Recently, For the material transport is increased, the AGV(Automated Guided Vehicle) is the most important part in the industrial factory. So we treat the navigation control problem and experimental results using microprocessor. In navigation control, we have faced with velocity control problem related to guide path tracking problem. Carefully, In the straight line, the AGV moves at its high speed, but in the curve line, especially when the radian ratio is very big it is difficult to follow guide line. So, Using fuzzy controller we have simulated the guide path following AGV according to the varying velocity and experimented it with microprocessor.(Intel 80C196KC) Now, If we use the AGV industrial factory, we will improve the product and efficiency in spite of changing the factory environment.

In distributed autonomous mobile robot system, each robot (predator or prey) must behave by itself according to its states and environments, and if necessary, must cooperate with other robots in order to carry out a given task. Therefore it is essential that each robot have both learning and evolution ability to adapt to dynamic environment. This paper proposes a pursuing system utilizing the artificial life concept where virtual robots emulate social behaviors of animals and insects and realize their group behaviors. Each robot contains sensors to perceive other robots in several directions and decides its behavior based on the information obtained by the sensors. In this paper, a neural network is used for behavior decision controller. The input of the neural network is decided by the existence of other robots and the distance to the other robots. The output determines the directions in which the robot moves. The connection weight values of this neural network are encoded as genes, and the fitness individuals are determined using a genetic algorithm. Here, the fitness values imply how much group behaviors fit adequately to the goal and can express group behaviors. The validity of the system is verified through simulation. Besides, in this paper, we could have observed the robots' emergent behaviors during simulation.

There have been continuous efforts to automate welding processes. This automation process could be said to fall into two categories, weld seam tracking and weld quality evaluation. Recently, the attempts to achieve these two functions simultaneously are on the increase. For the study presented in this paper, a vision sensor is made, and using this, the 3 dimensional geometry of the bead is measured in real time. For the application in welding, which is the characteristic of nonlinear process, a fuzzy controller is designed. And with this, an adaptive control system is proposed which acquires the bead height and the coordinates of the point on the bead along the horizontal fillet joint, performs seam tracking with those data, and also at the same time, controls the bead geometry to a uniform shape. A communication system, which enables the communication with the industrial robot, is designed to control the bead geometry and to track the weld seam. Experiments are made with varied offset angles from the pre-taught weld path, and they showed the adaptive system works favorable results.

In this paper, path planning and tracking problems are mentioned to guarantee efficient and safe navigation of autonomous mobile robots. We focus on the path planning and also deal with the path tracking and obstacle avoidance. We improved the conventional distance transform (DT) algorithm for the path planning. Using the improved DT algorithm, we obtain paths with shorter distances compared to the conventional DT algorithm. In the stage of the path tracking, we employ the fuzzy logic controller to conduct the path tracking behavior and obstacle avoidance behavior. Through computer simulation studies, we show the effectiveness of the proposed navigational algorithm for autonomous mobile robots.

This paper presents a novel maximum power point tracking for a photovoltaic power (PV) system with a direct control plan. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT) must usually be integrated with photovoltaic (PV) power systems so that the photovoltaic arrays are able to deliver maximum available power. The maximum available power is tracked using specialized algorithms such as Perturb and Observe (P&O) and incremental Conductance (indCond) methods. The proposed method has the direct control of the MPPT algorithm to change the duty cycle of a dc-dc converter. The main difference of the proposed system to existing MPPT systems includes elimination of the proportional-integral control loop and investigation of the effect of simplifying the control circuit. The proposed method thus has not only faster dynamic performance but also high tracking accuracy. Without a conventional controller, this method can control the dc-dc converter. A simulation model and the direct control of MPPT algorithm for the PV power system are developed by Matlab/Simulink, SimPowerSystems and Matlab/Stateflow.

The active tuned mass damper (ATMD) is an efficient and reliable structural control system for mitigating the dynamic response of structures. The inertial force that an ATMD exerts on a structure to attenuate its otherwise large kinetic energy and undesirable vibrations and displacements is proportional to its excursion. Achieving a balance between the inertial force and excursion requires a control law or feedback mechanism. This study presents a technique for the optimum design of a sliding mode controller (SMC) as the control law for ATMD-equipped structures subjected to earthquakes. The technique includes optimizing an SMC under an artificial earthquake followed by testing its performance under real earthquakes. The SMC of a real 11-story shear building is optimized to demonstrate the technique, and its performance in mitigating the displacements of the building under benchmark near- and far-fault earthquakes is compared against that of a few other techniques (proportional-integral-derivative [PID], linear-quadratic regulator [LQR], and fuzzy logic control [FLC]). Results indicate that the optimum SMC outperforms PID and LQR and exhibits performance comparable to that of FLC in reducing displacements.

