syringes. The validity of the proposed method is confirmed by experimental results.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125516737","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}

However, when network is used for data transmission, time delay occurs and it degrades the stability of the systems and increases operational force. Furthermore, if the time delay is time-varying, operator feels uncomfortable scratchy sensation in addition to the operational force. Therefore, this paper proposes a method to compensate the effect of time-varying delay in 4-channel bilateral control systems. First, it is cleared that the scratchy feeling can be regarded as high frequency communicative operational force and that it can be calculated in real time quantitatively. Then, elimination method for the scratchy feeling is proposed from the view of operational force. Proposed method can compensate only the effect of delay variation without any delay time model. The validities of proposed methods are verified by some experiments.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-03-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121347344","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}
