If the cost of the actuators can be brought to a reasonable level, then sophisticated control algorithm should make the most out of the over-actuation property. A key aspect in lateral dynamics control of an over actuated EV with In Wheel motors and active front and/or rear steering is the so called control allocation problem. Often such problems are solved using the 2 norm (weighted least square solution) as it is expressed in a closed form-solution and has a low fixed number of arithmetic operations suited for real time control. In this work a closed-form solution based on the infinity norm for the case of 2 to 3 control allocation problem in EV lateral dynamic control is derived, and validated by means of simulation runs considering an electric vehicle with In-Wheel-Motor traction and active front and rear steering. During a “sine with a dwell” steering command at a constant velocity the superiority of the proposed algorithm based on the infinity norm is shown.","PeriodicalId":448152,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130786559","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 control system in HDDs, the head assembly was influenced the effect of several disturbances, e.g., RRO, flutter vibration, force disturbance, and so on. At the force disturbance, it caused by wind force, external shock, tension force of Flexible Printed Circuit, and rolling friction around pivot bearing. In these force disturbances, the influence of the rolling friction is large at positioning in minute area. Therefore, controlling the rolling friction is important at short span seeking for the high performance trajectory. In the past research, we proposed the friction model that considered about the dynamic characteristics of rolling friction. However, this model expressed only the friction motion of short span seeking operation, and was not able to express the friction characteristic of various operations. Therefore, we present a new friction model that considered a velocity characteristic based on Koizumi's model. And we propose a 2 DOF control system to suppress the effect of the rolling friction with dynamic characteristic. The effects of the proposed friction model and controller performance are verified by experimental results of short span seeking operation.","PeriodicalId":448152,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132386003","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}

Haptic feedback is provided to an operator through the system utilizing a reaction force observer (RFOB) taking hysteresis and linear dynamics of the piezoelectric cantilever into account. Scaling of the position and the force enables operator to manipulate micro objects, and to feel the slight reaction force from the objects. RFOB makes it possible to estimate the reaction force without force sensors. Oblique coordinate based control indicates how to tune the gain ratio between a master robot and slave robot when the actuator of the master robot is different from that of salve. An experiment is conducted to verify the proposed method by using a linear motor and a piezoelectric cantilever. The results showed that the operator could feel the reaction force applied to the slave robot which was scaled up 500 times. It also showed precise position tracking with the error of ±1.1 μm. The force estimation on the piezoelectric cantilever was achieved with error of only ±0.003 N.","PeriodicalId":448152,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114969812","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 a conventional research, a vibration control using a reflected wave rejection based on wave equation was proposed. From the viewpoint of the wave, vibrations are suppressed by eliminating a reflected wave. The conventional method can suppress the all resonances by using a reflected wave rejection. However, the conventional reflected wave rejection assumes that poles of the resonant system are located on the imaginary axis at regular intervals. Considering real industry application, there is few case that the above assumption is realized. Therefore, in this paper, the resonant system is modeled as a wave equation including not only spring but also damper. Considering the damper effect, the proposed method is not restricted by the above assumption. In addition, based on the wave equation including the damper effect, this paper presents the method of eliminating the reflected wave. The reflected wave is eliminated by a novel reflected wave rejection with a fractional order low-pass filter. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation and experimental results.","PeriodicalId":448152,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126227940","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}

Previous haptics, especially the bilateral control systems, mainly focused on transmitting the sense of touch and position tracking. In order to expand haptic technology, it is necessary to consider the dynamics motion, such as the impulse force against the environment. For this reason, a collision model is implemented into an environment for a grasping/manipulating simulation system. By applying the collision model, the reaction force, which occurs between the robot and the environment, can be predicted. This implies more accurate interpretation of the dynamics between the robot and the object is available. The simulation platform is confirmed to be valid by comparing the experimental result with the simulation result of grasping/manipulating control. From these results, the relation between the environmental parameters and sampling period of the controller is clarified.","PeriodicalId":448152,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Mechatronics (ICM)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128030062","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}
