In this regard, in previous researches, it had demonstrated that the elastic module of robot's bulk is a fundamental function of vacuum pressure and must be acquired by experimental tests. However, there was not a unique formulation for both computing and predicting the accurate elastic module in each unique amount of vacuum pressure. Therefore, in this paper, for addressing the problem, the elastic module of jammable segments is calculated in each considered vacuum pressure and we have introduced a both simple and beneficial formulation to predict the amounts of stiffness based on variations of vacuum pressure. The proposed procedure was examined by performing an experimental test as well. On the other hand, the necessity of identifying organic material was felt due to introduction of just one organic granular material in previous researches for applying. Hence, four new organic granular materials were selected and also tested. Consequently, a usable blend of two of them was presented which was mixed of black Pepper seeds and Datura grains. This blend had a lightweight construction with high ratio of strength under external forces, therefore, it can be applied when a both high-strength and lightweight jammable structure in robotics is required.","PeriodicalId":189753,"journal":{"name":"2017 22nd International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122398736","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 contact phenomenon is governed by the second order elliptic variational inequality. The aim of the topology optimization problem is to find such material density distribution function in a domain occupied by the body to minimize its normal contact stress. The original optimization problem is regularized in terms of the phase field model using Ginzburg-Landau free energy functional rather than the domain perimeter functional. In this model the width of the interfaces between the domain material phases is dependent on a small parameter. Therefore the goal of this paper is to investigate the relation between the phase field and the perimeter functionals regularized optimization problems as the width interface parameter tends to zero. Using the shape sensitivity approach the first order necessary optimality conditions for these two optimization problems are formulated. As the interface width parameter tends to zero the convergence of the first order necessary optimality conditions for the phase field regularized optimization problem to the first order necessary optimality conditions for the perimeter regularized optimization problem obtained in the framework of shape calculus is shown. Details of numerical implementation as well as numerical examples are provided and discussed.","PeriodicalId":189753,"journal":{"name":"2017 22nd International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127927765","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 the paper we consider the influence of the model reduction on the dynamics of the real closed-loop system. A SFSF smart plate as a TITO system is an object of consideration since we are able to formulate the exact analytical model of such structure. As a result of reduction the model with low frequency resonances is usually separated from the high frequency dynamics because high frequency part of the model is naturally strong damped. In order to estimate dynamical system for control purposes in the paper we applied a few orthogonal methods such as: modal and Schur decompositions. As it is shown all methods well calculate resonances frequencies but generate different anti-resonances frequencies. From control strategy in point of view of the flexible structures these anti-resonances have significantly influence on the stability and dynamics of the closed-loop systems.","PeriodicalId":189753,"journal":{"name":"2017 22nd International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130360192","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}

For robust control system design optimization, computational methods enabling fast semi-symbolic simulations are necessary. We propose an operational computation method based on orthogonal signals that is faster than step integration methods and allows the direct evaluation of system robustness to parameter variations. In order to improve the simulation performance during design optimization, we derive a novel operational method to compute the multiplication of signal expansions. Thus, common nonlinear cost functions can be directly computed, using only signal coefficients. The evaluation of signals during the optimization is avoided by this method, which is a significant advantage compared to other known approaches for dynamic system simulation. We validate the capability of our design methodology for the improvement of system performance and robustness by optimizing a DC motor control. The obtained results show that affine arithmetic computations are well suited for robust control system design optimization in the time domain.","PeriodicalId":189753,"journal":{"name":"2017 22nd International Conference on Methods and Models in Automation and Robotics (MMAR)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129598455","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 model of the former is acquired based on a well-established dynamic equations of motion while the latter is to be identified as a static relationship from laboratory experiments data. Moreover, the actuator model is to account for the on-flight battery power source voltage drop effects. The actuator parameter identification algorithm is kept in a set-membership framework.
