To implement an automatic picking system (APS) in distribution center with high precision and high dynamics, this paper presents a design of a linear induction motor (LIM) drive and robust position controller based on integral variable structure control (IVSC) scheme. The force disturbance as well as the mechanical parameter variation such as the mass and friction coefficient gives a direct influence on the position control performance of APS. To guarantee a robust control performance in the presence of such uncertainty, a robust position controller is designed. A Simulink library is developed for the LIM model from the state equation. Through this model and comparative simulation based on Matlab - Simulink, it is proved that the proposed scheme has a robust control nature and is most suitable for APS.

An intelligent accurate sun tracking controller for solar lighting system was developed. This controller can detect the faulty sensor and correct the error signal based on Principle Component Analysis theory. A fuzzy controller was developed to control the tracker by using the collected sensor signal for precise position control. Also a multiple range searching sensor module for sun tracking was designed. To show the validity of the developed system, some experiments in the field were illustrated.

Recently, the solar tracker has been used to improve the efficiency of solar energy. Solar tracking technologies are classified into the sensor-based method, the program-based method, and the hybrid method. Solar trackers using an AC motor and CdS sensor are low in cost, but the precision of the positions is low, owing to the inertia of the motor and the scattering of sunlight. To compensate for the low precision, we implement a CdS sensor module and propose an AC motor control method using error value. To evaluate the performance of the solar tracker, we implemented a solar water heater. From the experimental results, the solar tracker can achieve ${\pm}2mm$ accuracy for sun, can satisfy ${\pm}15mm$ as a limited error value, and provides a 32% performance enhancement in KSB8202 criteria.

A fast tool servo (FTS) for diamond turning improves machining accuracy by quickly compensating relative position errors between the cutter and the workpiece. Therefore, the FTS needs to have large band-width with good tracking performance. Serious hysteresis nonlinearity of PZT actuators used in the FTS, however, deteriorates fast tracking performance. Several types of feedforward hysteresis compensators and feedback controllers are tested to improve tracking performance. Through simulations and experiments, control structure which yields the smallest tracking error is selected. The maximum peak to peak error in tracking a sinusoidal waveform is reduced by one fifth compared to that of a regular PID controller.

A piezoelectric actuator is widely used in precision positioning applications due to its excellent positioning resolution. However, the piezoelectric actuator lacks in repeatability because of its inherently high hysteresis characteristic between voltage and displacement. In this paper, a controller is proposed to compensate the hysteresis nonlinearity. The controller is composed of a PID and a neural network part in parallel manner. The output of the PID controller is used to teach the neural network controller by the unsupervised learning method. In addition, the PID controller stabilizes the piezoelectric actuator in the beginning of the learning process, when the neural network controller is not learned. However, after the learning process the piezoelectric actuator is mainly controlled by the neural netwok controller. In this paper, the excellent tracking performance of the proposed controller was verified by experiments and was compared with the classical PID controller.

본 논문에서는 새로운 적응 퍼지 슬라이딩 모드제어 방법을 제시하였다. 제어기는 정확한 수확적인 모델이 없이도 점근적으로 시스템을 안정화시킬 수 있으며 적분항을 포함시킴으로서 정상상태에서의 오차를 좀 더 줄일 수가 있다. 직접구동모터는 감쇄기어가 없어서 부하나 외란 토크의 변화에도 모터 역학에 직접적으로 많은 영향을 줄 수가 있다. 제어기의 실제성능을 확인하기 위하여 불확실한 부하나 변소를 갖는 직접구동모터의 위치제어에 적용하였다.

Motor control requires robust and precise control performance even in the presence of errors in the mathematical model of the motor and disturbances acting on the motor. For robust and precise control, a disturbance observer was designed to estimate the load fluctuation and applied to a back-stepping controller designed as a nominal system. The control performance of the designed system was verified by applying it to the 120 [W] Brushless Direct Current Motor. As a result of the position control and speed control, the disturbance is overcome from the steady state error converges to zero, and asymptotically stable results can be confirmed.

수치제어(NC: numerical control) 기술은 공장자동화를 위한 중요기술이다. 우리산업현장에 공장 자동화가 확장되면 서 NC 공작기계산업용 로봇, 삼차원 좌표측정기 등의 사용이 매우 증가되고있다. 이러ㅗ한 수치제어용 기계에서는 자동 위치제어를 위하여 길이변위와 회전각도감지용센서인 NC 엔코더가 매우 중요한 부품이다. NC 엔코더에는 선형 엔코더( NC-스케일)와 회전 엔코더가 있으며, 각각 직선운동과 회전운동을 제어하기위해서 필요한 자동화 부품이다. 선형 엔코 더는 직선운동의 변위를 감지하며 NC-스케일 이라고도 말한다. 우리 나라에서는 아직 엔코더 제작기술을 개발하지 못하여 전량수입에의존하고 있다. 이러한 NC 엔코더의 수요는 해외시장뿐만 아니라 국내시장에서도 급격히 증가 되고있으며 국산화 개발이 시급하다. 이 글에서는 NC-스케일 제조기술을 개발함에있어서 연구하였던 참조위치 마크(Rrference Mark)설계 기술을 정리한다.

본 논문에서는 초정밀 위치 결정 시스템에서 보다 정확한 제어를 위한 새로운 제어기를 설계한다. 외란을 고려한 시스템의 경우, 환경이 달라질 때마다 측정 노이즈를 정확하게 알아내기란 쉽지 않다. 따라서 측정 장치의 정확성을 나타낼 수 있도록 칼만 필터추정기와 퍼지 이론을 이용하여 정확한 측정 오차값을 구한다. 이때, 파라미터 불확실성과 의란에 강인한 제어를 위해 슬라이딩 모드 제어기와 LQ 최적 제어기가 적용된다. 최종적으로, 제안된 제어기와 시간 최적 제어기의 성능비교를 통하여 보다 강인하고 안정된 성능개선을 증명한다.
