MSC has been widely used in robots and hard disk drives. Considering thrust limitations, however, the switching condition is generally conservative since there are not any clear criteria to switch the control modes. Therefore, this paper proposes a new index of switching condition which uses initial state variables in Final-State Control (FSC) with thrust limitations. The novelty of the index is that feedforward inputs which take an initial state to a final state in finite time can be generated automatically, while taking into account thrust limitations. The effectiveness of the proposed index is shown by simulations.","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":"133709904","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 contrast to traditional feedback linearization methods, the design objective of our approach is to design a controller such that the passivity property of the robot is preserved in the closed-loop system. The resulting control system could be very attractive from a practical point of view, since the inertia matrix and coriolis matrix of the robot dynamic model are not required. The robot geometrical information is the only required model information, which can be easily obtained in practical applications. Moreover, only position measurements are used. In addition, the closed-loop stability property is analyzed. Comparisons with traditional PID control have been conducted through simulations to show the effectiveness of the proposed control approach.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"140 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":"127478533","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 research focuses on the human locomotion like walking and running. The objective of this research is to propose a quantitative evaluation method and a model of human locomotion and analyze these motions. IMU sensors which can measure triaxial (3-D) accelerations and triaxial angular velocities are used to measure the human motion. A simulation is conducted to confirm the validity of the human model.

In order to cope, manufacturers have tried to increase capacity by narrowing the track pitch of digital storage media. In addition, recent advancements in technology have resulted in a new optical disc that has a rotation speed of over 15,000 rpm. Considering all these factors, a high-precision pick-up control system is needed for optical discs. In this study, a feedforward control system using an error prediction mechanism to effectively suppress periodic components is implemented. However, the feedforward control system of a conventional pick-up control system does not consider the dead time delay component. This paper proposes a zero phase error tracking feedforward control system that does consider it. The propose control system is designed and implemented for a test system, the ODU-1000 for Blu-ray Disc, implanted in a digital signal processor (DSP). The results of experiments confirm that the propose system is practical and effective.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"14 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":"115364143","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}

Its main purpose is to develop suitable robotics devices and control strategies to assist patient's movements during trainings. To do that, advanced control algorithms and implementation of suitable force feedback for these robotic devices have been developed for rehabilitation purposes. In particular, some of these systems are designed to assist patients in completing the desired movements, providing the minimum force necessary. Thus, a direct human-robot interaction is unavoidable. For this reason, in such cases, control stability issues and safety of the system become crucial. A non-linear adaptive impedance controller, based on position errors, which aims to achieve a desired “assist-as-needed” behaviour during the rehabilitation process, has been developed in a previous work and described in [1]. However, a no straightforward stability proof of the overall system can be obtain, due to non-linear and time-varying nature of such controller. This paper is focused on the formal stability analysis of such adaptive assistance controller. Such analysis has been carried out based on an energetic approach, taking advantages of the Lyapunov theory.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"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":"130718031","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 discusses an application of the direct recursive identification method to the input-output voltage-to-displacement measurements of piezoelectric hysteresis in a standard piezo-actuated stage. We excite the piezoelectric actuator in an open-loop manner through an appropriate notch-filter, designed beforehand, so as to suppress two dominant harmonics of mechanical domain and obtain the hysteresis response without dynamical by-effects. The applied input sequence is a simple (memoryless) Bernoulli process which is easy to generate in practice. This input does not impose any special requirements on the experimental design and control/accuracy of the input signal. The experimental evaluation is provided along with a discussion of an envisaged application.","PeriodicalId":179621,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"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":"131012573","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}
