In this study, we substituted the FOH for a conventional zero-order hold (ZOH) in the feedforward control system of the magnetic-head positioning control system in HDDs.

One of the challenges of developing this kind of system is the environment detection and understanding where the car is supposed to drive, and control the vehicle on a safe way, based upon on the perception of the environment, provided by on-boarded sensors (cameras, LIDAR). The existing navigation methods applied to solve this problem can be organized in two categories: those based on “geometrical or physical models” and those based upon on “machine learning models”. Machine Learning based models can have good performance when trained appropriately, however, due to its “black-box” characteristics (lack of physical meaning), it can return non accurate output or even wrong values in unseen situations, leading the vehicle to collision. In the other hand, Geometric or physical approaches are designed under certain approximately modeling assumptions, based on physical/geometrical parameters that are uncertain or can not be identified, and becomes a painstaking work as it gets more complex. This paper presents a hybrid autonomous navigation methodology, which takes advantage of the learning capability of Machine Learning (ML) models, and uses the safeness of the Dynamic Window Approach geometric method. Using a single camera and a 2D LIDAR sensor, the proposed method actuates as a high level controller, finding optimal vehicle velocities to be applied by a low level controller. The system algorithm is validated on CARLA Simulator environment, where a vehicle coupled by this system proved to be capable of achieving the following tasks: Lane keeping and obstacle avoidance.","PeriodicalId":373423,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131246070","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}

Among the other advantages, wearability, portability, limited costs, and accuracy are the main drivers of their increasing use. These devices are nowadays well-established commercially available products, ranging from few to hundreds of Euros. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the potentialities and the limits of IMUs belonging to different commercial segments in providing accurate orientation estimates within the operating conditions characterizing human motion. These are simulated employing a direct drive servomotor, to ensure accuracy and repeatability of the whole assessment pipeline. Both static and dynamic conditions are analyzed, the latter obtained by varying frequency and amplitude of a sinusoidal motion, thus evaluating the performances for a broad set of movements. IMUs orientations are estimated through proprietary filters, when available, and then compared with the well-established Madgwick's filter, to effectively investigate the performances of the on-board sensors. Results show that the low-cost IMUs are suited for applications requiring low bandwidth, while the comparison through Madg-wick's filter did not highlight appreciable differences among the IMUs.","PeriodicalId":373423,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"16 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121081202","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 displacement is measured using a high-precision differential plane-mirror laser interferometer. However, this measured signal must be filtered for control purposes and performance validation. For tracing picometers, we adopt a model-based 2-DOF control architecture with a feedforward stage for model-following and a feedback stage for stabilization and compensation of constant disturbances. A straightforward way to deal with noise is to use a feedback controller based on estimated (and filtered) states, which can be generated by a Kalman-Bucy filter. The effectiveness of the presented control strategy is verified via real-time experimentation, where the overall control scheme allows positioning in the picometer level. Moreover, comparative tests in the frequency domain were conducted using the so-called PI-LQR feedback controller based on estimated states.","PeriodicalId":373423,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116155837","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 this study, a testbed of the tracking mirror-driven system using the strain wave gearing is designed to conduct preliminary tests before the actual mission. For the model-based design and detailed verification in the design stage, an accurate numerical simulator is developed by considering the nonlinearities such as nonlinear friction and angular transmission error in the strain wave gearing.

A model based on the experiments is used to compensate for the nonlinearity by means of feedback linearization. It successfully decreases a total harmonic distortion of sinusoidal scanning trajectories from 25 % to 2.6 %, which is further improved to 1.45 % by linear position feedback control.
