A closed-loop system modeling of an active/semiactive suspension system has been accomplished through an artificial neural network. A 7DOF full model as a system's equation of motion has been derived and an output feedback linear quadratic regulator has been designed for control purpose. A training set of a sample data has been obtained through a computer simulation. A 7DOF full model with LQR controller simulated under several road conditions such as sinusoidal bumps and rectangular bumps. A general multilayer perceptron neural network is used for dynamic modeling and target outputs are fedback to the a layer. A backpropagation method is used as a training algorithm. Model validation of new dataset have been shown through computer simulations.

This paper prsents an end-point control of a one-link flexible arm with a payload by using closed loop control. Tip position of arm is shifted by the base motion according to DC servomotor, whivh is driven by a feedback signal composed of the tip displacement and the estimated tip velocity. The shifting problem of the arm from initial position to desired position is considered by the variation of the displacement gain Gd and velocity agin Gv. Theoretical results are obtained by applying the method of the Laplace transform to the governing equations and the method of numerical inversion. This system is composed of a flexible arm with payload, DC servomotor, and a ballscrew mechanism. The flexible arm is mounted on a mobile stage driven by a servomotor and ballscrew. In controlling the tip displacement of flexible arm, the fundamental bode vibration is supressed more rapidly with an increase of the velocity feedback gain Gv and the feedback displacemenmt gain Gd. Theretical responses are approximately in good agreement with those obtained experimentally.

Recently the styrofoam has been used fur material of press die pattern. The object of this research is to develope an automated laser system for manufacture of press die pattern which depends chiefly on handwork during its process. After converting 3-D CAD model into cross-sectional shape information, the unnecessary part of the section is vapored away by laser. The depth and width of cut are mainly under the control of laser power and beam feed rate. The optimum manufacturing conditions are obtained by preliminary experiments. It is necessary fur precise styrofoam pattern manufacturing to develope laser system which has sufficient motion accuracy and program or beam path generation and automatic control of this system.

A robot manipulator is usually operated in two modes: free and constrained motion modes, depending on whether the robot is in contact with an environment or not. At the moment of contact, an impact occurs and can exert harmful effects to the robot or the object. In case of teleoperation, since a user may give an inadequately excessive velocity command to the slave due to insufficient visual information, the robot nay collide the object with an excessive speed and it possibly deteriorates the robot's performance causing vibrations and at worst, shortens its lifetime by its fracture. In this article, a new algorithm is proposed by introducing a command signal modification method on the basis of impedance control and validity of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by performing simulations and experiments.

Speed, accuracy and smoothness are the important properties of pan-tilt camera. In the case of a high ratio zoom lens system, low vibration characteristic is a crucial point in driving pan-tilt mechanism. In this paper, a novel micro-stepping controller with a function of reducing vibration was designed using field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) technology for high zoom ratio pan-tilt camera. The proposed variable reference current (VRC) control scheme reduces vibration decently and optimizing coil current in order to prevent the step motor from occurring missing steps. By employing VRC control scheme, the vibration in low speed could be significantly minimized. The proposed controller can also make very high speed of 378kpps micro-step driving, and increase maximum acceleration in motion profiles.

A Simulation model is developed to minimize the path tracking errors when the non-circular cutting is done by a VCM(voice coil motor) driven tool. The relationship between PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) duty ratio and velocity of voice coil motor is theoretically derived from combining the circuit equation for the coils and the motion equation for the magnetic rod of the voice coil motor. The path tracking errors are showed differently according to the rotational speed, the number of segments and the control period in digital control. Given a required accuracy in the non-circular cutting, the optimal values for those parameters are determined based on the developed simulation model.

A parallel manipulator has high stiffness and all the joint errors on the device are not accumulated at the end -effector unlike a serial manipulator. These are the reasons why the parallel manipulator has been widely used in many fields of industry. In the parallel manipulator, it is very important to predict the exact pose of the end-effector when we want to control the end-effector motion. Installation errors have to be determined in order to predict and control the actual position and pose of the end-effector. This paper presents an algorithm to find the whole 36 joint error components with joint clearance errors and measurement errors considered, when a link length measurement sensor is used and data more than 36 times are acquired for 36 different configurations. A simulation test using this algorithm is performed with a Matlab program which uses the Levenberg-Marquardt method that is known to be efficient for non-linear optimization.

We describe how to control a piezoelectric actuator using the open-loop method for point-to-point positioning. Since piezoelectric actuators have nonlinear characteristics due to hysteresis and creep between the input voltage and the resulting displacement, a special method is required to eliminate this nonlinearity for an open-loop drive. We have introduced open-loop driving methods for piezoelectric actuators in the past, which required a large input voltage and an initializing motion sequence to reset the state of the actuator before each movement. In this paper, we propose a new driving method that uses the initializing state. This method also utilizes the overshoot from both the upward and downward stepwise drives. Applying this method., we obtained precise point-to-point positioning without the influence of hysteresis and creep.

This paper proposes a fuzzy algorithm for determining navigation path of an autonomous mobile robot in uncertain environment. The proposed fuzzy algorithm includes three type (MIN-TIME, ECONOMY, SAFETY) motion modes for the robot to get the ability to meet the ambiguous situation which the robot encounters. Ech ode is applied to both static and dynamic environmental situation. This paper concludes by showing the efficiency of the proposed method through some computer simulation results.

This paper develops a 7 DOF vehicle model to study the effects of the active suspension on ride. The model is used to derive a control law for the active suspension using a full state linear optimal control technique. A wheelbase preview type active suspension is also considered in the control law derivation. The time delay between wheelbases is approximated using Pade approximation technique. The ride model is extended to a 14 DOF handling model. The 14 DOF handling model includes lateral, longitudinal, yaw and four wheel spin motions in addition to the 7 DOF ride model. A control law which is derived considering only ride related parameters is used to study the effects of the active suspension on a vehicle handling. J-turn maneuver simulation results show that the active suspension has a slower response in lateral acceleration and yaw rate, a bigger steady state lateral acceleration and an oversteer tendency. Lane changing maneuver simulation results show that the active suspension has a little bigger lateral acceleration but a much smaller roll angle and roll motion. Braking maneuver simulation results show that the active suspension has a much smaller pitch angle and pitch motion.
