To solve this problem, a flying touch method was proposed, which can control the gap between rollers for reducing scratches in hot rolling process. In a flying touch method, it is important that the gap between the rolling rolls can be control precisely and the velocity of rolling rolls can be synchronize to minimize the friction between steel plate and rolling rolls. Therefore, this paper addresses the velocity synchronize control for fly touch method. To reduce friction between steel plate and rolling rolls, this study estimates load torque of rolling rolls using torque estimation method based on SPO and control the velocity of rolling rolls according to estimated load torque. To confirm the performance of the estimated Force based velocity synchronize control, experimental evaluation is performed using down scaled simulator designed in previous study.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129233673","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}

It is well known that multipath fading causes bias errors to the target altitude over the sea. Since the bias error caused by multipath propagation depends on a large number of parameters such as the frequency of the radar waveform, the actual target altitude, and range, it is difficult to estimate the bias errors. In this paper, we propose an altitude estimation method using particle filter and multipath propagation model.

With a process model such as the one presented in this paper and estimates of the robot's joint stiffness values, the tool path can be adjusted to counteract deflections of the tool during milling operations.

Ideally they should be lightweight and low-cost. This paper presents a new hardware actuator technology concept to address the above needs. In the concept, a compact integrated motor-transmission-joint mechanism is optimized for size and torque density, while providing good joint support. This is achieved by novel arrangement of multi-function mechanical components and external-rotor motor technology and advantageous use of structural symmetry. Finite element results show the potential to deliver more than 200 Nm of continuous torque at 50 Deg/s in a package as small as a human elbow joint. With its small size and weight and its large torque output, the proposed actuator concept could benefit numerous applications, ranging from space manipulators to actuated prosthetics and medical devices.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"102 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125314084","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}

To achieve stable machining and high productivity, chatter should be suppressed before it is fully developed. Sinusoids stiffness variation is an efficient method of chatter suppression that continuously varies the stiffness of the tool post. The frequency and the amplitude of sinusoids naturally play a critical role in the performance of chatter suppression. However, previous researches on stiffness variation are mostly qualitative based on experimental tests. Thus, this paper quantitatively investigates the effects of the frequency and the amplitude on chatter suppression from theoretical point of view. Both joint and individual effects of the frequency and the amplitude on the control efficiency are explored using semi-discretization method. The improvement of the stability limit is verified by the time response using Simulink. Moreover, the influence of the initial phase is studied and suggests the sinusoidal stiffness variation is dependent on the initial phase when the frequency is larger than 0.25 Hz.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122850523","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}

Experimentation and simulation is performed to discover and analyse the relationship between chamber size and the generation of resistive forces or bending stiffness, and to observe the general behaviour of granular beam systems under bending forces. A prototype was developed and tested. It was found that increasing the chamber size of a jammed granular beam increases the generated resistive forces. There also appears to be two regions of bending for a jammed granular beam identified by a change in gradient on a graph of deflection versus weight. This indicates a change in the granular structure during bending and is theorised to be caused by two mechanisms, buckling and longitudinal strain. The prototype indicates that the exoskeleton is functional and is able to stabilise the hand, but fails to provide significant force. The work done in this project can be used as a foundation for further design and investigation.","PeriodicalId":199432,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131151860","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}
