In this paper, we proposed a feature-based tracking system that traces moving objects with a pan-tilt camera after separating the global motion of an active camera and the local motion of moving objects. The tracking system traces only the local motion of the comer features in the foreground objects by finding the block motions between two consecutive frames using a block-based motion estimation and eliminating the global motion from the block motions. For the robust estimation of the camera motion using only the background motion, we suggest a dominant motion extraction to classify the background motions from the block motions. We also propose an efficient clustering algorithm based on the attributes of motion trajectories of corner features to remove the motions of noise objects from the separated local motion. The proposed tracking system has demonstrated good performance for several test video sequences.

This paper deals with the issue of trajectory tracking control of a clamping cylinder for injection moulding machine, which is directly driven by speed controlled hydraulic pump in combination with AC servomotor. As a fundamental step prior to tracking controller design, feedback control system is developed by implementing a position control loop parallel with a system pressure control loop. A sliding mode controller combining velocity feedforward scheme is developed for enhancing the tracking performance. Consequently a significant reduction in tracking error is achieved for both position and pressure control applications.

The present study investigated the tracking system of a reflector to trace the movement of sun. The system was designed to minimize the error between the vertical vector of reflector and the position of sun. The proposed system was able to collect the sun lights at a point as a useful source of light energy and transmit the collected light to a remote area through optical fibers. Also the study successfully solved the controller design problem due to the complexity of modeling of the sun tracking system using a fuzzy logic controller which mimics human reasoning.

Since the crack in the surface of the concrete acts as the main reason influencing the life span of the structure, regular inspections and maintenance are required. The sealing required for maintenance of the concrete surface is a method of repairing the crack in the surface in the beginning, and is effective in preventing additional cracks and expansion that occurs with time. However, sealing on large sized structures such as tall buildings or bottom parts of bridges are difficult to ensure safety of the workers due to inadequate working environments. Due to this reason, the importance of the need for sealing automation for the maintenance of large sized concrete structures is emerging. This study proposes two control methods to apply robot systems to the sealing of cracks on the bottom parts of concrete bridges. First is the method of automatically tracking the trajectory of cracks. The robot gets the trajectory of the cracks using video information obtained from cameras. Comparing the previous several points and new point, the next point can be estimated. Thus, the trajectory of the crack can be tracked automatically. The other method is sealing by maintaining steady force to the contacting surface. The concrete surface exposed to an external environment for a long time gets an irregular roughness. If robots are able to carry out sealing while maintaining a steady contact force on these rough surfaces, complete equal sealing can be maintained. In order to maintain this equal force, a force control method using impedance is proposed. This paper introduces two developed control methods to apply to sealing robots, and conducts a Lab Test and Field Test after applying to a robot. Based on the test results, opinions on the possibilities of field application of the robot applied with the control methods are presented.

This paper introduces a robust sliding mode repetitive control method for a class of nonlinear system. The sliding mode controller stabilizes the overall system and makes the tracking error converge to some residual set. Also, tile repetitive learning controller makes the tracking error converge to zero. Unlike other methods, the proposed sliding mode controller reduces the chattering effects in the steady state without using high-order sliding manifold approach.

In this paper, a new integral variable structure regulation controller(IVSRC) is designed by using a special integral sliding surface and a disturbance observer for the improved regulation control of highly nonlinear robot manipulators with prescribed output performance. The sliding surface having the integral state with a special initial condition is employed in this paper to exactly predetermine the ideal sliding trajectory from a given initial condition to origin without any reaching phase. And a continuous sliding mode input using the disturbance observer is also introduced in oder to effectively follow the predetermined sliding trajectory within the prescribed accuracy without large computation burden. The performance of the prescribed tracking accuracy to the predetermined sliding trajectory is clearly investigated in detail through the two theorems together with the closed loop stability. The design of the proposed IVSRC is separated into the performance design and robustness design in each independent link. The usefulness of the algorithm has been demonstrated through simulation studies on the regulation control of a two link manipulator under parameter uncertainties and payload variations, in view of no reaching phase, no overshoot, predetermined response with prescribed accuracy, easy change of output performance, separation of design phase, and so on.

본 논문은 비선형 시스템에서 시스템의 출력이 원하는 궤적을 따라가도록 하기 위한 반복제어 이론을 소개한다. 본 논문에서는 전체 시스템의 안정화를 위해서 추적오차의 부호에 따라 부호가 결정되는 부호전환 제어(switching control) 입력을 사용하고 있다. 그러나 본 논문에서 사용하는 제어 입력은 크기가 추적오차의 크기에 비례하게 되어 있어서 정상상태에서 발생할 수 있는 고속의 부호전환 문제(chattering problem)를 크게 완화시켜서 정상상태에서의 성능을 개선시키고 있다. 또한, 오차가 어떤 범위를 벗어나 있으면 그 범위 안으로 지수적으로 수렴하여 그 안에 계속 머물도록 하는 제어 기법도 소개하였다.

In this study, a position trajectory tracking control algorithm is proposed for a pneumatic artificial muscle driving apparatus composed of a actuator which imitates the muscle of human, a position sensor and a control valve. The controller applied to the driving apparatus is composed of a state feedback controller and disturbance observer. The feedback controller which feeds back position, velocity and acceleration is derived from the linear model of pneumatic artificial muscle driving apparatus. The disturbance observer is designed to improve trajectory tracking performance and to reduce the effect of model discrepancy. The effectiveness of the designed controller is proved by experiments and the experimental results show that the pneumatic artificial muscle driving apparatus with the proposed control algorithm tracks given position reference inputs accurately.
