However, microalgal biodiesel is not economically competitive compared to other sources of biodiesel or petrodiesel. To improve the productivity of lipid and biomass in photobioreactor systems, real-time monitoring and control are prerequisite. However, measurement of lipid in microalgae itself is very difficult and time consuming task, and it is not easy to know the lipid concentration in real-time. In this study, estimation of lipid concentration using other online measurements from biomass or glucose sensor was studied. Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF), and Particle Filter (PF) were compared in various cases for their applicability to photobioreactor systems. Furthermore, simulation studies to find appropriate types of sensors for estimating lipid have also been performed. This study suggests what filters and what type of sensors are suitable for estimating lipid concentration on-line.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"121 1","pages":"1299-1304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86724311","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}

However, the production of biobutanol through fermentation is complicated by the fact that butanol inhibits the microorganism's cell growth and therefore the butanol production when its concentration in the fermentation broth reaches a certain critical level. In order to raise the volumetric productivity to a commercially acceptable level, produced biobutanol needs to be separated out as the fermentation is on-going. In this study, a continuous extractive fermentation process integrated with an ex-situ adsorption recovery process is studied to overcome this limitation. Switching of the adsorption column upon the saturation yields a continuous process with a cyclic steady state behavior. A dynamic model for the integrated process is developed and an optimization is performed based on the cyclic steady state analysis in order to design an optimal operation strategy that satisfies given requirements.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"30 1 1","pages":"1305-1310"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90067649","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 order to prove this, a domestic cat was observed to investigate galloping gait patterns of the feline. Based on the measurement of the dynamic behavior of a domestic cat, we observed a significant increase in speed through correlated angular rate changes of spinal segments. To support the motion into a quadruped system, the hindlimb stance phase was analyzed using a 2 dimensional planar dynamic model to verify that the external torque generated by spinal motion plays an important role in increasing the ground reaction force in the direction of movement. To verify the analysis, the dynamic simulation demonstrating the hindlimb stance was applied with 3 parameter variations: time, phase and the amplitude of the fitted relative angular velocity profile.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"27 12 1","pages":"1294-1298"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83531703","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}

These robots consist of two parts: manipulator, also called active cannula, and control unit. Manipulators, which are composed of concentric precurved tubes(usually 2-3), commonly made from nitinol, can enter human body through small incisions or natural orifices and, after reconfiguration into more complex structure, guide surgical instruments to the target regions avoiding obstacles. In this paper, we propose to use plastic as the material for innermost tube. Variations in the shape of lab-made concentric precurved plastic tube prototypes after numerous extension-retractions are investigated. We also use kinematic model, based on beam mechanics, for capturing the end-effector tip position and the shape of the two manipulators (I - manipulator is composed of one nitinol tube and one plastic tube prototype; II - manipulator is composed of two nitinol tubes and one plastic tube prototype). The model predictions are compared with the experimental results. Preliminary results show that plastic tubes may have small radii of precurvature, and sustain extension-retraction without self-damage thus potentially can be used as a component of continuum robots.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"7 1","pages":"217-220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83649534","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 derived algorithm provides a coverage control which not only considers the mobility characteristic of each mobile robot for task allocation but generates robot velocity profile for synchronized coverage completion within the constrained time. Since the environment for robot coverage work is modeled as a set of locations to visit by robots, the derived coverage algorithm and its control method are equally well suited to an unstructured working environment as to the structured work space. In determining the number of locations for each robot to visit during coverage operation, a time index derived from the minimum time velocity profile is used for the comparison of robot performance. Once the set of locations has been determined for each robot, the corresponding path tree and velocity profile are generated for synchronized execution of coverage work. The completeness of synchronized group coverage within the constrained time is proven through simulation for a group of mobile robots with different motor characteristics. An additional consideration by the derived coverage controller is collision avoidance of mobile robots in a crowded environment with the aid of finite potential function approach.","PeriodicalId":6525,"journal":{"name":"2014 14th International Conference on Control, Automation and Systems (ICCAS 2014)","volume":"126 1","pages":"503-508"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78546440","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}
