In deterministic design of feedback controllers for uncertain dynamic systems, the upper bound of the uncertainty is very important to guarantee the stability of the closed loop system. In this paper, we assume that the upper bound of the uncertainty is formulated using a Fredholm integral equation of the first kind, that is, an integral of the product of a predefined kernel with an unknown influence function. We propose an adaptation law that is capable of estimating this upper bound. Using this adaptive upper bound, we design an adaptive variable structure control (AVSC), which guarantees asymptotic stability/ultimate boundedness of uncertain dynamic systems. The illustrative example shows the proposed AVSC is effective for uncertain dynamic systems.

In this paper, we propose a new manipulator control scheme based on the CMAG neural network. The proposed control consists of two components. The feedforward component is an output of trained CMAC neural network and the feedback component is a modified sliding mode control. The CMAC accepts the position, velocity and acceleration of manipulator as input and outputs two values for the controller : One is the nominal torque used for feedforward compensation(M1 network) and the other is the inertia matrix related information used for the feedback component(M2 network). Since the used control algorithm guarantees the robust trajectory tracking in spite of modeling errors, the CMAC mapping errors due to the memory limitation are little worth consideration.

전통적인 인공지능 계획방식은 완전한 월드 상태모델과 시스템 동작모델에 기초하여 처음부터 자동으로 작업계획을 생성하려는 접근방식이다. 그러나 지능로봇제어와 같이 불확실성과 가변성이 높은 실 세계 응용분야에서 이와 같은 전통적인 인공지능 계획방식은 효과를 얻기 어렵다. 반면에 많은 실 세계 응용분야에서는 그 분야에서 이미 잘 알려져 있는 작업 영역지식이나 제어지식들이 존재하며, 이들을 효과적으로 이용하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이러한 방법 중의 하나로서 복잡도가 높은 작업계획을 전문가가 직접 편집해서 입력하는 방식이 널리 쓰인다. 기본 동작모델과는 달리, 일반적으로 작업계획 표현언어는 복잡한 제어구조를 포함하는 하나의 작업 프로세스로 계획을 표현한다. 따라서 이러한 복잡한 절차적 지식인 작업계획을 편집하고 검증하기 위해서는 편리한 모델링 도구의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 PRS 계열의 작업계획을 비주얼 환경에서 편집할 수 있고, 가상 시뮬레이션 기능과 작업 계획기와의 연동 기능을 갖춘 PKM시스템의 설계와 구현에 대해 설명한다.

A Class of fuzzy controller based on the variable structure system(VSS) technique in which different structures of controllers are fuzzily switched according to the switching rules in proppsed. The structure of proposed controllers was motivated by the characteristics of position type fuzzy controller and velocity type fuzzy controller ; the former generally gives good performance in transient perod and the latter are capable of reducing steady state error of response. To show the usefulness of the proposed controller, it is applied to several systems that is difficult to stabilize or difficult to get satisfactory responsed by conventional fuzzy controllers.

In this paper, an integral variable structure static output feedback controller with an integral-augmented sliding surface is designed for the improved robust control of a uncertain system under unmatched system uncertainty and matched input matrix uncertainty and disturbance satisfying some conditions. To effectively remove the reaching phase problems, an output dependent integral augmented sliding surface is proposed. Its equivalent control and ideal sliding mode dynamics are obtained. The previous some limitations is overcome in this systematic design. A stabilizing control with the closed loop exponential stability is designed for all unmatched system matrix uncertainties and proved together with the existence condition of the sliding mode on S=0. To show the usefulness of the algorithm, a design example and computer simulations are presented.

We propose a VSC(Variable Structure Controller) with a PI-type reaching law. In General, conventional VSCs with a reaching law including a discontinuous term have the chattering problem, and thus the system may be unstable due to the disregarded high frequency dynamics in the modeling process. To resolve this problem, the PI-type reaching law is proposed in this paper. The proposed reaching law makes it easy to determine the reaching dynamics as well as the reaching time by utilizing the 2nd-order system analysis. Furthermore, since the discontinous term is not involved in the reaching law, the chattering is considerably reduced. To show the effectiveness of the proposed scheme, the stability of the proposed system is proved by Lyapunov method and the computer simulations are performed for the Ball Balance System.

본 논문에서는 약간의 가정하에 리모트 제어용 모형 헬리콥터의 동역학방정식을 유도하였으며, 이를 토대로하여 헬리콥터의 자세안정을 위한 제어 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 제어이론으로서는 파라메타의 변화및 외란에 강인한 가변구조 제어이론을 활용하였다. 본 제어 알고리듬에서는 헬리콥터의 위치이동 제어에 대하여서는 다루지를 못하였으며, 단지 헬리콥터의 hovering 상태에서의 자세 안정화에만 촛점을 두어 제어 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 컴퓨터 모사를 통하여, 제안된 제어 제어 알고리듬의 타당성을 보였으며, 약 2-3초의 시간이 경과된 이후 자세가 안정화 됨을 볼 수 있었다.

In this paper, we propose a new obstacle negotiation method for the rescue robot. The rescue robot has a variable geometry single-tracked mechanism, so it can maximize a contact length with ground for the adaptability to off-road and pursue a stable system due to the lower center of gravity. In this research, we add the basis of autonomous navigation, driving mode control based on obstacle detection, to the robot to realize automation of mode transformation. Obstacle detection using PSD(Position Sensitive Device) infrared sensors gives active transformation of the track shape. Finally, experimental results about mentioned are presented.

Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) involves locating, rescuing (extricating), and medically stabilizing victims trapped in confined spaces. In this paper we state the current approach to USAR, address the limitations and discuss the way for moving in rugged topography. To achieve objectives such as surveillance, reconnaissance, and rescue, it is necessary to develop a driving mechanism that can handle rugged geographical features. We propose a new type of driving mechanism for a rescue robot that has a variable shape single-track. By using a variety shapes, it can get the gain of steering and rotating and the ability to overcome stairs. In this paper, we analyzed the design parameters for making variable transform shapes and determined the specifications of the robot to enhance adaptability to stairs.

In this paper, a new variable structure controller is designed for the tracker control of uncertain general plants so that the output of plants can controlled to a given arbitrary point in state space. By using the error between the steady state value of the output and the given reference, the sliding surface is defined, in advance, the surface from an initial state to the given reference without any reaching phase. A corresponding control input to satisfy the existence condition of the sliding mode is suggested to control the output on the predefined surface. Therefore the output controlled by the proposed controller is completely robust and identical to that of the sliding surface. Through an example, the usefulness is verified.
