To justify the minimum composition of the team and the necessary equipment, it is necessary to solve the problem of forming a job schedule for a group of aircrafts, a distinctive feature of which is to take into account a number of restrictions, caused by the interaction of specialists and equipment, as well as the order and incompatibility in time of some jobs. This, in turn, requires consideration of a huge number of options for organizing the work performed on each aircraft, and scheduling options for servicing several aircrafts by one specialist. The problem of substantiating the minimum composition of specialists and equipment is based on the use of combinatorial optimization methods, i.e. the construction of possible solutions, the number of which is reduced by using the branch-and-cut method. The article proposes a mixed integer linear programming model with binary variables to find the optimal solution and a software implementation that does not require large computational resources. It is given and analyzed in detail an example of finding the optimal team of specialists who prepare a group of six aircrafts, each of which performs five types of work. The reasonable solution time to find the schedule for a given team made it possible to consider all possible options for the composition of the team (tens of thousands of options) and justify such an option in which the number of specialists in the team would be minimal, but they would ensure the preparation of the aircraft within a given time. When solving a problem, an exact schedule is found for each considered variant of the team composition. Further development of this approach is based on discrete time models; preliminary studies show the possibility of finding the optimal schedule for preparing a group of 30 aircraft for up to 5 seconds.","PeriodicalId":36477,"journal":{"name":"Mekhatronika, Avtomatizatsiya, Upravlenie","volume":"52 30","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141923645","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}

Uncertainty results from the action of various external disturbing factors, uncontrolled changes in the object properties, and equipment failures and malfunctions. A peculiar feature of the considered problems is that they are single events. In these information conditions, the synthesis of positional control of dynamic systems is considered based on the minimax approach worst-case design. Therefore, the mathematical model of processes is characterized by disturbances and measurement errors known with a precision up to sets, and the DS state vector is known with a precision up to membership in the information set as a result of solving the estimation problem. The proposed approach combines control concepts under information deficiency proposed by N. N. Krasovsky, A. B. Kurzhansky, and V. M. Kuntsevich with A. A. Krasovsky’s concepts of building selforganizing systems. The \"principle of a guaranteed result\" was chosen to synthesize DS control. A key distinction between the guaranteed and stochastic approach is the use of uncertainty sets of disturbances, interference, and the system state vector in DS control. The first part of the article solves the problem of estimating the state vector and, as a result, constructs an information set, to which the system state vector is guaranteed to belong. The second part of the article solves the control problem taking into account control restrictions, when the system operation quality is assessed by the belonging of the object’s state vector to a given set, which may depend on time. The tasks of stabilization, tracking, and terminal control can be set here. The control problem is also solved based on the guaranteed approach when specifying the requirements for the system in the form of a quadratic functional. The paper also considers the use of the Lyapunov function for control synthesis. The solution of estimation and control problems is reduced to extremal problems with linear and quadratic objective functions under restrictions in the form of systems of linear inequalities. The paper provides their examples.","PeriodicalId":36477,"journal":{"name":"Mekhatronika, Avtomatizatsiya, Upravlenie","volume":"29 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141923370","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}

This need is due to the fact that a priori it is not possible in practice to construct and assign to an autonomous robot a detailed formal description of a model of a problem environment. The robot is actually forced to function in a priori underdetermined problem environments. This, in turn, leads to the fact that under identical conditions, according to a given model of the problem environment, but taking into account its actual characteristics, various actions performed by the robot can lead to the required result to achieve a given goal. Consequently, in real operating conditions, an autonomous robot may encounter the emergence of \"contradictory\" information when, under identical conditions, according to a given PS model, a formed plan of goal-directed activity, which was previously effective, requires significant adjustments to achieve a given goal. Such an adjustment to the formed behavior plan is usually associated with the robot studying the patterns of purposeful transformation of situations in the actual problem environment and replenishing procedural knowledge. Thus, the use of contradictory data associated with the incompleteness of a priori specified knowledge provides an autonomous robot with the opportunity to expand information about the patterns of an a priori underdetermined problem environment and, on this basis, increase functionality. To solve this problem, the article proposes a structure of typical elements for representing \"contradictory\" knowledge, including various elementary acts of behavior, the development of which allows an autonomous robot to obtain a given result by performing various actions in similar operating conditions, taking into account their individual characteristics that are not reflected in the model describing the current problematic environment situations. Cognitive tools have been developed to provide an autonomous robot with the ability to organize an effective combination of procedures for planning goal-directed behavior based on a given model of knowledge representation and self-learning procedures in a priori underdetermined conditions of an unstable problem environment. In general, the considered cognitive tools for planning the expedient activity of an autonomous robot allow to expand its functionality and adapt on this basis to complex a priori underdetermined operating conditions.","PeriodicalId":36477,"journal":{"name":"Mekhatronika, Avtomatizatsiya, Upravlenie","volume":"41 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922771","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}

