A fuzzy logic software, FIDE (Fuzzy Inference Development Environment) is used to design and model the controller. Investigation is described that attempts to demonstrate the benefits of using that software for the design and implementation of the controller. A comparative study about the different methods of controller design with different parameters is performed. Finally a scheme is given which could achieve simultaneous control of the two links of the manipulator by using two independent controllers for the two joints.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134624644","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}

Since the nonlinear feedback law depends on the system's parameters, if the system parameters change, the linearized system will go beck to a nonlinear system. This paper shows how the adaptive control technique can be used to overcome system parameter variation. The steepest descent method is used to adjust the parameters in the nonlinear feedback loop. Once the system is linearized adaptively, the controller for cooperative position control can be designed using linear control techniques.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133838512","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 main difficulties for implementing a high-performance feedback control come from the presence of a large and variable time-delay (depending on the steel strip speed) and from the nonlinear character of the plant model. The regulation scheme is implemented on a PC connected to the process through an industrial network. It uses a digital controller designed on the basis of an identified discrete-time black box model. The scheme is open-loop adaptive in the sense that the sampling frequency is related to the steel strip speed, and that the parameters of the controllers for various regions of operation are stored on a table. The results obtained on the site conclude the paper. An improvement of the product quality and a reduction of the zinc consumption have been achieved.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"30 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133720920","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}

Next the robot dynamic integral model, taking into account friction parameters (viscous and Coulomb), as well as the load dynamic model have been formulated.

The performance measure is defined as a weighted sum of the corresponding nominal H/sub 2/-norms while robust stability of the individual closed-loop systems is defined in terms of a H/sub /spl infin//-bound for each plant condition. In this paper we define a new time-domain scalar cost function J/sub /spl infin//(t/sub f/) representing the H/sub /spl infin//-bounds in an overall cost function for the mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin//-design. J/sub /spl infin//(t/sub f/) is, for finite time t/sub f/, a penalty function and, for t/sub f//spl rarr//spl infin/, a barrier function. Using J/sub /spl infin//(t/sub f/), the mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin//-design problem results in an unconstrained optimization problem, that, for t/sub f//spl rarr//spl infin/, recovers the original objective of minimizing the performance measure subject to the H/sub /spl infin//-bounds. The resulting optimization problem is smooth and hence standard gradient-based software can be applied. The class of controllers considered includes proper and strictly proper LTI controllers with fixed structure and/or fixed order.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130696400","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}

Based on transformations, it autonomously develops operational capabilities in adaptive response to information training. The idea of training a mobile robot to carry out a function (instead of programming it) seems to have a great appeal, perhaps because of our familiarity with training in some robotic applications (e.g. teaching trajectory generation) as an easy and natural way to acquire new skill processing capabilities. Even though neural networks mobile robotic applications are still fully undeveloped, this paper tries to show that their promise and potential is evident. We show this by describing which neural networks have been used (or are suitable to be used) for various mobile robot capabilities, and what sort of problems are expected to surface out; if any. We then propose a system of interacting neural networks to be used as a model for future neuro mobile robots. Finally, experiments on Neurobot, a six legged articulated robot testbed, for testing various networks as well as for providing a perspective on the usefulness of integrating various mobile robot capabilities are presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133007269","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}

Within the context of a robotic system, the teleoperation problem can be viewed as a strictly force control system in which the end-effector must maintain a specified force pattern on the environment. Using this analogy, the environment may be modelled as being subjected to disturbances or an active compliance. Such technical issues as stability, performance, controllability, and other developments in the control systems literature now easily extend to the area of teleoperation involving humans. To illustrate this procedure, an analysis is conducted of a system from an ongoing experiment. This experiment involves handicapped people and normals participating in a study to analyze the effect on performance of different types of force feedback algorithms and target tracking tasks.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":276779,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Control and Applications","volume":"40 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114115986","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}
