This paper proposes the implementation and control scheme of a robot balanced on a ball. Unlike a twowheeled inverted pendulum, such as the Segway Human Transporter, an inverted pendulum using a ball moves in any direction without changing orientation, enabling isotropic movement and stabilization. The robot on the ball can be used in place of the twowheeled robots. Our robot has three omnidirectional wheels with stepping motors that drive the ball and two sets of rate gyroscopes and accelerometers as attitude sensors. It can keep station, traverse in any direction, and turn around its vertical axis. Inverted pendulum control is applied to two axes to maintain attitude. Ball acceleration is used as control input of the system, unlike most of inverted pendulums which use torque or force as input. This acceleration input makes the robot robust against change of inertia parameters, as confirmed by Nyquist diagrams. The mechanism of the robot, the control method, and the experimental results are described in this paper.

Conventional time domain passivity control inevitably embodies division. Zero division can occur under a tiny force or velocity, which may be inevitable, and will be the cause of control crash. To avoid the zero division problem and control crash, we propose a switching dissipation controller for guaranteed stability. The parametric design of the proposed approach is discussed. The switching time domain passivity control is then applied to teleoperation and safe operation is achieved. Simulation and experimental results are demonstrated to validate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

In this paper we first derive a dynamical model for the control of a rotary crane, which makes three kinds of motion (rotation, load hoisting, and boom hoisting) simultaneously. The goal is to transfer a load to a desired place in such a way that at the end of transfer the swing of the load decays as quickly as possible. We first apply an open-loop control input to the system such that the state of the system can be transferred to a neighborhood of the equilibrium state. Then we apply a feedback control signal so that the state of the system approaches the equilibrium state as quickly as possible. The results of computer simulation prove that the open-loop plus feedback control scheme works well.

Missile control system is not block strict feedback system which is suitable to use backstepping method. So in this paper, a backstepping control method is proposed to design a missile longitudinal autopilot and is proved to be asymptotically stable by Lyapunov stability theory. The simulation results show that the designed system can still track commands quickly and accurately and is robust with aerodynamic perturbation and control input saturation.

The Mathematical Model

AbstractA single inverted pendulum on a cart (SIPC) is designed and modeled physically using SolidWorks. The model is then exported to the Simulink environment to form a Simscape model for simulation and test purposes. This type of modeling uses a physical grid tactic to model mechanical structures. It requires connection of the physical elements with physical signal converter to define the implicit system dynamics to be modeled. The integration between the SolidWorks and Simscape eliminates the need of deriving the mathematical model and provides a platform for the rapid controller design for the system. State feedback control scheme is proposed, designed, and tuned aiming to maintain the pendulum in the upright place while tracking the desired cart position. Several simulation cases are studied to prove the controller abilities. In order to examine the controller robustness, disturbance rejection and noise attenuation capabilities are also discovered.

The proposed paper presents the design and development of the combined guidance and control strategies for the autonomous navigation of an unmanned vessel characterized by azimuth-based thrust architecture. Autonomous Marine Vehicles (AMVs) are consolidates technological tools commonly employed for different tasks such as exploration, sampling and intervention. With the final aim of autonomous shipping, the capabilities of AMVs have to be migrated and adapted towards the reliable and safe control of commercial-like unmanned vessel, that are taking place thanks to a number of technological research projects. The employment of new concept hulls and thrust configurations, as for instance Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) combined with Azimuthal propulsion (common propeller-based thruster with the capability of 360◦ rotation around the vertical axis), requires robust guidance techniques to provide precise and reliable motion control during navigation. The paper proposes a dual-loop guidance and control scheme able to provide advanced navigation capabilities. In particular, the inner control loop, devoted to the actuation of the azimuthal thrusters, allows the tracking of reference course angle (namely the autopilot). Such a control loop is characterized by a modified PID regulation scheme, where a novel adaptive derivative component is inserted in order to improve the convergence curve towards the required course reference. The outer guidance loop, based on Lyapunov/virtual-target approach, allows the vessel to track generic desired paths, thus enhancing the autonomous navigation capabilities also in constrained environments. The paper will provide a deep design and analysis approach for the developed techniques, as well as simulation results of the combined guidance and control scheme, proving the reliability of the proposed approach in different operative conditions. Experimental results will be provided, depending on the availability of the actual autonomous vessel (currently under final development/test phases and related to the specific project activities).

This paper focuses on the integrated guidance and control (IGC) method applied in the interception of maneuvering near space hypersonic vehicles using the homogeneous high order sliding mode (HOSM) approach. The IGC model is derived by combining the target-missile relative motion and dynamic equations. Then, a fourth-order sliding mode controller is implemented in the augmented IGC model. To estimate the high order derivatives of the sliding manifold which is required in the HOSM method, an Arbitrary Order Robust Exact Differentiator is presented. At last, the idea of virtual control is introduced to alleviate the chattering of the control input without using any saturation functions which may lead to a loss of the robustness. And the stability of the closed-loop system with presented fourth-order homogeneous HOSM controller is also proved theoretically. Finally, simulation results are provided and analyzed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method in three typical engagement scenarios.

In this study, a motion control problem for the vessels towed by tugboats or towing ships on the sea is considered. The towed vessels including barge ships are need to have assistance of tugboats. Combining two vessels, some work purposes in the sea or harbor area can be completed. In this study, the authors give newly developed mathematical model and control system strategy. Especially, the system model fully presenting the physical characteristics of two vessels are derived. For controlling the system effectively, it is considered that the towed vessel has no power propulsion system but the rudder is activated to improve the maneuverability. Considering the strong nonlinearities included in the vessel dynamics, the modelled system is presented by nonlinear system without linearization of nonlinear parameters. Thus, the control system for the towed vessel is designed based on the nonlinear control scheme. Exactly, the back-stepping control method is applied to its motion control. Also, the PID control method is applied for comparing with the proposed control strategy.

Novel Design

We describe a novel design for a compliant arm that can be mounted on a mobile robot. Because the arm is compliant, a mobile robot can manipulate or interact with objects that are not precisely positioned in the environment. The main features of the arm are the in-parallel architecture and a novel control scheme that allows us to easily control the Cartesian stiffness or impedance in the plane. Springs are added in series to the limbs of the parallel manipulator. We analyze one limb and the manipulator to determine its performance when either controlling the force applied to an object or controlling its stiffness. Further, we present experimental results that show the performance of the compliant arm.

There are different approaches to active noise control (ANC). The time domain Filtered-X LMS adaptive control scheme is currently used in most applications. The purpose of this paper is to describe an experiment consisting of a Y-shaped duct with two loudspeakers attached to the two branches of the Y duct. One of the loudspeakers acts as the perturbation source and the other acts as the control source. Tonal noise control is investigated, and control implementation issues such as number of filter weights, value of step-size parameter, and sampling frequency are discussed. The reference signal is taken from the signal sent to the perturbation loudspeaker and the error signal is taken from a microphone that can be placed anywhere along the stem of the Y-shaped duct. Simulations and experimental results are presented. The setup is simple and may be easily implemented for leaching purposes.