A model for calculating structure interacted mechanics is proposed. A structural interaction model and controller design based on tuned mass damping (TMD) was developed to control the induced vibration. A key point is to introduce a new analytical model to evaluate the properties of the TMD that recognizes the motion-dependent nonlinear response observed in the simulations. Aiming at the problem of increased current harmonics and low efficiency of permanent magnet synchronous motors for electric vehicles due to dead time effect, a dead time compensation method based on neural network filter and current polarity detection is proposed. Firstly, the DC components and the higher harmonic components of the motor currents are obtained by virtue of what the neural network filters and the extracted harmonic currents are adjusted to the required compensation voltages by virtue of what the neural network filters. Then, the extracted DC components are used for current polarity dead time compensation control to avert the false compensation when currents approach zero. The neural network filter method extracts the required compensation voltages from the speed component and the current polarity detection compensation method obtains the required compensation voltages by discriminating the current polarity. The combination of the two methods can more precisely compensate the dead time effect of the control system to improve the control performance. Furthermore, based on the relaxed method, the intelligent approach of stability criterion can be regulated appropriately and the artificial TMD was found to be effective in reducing cross-wind vibrations.

승차 공유, 카풀, 렌터카의 이용률이 증가하면서 많은 사용자가 동일한 차량에 로컬 액세스 할 수 있는 시나리오가 더욱 보편화됨에 따라 차량 네트워크에 대한 공격 가능성이 커지고 있다. 차량용 CAN Bus Network에 대한 DoS(Denial of Service), Fuzzy Attack 및 Replay Attack과 같은 공격은 일부 ECU(Electronic Controller Unit) 비활성 및 작동 불능 상태를 유발한다. 에어백, 제동 시스템과 같은 필수 시스템이 작동 불가 상태가 되어 운전자에게 치명적인 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 차량 네트워크 침입 탐지를 위하여 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으나, 기존 화이트리스트를 이용한 탐지 방법은 새로운 유형의 공격이 발생하거나 희소성이 높은 공격일 때 탐지하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 인공신경망 기반의 CAN 버스 네트워크 침입 탐지 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 침입 탐지 기법은 2단계로 나누어 진다. 1단계에서 정상 패킷 분포를 학습한 VAE 모형이 이상 탐지를 수행한다. 이상 패킷으로 판정될 경우, 2단계에서 인코더로부터 추출된 잠재변수와 VAE의 재구성 오차를 이용하여 공격 유형을 분류한다. 분류 결과의 신뢰점수(Confidence score)가 임계치보다 낮을 경우 학습하지 않은 공격으로 판단한다. 본 연구 결과물은 정보보호 연구·개발 데이터 첼린지 2019 대회의 차량 이상징후 탐지 트랙에서 제공하는 정상 및 3종의 차량 공격시도 패킷 데이터를 대상으로 성능을 평가하였다. 실험을 통해 자동차 제조사의 규칙이나 정책을 사전에 정의하지 않더라도 낮은 오탐율로 비정상 패킷을 탐지해 낼 수 있음을 확인할 수 있다.

Recently, many electronic control techniques for vehicles have been developed and applied. One of the technologies can be X-by-wire such as throttle-by-wire, brake-by-wire, steer-by-wire, and etc, in which most of mechanical parts are replaced into electrical wire and actuators. In this study, the effect of throttle-by-wire and brake-by-wire control systems on vehicle velocity control, especially in a school zone, are taken into consideration. The number of accidents reported in school zones is higher than that in other places. The reason for this is that many vehicle drivers do not obey speed limit regulations. Moreover, some of the students are careless while crossing the streets. Therefore, in this study, we attempt to develop a method using throttle-by-wire and brake-by-wire control systems for automatically reducing the vehicle speed such that it will be within the speed limit. First, an engine model and a transmission system model are developed for a specific vehicle model. Second, speed reduction is carried out such that the reduction follows a pre-designed cubic spline trajectory; the trajectory is determined such that rapid deceleration, which causes discomfort to the driver and passengers, can be prevented, for which a fuzzy-PID control algorithm is applied for the trajectory following control. Finally, simulation results are presented to verify the performance of the proposed speed reduction control system.

This paper is concerned with the control of multiple nonlinearities included in a humanoid robot system. A humanoid robot has some problems such as the structural instability, which leads to consider the control of multiple nonlinearities caused by driver parts as well as gear reducer. Saturation and backlash are typical examples of nonlinearities in the system. The conventional algorithms of backlash control were fuzzy algorithm, disturbance observer and neural network, etc. However, it is not easy to control the system by employing only single algorithm since the system usually includes multiple nonlinearities. In this paper, a switching Pill is considered for a control of saturation and a dual feedback algorithm is proposed for a backlash control. To implement the above algorithms, the system identification is firstly performed for the minimization of the difference between the results of simulation and experiment, and then the switching Pill gains are determined using genetic algorithm with some heuristic approach. The performance of the switching Pill controller for saturation and the dual feedback for backlash control is investigated through the simulation. Finally, it is shown that the implemented control system has good results and can be applied to the real humanoid robot system ISHURO.
