During microwave drying especially in high moisture content products such as fruits and vegetables, temperature will increase dramatically since they are very responsive to microwave absorption. The characteristics of materials may change with the uncontrolled temperature and result in thermal burning and non-uniform temperature distribution in treated materials. To ensure the effective control without the material degradation, in this paper we propose the automatic phase-controlled of magnetron driver based on temperature detection. The low cost and non-contact infrared temperature measurement is implemented and evaluated in microwave environment. The objective of this proposed control is to automatically control the power output of the magnetron according to the actual product temperature. The hardware component selections and software flowchart are described. The feedback control algorithm based on microcontroller Arduino Mega 2560 is also presented in details. Experimental results of the proposed automatic temperature control of microwave drying system are investigated and verified the effectiveness of the proposed control system.","PeriodicalId":409977,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd IEEE International Symposium on Robotics and Manufacturing Automation (ROMA)","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122276973","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 methodology incorporates two basic behaviors, namely: reaching the goal and avoiding obstacles. The obstacle avoidance behavior is treated using wall-following scheme based on a fuzzy technique proposed for this proposed. The mobile robot control mechanism uses some sort of knowledge-base arranged in a set of fuzzy-rule-base to implement the wanted behavior that makes the mobile robot follow the boundary of an obstacle or a wall. A constant distance to the obstacle/wall is maintained while the robot tries successfully to get around this difficulty. Once the path is clear, the obstacle avoidance behavior is inhibited and reaching the goal behavior is activated using a second fuzzy controller. In order to handle data uncertainties, Type-2 fuzzy sets are considered. This methodology was successfully tested on a real mobile robot for different sort of scenarios.","PeriodicalId":409977,"journal":{"name":"2016 2nd IEEE International Symposium on Robotics and Manufacturing Automation (ROMA)","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126211218","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}

Harmonics problem in power electronics converters is not a new phenomenon as over the decade succeeded in effecting our power output. It is also recognized to be a problem that would destabilize the reliability of power system, to overcome this problem, the design of a suitable filter must be implemented. For this project, a LC Low Pass filter has been chosen to reduce the harmonics in the system to get a 5W power output. The input voltage is a DC battery having power capacity of 24W, 6V DC has been chosen as the input DC voltage and it will be stepped up to 12V DC using the push-pull converter. A voltage regulator circuit is installed to regulate the voltage to the microcontroller chip PIC16F877A that has been used as the main control unit for this project having the capability to generate Pulse Width Modulation (PMW) signals to drive the MOSFET turn ON and OFF. The 12V DC will be inverted to 220V AC using the line frequency inverter.
