Recently, more researchers have focused on nursing-care assistant robot and placed their hope on it to solve the shortage problem of the caregivers in hospital or nursing home. In this paper, a nonprehensile two-cooperative-arm robot is considered to realize holding motion to keep a two-rigid-link object (regarded as a care-receiver) stable on the robot arms. By applying Newton-Euler equations of motion, dynamic model of the object is obtained. In this model, for describing interaction behavior between object and robot arms in the normal direction, a viscoelastic model is employed to represent the normal forces. Considering existence of friction between object and robot arms, LuGre dynamic model is applied to describe the friction. Based on the obtained model, an optimal regulator is designed to control the holding motion of two-cooperative-arm robot. In order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, simulation results are shown.

Abstract A small piezoelectric inchworm actuator has been designed for use with a monolithic compliant end-effector in minimally invasive surgery procedures. A dynamic model of the inchworm actuator has been developed using SIMULINK. Utilizing the equations of motion for the inchworm actuator, the dynamic characteristics of the piezoelectric stack material, and the known compliance of the gripper, a force measurement model has been developed which extracts resisting force information from the piezoelectric signal. The focus of this paper is on the development of the dynamic model and the results of a simulation study that will be used to develop optimal driving signals for the inchworm actuator. Simulation results include the predicted displacement capabilities and settling time of the inchworm actuator over a range of driving frequencies.

Since the limited space and complicated environment, we can't solve this problem by traditional path planning method which taking the aircraft as a particle. Aim at this problem, we introduce the pseudospectral method from the field of optimal control, and indicate the feasibility and advantage based on theory discussion. To simulate the actual path planning on flight deck, we build a carrier deck space environment, establish the collision detecting mechanism based on polar coordinates transforming. Finally an aircraft dynamic model and a simplified obstacle model are designed, thus the path planning constraint equation is given. The veracity and convergence of this method is verified by experiment simulation results.

In this paper we follow two approaches in optimal nonlinear control of a snake-like robot. After deriving the dynamic equations of motion using Gibbs-Appell method, reducing these equations, and some assumptions, feedbacklinearization method was used to linearize the nonlinear system. The obtained controller is used in simulations to control robot to track a desired line, with minimum required torques. Two goals are desired. First the robot’s head is expected to track a distinct line with a given speed. And next, tracking the serpenoid curve is desired. The simulation results prove the controller efficiency. The robustness of the designed controller is shown by comparing the torques with the required torques using a PD controller. Additionally, although we had model mismatches and unmodeled dynamics in controller part, we achieved the desired goals.

On the basis of a full-appendage DARPA SUBOFF model (DTRC model 5470), a scale (λ = 0.535) semi-autonomous submarine free-running model (SFRM) was designed for testing its manoeuvrability and stability in the constrained water. Prior to the experimental tests of the SFRM, a six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) manoeuvre model with an autopilot system was developed by using logic operations in MATLAB. The SFRM’s attitude and its trim polygon were presented by coping with the changes in mass and trimming moment. By adopting a series of manoeuvring tests in empty tanks, the performances of the SFRM were introduced in cases of three sailing speeds. In addition, the PD controller was established by considering the simulation results of these manoeuvring tests. The optimal control gains with respect to each manoeuvring test can be calculated by using the PID tuner in MATLAB. Two sets of control gains derived from the optimal characteristics parameters were compared in order to decide on the most appropriate PD controller with the line-of-sight (LOS) guidance algorithm for the SFRM in the autopilot simulation. Eventually, the simulated trajectories and course angles of the SFRM would be illustrated in the post-processor based on the Cinema 4D modelling.

This paper presented a new method based on the Fuzzy self - adaptive PID for BLDCM. This method overcomes some defects of the traditional PID control. Such as lower control precision and worse anti - jamming performance. It dynamic model of BLDCM was built, and then design method for TS fuzzy PID model is given, At last, it compared simulation results of PID control method with TS Fuzzy PID control method. The results show that the TS Fuzzy PID control method has more excellent dynamic antistatic performances, as well as anti-jamming performance. The experiment shows that TS fuzzy PID control has the stronger adaptability robustness and transplant.

A method is developed which allows the digital simulation of the unsteady motion of a single ball constrained only by two moving bearing races. Any desired motion of the races can be simulated. Normal forces acting on the ball are calculated by Hertzian contact deformation theory. If there is slippage between ball and races, Coulomb friction is assumed to occur. Solutions to the differential equations of motion were obtained on a computer with the digital simulation language MIMIC. The phenomenon of ball control as well as the behavior of the ball as it reached a controlled state from rest were observed. This analysis can produce more realistic results than methods that assume that the ball is controlled at all times, especially when the races are radially or angularly displaced with respect to each other.

This paper presents the flight dynamics simulation and analysis of a tilt-rotor vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft on transition phase, that is conversion from vertical or hover to horizontal or level flight and vice versa. The model of the aircraft is derived from simplified equations of motion comprising the forces and moments working on the aircraft in the airplane's longitudinal plane of motion. This study focuses on the problem of the airplane's dynamic response during conversion phase, which gives an understanding about the flight characteristics of the vehicle. The understanding about the flight dynamics characteristics is important for the control system design phase. Some simulation results are given to provide better visualization about the behaviour of the tilt-rotor. The simulation results show that both transition phases are quite stable, although an improved stability can give better manoeuver and attitude handling. Improvement on the simulation model is also required to provide more accurate and realistic dynamic response of the vehicle.

Taking the full-vehicle eight-freedom dynamic model of a type of bus as the simulation object , a new optimal control method is introduced. This method is based on the genetic algorithm, and the full-vehicle optimal control model is built in the MatLab. The weight matrix of the optimal control is optimized through the genetic algorithm; then the outcome is compared with the artificially-set optimal control simulation, which shows that the genetic-algorithm based optimal control presents better performance, thereby creating a smoother ride and improving the steering stability of the vehicle.
