Although several adaptive control schemes with fixed compensators for minimum-phase systems have been proposed, they can not be applied for robotic manipulators because their discrete-time models are not of minimum-phase. In this paper, first, we design a direct adaptive controller for robotic manipulators using an existing discrete-time model with unstable zeros. Then a fixed compensator is also designed for improving the robustness of the adaptive control system based on the fact that the stable zeros and poles of the open-loop transfer function improve the feedback properties. The fixed compensator is obtained by solving a convex optimization problem. The proposed method is applied to a two-link manipulator and its effectiveness is experimentally examined.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"486 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132790329","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}

Therefore this paper proposes a novel safety and efficient driving control scheme based on the regenerative braking system. This study applies the regenerative braking system with the step-up chopper circuit serially connecting two motors and realizes the velocity feedback control with the variable duty ratio so that it tracks the optimal velocity based on minimum jerk model. In addition, the dynamic braking system is also applied at the low speed range instead of the regenerative brake in order to suppress the acceleration. Some driving experiments on the practical downhill roads show the effectiveness of the proposed control system.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116434297","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 last years, due to the working conditions in agricultural environments, there have been an increasing demand in power capabilities, loads and driving speeds of heavy duty vehicles. In this way the industrial design and consequently the research activity present a big potential of improvement. This paper describes the development, modeling and testing of suspension systems and control algorithms for heavy vehicles. The main targets of this activity, currently under development, consist in the study of the dynamical behaviour of agricultural tractors and the design of a cost-effective industrial solution. The work is structured in different steps: the definition of the project requirements (also by consultations with manufacturers), the modeling of agricultural tractors by symbolic and numerical multibody codes, the investigation of commercial solutions in terms of comfort, ride and energetic requirements and finally the development of control algorithms for hydro-pneumatic semi- active suspension systems. The main results are validated through experimental activities done by a suspension bench test purposely designed. The experimental sessions consist in the identification of the frequency response of the suspension system and the computation of performance indexes.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124045357","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 proposed control, implemented in rotor coordinates, is based on a recursive algorithm in which the reference values of d and q current components are imposed. The digital control system directly synthesizes the output vector which allows the timing control of the inverter by means of on/off state of the switches. This results in avoiding the implementation of the traditional PI controllers and PWM technique. Under transient operation, both the reference d-q current components are set by imposing the maximum allowable torque variation, during the actual sampling interval, taking into account the inverter voltage saturation. In this way, the optimal (fastest) torque trajectory can be followed. The proposed algorithm guarantees optimal torque step response. The d-q current values, corresponding to steady state torque, do not guarantee any other additional condition. Hence, after reference torque is reached, the drive can be controlled by means of an additional predictive algorithm which assures minimum Joule losses. A computer simulation study, using Matlab Simulink tool, is conducted on the drive with the aim of highlighting the good performance of the proposed algorithms compared to traditional and to predictive (not optimal) ones.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"9 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123315052","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}
