Three typical benchmark functions are used to validate the proposed algorithm performance and runtime and then compare with that of the other algorithms known as modified PSOs. Six functions reported in SIS2005 are used to better verification of the proposed algorithm. Numerical results indicate that IPO is competitive due to its more competitive convergence rate and ability to find the functions' global optimum.","PeriodicalId":294950,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Control Applications, (CCA) & Intelligent Control, (ISIC)","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134238500","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 variator enables a stepless variation of the transmission ratio within a finite range. A conventional control design for the variator is typically obtained by the use of a variator model, which incorporates large uncertainties and, therefore, limits the variator efficiency. In this paper, a control design for the variator is discussed, which improves the variator efficiency and limits the number of sensors. The relation between inputs and outputs of the variator is investigated, from which one input-output map is identified, which exhibits a maximum. This maximum indicates performance in terms of the variator efficiency. For this reason, this input-output map is maximized by means of extremum seeking control (ESC), which omits the use of a variator model. Experiments illustrate that the approach is feasible and show that a conventional control design for the variator is outperformed.","PeriodicalId":294950,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Control Applications, (CCA) & Intelligent Control, (ISIC)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134238708","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}

Most existing approaches to the control of such systems demand a high computational effort or are based on an approximation of the model. In this contribution, by attaching the sensors to the moving goods, two new flatness-based tracking control strategies are developed, which are numerically efficient and thus applicable online. Using the method of characteristics the partial differential equation (PDE) is transformed into an ordinary differential equation for every measuring point on the transported good. As control strategies the two degrees of freedom structure and a nonlinear tracking controller are considered and designed for a continuous furnace.","PeriodicalId":294950,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Control Applications, (CCA) & Intelligent Control, (ISIC)","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133103905","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}

Main characteristics of STARS are: (i) it is mother-daughter satellite; (ii) it becomes a tethered system on orbit; (iii) the daughter satellite is a tethered space robot. STARS consists of two satellites connected by a tether. One is a mother satellite (a mother spacecraft), which deploys and retrieves a tether connected to the other satellite. The other is a daughter satellite (a tethered space robot). The mother satellite has a tether deployment system. During tether deployment, the attitude of the daughter satellite is controlled by its own arm link motion, and a camera mounted on the daughter satellite takes a photograph of the mother satellite. It is important to design launch lock for STARS, since it has many actuation parts and it is two satellites system.","PeriodicalId":294950,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Control Applications, (CCA) & Intelligent Control, (ISIC)","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124412250","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}

In previous work, an advanced coordinated controller was synthesized to achieve stability with satisfying performances. This controller was implemented on-site leading to satisfactory results. However, mainly because of modeling uncertainties, the obtained performances could be non-optimal, with the risk of non-satisfaction of contract specification. In order to improve the plant behavior on-site, a new controller is added to the previous one. It consists in applying an additional control input computed from the error between the system output and a desired output trajectory. This Additional Inverse Model Controller (AIMC) is based on an inverse model of the plant and low-pass filters with small DC gain. The efficiency of the proposed control strategy is illustrated through realistic simulations and compared to the initial controller performance.","PeriodicalId":294950,"journal":{"name":"2009 IEEE Control Applications, (CCA) & Intelligent Control, (ISIC)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128637320","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}
