This study deals with modeling and flight control of quadrotor type (QRT) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Rigorous dynamic model of a QRT UAV is obtained both in reference and body frame coordinate systems. A disturbance observer (DOB) based controller using the derived dynamic models is also proposed for robust hovering control. The control input induced by DOB is helpful to use simple equations of motion satisfying accurate derived dynamics. The experimental results show the performance of the proposed control algorithm.

Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) have slow responses, so motion blurs are often perceived in fast moving scenes. To reduce this motion blur, we propose a novel method of robust motion compensated frame interpolation (MCFI) based on bidirectional motion estimation (BME) and weight-overlapped block motion compensation (WOBMC) with variable block sizes. In most MCFI methods, a static block size is used, so some block artefacts and motion blurs are observed. However, the proposed method adjusts motion block sizes and search ranges by comparing matching scores, so the precise motion vectors can be estimated in accordance with motions. In the MCFI, overlapping ranges for WOBMC are also determined by adjusted block sizes, so the accurate MCFI can be performed. In the experimental results, the proposed method strongly reduced motion blurs arisen from large motions, and yielded interpolated images with high visual performance and peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR).

In this paper, robust control method using fuzzy PI parameter tuning is proposed to control constant thrust force on load variation. First, a structure and thrust force equations of the LPM are described. Second, an controller with PI parameter-tuning using a fuzzy theory is proposed to achieve high-precision position with constant thrust force of the LPM. Finally, the effectiveness of an fuzzy PI controller is demonstrated by some simulated and experimental results. Accurate tracking response and superior dynamic performance can be obtained due to the powerful on-line Fuzzy PI gain tuning method with regard parametric variations and load thrust force variations.

A contrp; suste, fpr SCARA robot is designed for implememting a robust dynamic control algorithm. this study forcuses on the use of DSPs in the design of joint controllers and interfaces in between the host cotroller and four joint controllers and in between the joint controllers and four servo drives. The mechanical body of SCARA robot and the servo drives are selected from the commercially available ones. The four joint controllers, assigned to each joint one by one, are combined into a common system through a mother board hardwarewise and through the global memeory softwarewise. The mother board is designed to connect joint controllers onto the board through the slots adopting PC/104 bus structures. And, the global memory stores the common data which can be shared by joint controllers and the host computer directly, which virtually combines the whole system into one. To demonstrate the performance and efficienty of the sytem, a robust inverse dynamic algorithm is proposed and implemented for a faster and more precise control. The robust inverse dynamic algorithm is basically derived from an inverse dynamci algorithm and a PID compensator. Based upon the derived dynamic equitions of SCARA robot, the inverse dynamic algorithm is intitially implemented within 0.3 msec of the control cycle in this system. The algoithm is found to be not accurate enough for the high speed and precision tasks due to inherent modelling errors and time-varying factors. Therefore, a variable PID algorithm is combined with the inverse dynamic algorithm to support robustness of control performance. Experimental datfor the proposed algorithm are presented and compared with the result obtained from PID and inverse dynamic algorithm.

Accurate detection of the voicved segment in speech signals is important for robust pitch extraction. This paper describes an explicit detection algorithmfor detecting the voiced segment in speech signals. Thsi algoithm is based on the fluctuation properties of maximum magnitudes in each frame of speech signals. The performance of this detector is evaluated and compared to that obtained from manually classifying 150 recorded digit utterances.

This paper proposes new frame rate up-conversion algorithms. Adaptive motion estimation based on block complexity information are used to obtain more accurate motion vectors. Because the information on block complexity is extracted from the motion estimation prediction size from the original frame, additional computational complexity is not imparted. In experimental results, the proposed algorithms provide robust frame interpolation performance for whole test sequences. Also, the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is reduced to a benchmark algorithm.

A robust controller that combines the merits of the feed-back, feed-forward and model-following control for induction motor drives utilizing field orientation control is designed in this paper. The proposed controller is a two-degrees-of­freedom (2DOF) integral plus proportional & rate feedback (I-PD) speed controller combined with a model-following (2DOF I-PD MFC) speed controller. A systematic mathematical procedure is derived to find the parameters of the 2DOF I-PD MFC speed controller according to certain specifications for the drive system. Initially, we start with the I-PD feed­back controller design, then we add the feed-forward controller. These two controllers combine to form the 2DOF I-PD speed controller. To realize high dynamic performance for disturbance rejection and set point tracking characterisitics, a MFC controller is designed and added to the 2DOF I-PD controller. This combination is called a 2DOF I-PD MFC speed controller. We then study the effect of the 2DOF I-PD MFC speed controller on the performance of the drive system under different operating conditions. A computer simulation is also run to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller. The results verify that the proposed 2DOF I-PD MFC controller is more accurate and more reliable in the presence of load disturbance and motor parameter variations than a 2DOF I-PD controller without a MFC. Also, the proposed controller grants rapid and accurate responses to the reference model, regardless of whether a load disturbance is imposed or the induction machine parameters vary.

In this paper, structural behavior under fire conditions is comprehensively examined, and a novel software interface for testing interfaces efficiently is developed and validated. In order to accurately assess the response of structures to fire scenarios, advanced simulation techniques and modeling approaches are incorporated into the study. This interface enables accurate heat transfer analysis and thermo-mechanical simulations by integrating software tools such as CSI ETABS, CSI SAP2000, and OpenSees. Heat transfer models can be automatically generated, simulation outputs processed, and structural responses interpreted under a variety of fire scenarios using the proposed technique. As a result of rigorous testing and validation against established methods, including Cardington tests on scales and hybrid simulation approaches, the software interface has been proven to be effective and accurate. The analysis process is streamlined by this interface, providing engineers and researchers with a robust tool for assessing structural performance under fire conditions.
