In this paper, we consider the design of a state feedback $H_{\infty}$ controller for linear systems with saturating actuators. We consider a general saturating actuator and employ the multiplicative decomposition to deal with it effectively. Based on Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) techniques, we present a condition on designing a controller that guarantees the $L_2$ gain, from the noise to the output, is not greater than a given value. A controller is obtained by checking the feasibility of three LMI's, and this can be easily done by well-known control package. Finally, we show the usefulness of our result by a numerical example.

This paper presents a method of hierachical optimal control for time invariant large scale systems via Single Term Walsh Series. It is well known that the optimal control of a large scale system with quadratic performance criteria often involves the determination of time varying feedback gain matrix by solving the matrix Riccati differential equation, which is usually quite difficult. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, this paper is introduced to Single Term Walsh Series. The advantages of proposed method are simple and attractive for the control of large scale system in computation.

In this note, we propose a method for designing a robot controller which can suppress the effects of both the model uncertainty and noisy velocity measurements. The controller is an output feedback compensator of which the constant gains are given in terms of a Riccati equation and a Lyapunov equation. The controller guarantees not only uniform boundedness but uniform ultimate boundedness. The stability result is local but the region can be arbitrarily enlarged at the expense of large control gain. The control law needs neither the exact knowledge of the physical robot parameters nor clean velocity measurements.

This paper presents an individual cylinder spark advance control strategy based upon the location of peak pressure (LPP) in spark ignition engines using artificial neural networks. The LPP is estimated using a feedforward multi-layer perceptron network (MLPN), which needs only five samples of output voltage from the cylinder pressure sensor. The cyclic variation of LPP restricts the gain of the feedback controller, and results in poor regulation performance during the transient operation of the engine. The transient performance of the spark advance controller is improved by adding a feedforward controller which reflects the abrupt changes of the engine operating conditions such as engine speed and manifold absolute pressure (MAP)...

In teleoperation field robotic system such as hydraulically actuated robotic excavator, the maneuverability and convenience is the most important part in the operation of robotic excavator. Particularly the force information is important in dealing with digging and leveling operation in the teleoperated excavator. Excavators are also subject to a wide variation of soil-tool interaction forces. This paper presents a new force reflecting joystick in a velocity-force type bilateral teleoperation system. The master system is electrical joystick and the slave system is hydraulically actuated cylinder with linear position sensor. Particularly Pneumatic motor is used newly in the master joystick for force reflection and the information of the pressure of salve cylinder is measured and utilized as the force feedback signal. Also force-reflection gain greatly affects the ...

Althouah there have been many attempts to control weld quality in resistance spot welding processes, design method for an on-line feedback controller based upon process dynamics has not been suggested. This is due to the fact that the resistance spot welding is a highly complicated process, whice involves the interaction of electrical, thermal, mechanical and metallurgical phenomena. In this paper, an optimal control method based on FDM model with shunt effect is presented, which can regulate the nugget size, at the same time minimizing the control heat input. Optimal PI gain of the controller were determined by numerical optimization. Simulation results show that, as a result of the proposed optimal control, the weld nugget can be made to approach a desired nugget size with less control heat input than that required for the conventional spot welding process in the face of the shunt effect.

In this paper, a Gm-C filter for low voltage and low power applications using a fully-differential transconductor is presented. The designed transconductor using the series composite transistors and the low voltage composite transistors has wide input range at low supply voltage. A negative resistor load (NRL) technology for high DC gain of the transconductor is employed with a common mode feedback (CMFB). As a design example, the third-order Elliptic lowpass filter is designed. The designed filter is simulated and examined by HSPICE using 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ CMOS n-well parameters. The simulation results show 105MHz cutoff frequency and 2.4㎽ power dissipation with a 2.5V supply voltage.

This paper considers the linear-quadratic optimal regulator problem for nonstandard singularly perturbed systems making use of the recursive technique. We first derive a generalized Riccati differential equation by the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In order to obtain the feedback gain, we must solve the generalized algebraic Riccati equation. Using the recursive technique, we show that the solution of the generalized algebraic Riccati equation converges with the rate of convergence of O(.epsilon.). The existence of a bounded solution of error term can be proved by the implicit function theorem. It is enough to show that the corresponding Jacobian matrix is nonsingular at .epsilon. = 0. As a result, the solution of optimal regulator problem for nonstandard singularly perturbed systems can be obtained with an accuracy of O(.epsilon.$^{k}$ ). The proposed technique represents a significant improvement since the existing method for the standard singularly perturbed systems can not be applied to the nonstandard singularly perturbed systems.

This paper presents the design and evaluation of a tiltrotor attitude controller. The implemented response type of the command augumentation system is Attitude Command Attitude Hold. The controller architecture can alleviate the need for extensive gain scheduling and thus has the potential to reduce development time. The control algorithm is constructed using the feedback linearization technique. And an on-line adaptive architecture that employs a neural network compensating the model inversion error caused by the deficiency of full knowledge tiltrotor aircraft dynamics is applied to augment the attitude control system. The use of Lyapunov stability analysis guarantees boundedness of the tracking error and network parameters. The performance of the controller is evaluated against ADS-33E criteria, using the nonlinear tiltrotor simulation code for Bell TR301 developed by KARI. (Korea Aerospace Research Institute)

This paper proposed a predictive tracking controller for the continuous-time systems by using the receding horizon concept in the optimal tracking control. This controller is the continuous-time version of the previous RHTC (Receding Horizon Tracking Control) for the discrete-time state space models. The problems in implementing the feedforward part of this controller is discussed and a approximate method of implementing this controller is presented. This approximate method utilizes the information of the command signals on the receding horizon and has simple constant feedback and feedforward gain. To perform the offset free control, the integral action is included in the continuous time RHTC. By simulation it is shown that the proposed method gives better performance than the conventional steady state tracking control.
