For this purpose a novel concept of in-vehicle pedal robots is considered, which is based on a PM-DC drive with rope winch and an optical distance sensor. In the control design task the distance between a brake, clutch or accelerator pedal and the ground of the driver's cab should follow a given reference value. Nonlinear simulation results show the efficiency and the robustness properties of the proposed second-order sliding modes control design approach.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"1997 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128209651","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}

As these agents move, connectivity of their communication network may be disrupted, preventing data transmission. Higher-Order Sliding Mode (HOSM) observers are used to reconstruct the external commands, from which future positions of the agents, as well as possible sites of connectivity disruption, are predicted on a certain time window. Controlled agents are introduced that are driven along trajectories to these sites by means of HOSM controllers, which cancel out effects of unknown bounded external disturbances; collisions with other agents along these trajectories are avoided. An intact communication network is thus constantly reconfigured by the movement of controlled agents. A case study demonstrates the proposed algorithm.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125547774","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 paper it is presented an observer design for a class or parabolic PDE's using sliding modes theory and bacstepping-like procedure in order to achieve exponential convergence. A Volterra-like integral transformation is used to change the coordinates of the error dynamics into exponentially stable target systems using the backstepping-like procedure. This gives as a result the output injection functions of the observer which are obtained by solving a hyperbolic PDE system. Sliding modes are used to find an explicit solution to the hyperbolic PDE system and to make the observer gains to be discontinuous which have well known advantages. Theoretical results were proved using the Lyapunov theory. A numerical example demonstrates the proposed method effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129377363","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 adaptive integral backstepping method based on the implicit Lyapunov function is utilized to design the position controller of a PMSM system, which can compensate the parameter uncertainties and the load disturbance of the system. The current controller of the PMSM system is designed using both techniques, i.e. nonsingular terminal sliding-mode (NTSM) and high-order sliding-mode (HOSM). The NTSM is used to improve the robustness and response speed of the system. Meanwhile, the HOSM is adopted to eliminate the chattering phenomenon and soften the control signal.

A distinctive feature of the obtained result is that a part of the optimally controlled state trajectory occurs to be in a sliding mode, i.e., represents an enforced motion along a certain manifold. The optimal solution is obtained as a sliding mode control, whereas the conventional linear feedback control fails to provide a causal solution. Performance of the obtained optimal controller is verified in the illustrative example against the conventional polynomial-quadratic regulator that is optimal for the quadratic Bolza-Meyer criterion. The simulation results confirm an advantage in favor of the designed sliding mode control.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124872265","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 order of the sliding motion in the sliding mode is not reduced as in conventional sliding mode schemes. Also the robustness of the closed loop system can be guaranteed throughout the entire response, starting from the initial time instant, because there is no reaching phase. Actuator effectiveness levels are used to redistribute the control signals to healthy actuators online in the case of faults or failures without reconfiguring the controller. In this way the scheme can cope with total failure of certain actuators. Simulation results using the Admire aircraft model show good performance in fault and even certain total actuator failure scenarios which validates the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed scheme.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127122123","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 estimation scheme utilizes second order sliding mode observer based on super twisting algorithm. Mean Value Engine Model is considered to model the inlet manifold behavior. The estimation is carried out on production vehicle equipped with engine control unit compliant to OBD-II standards. The proposed observer is simple enough for implementation.

This behavior is an example of a limit cycle, and is likely caused by the nonlinearity in the system dynamics introduced by the unilateral (i.e. one-sided) constraint. Yet most published stability analyses of force-controlled robots assume that the constraint is bilateral, meaning the mechanical system never loses contact with the constraint. In this note, we analyze the stability of a 1-DOF force-controlled mechanical system in contact with a rigid unilateral constraint applying a sliding mode control algorithm, with the force sensor modeled as a stiff spring. It is proved that the nonlinear system is globally asymptotically stable and achieves zero steady-state force error.","PeriodicalId":407705,"journal":{"name":"2010 11th International Workshop on Variable Structure Systems (VSS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122909074","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}