An analysis of modern approaches and methods for the synthesis of aircraft control systems was carried out. A brief overview of existing scientific works devoted to the control of AA in various modes of movement is presented. The necessity of developing an autopilot to control the longitudinal movement of an AA is substantiated. A review is made of the characteristics of the state of the water surface and their influence on the operation of an AA on water. An analysis of the influence of external disturbances on the planing stability of AA is presented, on the basis of which the use of the integral adaptation method on invariant manifolds is justified for the synthesis procedure of a vector nonlinear controller of the control system of an AA in planing mode under the influence of wind-wave disturbances. The approach uses the synergetic principle of \"expansion-compression\" of the phase space, on the basis of which an extended model of synergetic synthesis is first constructed, taking into account estimates of the action of disturbing influences, and then, when applying the synthesis procedure, a phased compression of the phase space is carried out by introducing invariant manifolds, at the intersection of which the fulfillment of a given technological task is guaranteed, and invariance to the action of wind-wave disturbances is also ensured. The results of the study are confirmed by computer modeling of a synthesized closed-loop control system for the aircraft; in particular, it is shown that the closed-loop system guarantees the maintenance of the required flight speed and altitude, as well as maintaining the trim angle in the required range of values.","PeriodicalId":36477,"journal":{"name":"Mekhatronika, Avtomatizatsiya, Upravlenie","volume":"39 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141924419","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, in these systems, when changing the dynamics of technological parameters, the sampling interval of analyzed signals does not change despite the need for such a procedure. Because of this in practice there are cases when the adequacy of the results of solved problems is not ensured. In rail transport, control and diagnostic systems are used for rolling stock, that diagnose malfunctions in wheel-motor units, bearing defects, lack and insufficiency of lubrication, misalignments of bearing mounting, defects of fastening, imbalance of rotating parts, defects of gearbox. Also diagnosed are looseness of the feed and brake lines, malfunctions of the brake valve, malfunctions of the brake cylinders, malfunctions of the compressor. The inspection results are first of all displayed on the driver’s monitor. In these systems, due to the delay in the monitoring result, sometimes the appropriate measures are delayed. For example, due to the specifics of rail transport, when analyzing the vibration signals received from the same sensors, the control results change when the train speed changes. This causes additional error, which can often lead to the violation of the adequacy of the control results. To eliminate this shortcoming, first of all, it is necessary to proportionally change the sampling interval of the analyzed signals when changing the speed of the rolling stock. In vibration diagnostics, the adequacy of the obtained results depends to a great extent on the accurate determination of the sampling interval. It is shown that the technology and principle of construction of analog-to-digital converters with adaptive determination of the sampling interval by taking into account the dynamics of the operation of controlled objects allows to avoid the control error caused by the error of sampling interval selection.","PeriodicalId":36477,"journal":{"name":"Mekhatronika, Avtomatizatsiya, Upravlenie","volume":"74 20","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141922340","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}

