The goal is to provide an effective solution to a problem of urban UAV search and rescue mission scenario, such as, fire detection and quenching situation in a high rise building. Such scenario may demand a GPS denied navigation and requires extensive use of on-board vision sensors and processors. In this paper, using on-board vision sensor based localization and visual servoing, we show a method to demonstrate a UAV autonomous navigation to enter a building through a narrow window. The entire mission scenario is divided into two phases, where the first phase comprises an effective visual servoing based approach trajectory generation and execution. In the terminal phase, the vision sensors may fail to locate the desired target features due to the constraints in view angle geometry. To compensate that a non-linear guidance law based trajectory following method is used which generates a monocular SLAM based phantom target locus and provides a consistent homing control. We have experimentally demonstrated and evaluated the method in a real world scenario with substantial success rate.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115180669","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}

Sliding mode control theory has been used to design such a guidance strategy, as it offers numerous benefits. In this paper, the role played by the interceptor’s lateral acceleration (latax) bounds in the design of a sliding mode controller to satisfy the terminal angle constraint is analysed. The paper also focusses on determining regions in the engagement space, as defined by the latax bounds and the controller parameters, to which, if the trajectory is confined, then interception is guaranteed. It is also shown that it is possible for the interceptor to become uncontrollable when intercepting stationary targets if the trajectory lies outside these regions. Simulation results are presented for the cases of intercepting stationary and constant-velocity targets.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115185982","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}

However, filter performance may degrade due to incorrect filter tuning of the biases and nonlinearities that arise due to the conversion. In this paper, the necessary converted measurement noise covariances have been derived in a 6 degree of freedom (6DOF) realistic target tracking scenario. In order to do so, the necessary frame conversions have also been accounted for to enable the estimation of the relative kinematics of the target. Thereafter, existing notions of robustness and sensitivity metrics have been suitably adapted to interpret the performance of CMKF in the 6DOF platform for various choices of tuning parameters and to predict the optimal tuning choice. The predicted performances and the optimal filter tuning choice have been validated in simulations in terms of the root mean squared errors (RMSE) for all measurements for 5000 Monte Carlo runs.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128445301","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}

Here a fixed topology is considered and it is assumed that all agents share relative information of their states with each other. The average consensus algorithm is augmented with Uncertainty and Disturbance Estimator (UDE) based disturbance estimation to achieve robustness. In doing so, state dependent nonlinearities of the system are considered as a part of the uncertainties to be estimated. The proposed robust consensus has two aspects, the agreement of the states of all agents and the estimation as well as cancellation of external disturbances acting on each agent. Here estimation of disturbances acting on the system is obtained using novel filter design of UDE. Closed loop stability of the overall system is established and numerical simulation results of proposed approach are presented to demonstrate its efficacy against different disturbances.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128615038","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}

Typically the sugar plant boilers have the load as: an electric power generation load; a cane preparation and milling load; and a process load. Generally, due to non-uniform cane feeding and milling process, large load oscillations can occur. This load swings can directly induce steam pressure oscillations which is produced from the boilers. In this plant two identical boilers with common feedwater tank and a common steam header for steam output are available. Before automation, these boilers are operated using a mechanical ‘single element based’ drum level control system. The plant turbo-generator have frequent trip due to pressure oscillations. With the aim of efficiency enhancement, the retrofit automation of boilers was implemented in a sugar plant. Hence, the pressure oscillations were reduced considerably. As an industrial automation application, this paper discusses the key features of the design and implementation of automatic control system for two low pressure boilers in sugar plant and the benefits achieved.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124203169","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 only available information are the scalar measurements of the signal field captured by the on-board sensor of the UAVs at each time-instant. Each of the two UAVs is assumed to be able to communicate the measured signal strength with the other one, and know the relative position of the other one. The ability of the proposed method in driving the UAVs towards the source, for varied initial conditions, and stationary and mobile sources, is demonstrated through simulation results.
