Optimal path tracking for vehicles, which reduces fuel consumption, as well as the distance traversed by the vehicle, has mostly caught attention. Besides, Unmanned Arial Vehicles are in the spotlight because of their great performance in doing a vast majority of jobs, especially those which are perilous for human. One of the most prevailing issues in this field is optimal path tracking. Although different algorithms are presented and despite their acceptable performance, none of them has focused on reducing energy and distance. In this paper a new optimization algorithm is utilized for the latter optimizations. This algorithm is called the Championship Algorithm by its Iranian developer. Combining it with the path tracking problem of the unmanned aerial vehicles, it is shown that its performance is much better than one of the most important existing algorithms (GA). Optimal trajectory tracking problem is also solved to reduce fuel and energy consumption.","PeriodicalId":383818,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th RSI International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (IcRoM)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131974321","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}

We create a non-native speech database for desired commands. This data base includes Ready, Forward, Backward, Left, Right, Stop, Circle, Faster, Slower, and Go commands. Each command has been uttered by 20 Persian speakers (10 males and 10 females). The voice commands are detected using the HMM-based system. Then, the detected command is sent to the robot through the Bluetooth module.

It proposes fuzzy wavelet network (FWN) as an adaptive nonlinear-in-parameter (NIP) approximator to represent the model of the uncertain dynamics. Then, it uses dynamic surface control (DSC) approach to design controller. The dilation and the translation of the wavelet functions and the weights of the network are learned online based on the adaptive laws. Stability analysis guarantees that all of the closed-loop signals are semi-globally uniformly ultimately bounded. Also, proper selection of the design parameters results in small tracking error in the vicinity of the origin. Compared with the conventional backstepping-based approaches, in this work, both of the \"explosion of complexity\" and \"explosion of learning parameters\" are eliminated, simultaneously. Furthermore, the availability and boundedness of all derivatives of the desired trajectory are not required for controller design. Simulation results verify the ability of the proposed controller to suppress chaos in the PMSM drive systems.","PeriodicalId":383818,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th RSI International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (IcRoM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128473792","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}

Implementation of this scenario needs a precise workflow that considers all the issues related to the registration of the imaging system, robot and the patient. We utilize a registration approach without the use of optical tracking devices and propose a workflow to improve the needle placement efficiency.

In this paper, a nonlinear control method is designed by using combination of PID controller, backstepping and sliding mode controls to stabilize the quadrotor attitude and to carry out the trajectory tracking task. The presented controllers are divided into attitude controller and position controller, and Lyapunov stability theorem is used to show the validity of their stability. Traditional sliding mode controller produces the chattering phenomenon and discontinuousness of control inputs. These faults can be avoided by using combined controllers. The effectiveness of the control approach presented in this paper is shown by the different simulations.

In this paper, in order to station keeping of stratospheric airship, the integral backstepping technique based on sliding mode method in the presence of the disturbance has been developed. Firstly, the dynamic model of an airship is presented and descriptive equations are in an adequate state-space introduced for purpose of designing a controller based on backstepping strategy. Then the backstepping controller is designed. In this control strategy, the control performance due to the external disturbance is not satisfactory. Therefore, for enhancing the operation of the platform, combination sliding mode and backstepping approach is used. In this regard, by the definition of the sliding surfaces in the equations that are included the disturbance, the robustness of the system against the external disturbance has been improved.

As a result the possible path through which he vehicle can move to transfer between two boundaries is not unique and this fact provides the possibility of optimization of a desired cost function. In this paper after extracting the model of these vehicles based on Jacobian matrix a compromise between the accuracy and controlling effort is selected as the mentioned objective function and the optimal control and its related optimal path is extracted through which the best accuracy and the least input is required.
