Bang-bang control law provides the optimal solution for a minimum-time control problem, but ignores the intermediate path except for the initial and final points. In this paper, a near minimum-time suboptimal fuzzy logic controller is introduced that can control the intermediate path. A dynamic model for a system is established using the average dynamics method of linearization. System model is continuously updated over the control time periods. This makes it suitable for high speed or variable payload applications. Bang-bang control theory is modified and used to derive the preliminary control law. A fuzzy logic algorithm is then applied to adjust and find the best solution. The solution will provide the suboptimal minimum-time control law which can avoid obstacles in the workspace.

A new design of the sliding mode control is proposed for the uncertain linear time-varying second order system. The proposed control drives system states to the target point in the minimum time with specified ranges of parametric uncertainties and disturbances. One of the advantages of the proposed control scheme is that the control inputs do not go beyond saturation limits of the actuators. The other advantage is that the minimum arrival time and the acceleration of the second order actuators system can be estimated with given parametric bounds and can be expressed in the closed from; conversely, the designer can select actuators based on the condition of the minimum arrival time to the target point. The superior performance of the proposed control scheme to other sliding mode controllers is validated by computer simulations.

A robust minimum-time control (RMTC) strategy is addressed and it is extended to the dual-stage servo design. Rather than conventional switching type sub-optimal controls, it is a reference following control approach where the predetermined minimum-time trajectory (MTT) is tracked by the perturbation compensator based feedback controller. First, the minimum-time trajectory for a mass-damper system is derived. Then, the perturbation compensator to achieve robust tracking performance in spite of model uncertainty and external disturbance is suggested. The RMTC is also applied to the dual-stage positioner which consists of coarse actuator and fine one. To best utilize the actuation redundancy of the dual-stage mechanism, a null-motion controller to actively regulate the relative motion between the two stages is formulated. The performance of RMTC is validated through simulation and experiment.

This paper focuses on planning strategies for object interception by the robotic manipulator on a conveyor system in minimum time. The goal is that the robot is able to intercept object with minimum time on a conveyor line that moves at a given speed. The search algorithm for minimum time solution is given in detail for all possible cases for initial locations of robot. Simulations results show the validity of the given algorithm.

Several optimum control algorithms have been proposed to minimize the robot cycle time by velocity scheduling. Most of these algorithms assume that the dynamic and kinematic characteristics of a manipulator are fixed. This paper presents the study of a minimum-time optimum control for robotic manipulators considering parameter changes. A complete set of solutions for parameter identification of the robot dynamics has been developed. The minimum-time control algorithm has been revised to be updated using estimated parameters from measurements.

In this paper, a new current controller with fast transient response is Proposed. The basic concept is to find the optimal control voltage for tracking the reference current with minimum time under the voltage limit constraint. The generalized solution of the minimum time current control in the systems are presented in this paper. With the generalized solution, the minimum time current controller can be easily applied to all the 3-phase balanced system. Through the simulation and the experiment, it is observed that the proposed controller has much less transient time than the conventional synchronous PI regulator.

Analog PID controllers have been designed to make good use of position control in industries. Recently, the importance of digital position control is emphasized for the requirements of controller which are not only to control the objects but to include various aspects such as easiness of design and implementation, simple exchange of control program and convenient communications of data between various controllers and a host computer. This study proposes a combined control method which is mixed the vaiable structure control (VSC) with the PI control for minimum time position control of DC servo motor by microcomputer. The results of test by this method show offset-free and minimum time optimal position control which is not affected by the disturbance and the system parameter variations. The validity of the proposed method comparing with the conventional PID control is proved by the response experiments.

The DC Servo Motor has been used as an actuator in automatic control fields because of the good response and the control easiness nevertheless it has some disadvantage such as spark at the brush. Recently, along with the fast development of semiconductor industries, the digital control scheme is increasing in comparison with analog control because of the strength against noise and the accuracy. In this paper, authors proposed a combined control algorithm, which is mixed Modified Minimum Time Position Control(MMTPC) and PI control algorithm. for minimum time position control of DC Servo Motor by the one-chip microcontroller. The proposed control algorithm showed the fast response and offset-free. The validity of the proposed method comparing with the VSS control is proved by the response experiments.

A bead is intended to reach a specified target point in the minimum-time when it travels along a certain curve on a vertical plane with the gravity. This is called the brachistochrone problem. Its minimum-time control input may be found using the calculus of variation. However, the accuracy of its minimum-time control input is not high since the solution of the control input is based on a table form of inverse relations for some complicated nonlinear equations. To enhance the accuracy, this paper employs the neural network to represent the inverse relation of the complicated nonlinear equations. The accurate minimum-time control is possible with the interpolation property of the neural network. For various final target points, we have found that the proposed method is superior to the conventional ones through the computer simulations.

Minimum-time attitude maneuvers of three-axis stabilized spacecraft are presented to study the feasibility of using three magnetic torquers perform large angle maneuvers. Previous applications of magnetic torquers have been limited to spin-stabilized satellites or supplemental actuators of three axis stabilized satellites because of the capability of magnetic torquers to produce torques about a specific axes. The minimum-time attitude maneuver problem is solved by applying a parameter optimization method for orbital cases to verify that the magnetic torque system can perform as required. Direct collocation and a nonlinear programming method with a constraining method by Simpson's rule are used to convert the minimum-time maneuver problems into parameter optimization problems. An appropriate number of nodes is presented to find a bang-bang type solution to the minimum-time problem. Some modifications in the boundary conditions of final attitude are made to solve the problem more robustly and efficiently. The numerical studies illustrate that the presented method can provide a capable and robust attitude reorientation by using only magnetic torquers. However, the required maneuver times are relatively longer than when thrusters or wheels are used. Performance of the system in the presence of errors in the magnetometer as well as the geomagnetic field model still good.
