This paper presents a new fuzzy model-based design approach for waypoints-tracking control of nonlinear underwater vehicles (UUVs) on a horizontal plane. The waypoints-tracking control problem is converted into the stabilization one for the error model between the given nonlinear UUV and the waypoints. By using the sector nonlinearity, the error model is modeled in Takagi-Sugeno's form. We then derive stabilization conditions for the error model in the format of linear matrix inequality. A numerical simulation is provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

This paper deals with a robust ${\mathfrak{H}}_{\infty}$ controller design problem for waypoints tracking of large displacement unmanned underwater vehicles (LDUUVs) in Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy form. The LDUUV model uses a rudder to control its horizontal motion. We determine the order of waypoints based on their priorities and consider only surge force. A fuzzy controller in state-feedback form is taken and its design condition of is represented in terms of linear matrix inequalities. A numerical simulation is included to show the effectiveness of the theoretical development.

This paper deals with the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) Technique for the design of helicopter nonlinear waypoint guidance controller. To generate the flight guidance through multiple waypoints, we use the trigonometric spline. The controller design and its validation is based upon a level 2 simulation helicopter model and the designed SDRE controller is applied to the trajectory tracking problems. To validate the designed SDRE controller, the simulation environment of high fidelity helicopter model is developed using three independent computers. This paper focuses on the validation the present SDRE controller through the helicopter waypoint guidance simulation.

Forestry crane work in a forest harvester or forwarder is regarded as one of most hard work requiring a very high level of operation skill. The operator must handle two or more multi-axes joysticks simultaneously to control the multiple manipulators for maneuvering the crane-tip to its intended location. This study has been carried out to develop a crane-tip controller which can intuitively maneuver the crane-tip, resulting in improving the productivity by decreasing the technical difficulty of control as well as reducing the workload. The crane-tip controller consists of a single 2-axis joystick and a control algorithm run on microcontroller. Lab-scale forestry crane was constructed using electric cylinders. The crane-tip control algorithm has the crane-tip follow the waypoints generated on the given path considering the dead band region using LBO (Lateral Boundary Offset). A speed control gain to change the speed of relevant cylinders relatively is applied as well. By the P (Proportional) control within the control interval of 20 msec, the average error of crane-tip control on the predefined straight path turned out to be 14.5 mm in all directions. When the joystick is used the waypoints are generated in real time by the direction signal from the joystick. In this case, the average error of path control was 12.4 mm for straight up, straight forward and straight down movements successively at a certain constant speed setting. In the slant movement of crane-tip by controlling two axes of joystick simultaneously, the movement of crane-tip was controlled in the average error of 15.9 mm when the crane-tip is moved up and down while moving toward forward direction. It concluded that the crane-tip control was possible using the control algorithm developed in this study.

This paper demonstrates the development of a mobile robot for patrol. We fuse differential GPS, angle sensor and odometry data using the framework of extended Kalman filter to localize a mobile robot in outdoor environments. An important feature of road environment is the existence of curbs. So, we also propose an algorithm to find out the position of curbs from laser range finder data using Hough transform. The mobile robot builds the map of the curbs of roads and the map is used fur tracking and localization. The patrol robot system consists of a mobile robot and a control station. The mobile robot sends the image data from a camera to the control station. The remote control station receives and displays the image data. Also, the patrol robot system can be used in two modes, teleoperated or autonomous. In teleoperated mode, the teleoperator commands the mobile robot based on the image data. On the other hand, in autonomous mode, the mobile robot has to autonomously track the predefined waypoints. So, we have designed a path tracking controller to track the path. We have been able to confirm that the proposed algorithms show proper performances in outdoor environment through experiments in the road.

Purpose: Path planning and tracking algorithms applicable to various agricultural operations, such as tillage, planting, and spraying, are needed to generate steering angles for auto-guidance tractors to track a point ahead on the path. An optimal coverage path algorithm can enable a vehicle to effectively travel across a field by following a sequence of parallel paths with fixed spacing. This study proposes a path generation and tracking algorithm for an auto-guided Korean tractor with a tillage implement that generates a path with C-type turns and follows the generated path in a paddy field. A mathematical model was developed to generate a waypoint path for a tractor in a field. This waypoint path generation model was based on minimum tractor turning radius, waypoint intervals and LBOs (Limit of Boundary Offsets). At each location, the steering angle was calculated by comparing the waypoint angle and heading angle of the tractor. A path following program was developed with Labview-CVI to automatically read the waypoints and generate steering angles for the tractor to proceed to the next waypoint. A feasibility test of the developed program for real-time path tracking was performed with a mobile platform traveling on flat ground. The test results showed that the developed algorithm generated the desired path and steering angles with acceptable accuracy.

This paper deals with a waypoint trajectory following problem for the tilt-rotor UAV under development in Korea (TR-KUAV). In this problem, dynamic model inversion based on the linearized model and Sigma-Phi neural network with adaptive weight update are involved to realize the waypoint following algorithm for the vehicle in the helicopter flight mode (nacelle angle=0 deg). This algorithms consists of two main parts: outer-loop system as a command generator and inner-loop system as stabilizing controller. In this waypoint following problem, the position information in the inertial axis is given to the outer-loop system. From this information, Attitude Command/Attitude Hold logic in the longitudinal channel and Rate Command/Attitude Hold logic in the lateral channel are realized in the inner-loop part of the overall structure of the waypoint following algorithm. The nonlinear simulation based on the TR-KUAV is carried out to evaluate the stability and performance of the algorithm. From the numerical simulation results, the algorithm shows very good tracking performance of passing the waypoints given. Especially, it is observed that ACAH/RCAH logic in the inner-loop has the satisfactory performance due to adaptive neural network in spite of the model error coming from the linear model based inversion.

카메라나 레이더에 비해 높은 인지 성능을 제공하는 라이다 센서는 높은 가격으로 의해 ADAS나 자율주행에 적용되기 어려웠으나, 최근 가격이 빠르게 낮아지고 있어 라이다를 활용한 기존 자율주행 기능 개선에 관한 기대가 높아지고 있다. 레벨3 자율주행자동차의 경우, 센서의 결함 또는 한계 등 인지시스템에 위험한 상황이 발생했을 때 운전자에게 수동모드로의 제어권 전환을 요청하며, 만약 이러한 요청에도 운전자가 반응하지 않을 경우 MRM 즉 최소위험기동을 구현하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 배경을 바탕으로 인지 시스템에서 생기는 위험으로 인해 LKS의 정상작동이 힘든 경우에 대한, 라이다 기반의 MRM 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 본 논문의 LKS MRM 기술은 라이다에서 수집된 포인트 클라우드 데이터를 기반으로 객체 군집화를 통해 전방에 있는 차량의 이동 경로를 생성하고, 이를 자차량의 목표 경로점으로 변환하여, 카메라 기반의 LKS가 정상 작동을 할 수 없는 경우 라이다 기반의 경로 추종제어를 통해 최소위험기동을 수행한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 HAZOP 기법을 사용하여 위험원을 식별하였고 이를 바탕으로 검증용 시나리오 3가지를 도출하여, 뵨 연구에서 구축한 시뮬레이션 환경에서 알고리즘 검증을 수행하였다. 그 결과 본 연구에서 제안한 라이다 기반 LKS MRM 알고리즘이 여러 가능한 인지시스템의 위험 상황에 대해 차선이탈을 방지하고 이를 통해 교통사고를 방지하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
