In addition, the JCMP scheme is formulated as a standard quadratic program (QP) subject to equality and bound constraints. For the purpose of experimentation, a numerical algorithm based on piecewise-linear equations (PLE) is developed for solving the resultant QP problem. Furthermore, the proposed schemes are implemented on the planar six degrees-of-freedom (six-DOF) motor-driven push-rod robot manipulator controlled by a joystick. Computer-simulation and experiment results validate the realization and effectiveness of such schemes and the numerical algorithm.","PeriodicalId":351518,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127372497","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 algorithm has built a method of sensor subsystem fault detection. The subsystem failure is detected and the incomplete measurement is confirmed to avoid contaminating the entire system due to the single failure. The algorithm has built the subsystem switch control and it also introduced mapping matrices. Meanwhile, the algorithm defined new information sharing coefficients. The algorithm can adaptively select subsystems for the center integration. When the incomplete measurement of the subsystem is found, the predicted value of the subfilter will displace the state estimation for the center fusion. The current state estimation and a priori value of the subfilter are used by the global fusion, and this will improve the center estimate performance. The simulation result indicates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":351518,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL)","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127283551","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 dynamic model is established with the Lagrange equation and the anti-swing controller of davit system is designed based on the system's energy. Compared with other anti-swing controllers of the marine davit, it adopts active pendulation control and doesn't need approximately decoupling and linearization. And it still can restrain pendulation of load effectively, even though the mass of load and the length of cable are uncertain. The stability of closed-loop system is proved by Lyapunov stability theory and LaSalle invariance principle. Simulation results demonstrate that the active pendulation control system is effective.","PeriodicalId":351518,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121534499","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}

One of the characteristics of the DCMS is the reconfiguration, which is the number of machines in each manufacturing cell is allowed to change over a particular planning horizon. Consequently, the DCMS is more flexible, but complicated in determining an optimal solution, especially with the uncertain demand that confuses the accuracy of the optimization in traditional way. Therefore optimal planning time horizon is introduced as a distinguishing decision variable to handle the penalty from the uncertainty of the demand. The developed model is mixed integer non-linear equations. Numerical example is presented to show the performance of the method, where traditional DCMSs PP is employed for comparison. Improvement rate map has been drawn to illustrate the benefit zone for new method.","PeriodicalId":351518,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Conference on Automation and Logistics (ICAL)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114817566","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}
