We define an integration rule for IBVS and PBVS controllers. Density functions that determine the weighting factor of each controller are defined to satisfy the above constraints. We prove that this integration method provides global stability, and avoids local minima.

Automatic systems are not subject to fatigue and emotions as compared to the human pilot. As such, the possibility of human errors in flight control is minimized. Current automatic flight control systems are designed based on classical control theories using linear controllers that are complex and inefficient. Since an aircraft is naturally nonlinear in its behavior, it is intuitive to design a nonlinear controller that could cover a wide variety of possible 'extreme' flight conditions. A novel controller utilizing the nonlinear energy method was developed by Akmeliawati for the longitudinal dynamics of an aircraft, and has been proven to provide effective control and better performance when compared to an equivalent linear controller. The novel controller was designed using the passivity-based control (PBC) technique. In this paper, a similar nonlinear controller was designed to direct the roll and yaw motion, which is part of the lateral dynamics of the aircraft. Simulations show that this PBC is able to stabilize both roll and yaw motion of the aircraft.","PeriodicalId":415827,"journal":{"name":"2006 9th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision","volume":"33 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114028252","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 convergence speed and stability were enhanced by adding PF. The self-adapting learning and self-adjusting-architecture methods are adopted in order that a moderate size networks model can be obtained according to environmental requirements. The novel BP algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of service selection in ubiquitous computing. We have fulfilled simulation in an actual power supply system for communication devices and the results of simulation show that the proposed control scheme is not only scalable but also efficient.