Modern methods of processing noisy satellite measurements mainly use various modifications of the least squares method, providing stability and the required positioning accuracy, as a rule, for stationary objects. At the same time, application of stochastic filtration theory methods that take into account both the dynamics of the object’s movement, and the presence of object disturbances and measurement noise are the most effective methods to assess the state of highly dynamic unmanned vehicles operating under conditions of uncertain disturbances. In this regard, the proposed approach to the positioning of unmanned vehicles is based on the application of nonlinear stochastic filtering methods, in particular, the robust nonlinear filtration method considered in the article that ensures the stability of the positioning process. At the same time, it is proposed to use digital path model to increase the accuracy of positioning an unmanned vehicle. This model is formed on the basis of high-precision geodetic measurements and providing the ability of approximation with the required accuracy of the program trajectory of the unmanned vehicle by a set of orthodromic trajectory intervals, which have an analytical relationship of the spatial coordinates of the object. This, in turn, ensures high positioning accuracy and a sharp reduction in computing costs. In general, the fusion of digital path model information and robust stochastic filtering algorithms for processing noisy satellite measurements has ensured both the stability of the process of estimating the current coordinates of an unmanned vehicle and a sharp reduction in computational costs compared with known methods of processing satellite measurement.

The existing methods and approaches can no longer satisfy the needs of developers of automatic control systems for complex dynamic objects. In many cases, control objects are essentially nonlinear, nonstationary and require the use of digital control with specified quality indicators. In this case, obtaining an accurate mathematical model is not always possible. We propose an approach to solving this problem using regulators based on artificial neural networks. They can be effectively applied in the case when there is no adequate verified and sufficiently accurate mathematical model of the control object, but experimental data can be obtained. The advantage of such regulators is their ability to learn and adapt to the object based on the obtained data. In addition, there are no theoretical stability guarantees for closed-loop neural network control systems, which significantly reduces the possibility of their application in critical or hazardous facilities. To solve this problem, the paper proposes a method for synthesizing a neural controller that guarantees the stability of a closed loop. Systems with the most frequently encountered in practice nonlinearities (saturation type limiters, rigid mechanical stop type limiters, etc.) are considered as control objects. This paper proposes theoretical approaches to the solution of these problems, and also carries out a comparative analysis with experimental studies to assess the effectiveness of the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":36477,"journal":{"name":"Mekhatronika, Avtomatizatsiya, Upravlenie","volume":" 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141824559","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}

It is theoretically proved that the constructed nonlinear SDRE controller ensures the transfer of an object from an arbitrary initial state to a small neighborhood of a given state in a predetermined finite time. The terminal error of regulation tends to zero when the penalty coefficient of the terminal term of the quality criterion is increased. A similar reduction in error is also achieved regardless of the value of the penalty factor by increasing the control time. The terminal properties of the regulator are demonstrated by the example of controlling the shutdown of an electric drive with a DC motor of sequential excitation, which is widely used in industrial robot drives.

To solve this problem, magnetic control systems based on the interaction of their executive devices with the Earth’s magnetic field are widely and effectively used. An important class of problems for controlling the angular spacecraft orientation is that of problems of monoaxial stabilization. This paper considers a satellite whose center of mass moves in a circular equatorial low Earth orbit. It is assumed that it is equipped with a controlled electrostatic charge distributed over a certain volume and a controlled magnetic moment. The rotational motion of a satellite with respect to its center of mass in the orbital frame is studied. The problem of monoaxial stabilization of a satellite in an arbitrary equilibrium position is solved. The electrodynamic control method is used which is based on the simultaneous application of a magnetic moment and the moment of Lorentz forces. Each of these moments is selected as a sum of damping, restoring and compensating components. To improve the characteristics of transient processes (damping unwanted oscillations and increasing the speed of convergence to program motion), PID controller of a special type is constructed. The stability analysis of the closed-loop system is carried out on the basis of the Lyapunov direct method. An original construction of the Lyapunov—Krasovskii functional is proposed, with the help of which the conditions on the control parameters are determined that guarantee the asymptotic stability of the program motion. The results of numerical simulation are presented confirming the obtained theoretical conclusions and demonstrating the advantage of the developed approach compared to the use of previously constructed controllers.
