It goes without saying that solar energy has been demonstrated to be a key source of green energy. Solar energy is used because it is abundant, pollution-free, and easily available. However, the power utility market requires highly exact solar energy forecasts. These challenges need the creation of a device that can precisely predict solar energy output via processing the location's weather data, which is accomplished through the use of machine learning and multiple linear regression (MLR). Some elements, such as the number of cloudy days, humidity, temperature, wind condition, and precipitation, should be addressed while simulating solar power output. In this paper, a 12-kW photovoltaic (PV) system on the rooftop of a house in Isfahan was studied using the System Advisor Model (SAM). The most significant research contribution of the proposed paper is to predict the output power of a solar system with the lowest possible error. According to the simulation results, by using the MLR model, the predicted power has an error of 6 % with the actual power, which is a very good estimation. In addition, this system meets each household's energy needs plus an additional 8430 kWh per year, resulting in being paid by utility companies, a fewer number of outages, and lower air pollution levels.","PeriodicalId":409364,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robotics and Control Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130614116","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 proposed modeling is suitable to be implemented in automatic parallel, oblique, or perpendicular parking systems considering speed cases between 5 km/h and 30 km/h. For the computational simulations, it was considered that the vehicle starts at rest and goes up a referenced or determined slope in degrees (°), with a sufficient rear reaction force to allow the vehicle to move until the engine produces sufficient torque. For the model of the tire variant, the magic formula (characterized by the sum of five vectors about an axis) was used. Three input signals were considered, slope, wind, and accelerator variation were considered in numerical simulations. The output signals are rear and normal front forces, vehicle speed, angular velocity, and engine acceleration. The longitudinal modeling proposed allows for easily reproducing the results and assigning new parameters to validate a Project, contributing positively both to the automotive industries and in innovation-based scientific research.","PeriodicalId":409364,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robotics and Control Systems","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133165659","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 vehicle is a complex system, non-linear, strongly coupled, and under-actuated. First, a non-linear model was developed to represent the dynamics of the studied drone. Once the latter is established, the linear model was used to obtain the best gains of the Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller. This controller was applied after on the non-linear model of the UAV. Moreover, a Sliding Mode Controller (SMC) based on Sliding Mode Observer (SMO) was designed for retrieving the system unknown variables. Through these latter, the QBall 2+ was controlled, taking into account the observer errors. The first contribution in this work is to implement the PID regulator on the QBall 2+ flight controller to validate the results obtained by simulation. Secondly, due to the limitations of the Flex 3 cameras, especially when the drone is outside their working environment, the sliding mode observer was implemented to replace the cameras in order to measure the states of the system considered in this work. Simulation results of the different applied controllers were displayed to evaluate their effectiveness.","PeriodicalId":409364,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robotics and Control Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129013047","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 paper presents the various ways in which human motion intention in rehabilitation can be estimated. This paper also elaborates on the control laws for the estimation of motion intention of the power assist rehabilitation robot. From the review, it has been found that the motion intention estimation method includes: Artificial Intelligence-based motion intention and Model-based motion intention estimation. The controllers include hybrid force/position control, EMG control, and adaptive control. Furthermore, Artificial Intelligence based motion intention estimation can be subdivided into Electromyography (EMG), Surface Electromyography (SEMG), Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), and Electromyography-based Admittance Control (EAC). Also, Model-based motion intention estimation can be subdivided into Impedance and Admittance control interaction. Having reviewed several papers, EAC and ELM are proposed for efficient motion intention estimation under artificial-based motion intention. In future works, Impedance and Admittance control methods are suggested under model-based motion intention for efficient estimation of motion intention of power assist rehabilitation robot. In addition, hybrid force/position control and adaptive control are suggested for the selection of control laws. The findings of this review paper can be used for developing an efficient power assist rehabilitation robot with motion intention to aid people with lower or upper limb impairment.","PeriodicalId":409364,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robotics and Control Systems","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127752826","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 time derivative of the control input of the DySMC is considered a new control variable for an augmented system which is composed of the original system and the integrator. This DySMC can transfer discontinuous terms to the first-order derivative of the control input and effectively reduce the chattering. The interactions between input/output variables are a common phenomenon and a challenging task in the design of multi-loop controllers for interacting multivariable processes. For reducing the interaction among variables, ideal decouplers are used. Independent diagonal controllers are designed for each decoupled subsystem, which is reduced to the first-order plus dead-time (FOPDT) model. A numerical simulation test has been carried out on a reactor system of the Industrial-Scale Polymerization (ISP). Experimental tests are performed to check the efficacy of the proposed controller using a laboratory-level coupled tank system. A comparison of the proposed approach and sliding mode controller (SMC) is presented. Simulation and experiment results show that the DySMC approach reduces the chattering, and compensates for the effect of the external disturbances, and parametric uncertainties.","PeriodicalId":409364,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Robotics and Control Systems","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124030191","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}

Comparing RECs, solar energy is abundant and accessible in any part of the world. Needless to state that a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) system is required in order to extract maximum power from solar modules. In this paper, a charging strategy is proposed via using a solar system, a boost converter, and a fuzzy tracking algorithm.
