This paper studies the coordinated trajectory control of an excavator as a kind of robotic manipulators driven by hydraulic actuators. Hydraulic robot system has many non-linearity in dynamics and kinematics, and strong coupling among joints(or hydraulic cylinders). This paper proposes a combined controller frame of the adaptive robust control(ARC) and the sliding mode control(SMC) for the trajectory tracking control of the excavator to preserve the advantages of the both methods while overcoming their drawbacks, namely, asymptotic stability of adaptive system for parametric uncertainties and guaranteed transient performance of sliding mode control for both parametric uncertainties and external disturbance. The suggested control technique is applied for the tracking of a straight-line motion of end-effector of manipulators, and through computer simulations, its trajectory tracking performances and the robustness to payload variation and uncertainties are illustrated.

In this paper, a novel sliding surface is proposed by introducing a virtual state. This sliding surface has nominal dynamics of an original system and makes it possible that the Sliding Mode Control(SMC) technique is used with the various types of controllers. Its design is based on the augmented system whose dynamics have one higher order than that of the original system. The reaching phase is removed by using an initial virtual state which makes the initial switching function equal to zero.

양방향 AC/DC 컨버터를 이용하여 EV배터리를 충전하거나 계통으로 전력을 보낼 때 PI제어기를 사용하면 임피던스를 예측할 수 없으므로 초기 구동시 오버슈트가 발생하여 회로에 스트레스가 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 Sliding Mode Controller (SMC)를 이용하여 계통으로 전력을 전달하는 알고리즘으로 소프트 스타트를 하는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통하여 회로를 구성하고 제안한 제어 방법의 성능을 확인하였다.

An electrical vehicle (EV) is a huge issue in the automotive industry. The EV have many electrical units: electric motors, batteries, converters, ets. The DC power distribution system (PDS) is essential for the EV. The DC PDS offers many advantages. However, multiple loads in the DC PDS may affect the severe instability on the DC bus voltage. Therefore, a voltage bus conditioner (VBC) may use the DC PDS. The VBC is used to mitigate the voltage transient on the bus. In this paper, sliding mode controller (SMC) is designed for the VBC of DC PDS in the EV. The simulation results by PISM simulation package are presented for validating the proposed control technique.

This paper presents a new approach to the AFR (Air-to-Fuel Ratio) control problem, which is based on the wide-band oxygen sensor output. The dedicated nonlinear controller is based on the feedback lineaization technique. It is well known that the feedback linearizing control technique requires an exact model of the plant for the cancellation of plant nonlinearities. A sliding mode control scheme is applied which can effectively compensate the modeling uncertainties. The measurement time delay of an oxygen sensor limits the gain of the feedback controller. Hence, time delay compensation procedure is necessary for the improvement of control performance. The Smith predictor is adopted to compensate the effects of time delay. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controllers can effectively reduce the transient peaks of AFR in spite of fast tip-in and tip-out maneuvers of the throttle.

일반적인 산업현장에서 많이 사용되는 이중탱크 시스템은 동작점 근방에서 선형화하는 고전제어기법을 사용한 것으로서 큰 시간지연과 비선형성으로 인해 정확한 수학적 모델링이 어렵고 모델링을 하더라도 넓은 동작 영역에서 만족스로운 결과를 얻기 어렵다. 따라서, 비교적 모델링에 대한 의존도가 낮은 퍼지, 신경회로망, 유전알고리즘 등의 지능제어 기법들도 제안되고 있다. 그러나 이들 제어기 역시 외란이나 다양한 동작 모드들에 따른 제어기 변수들의 적응성 저하로 인해 안정화 가능 영역이 협소해 지는 것은 물론 시스템의 불안정 현상도 초래한다. 이에 반해, SMC(sliding mode controller)는 변수의 변동, 외란에 둔감한 강점을 갖고 있지만, 시스템의 상태에 따른 슬라이딩 평면 설정의 곤란성과 채터링(chattering)이 존재하는 문제점 이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이중 탱크 시스템의 정밀한 수위 제어를 위하여, GA과 FLC를 사용하여 최적 변수로 설정 할 수 있게 하고, 채터링 저감을 위해 시스템 동특성 변동과 외란 에 강인한 GA-FSMC(genetic algorithm fuzzy sliding mode controller)를 제안하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 종래의 제어기의 제어결과와 비교함으로써 제안하는 GA-FSMC의 우수성을 입증하고자 한다.

The line-of-sight (LOS) stabilization system is a precision electro-mechanical gimbals assembly for rejecting vibration to isolate the load from its environment and point toward the target in a desired direction. This paper describes the design of gimbals system to reject the disturbance and to improve stabilization. To generate movement commands for the actuators in the stabilization system, the control system uses a sensor of angular rotation. The controller is a DSP with transducer and actuator interfaces. Unknown parameters of the gimbals are estimated using the signal compression method. The cross-correlation coefficient between the impulse response from the assumed model and the one from model of the gimbals is used to obtain the better estimation. And SMCPE (sliding mode control with perturbation estimation) is used to control the gimbals. SMCPE provides robustness of the control against the modeling deficiencies and unknown disturbances. In order to compare the performance of SMCPE with the classical SMC, a sample test result is presented.

It is hard to obtain good robust performance and robust stability for uncertain and time-varying system. The robust 2-DOF controller is frequently used to obtain the desired response and the good robustness. Two controllers can be independently designed. Generally, one controller reduces sensitivity to parameter variations, nonlinear effects, and other disturbances. On the other hand, the other controller reduces the error between the desired command and output. In this paper, the various robust perfect MFCs(model-following controllers) combined with TDC(Time Delay Control) are designed, and the imperfect stable MFC combined with TDC and SMC(Sliding Mode Control) is proposed. These controllers are based on the method of designing robust 2-DOF controllers for dynamic system with uncertainty. The performance of the proposed imperfect sable MFC has been evaluated through computer simulations. The simulation results indicate that the proposed controller shows the excellent performance characteristics for an overhead crane with uncertain and time-varying parameters.

A stable TSK -type FLC can be designed by the method of Parallel Distributed Compensation (PDC) [2] but in this case, solving the LMI problem is not a trivial task. To overcome such a difficulty, a Time-Delay based FLC (TDFLC) is proposed. TSK -type TDFLC consists of Time-Delay Control (TDC) and Sliding Mode Control (SMC) schemes, which result in a robust controller based upon an integral sliding surface. Finally, simulation study is conducted for a mass-spring-damper system.

Magnetic levitation systems using the attraction force of electromagnets have many constraints according to the variation of air gap and the nonlinearity of electromagnetic force and inductances. As a result of these constraints, the nonlinear control of a magnetic levitation system has been improved by the latest advanced processors and accurate measurement system which can overcome problems such as many constraints and nonlinearity. This paper concentrates on the modeling of a nonlinear magnetic levitation system and an application of an exponential reaching law based sliding mode controller using the exponential reaching law which is one of the most robust controllers against external unexpected disturbances or parameter fluctuations. Controllability of a magnetic levitation system using the sliding mode control algorithm and robustness against parameter fluctuations have been verified through the experimental results.
