[2] – [7] respectively. In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem for a linear hyperbolic system in which multiple time delays appear in the state equation. The initial conditions are given by control functions. Sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique solution of such hyperbolic equations with the Dirichlet boundary conditions are presented. The performance functional has the quadratic form. The time horizon T is fixed. Finally, we impose some constraints on the control. Making use of the Lions scheme [8], necessary and sufficient conditions of optimality for the Dirichlet problem with the quadratic performance functional and constrained control are derived.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131662030","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 this context a navigation system for an autonomous mobile robot using intelligent fuzzy logic technique will be presented. Fuzzy logic control is able to emulate human experience about how best to control a system without needing accurate model equations, and can handle any perturbation in the system. A hierarchical behavior based control strategy has been devised in which four different reactive behaviors are combined by means of a fuzzy supervisor. For testing and validation, many simulations have been proposed which focus on: moving towards static or movable goal; escaping from local minima whenever it's detected; and traversing a cluttered environment with unknown static and dynamic obstacles.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127881238","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 motivation for this research is the necessity to achieve tighter power plant control in the wide range load following operation. The reheater under consideration consists of a series of three heat exchangers and two of them can be fully or partially bypassed. Accurate first principles model of the reheater is developed in the first part of the paper. Good approximation of the distributed parameter behavior is obtained by dividing the dynamics of the individual heat exchangers into several control volumes. Resulting high order model is considerably nonlinear. Moreover, switching of its dynamic behavior occurs because of the bypassing of the individual reheat stages. Thus, this reheater represents a non-trivial control challenge. Model predictive controller is designed in the second part. It is based on a piecewise affine model. Piecewise affine model is used both to approximate reheater nonlinearity and to describe the switches of reheater dynamics. The performance of the predictive controller is compared with the classical control system. Considerable performance improvement can be observed.","PeriodicalId":440376,"journal":{"name":"2011 16th International Conference on Methods & Models in Automation & Robotics","volume":"53 10","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132286947","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}
