A linear six-state constant velocity (CV) dynamics model is used, consisting of missile position and velocity in a Cartesian coordinate system. Frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar sensors, carefully located to provide spherical coverage around the target, provide updates of missile kinematic information relative to a drone aircraft. Data from the radar sensors are linearized about a nominal measurement and fused with missile model predictions using an extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm. The performance of the system is evaluated through high-fidelity, six-degree of freedom (6DOF) simulations yielding sub-meter end-game accuracy in a variety of scenarios.","PeriodicalId":208713,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131149004","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}

Side slip angle and slip ratio is measured by caster type odometers which are comprised of directional sensors and travel distance sensors. The odometer system has redundant four encoders to measure three dimensional velocities: planar two dimensional and rotational movements. We reduce the error between target velocity and actual velocity by feedback control based on both tire slip angle and slip ratio. This method can improve stability and accuracy of movement of vehicles. The experimental vehicle is an omnidirectional vehicle which has legs comprised of three joints.

However, this method possesses several negative attributes: a very high input voltage, a very small discrete capacitor and sensitivity to parasitic capacitance. Synthetic voltage division (SVD) emulates the series capacitor method utilizing a linear feedback controller and overcomes the negative attributes of the series capacitor method.

In this paper, the relatively new smooth variable structure filter (SVSF) is used for the training of a nonlinear multilayered feed forward network. The SVSF is a recursive sliding mode parameter and state estimator that has a predictor-corrector form. Using a switching gain, a corrective term is calculated to force the network weights to converge to within a neighbourhood of the optimal weight values. SVSF-based trained neural networks are used to classify engine faults on the basis of vibration data. Two faults are induced in a four-stroke, eight-cylinder engine. Furthermore, a comparative study between the popular back propagation method, the extended Kalman filter (EKF), and the SVSF is presented. Experimental results indicate that the SVSF is comparable with the EKF, and both methods outperform back propagation.","PeriodicalId":208713,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122954617","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}

Then, by the prediction errors from the neural networks, which time series is dominant to decide operation command can be estimated. In this paper, target tracking tasks in 2D CG environment are experimented. A main goal of the task is to operate the mobile target by joystick operation to keep approaching a reference target behaving randomly.

As a result, the suitable PID gains can be obtained, which the system output approaches to the reference model output.

The observer is then designed as an Extended Kalman filter on the basis of a discretized model both in time and in space. The space discretization is nonuniform depending on the unknown leak location, and the time variable is discretized with the Heun's method. The approach assumes only flow and pressure sensors at the ends of the duct, and experimental results with data obtained from the pipeline prototype are presented to assess the method efficiency.","PeriodicalId":208713,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications (CCA)","volume":"214 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124043048","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 chaser vehicle states are also estimated using onboard sensors, namely GPS + IMU. These estimated states (chaser and the target) are utilized in a nonlinear guidance law which provides signals for the velocity, flight path, and course/heading angle to the chaser so as to track the target vehicle. It is to be mentioned that the guidance controller onboard the chaser was designed based on a backstepping like technique. All process and measurement noise are modelled as zero-mean Gaussian processes with known covariances.
