Direct-drive robots are suitable to position and force control with high accuracy, but it is difficult to design a controller which gives satisfactory perfonnance because of the system's nonlinearity and link-interactions. This paper is concerned with the force control of direct-drive robots. The pro¬posed algorithm consists of feedback controllers and a neural network. Mter the completion of learning, the outputs of feedback controllers are nearly equal to zero, and the neural network con¬troller plays an important role in the control system. Therefore, the optimum adjustment of parameters of feedback controllers is unnecessary. In other words, the proposed algorithm does not need any knowledge of the controlled system in advance. The effectiveness of the proposed algo¬rithm is demonstrated by the experiment on the force control of a parallelogram link-type direct¬drive robot.

In this paper, a novel anti-sway control system that uses an inclinometer as a sway sensor is investigated. The inclinometer, when compared with a vision system, is very cheap, durable, and easy to maintain, while providing almost the same performance. A number of observers to estimate the angular velocity of the load and the trolley velocity are presented. A state feedback controller with an integrator is designed. After a time-scale analysis, a 1/4-size pilot crane of a rail-mounted quayside crane was constructed. The performance of the proposed control system was verified with a real rubber-tired gantry crane at a container terminal as well as with the constructed pilot crane. Experimental results are provided.

The equipment of industrial robot in manufacturing and assembly lines has rapidly increased. In order to achieve high productivity and flexibility, it becomes very important to develop the visual feedback control system with Off-Line Programming System(OLPS). We can save much efforts and time in adjusting robots to newly defined workcells by using OLPS. A proposed visual calibration scheme is based on position-based visual feedback. The calibration program firstly generates predicted images of objects in an assumed end-effector position. The process to generate predicted images consists of projection to screen-coordinates, visible range test and construction of simple silhouette figures. Then camera images acquired are compared with predicted ones for updating position and orientation data. Computation of error is very simple because the scheme is based on perspective projection which can be also expanded to experimental results. Computation time can be extremely reduced because the proposed method does not require the precise calculation of tree-dimensional object data and image Jacobian.

In ground vehicles, the increasing demand for safety and ride comfort which are trade-off relation, especially at high speeds, has led to the development od actively controlled suspensions. The LQG/LTR controller can be used to design a robust feedback control system that deals with disturbance rejection properties as well as insensitivity to modelling errors and sensor noise. And when the disturbance can not be measured but is limited within a certain frequency range, a bandpass feedback to eliminate the disturbance response can be used. In this paper, hybrid controller cosisted of bandpass feedback controller and LQG/LTR controller is applied to a quarter-car model moving on a randomly profiled road. The random road profile considered as colored noise is shaped from white noise by use of shaping filter. The performance of the hybrid control system is compared with that of an LQG/LTR controlled system.

In this paper the sway-control problem of a container crane is investigated. The control loop is divided into two stages. The first stage is a modified time optimal control for trolley traversing. The velocity command for trolley traversing consists of three components ; a reference velocity and two feedback signals for compensating the deviations of trolley and sway angle from their desired trajectories. For trolley's exact positioning the trolley dynamics is identified via an error equation identifier structure. The second stage is a nonlinear residual sway control that starts at the end of first stage. The control design for the second stage is investigated from the perspective of controling an underactuated system, and the control law combines the feedback linearization and variable structure control.

A self-sensing magnetic suspension system utilizing a LC resonant circuit is proposed by using the characteristic that the inductance of the magnetic system is varied with respect to the air gap displacement. An external capacitor is added into the electric system to make the levitation system be statically stable system, which much relieves the control effort required to stabilize the magnetic suspension system of haying an intrinsic unstable nature. For the realization of the self- sensing magnetically levitated system, an amplitude modulation / demodulation method is used with a positive position feedback controller Experimental results are presented to validate the proposed method.

본 논문에서 제안한 제어기 구조는 일반적인 궤환제어기를 기초로 구성한다. 일반적인 궤환제어기는 플랜트 입력과 기준신호 사이의 오차에 제어기의 적당한 이득을 곱한 제어입력을 공급한다. 설계한 궤환 퍼지제어는 3개의 루프로 구성되며, 내부 루프는 보통의 궤환제어기와 플랜트로 구성된다. 제어기는 퍼지 모델링과 퍼지추론기로 이루어진 외부 루프에 의해서 조절되며 제안한 궤환 퍼지 시스템의 출력이 기준신호를 향해서 잘 수렴하는가를 확인하기 위해 직접구동 밸브를 사용한 비선형 유압 서보시스템을 제어대상으로 부동 소수점 DSP 프로세서를 사용하여 구현한 후 실험결과를 관찰하였다. 실험결과 궤환 퍼지제어기는 정상상태 도달시간은 느리지만 오버슈트나 언더슈트는 일어나지 않는다. 그러므로 새로운 궤환제어 방식을 사용한 궤환 퍼지제어 알고리즘이 비선형 플랜트에 효과적으로 잘 적응됨을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a bidirectional platoon control law using a coupled distance error based on the backstepping-like feedback linearization control method for an interconnected mobile agent system with a string structure. Unlike the previous results where the single agent was controlled using the only own information without other agents, the proposed control law cannot show the only distance error convergence of each agent, but also the string stability of the whole system. Also, the control performances are improved by the proposed control law in spite of low performance of bidirectional control strategy in the previous results. The proposed bidirectional platoon control algorithm is based on the backstepping-like feedback linearization control method. The position errors between each agent and the preceding and the behind agents are coupled by weighted summation. By the proposed control law, the distance error of each agent can converge to zero while the string stability is guaranteed when the coupled errors can converge to zero. To this end, the back-stepping control method is employed. The pseudo velocity input is determined considering the kinematic relationship between agents and the string stability. Then, the actual dynamic control input is determined to make the actual velocity converge to the pseudo velocity input. The stability analysis and the simulation results of the proposed method are included in order to demonstrate the practical application of the proposed algorithm.

The design problem of partial pole assignment (PPA) in two classes of frequency-domain MIMO models by constant gain feedback is investigated in this paper. Its aim is to design a constant gain feedback which changes only a subset of the open-loop eigenvalues, while the rest of them are kept unchanged in the closed-loop system. A near general parametric expression for the feedback gain matrix in term of a set of design parameter vectors and the set of the closed-loop poles, and a simple parametric approach for solving the proposed problem are presented. The set of poles do not need to be previously prescribed, and can be set undetermined and treated together with the set of parametric vectors as degrees of design freedom provided by the approach. An illustrative example shows that the proposed parametric method is simple and effective.

We present a state-space approach to design a passivity-based dynamic output feedback control of a finite collection of non-square linear systems. We first determine a squaring gain matrix and an additional dynamics that is connected to the systems in a feedforward way, then a static passivating (i.e. rendering passive) control law is designed. Consequently, the actual feedback controller will be the static control law combined with the feedforward dynamics. A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the parallel feedfornward compensator (PFC) is given by the static output feedback fomulation, which enables to utilize linear matrix inequality (LMI). The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by some examples including the systems which can be stabilized by the proprotional-derivative (PD) control law.
