For the tracking of the way-points of hovering AUV (HAUV), we suggest a simple PID controller. The way-points are designed to approach to a virtual underwater structure and the heading angles at each way-point are set to look at the structure in the face. The proposed controller consists of a vertical controller to maintain the depth and pitch angle, and a horizontal controller to move to the desired position as well as to adjust the heading angle of the HAUV. In the simulation using Matlab/Simulink, the HAUV with the proposed PID controller is shown to track all the way-points within 1 m range while maintaining proper heading angle at each way-point.

This paper is concerned with the H₂ attitude controller design for 3 degree of freedom (DOF) Hover systems with an event-triggered mechanism. The 3 DOF Hover system is an embedded platform for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) provided by Quanser. The mathematical model of this system is obtained by a linearization around operating points and it is represented as a linear parameter-varying (LPV) model. To save communication network resources, the event-triggered mechanism (ETM) is considered and the performance of the system is guaranteed by the H₂ controller. The stabilization condition is obtained by using Lyapunov-Krasovskii functionals (LKFs) and some useful lemmas. The effectiveness of the proposed method is shown by simulation and experimental results.

In this paper, we developed the evaluation system for the active noise control so that the algorithms can be easily evaluated in real-time on the system. We implemented the active noise controller based on a single-chip with only additional op-amps for signal conditioning because the TMS320C280049 MCU includes almost all necessary peripherals for the active noise controller. Due to the difficulty in testing algorithms on embedded-type hardware unlike in computer simulation, we also developed GUI-based evaluation software which makes it simple to test algorithms on the hardware. Using the GUI software, we can optimize the parameters of the algorithms with ease in a specific noise environment because the parameters can be adjusted in real-time when the algorithm is running on the hardware.

This paper presents an automatic target tracking flight system using a PID controller based on velocity command of a multirotor UAV. The automatic flight system includes marker based onboard target detection and an automatic velocity command generation replacing manual controller. A quad-rotor UAV is equipped with a camera and an image processing computer to detect the marker in real time and to estimate the relative distance from the target. The marker tracking system consists of PID controller and generates velocity command based on the relative distance. The generated velocity command is used as the input of the UAV's original flight controller. The operation of the proposed system was verified through actual flight tests using a marker on top of a moving vehicle and tracks it to successfully demonstrate its capability using a quad-rotor UAV.

For the shake of control for movement object, control theory like neural network, nonlinear model predictive control(NMPC) is realized on digital high speed computer. Predictor of flight control system(FCS) based nonlinear model predictive control has to be satisfied with response for hard real-time to perform applications on each module in the FCS. Simultaneously, It gives a serious consideration accuracy to give full play to FCS's performance. Error of mathematical aspect affects realization of whole algorithm. But factors of bring mathematical error is not considered to calculate final accuracy on parameter of predictor. In this paper, Predictor was made using load control model on the digital computer for design FCS at hard real-time and is shown response time on realization algorithm. And is shown realization algorithm of high effective predictor over the accuracy. The predictor was realized on the load control model using Euler method, Heun method, Runge-Kutta and Taylor method.

Recently, new appliances have become built-in ethernet Port but most of the old devices have serial port. So, it complicates and needs long time to maintain at a long distance. It can only controllable and fixable using modem. In this paper, we developed an embedded STEP converter within Linux operating system and other application software so that serial devices(PBX) can control in the ethernet network After completion of development processes, test was conducted. In the remote places, it was connected the STEP converter and controled the serial PBX. Finally, we confirmed that it can apply to other equipments.

AFLS (Adaptive front lighting System) is being applied to improve safety in driving automotive at night. Safe embedded system for controlling head-lamp has to be tightly designed by considering safety requirement of hardware-dependent software, which is embedded in automotive ECU(Electronic Control Unit) hardware under severe environmental noise. In this paper, we propose an adaptive headlight controller with newly-designed symmetric angle sensor compensator, which is integrated with ECU-based adaptive front light system. The proposed system, on which additional backup hardware and emergency control algorithm are integrated, effectively detects abnormal situation and restore safe status of controlling the light-angle in AFLS operations by comparing result in symmetric angle sensor. The controlled angle value is traced into internal memory in runtime and will be continuously compared with the pre-defined lookup table (LUT) with symmetric angle value, which is used in normal operation. The watch-dog concept, which is based on using angle sensor and control-value tracer, enables quick response to restore safe light-controlling state by performing the backup sequence in emergency situation.
