Our solution consists of reducing the path planning problem to a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) problem. The challenge is in encoding the “implication” constraints in the path planning problem using only conjunctions that are permitted by the MILP formulation. Our experimental analysis using an implementation of the encoding in a Python toolbox demonstrates the feasibility of our approach in generating the optimal plans.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"52 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":"134118135","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 field of view limit of the on-board seeker is considered for designing the guidance law to avoid losing the target while following the missile trajectory, and which makes it feasible for practical applications. A three-stage Pure Proportional Navigation (PPN) guidance law is proposed for attaining impact angle control over the entire angular range, which is an extension of the two stage pure proportional navigation guidance law (2pPPN) existed in the literature. The proposed guidance law is simulated against a stationary target using a kinematic model of a missile to demonstrate the efficiency of the presented scheme.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"66 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":"127688679","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, the dynamics of flexible manipulators are not fully understood owing to their complex non-linear behaviour. In the current work, we propose a comprehensive 6 degrees-of-freedom finite element method based framework to model the dynamics of flexible manipulators. The predictions of the model, when applied for a simple cantilever beam, shows a good match with theoretical results. For further validation, a simple experimental setup was developed that emulates a flexible manipulator. The comparison results that experimental results closely match the predictions of the model, thus validating the modelling framework.","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":"131061911","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}

Simple control design techniques, which are applicable to a wide range of small and large scale processes, must be developed. With this motivation, a decoupling control design method well suited for large scale systems is proposed in this manuscript. The proposed design despite being simple, not only ensures effective performance but also accounts for the closed loop integrity and robustness requirements. The proposed method allows operation in dual modes viz. decoupling and decentralized, with the same controller settings. This facilitates seamless switching between the two modes. Simulations have been performed on various benchmark multivariable processes to verify the wide applicability, superior performance, and robustness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"543 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":"134160071","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}

We are given a set of targets from which data has to be collected using a capacity-constrained aerial vehicle i.e., the aerial vehicle can hold data collected from at most a pre-specified number of targets. The aerial vehicle has to periodically upload the collected data to the ground vehicle by performing a rendezvous with the ground vehicle. This rendezvous can serve other additional purposes like recharging etc. The ground vehicle is assumed to travel with a nominal speed and the aerial vehicle is assumed to have a nominal speed range. This paper aims to compute a feasible path for the aerial vehicle that visits all the targets, identify rendezvous points for the two vehicles, compute a path for the ground vehicle through the rendezvous points so that the total travel cost of both the vehicles is a minimum. A novel technique to enforce constraints that model a feasible rendezvous for both the vehicles using their respective speed ranges is proposed. A variable neighborhood search algorithm is developed to compute near optimal paths for both the vehicles that satisfy these constraints. Finally, computational experiments that corroborate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are also presented.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"13 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":"129822415","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 unknown round trip delay (algebraic sum of I/O delays) is estimated using a gradient descent algorithm. Single area power system model is considered to validate the effectiveness of the proposed architecture. The sliding surface is designed based on predictor states and estimated disturbance. The efficacy of the control scheme lies in finite time convergence of frequency under load disturbance with I/O time delays. Furthermore, frequency deviation in hybrid power system is also observed with an integration of wind and solar energies. Asymptotic stability is theoretically proved using Lyapunov functional candidate and verified using simulation.","PeriodicalId":231050,"journal":{"name":"2019 Sixth Indian Control Conference (ICC)","volume":"77 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":"115156724","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}
