In this study an ANFIS-based trajectory tracking motion control algorithm is proposed for autonomous garage and parallel parking of a model car. The ANFIS controller is trained off-line using data set which obtained by Mandani fuzzy inference system and thereby the processing time decreases almost in half. The controller with a steering delay compensator is tuned through simulations performed under MATLAB/Simulink environment. Experiments are carried out with the model car for garage and parallel parking. The experimental results show that the trajectory tracking performance is satisfactory under various initial and road conditions

컴퓨터 비전을 이용한 이진 영상 데이터 처리는 사용자가 원하는 객체를 배경과 분리하여 추출하는 데에 유용하며 객체 위치 검출에는 테두리 검출(edge detection), 센트로이드 검출 (centroid detection) 등 다양한 기법들이 사용되어 왔다. 연속해서 움직이는 객체의 위치를 테두리 검출 기법을 이용하여 추종 시, 조명과 환경 잡음에 민감한 영상 데이터의 특성상 객체의 테두리 부분은 매 프레임마다 조금씩 차이가 있어 위치를 검출하는 데에 오차가 발생하기 쉽다. 그러나 센트로이드 기법으로 구할 경우 많은 픽셀의 무게중심을 구하는 것이므로 그 오차를 줄여 빠르고 정확한 위치 검출에 유용하다. 본 논문에서는 LabVIEW를 이용하여 진자운동 하는 물체의 센트로이드 점을 구하여 실시간 위치 검출을 구현한다.

This paper presents a low-cost robotic device for shoulder rehabilitation, which is capable of treating various shoulder disabilities. A 3-DOF passive shoulder joint tracking module was designed to allow for translational motion of the shoulder joint center during arm swing, which is essential for natural shoulder movement. The weight of the user's arm and the device were compensated for by springs, to enable gravity-free shoulder motion. In order to reduce the device's cost, only one actuator was used, which can be aligned with the user's shoulder joint in various orientations. The device is capable of implementing five representative shoulder motions, including flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, horizontal abd/adduction, internal/external rotation, and oblique raise. The proposed low-cost shoulder rehabilitation robot is expected to provide effective rehabilitation for patients with various shoulder impairments.

This paper presents a method to enable a UAV in autonomous flight along a desired path to follow it backwards when a strong headwind prevents the vehicle from proceeding forward. The main purpose of the reverse path following in this study is to return to a mission quickly when the wind becomes weaker. When the nonlinear path following guidance law is used, there are two reference points available in the path following. One of the two points is selected considering a flight direction for calculating a straight-line distance(L) from the vehicle to the point for the path following. An initial heading angle with respect to the wind direction determines whether the reverse path following is feasible or not at the time of the wind is generated. The result of the proposed method based on kinematic model in this study is verified through simulations implemented in Matlab.

An application of a simple and effective learning control scheme to a robotic arm for exercise is presented. During exercises, the force applied by a .user to an exercise machine varies for different users and for different workouts of the same user. learning control is used to compensate for the difference between the actual force and the planned one. It is shown through simulation that the learning control method decreases tracking error quickly for both time-invariant and time-varying forcing functions.

In this paper, a method for estimating the location of a quadcopter is proposed by applying an EKF-SLAM algorithm to its flight control, to autonomously control the flight of an unmanned quadcopter. The usefulness of this method is validated through simulations. For autonomously flying the unmanned quadcopter, an algorithm is required to estimate its accurate location, and various approaches exist for this. Among them, SLAM, which has seldom been applied to the quadcopter flight control, was applied in this study to simulate a system that estimates flight trajectories of the quadcopter.

In case the uncertainty existing in a system is assumed to satisfy the matching condition and to be come-bounded. Y. H. Chen proposed an adaptive robust control algorithm which introduced adaptive sheme for a design parameter into robust deterministic controls. In this paper, the adaptive robust control algorithm is applied to the position tracking control of direct drive robots, and simulation and experimental studies are conducted to evaluate control performance.

A general procedure for a motion capture and mimic system has been delineated. Utilizing sensors operated in the magnetic fields, complicated and optimized movements are easily digitized to analyze and repreduce. The system consists of a motion capture module, a motion visualization module, a motion plan module, a motion mimic module, and a GUI module. Design concepts of the system are modular, open, and user friendly to ensure the overall system performance. Custom-built and/or off-the-shelf modules are ease- ly integrated into the system. With modifications, this procedure can be applied for complicated motion controls. This procedure is implemented on tracking a head and balancing a pole. A neural controller based on this control scheme dtilizing human motions can easily evolve from a small amount of learning data.

This paper deals with the State-Dependent Riccati Equation (SDRE) technique for the design of helicopter nonlinear flight controllers. Since the SDRE controller requires a linear system-like structure for nonlinear motion equations, a state-dependent coefficient (SDC) factorization technique is developed in order to derive the conforming structure from a general nonlinear helicopter dynamic model. Also on-line numerical methods of solving the algebraic Riccati equation are investigated to improve the numerical efficiency in designing the SDRE controllers. The proposed method is applied to trajectory tracking problems of the helicopter and computational tips for a real time application are proposed using a high fidelity rotorcraft mathematical model.

This study is to develop a vehicle Integrated Dynamics Control System(IDCB) that can stabilize the lateral dynamics and maintain steerability. To accomplish this task, an eight degree of freedom vehicle model and a nonlinear observer are designed. The IDCB independently controls the brake systems of four wheels with a fuzzy logic control and a sliding model control. The result shows that the nonlinear observer produced satisfactory results. IDCB tracked the reference yaw rate and reduced the body slip angle under all tested conditions. It indicates that the IDCB enhanced lateral stability and preserved steerability.
