The capsubot is an underactuated nonlinear dynamics system which is driven by an internal impact force and friction. Here, motion mechanism of the capsubot is divided into two stages. In the first stage, the aim is to design an optimal controller minimizing energy consumption. In the second one, optimization is not an objective and instead a four-step strategy for inner mass of the capsubot is proposed. Then based on the proposed motion strategy, a trajectory profile is given. Using this trajectory profile, the capsubot moves in a desired direction. To evaluate the performance of the proposed control scheme, a comparative study has been performed by means of simulation. Simulation results show that the proposed approach is promising as compared to the Open-Loop Control (OLC) approach which widely used in the literature for control of the capsubot.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126850881","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 leader-follower formation under consideration, a desired trajectory is given to the leader. The followers keep a specified distance and orientation while following the leader to keep a certain formation. All the agents in the formation avoid obstacles by producing a local virtual force with respect to their distance from the obstacle.

Most of the previous methods are suffering from certain problems, e.g narrow speed range, starting problems, the low efficiency of the motor.

The proposed method could be applied for any kind of manipulator configuration independent from number of joints. This method formulates the inverse kinematics problem as an optimization algorithm, solves it using the SGA in two steps and can be extended further. The advantage of splitting the procedure can be beneficial when procedures execute in parallel. At the first step, the SGA looks for successive joint values set for a given manipulator as candidate joints set, and at the second one, SGA would find the optimum joint values. Therefore, the manipulator's end-effector would be smoothly moved from an initial location to its target with minimum joints displacement while avoiding singularity. Simulation studies show that the proposed method represents an efficient approach to solve the inverse kinematics problem of open-chain manipulators with any degree of redundancy.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"23 1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123787607","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}

Variations in the values of weight, the friction coefficient of the road, road inclination and other nonlinear dynamics may highly affect the performance of antilock braking systems (ABS). This system which is a nonlinear system may not be easily controlled by classical control methods. An intelligent fuzzy control method is very useful for this kind of nonlinear system. Also, a self-tuning scheme seems necessary to overcome these problems. We develop an adaptive neuro-fuzzy self-tuning PID control scheme for ABS. In this paper, fuzzy self-tuning PID controllers with using ANFIS have been improved in antilock braking system. This controller designed with three control objectives consist of reduce stopping time, limit slip ratio and improve the performance controlling system (reducing rise time and overshoot) on the ABS brake. Results of simulation showed that our aims are achieved.","PeriodicalId":438427,"journal":{"name":"The 2nd International Conference on Control, Instrumentation and Automation","volume":"138 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122236543","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}
