Firstly, making dynamic analysis for the VSBR whose front wheel is fixed at arbitrary degrees about its front fork. The roll angle, yaw angle, the angle front fork rotated and the angle front wheel rolling are chosen as generalized coordinates. A kind of dynamic model of VSBR is built based on Routh equation. The angle of front fork rotated is fixed at 45 degrees in this dynamic model. And the angle of back wheel rolling is 0 in the track-stand motion. At last two dynamic differential equations are presented and the dynamic model is built. The robust controller is designed based on RBF neutral network arithmetic. Feedforward term in the controller is used for nonlinear compensation in the controller. The drive torque of the motor which is driving front wheel is output of the controller. The roll angle of body of VSBR and the angle that front wheel rotated are inputs of the controller. A multiple-input single-output (MISO) controller is built. The L2-gain of the system would be adjusted to make the controller robust. The simulation results of the RBF robust controller and the dynamic model of VSBR show feasibility and effectiveness of the dynamic model and the designed controller.","PeriodicalId":427762,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation (ICIA)","volume":"89 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"113932986","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}

If the group decision algorithm is not well designed, it will lead to the experts' opinions compromise to each other, and the final result will be the experts' mean opinions. It may be kind of safe, but too conservative to receive the few but creative and right opinions. In this paper, a group decision making approach based on PAM (Partitioning Around Medoids) and Particle swarm optimization was proposed. With this approach, we can promote the effective interactions among experts and deepen their task understandings by analyzing their opinions' conflicts, thereby, accelerating the convergence of group opinions, improving the efficiency of group decision making and the reliability of the results. In some cases the experts cannot reach consensus independently, but we can solve this problem with this approach by searching the optimal solution within the acceptable range given by expert groups, fine-tuning the original evaluation matrix, thus improving the success rate of group decision making.","PeriodicalId":427762,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Conference on Information and Automation (ICIA)","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131982571","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}

In the charging mode, the SRM phase windings are used as large inductance, among two phases are directly connected to the grid. So, the two phases asymmetrical half-bridge are rebuilt a bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) converter to satisfy the power quality requirement. Another phase asymmetrical half-bridge is constructed to be a buck-boost convertor to realize battery charging. In the V2G mode, the two phases asymmetrical half-bridge and a large capacitance are used as a voltage source type inverter(VSTI), which can feedback the capacitance power to the grid. The other phase can run as a boost converter to boost up the dc-link voltage from battery.

Unlike the existing solutions obtained from specific studies, the proposed outer synchronization scheme can be applicable for a class of complex networks with nonlinear and time-delay characteristics and the synchronization criteria are not restricted by the symmetry of the network topological structures. This greatly improves the applicability and generality of the controller in practical deployment.

In the proposed distributed scheme each estimator provides a fault estimate by adopting both its local measurement and information from neighbors, which are quantized before transmission due to the limited bandwidth resource. A sector bound approach is firstly introduced to handle the quantization error. Then the dynamics of estimation errors are modeled as a system with uncertainties. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, a sufficient condition is derived such that the estimation error system is asymptotically stable and achieves a prescribed H∞ noise attenuation performance. A convex optimization problem is formulated for designing the desired distributed estimators.

On the moon, lunar regolith and lunar rock may be encountered randomly along the longitudinal direction. Due to the indeterminable drilling environments for the sampling device, the automated control becomes very crucial in the drilling process. This paper proposed an adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) based control strategy to tackle the complex drilling media beneath lunar surface. The network is trained through typical lunar regolith simulants and lunar rock simulants, with high identification ratio. A multi-layered drilling medium is built with lunar regolith simulant and lunar rock simulant for drilling experimental test.

There are many factors exerting influences on the manipulator and the forces are complicated. Firstly, based on thin shell theory and existing data, the size of manipulator is decided. Secondly, SolidWorks software is used to establish the three-dimensional model, and ANSYS is used to import the key components of flexible arm. Then static analysis is carried out on the flexible arm to compute the deformation nephogram and stress nephogram.

Furthermore, to reduce control complexity, joint motions of the presented robotic system are designed to be decoupled.
