This paper presents to study the path tracking method of AGV(autonomous guided vehicle) which has a laser guidance system. An existing automatic guided vehicles(AGVs) which were able to drive on wired line only had a automatic guidance system. However, the automatic guidance systems that those used had the high cost of installation and maintenance, and the difficulty of system change according to variation of working environment. To solve such problems, we make the laser guidance system which is consisted of a laser navigation and gyro, encoder. That is robust against noise, and flexible according to working environment through sensor fusion. The laser guidance system can do a perfect autonomous driving. However, the commercialization of perfect autonomous driving system is difficult, because the perfect autonomous driving system must recognize the whole environment of working space. Hence, this paper studied the path tracking of AGV using laser guidance system without wired line. The path tracking method is consisted of virtual path generation method and driving control method. To experiment, we use the fork-type AGV which is made by ourselves, and do a path tracking experiments repeatedly on same experimental environment. In result, we verified that proposed system is efficient and stable for actual fork-type AGV.

This paper proposes a new finite control set-model predictive control (FCS-MPC) method for induction motors. In the method, the reference state that satisfies the given torque and rotor flux requirements is derived. Cost indices for the FCS-MPC are defined using the state tracking error, and a linear matrix inequality is formulated to obtain a proper weighting matrix for the state tracking error. The on-line procedure of the proposed FCS-MPC comprises of two steps: select the output voltage vector of the two level inverter minimizing the cost index and compute the optimal modulation factor of the minimizing output voltage vector in order to reduce the state tracking error and torque ripple. The steady state tracking error is removed by using an integrator to adjust the reference state. The simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the proposed FCS-MPC shows good torque, rotor flux control performances at different rotating speeds.

The purpose of this study is to design the adaptive speed control system of a marine diesel engine by combining the Model Matching Method and the Nominal Model Tracking Method. The authors proposed already a new method to determine efficiently the PID control Parameters by the Model Matching Method. typically taking a marine diesel engine as a non-oscillatory second-order system. But. actually it is very difficult to find out the exact model of a diesel engine. Therefore, when diesel engine model and actual diesel engine are unmatched as an another approach to promote the speed control characteristics of a marine diesel engine, this paper Proposes a Model Reference Adaptive Speed Control system of a diesel engine, in which PID control system for the model of a diesel engine is adopted as the nominal model and Fuzzy controller and derivative operator are adopted as the adaptive controller.

Photovoltaic generation systems need MPPT (Maximum Power Point Tracking) control because the output power depends on the operating voltage and current. Therefore, many researchers propose various types of MPPT control methods. A new MPPT control scheme is proposed in this paper in order to realize higher efficiency with simple calculation. The line search algorithm with fibonacci sequence which is one of the optimizing method is employed for the MPPT. The line search method is modified for real-time operation. The method is verified by simulations and experiments. It is concluded that the scheme can respond fast variation of irradiance.

In this paper, we propose an output feedback tracking control method for the wheeled mobile robots with kinematic disturbances. The kinematic disturbances should be compensated to avoid the performance degradation. Also, the unavailable velocity of the mobile robot should be estimated. These should be estimated together by designing the nonlinear observer. Based on these estimates, the output feedback controller can be designed. The stability of the mobile robot control systems using the proposed method is rigorously analyzed and the simulation results are also provided to validate the proposed method.

In this paper, we propose a method of designing the sampled-data tracking controller for nonlinear systems expressed by the Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy model. A sufficient condition that asymptotically stabilizes the state error between the linear reference model and the T-S fuzzy model is derived in terms of linear matrix inequalities. To this end, error dynamics are constructed, and the exact discretization method and the Lyapunov stability theory are employed in this paper. Finally, we validate the proposed method through the simulation example.

In this paper, we propose a modified back-stepping control method in view of the dynamic model of mobile manipulator has the nonholonomic constraints, these constraints should be considered to design a tracking controller for the mobile manipulator. The conventional back-stepping controller includes the dynamics and kinematics of the mobile robot systems. and the modified adaptive back0stepping method is applied to constructing the controller. The proposed controller can realize the tracking trajectory of the reference path. The efficiency and robustness of this control method is demonstrated by the simulation.

In this paper, a tracking control technique of Takagi-Sugeno(TS) fuzzy systems with parametric uncertainties is developed. The uncertain TS fuzzy system is represented as an uncertain multiple linear system. The tracking problem of TS fuzzy system is converted into the regulation problem of a multiple linear system. A sufficient condition for robust tracking is obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities(LMI). A Design example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In the distributed control systems where the control components, controllers and sensors are distributed on a communications network, there exist network time delays on communication lines between the system components. This paper deals with the ramp tracking controller design issue for such systems. Time delay terms are converted into the rational terms using Pade approximation method and the system is augmented with two integrators for ramp tracking. For this system, $\mu$-controller design method, which enables to meet not only performance requirements but robust stabilities simultaneously, is employed.
