In this paper, we propose an adaptive tracking control method of a mobile manipulator for contour following with a kinematic model to have several unknown dimension parameters. Moreover, we will use the decentralized control method to design two independent controllers for two subsystems. The proposed controllers in this paper are based on the Lyapunov function in order to guarantee the stability of whole system for contour following task. The updated laws are also designed to estimated the unknown dimension parameters. Finally, the simulation results are presented to show the validity of the proposed controllers in this paper.

The proposed algorithm uses a modified adaptive law which consists of switching -modification, normalized augmented error and low-pass filtered signal of output tracking error, furthermore, the proportional term that is a product of the output tracking error and the bounded signal having an information of output tracking error is added to the conventional control law for improvement of robustness and performance of an adaptive system. For the arbitrary nth order system, mathematical analysis and computer simulation are used to demonstrate improvement of output error characteristics, guaranteeing boundedness of all signals in the overall system.

The disinfection method using UV has emerged as photodissociation in water disinfection. In order to predict performance for UV disinfection, CFD analysis was performed due to saving cost. Most CFD studies of UV reactor have used particle tracking method. However it demands additional analysis time, computing resource and phase besides working fluid. In this paper, pathogenic microorganisms' route is assumed to streamline of fluid to save computing time. the computational results are in good agreement with experimental results. The results of streamline method are compared with the particle tracking method. In conclusion, the effectiveness of streamline method for UV disinfection are confirmed.

The requirements for higher productivity call for high speed of the machine tool axes. Iron core type linear DC motor is growly accepted for a viable candidate of the high speed machine tool feed unit. LDM, however, has inherent disturbance force components: cogging and force ripple. These disturbance force directly affects the carrage tracking accuracy and must be eliminated or reduced. Reducing motor ripple, this paper adapted the feed forward compensation method. Experiments carried out on the linear motor test setup show that this compensation method is usable in order to reduce the motor ripple.

Higher productivity requires high-speed motion of machine tool axes. The iron core linear DC motor (LDM) is widely accepted as a viable candidate for high-speed machine tool feed unit. LDM, however, has two inherent disturbance force components, namely cogging and thrust force ripple. These disturbance forces directly affect the tracking accuracy of the feeding system and must be eliminated or reduced. In order to reduce motor ripple, this research adapted the feedforward compensation method and neural network control. Experiments carried out with the linear motor test setup show that these control methods are effective in reducing motor ripple.

A new sliding surface for a viaraible structure control(VSC) law is emplyed to achieve fast and robust path tracking in a class of second-order nonlinear unceratin dynamical systems. The surface onitialy passes arbitrarily given initial conditions and subsequently moves towards a predetermined surface via rotaiting or/and shifting. We call it as a moving sliding surface(MSS). The surface is then incorporated with the VSC law which is constructed by imposing the sliding conditions in a special way. We primarily enforce the conditions which assume that once the system state is on a sliding surface that it is driven towards the zero state. Using the VSC law associatied with the MSS, it is shown that the tracking behavoirs are remarkably improved in the sene of the fastness and the robustness.

We developed a visual system that is able to track the moving objects within a certain range of errors. The visual system is driven by two DC servo motors that are controlled by a computer based on the visual data obtained from a CCD video camera. The software to track the moving objects is developed based on the PWM of the DC motors. Also, the problems how to implement a fuzzy logic control method and a neural network in this system, are also considered in order to check the control performance of tracking. The fuzzy logic algorithm is a powerful control technique for nonlinear dynamical system and also the neural network could be implemented in this system. In this paper, we present configuration of tracking system developed in our laboratory, the control methods of the visual system and the experimental results are shown.

In order to find the optimal control law for the precise trajectory tracking of a robot manipulator, a perturbational control method is proposed based on a linearized manipulator dynamic model which can be obtained in a very compact and computationally efficient manner using the dual number algebra. Manipulator control can be decomposed into two parts: the nominal control and the corrective perturbational control. The nominal control is precomputed from the inverse dynamic model using the quantities of a desired trajectory. The perturbational control is obtained by applying the second-variational method on the linearized dynamic model. Simulation results for a PUMA-560 robot show that, by using this controller, the desired trajectory tracking performance of the robot can be achieved, even in the presence of large initial positional disturbances.

In order for a vehicle to follow a predetermined trajectory accurately, its position must be estimated accurately and reliably. In this thesis, we propose trajectory tracking control methods for unmanned vehicle and a positioning system using ultrasonic wave. The positioning problem is an important part of control problem for unmanned navigation of a vehicle. Dead Reckoning is widely used for positioning of vehicle. However this method has problems because it accumulates estimation errors. We propose a new method to increase the accuracy of position estimation using the Ultrasonic Satellite System (USAT). It is shown that we will be able to estimate the position of vehicle precisely, in which errors are not accumulated. And proposed trajectory tracking control methods include both a new path planning method and a lateral control method for vehicle. The experimental results show that the proposed methods enables exact vehicle trajectory tracking even under various environmental factors.

Hand segmentation and tracking is essential to the development of a hand gesture recognition system. This research features segementation and tracking of hand regions based the hue component of color. We propose a method that employs HSI color model, and segments and tracks hand regions using the hue component of color alone. In order to track the segmented hand regions, we only apply Kalman filter to a region of interest represented by a rectangle region. Initial experimental results show that the system accurately segments and tracks hand regions although it only uses the hue compoent of color. The system yields near real time throghput of 8 frames per second on a Pentium II 233MHz PC.
