Closed-loop model-free optimization of positive feedback time delay controllers for dominant time delay systems is presented. Iterative feedback tuning (IFT) is applied to the tuning of positive feedback time delay controller. Three experiments are carried out to perform the model-free gradient descent optimization. The initial controller parameters and duration in specifying the cost function are suggested. The effects of step size, filter function and time weighting function on the performance of the optimized controlled are given. Simulation and experimental studies are included to demonstrate the effectiveness of the tuning scheme.

Magnetic Suspension and Balance System (MSBS) demonstrates the capacity to levitate an experimental model absent any mechanical contact using magnetic forces and moments. It allows precise control of position and attitude of the model, and measures external forces and moments acting on the model. For the purpose of acquisition of reliable experimental results under stable and safe conditions, the performance and robustness of the position and attitude control system of MSBS needs to be improved. To this end, Iterative Feedback Tuning (IFT) and L1 adaptive output feedback algorithm were employed to automatically increase command following performance and to ensure robust operation of MSBS with failure of electric power supply. The applicability was validated using computational simulation.

As a vehicle moves on multiple equal-span beams at constant speed, the running vehicle would be subjected to repetitive excitations from the beam vibrations under it. Once the exciting frequency caused by the vibrating beams coincides with any of the vehicle's frequencies, resonance would take place on the vehicle. A similar resonance phenomenon occurs on a beam subject to sequential moving loads with identical axle-intervals. To reduce both resonant phenomena of a vehicle moving on guideway girders, this study proposed an additional feedback controller based the condensed virtual dynamic absorber (C-VDA) scheme. This condensation scheme has the following advantages: (1) the feedback tuning gains required to adapt the control currents or voltages are directly obtained from the tuning forces of the VDA; (2) the condensed VDA scheme does not need additional DoFs of the absorber to control the vibration of the maglev-vehicle/guideway system. By decomposing the maglev vehicle-guideway coupling system into two sub-systems (the moving vehicle and the supporting girders), an incremental-iterative procedure associated with the Newmark method is presented to solve the two sets of sub-system equations. From the present studies, the proposed C-VDA scheme is a feasible approach to suppress the interaction response for a maglev vehicle in resonance moving on a series of guideway girders.

Model-free Method들 중에 반복 피트백 조절 알고리즘(Iterative Feedback Tuning, IFT)는 특정한 성능지수를 정의하고, 이를 최소화하도록 제어기의 게인들을 조절하는 방법을 제시하였다. PID와 같은 고전적인 제어이론에 근거한 제어기 설계 과정과는 달리, IFT 알고리즘은 반복 실험을 통해 성능지수의 Gradient를 구하여 이로부터 필터 게인들 조정하는 방법을 채택하고 있다. 수학적 증명과 실험적 실증을 통하여 IFT의 수렴성과 유용성이 보여짐에도 불구하고 IFT 알고리즘의 한계점은 단일 성능지수의 사용이라는데 있다. 이를 개선하기 위해서는 단일 제어 목적을 위한 단일 성능지수의 사용이 아닌 복수의 제어 목적을 위한 복수의 성능지수의 사용이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 두 개의 성능지수를 가지는 IFT를 이용해서 위상 여유가 크고, 대역폭이 넓은 제어기를 설계하기 위해서 제어기 게인을 자동 조절하는 알고리즘을 제안하고 ODD에서 사용되는 플랜트에 적용한 모의실험을 통하여 그 유용성을 보였다.

This paper describes a Web search optimization study that investigates both static and dynamic tuning methods for optimizing system performance. We extended the conventional fusion approach by introducing the "dynamic tuning" process with which to optimize the fusion formula that combines the contributions of diverse sources of evidence on the Web. By engaging in iterative dynamic tuning process, where we successively fine-tuned the fusion parameters based on the cognitive analysis of immediate system feedback, we were able to significantly increase the retrieval performance. Our results show that exploiting the richness of Web search environment by combining multiple sources of evidence is an effective strategy.

We present a P-type iterative learning control(ILC) scheme for uncertain robotic systems that perform the same tasks repetitively. The proposed ILC scheme comprises a linear feedback controller consisting of position error, and a feedforward and feedback teaming controller updated by current velocity error. As the learning iteration proceeds, the joint position and velocity mrs converge uniformly to zero. By adopting the learning gain dependent on the iteration number, we present joint position and velocity error bounds which converge at the arbitrarily tuned rate, and the joint position and velocity errors converge to zero in the iteration domain within the adopted error bounds. In contrast to other existing P-type ILC schemes, the proposed ILC scheme enables analysis and tuning of the convergence rate in the iteration domain by designing properly the learning gain.

The guidance controller of the conventional aircraft consists of inner-loop (autopilot) and outer-loop (guidance). If the guidance controller can be designed as an integrated guidance and control (IGC), the various advantages exist. The integrated guidance and control formulation can compensate for the effect of autopilot lag. An integrated approach also helps avoid the iterative procedure involved in tuning the guidance and autopilot subsystems, if designed separately. Integrated design is also less susceptible to saturation and stability problems. This paper presents an approach to IGC design for the unpowered air vehicle with the only flaperon using a combination of adaptive output feedback inversion and backstepping techniques. Adaptive neural networks are trained online with available measurements to compensate for unmodeled nonlinearities in the design process.
