In this paper, we propose an adaptive mechanism based on humoral immune algorithm and neural network identifier technique. It is also applied for an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) system. When the immune algorithm is applied to the PID controller, there exists the case that the plant is damaged due to the abrupt change of PID parameters since the parameters are almost adjusted randomly. To slove this problem, we use the neural network identifier technique for modeling the plant humoral immune algorithm (HIA) which performs the parameter tuning of the considered model, respectively. Finally, the experimental results for control of steering and speed of AGV system illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme. Also, these results for the proposed method show that it has better performance than other conventional controller design method such as PID controller.

In this paper, an intelligent force control technique is applied to an autonomous helicopter. Although most research on the autonomous helicopter system is about navigation and control, force control of an autonomous helicopter system is quite new and not presented yet. After controlling the position of the helicopter by the LQR method, force control is applied. The adaptive impedance force control algorithm is introduced and tested to regulate the desired force under unknown location and stiffness of the environment. To compensate for uncertainty from outer disturbance, a neural network is added to form an intelligent force control framework. Simulation studies show that the proposed force control algorithm works well.

This paper proposes actuator fault detection and adaptive fault-tolerant control algorithms using performance index and human-like learning for longitudinal autonomous vehicles. Conventional longitudinal controller for autonomous driving consists of supervisory, upper level and lower level controllers. In this paper, feedback control law and PID control algorithm have been used for upper level and lower level controllers, respectively. For actuator fault-tolerant control, adaptive rule has been designed using the gradient descent method with estimated coefficients. In order to adjust the control parameter used for determination of adaptation gain, human-like learning algorithm has been designed based on perceptron learning method using control errors and control parameter. It is designed that the learning algorithm determines current control parameter by saving it in memory and updating based on the cost function-based gradient descent method. Based on the updated control parameter, the longitudinal acceleration has been computed adaptively using feedback law for actuator fault-tolerant control. The finite window-based performance index has been designed for detection and evaluation of actuator performance degradation using control error.

This paper presents sensor network based autonomous vehicle system using a proposed image processing algorithm. The proposed image processing algorithm consists of pre-processing and five-stage image processing: coordinate calculation, driving area decision, line segment calculation, steeling decision, and acceleration decision. We evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm on both straight road and curved road. Experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm works well for autonomous vehicles. However, control accuracy of the proposed algorithm decreases as speed is increasing.

본 논문은 자율주행 개인화를 위한 역 충돌시간 및 차두시간 융합 기반 인간중심 제어 알고리즘 개발에 관한 것이다. 운전자 및 탑승자의 자율주행에 대한 이질감 최소화를 위해 인간중심적 주행제어 기술이 필요하다. 운전자가 선행차량과 함께 주행하는 조건에서 운전자의 주행특성을 분석하고, 분석된 결과를 종방향 자율주행 제어에 반영하였다. 주행특성으로 가속도, 역 충돌시간, 차두시간 분포가 분석되었고, 운전자의 주행특성이 반영된 제어기 구성을 위해 역 충돌시간 및 차두시간을 이용한 종방향 제어기를 구성하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 제어 알고리즘은 Matlab/Simulink 환경에서 구성되었으며 실 주행데이터 기반 성능평가가 수행되었다.

Lately, many studies have been progressed for the protection human's lives and property as holding in check accidents happened by human's carelessness or mistakes. One part of these is the development of an autonomouse vehicle. General control method of vision-based autonomous vehicle system is to determine the navigation direction by analyzing lane images from a camera, and to navigate using proper control algorithm. In this paper, characteristic points are abstracted from lane images using lane recognition algorithm with sobel operator. And then the vehicle is controlled using two proposed auto-steering algorithms. Two steering control algorithms are introduced in this paper. First method is to use the geometric relation of a camera. After transforming from an image coordinate to a vehicle coordinate, a steering angle is calculated using Ackermann angle. Second one is using a neural network algorithm. It doesn't need to use the geometric relation of a camera and is easy to apply a steering algorithm. In addition, It is a nearest algorithm for the driving style of human driver. Proposed controller is a multilayer neural network using Levenberg-Marquardt backpropagation learning algorithm which was estimated much better than other methods, i.e. Conjugate Gradient or Gradient Decent ones.

For a vehicle to follow a reference path accurately, its position must be estimated accurately and reliably. In this paper, we propose a lateral control algorithm for autonomous navigation of a vehicle via USAT(Ultrasonic Satellite System), which is an absolute position measurement system using an ultrasonic wave and INS(Inertial Navigation System) integration. In order to estimate the vehicle's parameters, a J-turn test is used. And the autonomous navigation performances of proposed lateral control algorithm and validity of proposed lateral control algorithm are verified and evaluated by simulation and experiments.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive mechanism based on immune algorithm and neural network identifier technique. It is also applied fur an autonomous guided vehicle (AGV) system. When the immune algorithm is applied to the PID controller, there exists the case that the plant is damaged due to the abrupt change of PID parameters since the parameters are almost adjusted randomly. To solve this problem, we use the neural network identifier (NNI) technique fur modeling the plant and humoral immune algorithm (HIA) which performs the parameter tuning of the considered model, respectively. After the PID parameters are determined in this off-line manner, these gains are then applied to the plant for the on-line control using an immune adaptive algorithm. Moreover, even though the neural network model may not be accurate enough initially, the weighting parameters are adjusted to be accurate through the on-line fine tuning. Finally, the simulation and experimental result fur the control of steering and speed of AGV system illustrate the validity of the proposed control scheme. These results for the proposed method also show that it has better performance than other conventional controller design methods.

This study presented a model predictive tracking control algorithm of autonomous truck based on object state estimation using extended Kalman filter. To design the model, the 1-layer laser scanner was used to estimate position and velocity of the object using extended Kalman filter. Based on these estimations, the desired linear path for object tracking was computed. The lateral and yaw angle errors were computed using the computed linear path and relative positions of the truck. The computed errors were used in the model predictive control algorithm to compute the optimal steering angle for object tracking. The performance evaluation was conducted on Matlab/Simulink environments using planar truck model and actual point data obtained from laser scanner. The evaluation results showed that the tracking control algorithm developed in this study can track the object reasonably based on the model predictive control algorithm based on the estimated states.
