In this study, we present a process of bioacoustic recognition based on digital signal processing and pattern recognition techniques. On top of representations extracted from waveforms and spectra as well as computed by dissimilarities between pairs of them, we build classifiers for identifying 11 species in a data set of bird sounds recorded in the Colombian mountains. Results show that time-varying representations are a particularly good option for characterizing signals in this problem.","PeriodicalId":419849,"journal":{"name":"IX Latin American Robotics Symposium and IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control, 2011 IEEE","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133408307","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 addresses the problem of active mode stabilization in an aircraft with flexible wings. The main objective of closed-loop control is to enlarge the allowable flight envelope by stabilizing flexible modes that become unstable after a certain airspeed is exceeded. The nominal full-order (FO) model has a very large state dimension and hence the controller is designed using a reduced order (RO) model. This paper offers an analysis of the trade-offs present when designing controllers for systems under the premise of large order model reductions. Simulation results are provided using a reliable high order linear model.","PeriodicalId":419849,"journal":{"name":"IX Latin American Robotics Symposium and IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control, 2011 IEEE","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129033643","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 processing/perception module has a microcontroller-based card for global control and some sensors for environment recognition.

This work presents the preliminary study of the control strategy for the steering system for the AGRIBOT project consist of a wheeled autonomous mobile robotic in real scale endowed with the four independent steering and driven wheels (4WSD) configuration. We applied the well-known Ackerman geometry to trace the four steering angles that allow the vehicle to correctly perform a given maneuver preserving the minimum level of stability and maneuverability. Our goal is to establish a relationship between the steering input commands and the control commands to the four actuators so that it is possible to adjust the attitude of the pneumatic over the movement axis, as the trajectory change. We present the synthesis and the analysis of an optimal H∞ controller based on the γ-iteration algorithm to adjust the steering angles by acting over the angular position of a motor shaft which is coupled directly to the pneumatics.","PeriodicalId":419849,"journal":{"name":"IX Latin American Robotics Symposium and IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control, 2011 IEEE","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121762463","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 control scheme is constructed from Lyapunov-like function method and an extended Luenberger observer which allows handling the control input saturation. The measured methane flow rate is used to handle the uncertainty on the reaction rate and an update law to handle the uncertainty on the proportional coefficient of the reaction rate. Under the assumptions of the system model are considered: i) the control input is saturated, ii) the values of the kinetic parameters, the biomass concentration and upper or lower bounds are unknown and iii) the output methane flow rate is measured. The main controller characteristics are the following: i) the closed loop states are bounded, ii) the observer error converges to a residual set whose size is user-defined, iii) the tracking error converges to a residual set which is user-defined; provided, the control input does not reach the extreme values. The controller performance is evaluated via numerical simulations showing excellent results.","PeriodicalId":419849,"journal":{"name":"IX Latin American Robotics Symposium and IEEE Colombian Conference on Automatic Control, 2011 IEEE","volume":"10 18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124730304","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}
