In anti-swing feedback control of automatic gantry crane system, sensors are normally employed to detect trolley position and payload swing angle. However, sensing the payload motion of a real gantry crane, in particular, is troublesome and often costly since there is hoisting mechanism on parallel flexible cable. Therefore, sensorless anti-swing control method for automatic gantry crane system is proposed in this study. The anti-swing control is performed in feedback control scheme without using real swing angle sensor. Instead soft sensor approach is used to substitute the real swing angle sensor. The soft sensor is designed based on artificial neural network (ANN). Specifically, multilayer feedforward network trained by using back propagation learning algorithm is adopted as soft sensor. An experimental study using lab-scale automatic gantry crane is carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed sensorless anti-swing control. The results show that the proposed sensorless method is effective for payload swing suppression since it gives similar performance to the sensor-based feedback anti-swing control.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122214276","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 sensor suites used are interconnected serially to warrant more robust sensing strategies while leveraging spatially correlated data. They are also fed in parallel into a data fusion center using wireless technologies to ensure enhanced system reliability. While the proposed architecture can readily be tailored for specific applications in the nuclear industry such as for plant monitoring and automated decision and control, it is also designed to track and guide personnel away from radiation-contaminated zones.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127365908","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}

They are able to assist people in common places such as offices and houses. This paper presents a scenario of a housekeeping robot. The robot is assumed to receive instructions from a human user and perform tasks in a kitchen. A human user is expected to communicate with a robot by using a natural language. Thus, such kind of robots requires a natural and intelligent human-machine interface. This can be facilitated through a natural language interface. The major challenging issue in developing a natural language interface for the robot is ambiguity and uncertainty in user instructions. This paper presents a technique to resolve the problem. The technique is created by applying possibility theory, fuzzy sets, and knowledge about a user and robot to the user instructions.","PeriodicalId":350202,"journal":{"name":"2008 5th International Symposium on Mechatronics and Its Applications","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124559590","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 measurable parameters of the system are measured and others are estimated using physical knowledge of the system. In order to improve the accuracy of the model the estimated parameters are returned using a GA optimization approach. Note that the estimated parameters of the system are utilized as the initial populations of the GA. The performances of the white and grey box models are compared with respect to each other to validate the improvement of the grey box approach.
