As required performance of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) becomes more complex and complicated, required positioning accuracy is becoming more and more higher. GPS is a reliable world wide positioning providing system. Therefore, UAV generally acquires position information from GPS. But when GPS is not available such as too weak signal or too less GPS satellites environments, UAV needs alternative positioning system such as network positioning system. RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) based positioning, which is one method of network positioning technologies, determines its position using RSSI measurements containing distance information from AP (Access Point)s. In that method, a selected AP's configuration has strong and tight relationship with its positioning errors. In this paper, for, we additionally account AP's configuration information by adopting DOP (Dilution of Precision) into AP selection procedures and provide more accurate RSSI based positioning results.

This paper describes the problem of ultraprecision positioning with a ball screw mechanism in the microdynamic range, along with its solution. We compared the characteristics of two ball screw mechanisms with different table masses. The experimental results showed that the vibration resulting from the low stiffness of the ball screw degraded the positioning performance in the microdynamic range for the heavyweight mechanism. The proposed nominal characteristic trajectory following (NCTF) controller was designed for ultra precision positioning of the ball screw mechanism. The basic NCTF control system achieved ultra precision positioning performance with the lightweight mechanism, but not with the heavyweight mechanism. A conditional notch filter was added to the NCTF controller to overcome this problem. Despite the differences in payload and friction, both mechanisms then showed similar positioning performance, demonstrating the high robustness and effectiveness of the improved NCTF controller with the conditional notch filter. The experimental results demonstrated that the improved NCTF control system with the conditional notch filter achieved ultra precision positioning with a positioning accuracy of better than 10 nm, independent of the reference step input height.

Piezoelectric actuator is widely used in precision positioning applications due to its excellent positioning resolution. However, serious hysteresis nonlinearity of the actuator deteriorates its open loop positioning capability. Generally, a nonlinear hysteresis model is used in feedforward loop to improve positioning accuracy. In this study, however, a simple lead compensator is proposed as a substitution for a complex nonlinear hysteresis model and tested through experiments for precision position control.

An essential ingredient in precision machining is a positioning system that responds quickly and precisely to very small input signal. In this paper, two different positioning systems were presented fot the precision positioning control. The one is a friction drive system, the other is a ballscrew system. The friction drive system was composed of an air sliding guide and a friction drive. The ballscrew system was made of a ballscrew and a linear guide. Nonlinear behaviors of the given systems tend to make the system inaccurate. The paper looked at the phenomena that has caused the positioning error. These apparently nonlinear phenomena can be attributed mainly to the presence of the nonlinear friction and slip effect plus the dynamic change from the microdynamic to the macrodynamic and form the macrodynamic to the microdynamic. For the control of the positioning system, the control algorithm based on a neural network is suggested. The FEL(Feedback Error Learning) controller can learn the inverse dynamics of a nonlinear system by using the neural network controller, and stabilize the system by a linear controller. In the experiment, PTP control is implemented withen the maximum error of 0.05 .mu.m ~0.1 .mu. m when i .mu.m step reference input is applied and that of maximum 1 .mu. m when 100 .mu.m step reference input is given. Sinusoidal inputs with the amplitude of 1 .mu.m and 100 .mu. m are used for the tracking control of the positioning system. Experimental results of the proposed algorithm are shown to be superior to those of conventional PD controls.

In this paper, a model-based stick-slip compensation for the micro-positioning is proposed using an enhanced stick-slip model based on statistical rough surface contact model. The smart structure is comprised with PZT (lead (Pb) zirconia (Zr) Titanate (Ti)) based stack actuator incorporating with the PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control algorithm, mechanical displacement amplifier and positioning devices. For the stick-slip compensation, the elastic-plastic static friction model is used considering the elastic-plastic asperity contact in the rough surfaces statistically. Mathematical model of system for the positioning apparatus was derived from the dynamic behaviors of structural parts. PID feedback control algorithms with the developed stick-slip model as well as feedforward friction compensator are formulated for achieving the accurate positioning performance. Experimental results are provided to show the performances of friction control using the developed positioning apparatus.

Indoor real-time positioning for multiple targets is required to realize human-robot symbiosis. This study firstly presents positioning accuracy on an autonomous mobile robot controlled by 3-D coordinates that is obtained by a real-time indoor positioning system with spread spectrum (SS) ultrasonic signals communicated by code-division multiple access. Although many positioning systems have been investigated, the positioning system with the SS ultrasonic signals can measure identified multiple 3-D positions in every 70 ms with noise tolerance and error within 100 mm. This system is also robust to occlusion and environmental changes. However, thus far, the positioning errors in an autonomous mobile robot, controlled by these systems using the SS ultrasonic signals, have not been evaluated as an experimental study. Therefore, a positioning experiment for trajectory control is conducted using an autonomous mobile robot and our positioning system. The effectiveness of this positioning method for robot self-localization is shown, from this experiment, because the average control error between the target position and the robot's position at 29 mm is obtained.
