The development of a hybrid reconfigurable machine tool has been introduced. The machine tool consists of a tripod-based parallel kinematic machine (PKM) module with three degrees of freedom (DOF) and a serial linear table with two DOF. The PKM is installed on a gantry system which is capable of reconfiguring its position and orientation. In the design of tripod-based parallel mechanism, a passive link is used to enhance the stiffness and increase the working load. To avoid the buildup of the heat of the extensive actuation, three joints are actuated via the actuators with a constant length. The geometries of the PKM have been optimized for the best and highest accuracy. In this paper, its control system and the prototyping development are focused. An open architecture is applied, the control methodologies are developed and validated, and the corresponding software tools have been implemented for the software reconfiguration of the control system.

In this paper, the dynamics and control of an automated guided vehicle (AGV) is described. The objective is to control the vehicle direction and location with respect to a prescribed trajectory. This is accomplished based on an optimum control strategy using vehicle state variables. A four-wheel vehicle with three degrees of freedom including longitudinal, lateral and yaw motion is considered. The nonlinearity of the tire and steering mechanism is also included. The control system design for circular, straight forward and composite path is presented based on feedback linearization. Some trajectory simulation for discrete curvatures is carried out. The controller was implemented within MATLAB environment. The design was also evaluated using ADAMS full vehicle assembly. The results demonstrated the accuracy of the model and the effectiveness of the developed control system.

High Production Quality

In this paper we present the design and implementation of a parallel kinematics based reconfigurable machine. The machine utilizes a Tripod based module with 3 degrees-of-freedom combined with a linear X-Y stage and gantry system for 5-axis machining. The tripod module uses a unique passive link mechanism with constant length leg actuators. This architecture offers good stiffness and high accuracy. The gantry system itself is reconfigurable, allowing for changing the working characteristics of the machine. The control system is based on open architecture principles. Corresponding to the mechanical reconfiguration, the control system also needs to be reconfigured to reflect the actual state of the machine. Mechanical reconfiguration also brings with it the need to verify the accuracy of the new configuration. Also discussed in the paper is the calibration methodology that ensures high production quality in each configured mode of the machine.

Ship transportation plays an increasingly important role in and accounts for a large proportion of cargo transport. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the quality of the trajectory control system of the ship for improving the transport efficiency and ensuring maritime safety. This paper deals with the advanced control system for the three-degrees-of-freedom model of the underactuated ship in the condition of uncertain disturbance. Based on the three-degrees-of-freedom model of the underactuated ship, the authors built a bilinear model of the ship by linearizing each nonlinear model section. Then, the authors used the state estimator to compensate for uncertain components and random disturbances in the model. Finally, the authors built the output-feedback predictive controller based on the channel-separation principle combined with direct observation of the continuous model for controlling the motion of the underactuated ship in the case of uncertain disturbance and the bound control signals. The result is that the movement quality of the underactuated ship is very good in the context of uncertain disturbance and bound control signals.

Programs have been written for a hybrid computer to simulate in real time the dynamic behavior of the engines, airframe, and rotor systems of the Sea King and Lynx helicopters; their purpose is to aid the study of performance and control of helicopter power plants. Since the engines are directly coupled to the lift-producing surface (the rotor), it is important to take proper account of the interactions between the power plant and the rest of the aircraft; however, for this type of work, it is reasonable to limit simulated aircraft maneuvers to three degrees of freedom in a single vertical plane. The method of simulating the major features of the helicopter are discussed, along with their implementation on the hybrid computer. The paper goes on to describe the successful validation of the two models by comparison with specially obtained flight data on a range of rapid maneuvers involving large changes in power demands. Finally, a description is given of an exercise on the Sea King simulation to investigate the effect of an engine or control system failure at a critical flight condition.
