In this paper, a robust control strategy based on H2 optimal control theory is used to enhance the anti-interference and adaptability to time-varying parameters of UAV lateral control system. Through the analysis of a SUAV lateral multivariable linear model in a key laboratory, a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) method is introduced to design the H2 robust controller. The results show that the closed-loop system of the SUAV with the H2 robust controller can effectively reduce the sideslip angle error and reduce the coupling of flight attitude variables in aileron roll control. At the same time, it has a good performance of suppressing the perturbation of various external disturbance systems and internal structure parameters.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"144 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131040062","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}

Using this task, we show that the perceived uncertainty in a robot's movement is a key determinant of human discomfort, and we discuss how movement uncertainty can give a unified explanation for the modulation of human comfort with robots, and trust in them, as reported in several previous studies.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128230491","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 model was treated as a type of affine nonlinear system for further analysis. Using the sliding-mode variable structure control method, the sliding-mode variable structure controller was solved to realize decoupling of the nonlinear coupling system. By performing a simulation of the boiler steam pressure and water level using the MATLAB environment, it was found that sliding-mode variable structure control based on a nonlinear mathematical model exhibits a series of advantages, including favorable system stability and a strong self-balancing capability.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126534964","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}

Secondly, coupling characteristics among the meta-action units are analyzed and the coupling constraint model is constructed. Then we reduce iteration and feedback of the design process information through reducing the information interaction among the aggregation sets of the units to reach the purpose of soft decoupling.

In particular, generative adversarial imitation learning (GAIL) is used to successfully achieve this task with a $6 mumathrm{m}$ peg-hole clearance on the Yaskawa GP8 industrial robot. Experimental results show that the policy successfully learns within 20 episodes from a handful of human expert demonstrations on the robot (i.e., < 10 tele-operated robot demonstrations).

Rollover prevention systems currently available in commercial vehicles attempts to prevent any wheel lift-off the ground to avoid a subsequent rollover. In literature, attempts that were made to recover a vehicle from a tip-over point after a wheel lift-off has occurred are only a few. The present article proposes a State Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) based anti-rollover controller to recover a vehicle from tip-over point. SDRE method delivers a simple yet effective solution to the nonlinear optimal control problem. An Inverted Double Pendulum on a Cart Model (IDPC) acts as the base model in the controller. The tip-over point of the IDPC model is an unstable equilibrium point of the model and the gravity torque has a negligibly small effect in this vicinity. In the SDRE method, this unstable equilibrium point acts as a singularity point. A virtual rollover torque is used with the IDPC model instead of the gravity torque to overcome this problem. Essentially the controller makes use of a model that is more prone to rollover than the real model with gravity assistance. The controller is evaluated with IDPC model with gravity torque, as well as a 10 Degrees of Freedom (DOF) full vehicle model with a nonlinear tire model. A study is also conducted on the change in performance of the controller with weight value of roll state used in the performance index. Studies proved the controller to be simple yet effective in reinstating the vehicle model in all the near tip-over case studies conducted. The control input force was found to increase with increase in weight value of the roll state which resulted in a reduced reinstating time duration.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122418679","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}
