We propose an optimized adaptive PID control scheme. This paper is focused on the development of model reduction as well as a new adoptive control structure (viz. a recursive least square estimation (RLSE) method-based structure) that is constructed with smith-predictor structure and a real time estimator. The estimator adjust parameters of a reduced model in real time. It leads to robust and superb control performance for the noise or variation of parameters of process. Experimental study reveals that the proposed control structure exhibits more superb output performance in comparison to some previous methods.

The most important part in automated transport systems is steering control for lane keeping Most of systems developed so far have used the visual information for steering control. In this study, the steering control algorithm based on visual servoing has been developed and tested by applying it on Radio Controlled(R/C) model car equipped with one CCD camera. We also demonstrated the feasibility of using it as a pre-test car before the real car experiment in developing automated vehicles. In order to solve the problem of the limited spave and load of a model car, remote-brained approach has been taken. For steering control of a model car, the PD controller which uses the look ahead offset to generate control input has been implemented and the characteristics of the controller has been explained in view of kinematics. Some experimental results have been also illustrated so as to show the control performance and stability.

Humanoid robots have fascinated many researchers since they appeared decades ago. For the requirement of both accurate tracking control and the safety of physical human-robot interaction, torque control is basically desirable for humanoid robots. Humanoid robots are highly nonlinear, coupled, complex systems, accordingly the calculation of robot model is difficult and even impossible if precise model of the humanoid robots are unknown. Therefore, it is difficult to control using traditional model-based techniques. To realize model-free torque control, time-delay control (TDC) for humanoid robot was proposed with time-delay estimation technique. Using optimal walking trajectory obtained by particle swarm optimization, TDC with proposed scheme is implemented on whole body of a humanoid, not on biped legs even though it is performed by a virtual humanoid robot. The simulation results show the validity of the proposed TDC for humanoid robots.

A mathematical model was developed for a continuous re-actor in which free radical polymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) occurred. Elementary reactions considered in this study were initiation, propagation, termination, and chain transfers to monomer and solvent. The reactor model took into account the density change of the reactor contents and the gel effect. A control system was designed for a continuous reactor using extended Kalman filter (EKF) based non-linear model predictive controller (NLMPC) to control the conversion and the weight average molecular weight of the polymer product. Control input variables were the jacket inlet temperature and the feed flow rate. For the purpose of validation of the control strategy, on-line digital control experiments were conducted with densitometer and viscometer for the measurement of the polymer properties. Despite the com-plex and nonlinear features of the polymerization reaction system, the EKF based NLMPC performed quite satisfactorily for the property control of the continuous polymerization reactor.

This paper deals with deterministic PI controller design based on dynamic characteristics for refrigeration system. The temperature control system of an oil cooler is described as a typical 2nd order model of the refrigeration system which has zeros in a transfer function. PI controller gains satisfying control specifications are represented by the dynamic characteristic functions using relationship between the parameters and the control specifications in the model. Phase margin was considered to increase robustness of the oil cooler control system. Furthermore, the influence of zeros in the model to the control specifications was analyzed in detail for improving control performance. The validity of the suggested PI controller design was investigated using the four types of gains which had been already confirmed their control performances through experiments.

This paper presents the development of real-time estimation and control details for a computer vision-based robot control method. This is accomplished using a sequential estimation scheme that permits placement of these points in each of the two-dimensional image planes of monitoring cameras. Estimation model is developed based on a model that generalizes know 4-axis Scorbot manipulator kinematics to accommodate unknown relative camera position and orientation, etc. This model uses six uncertainty-of-view parameters estimated by the iteration method. The method is tested experimentally in two ways : First the validity of estimation model is tested by using the self-built test model. Second, the practicality of the presented control method is verified in performing 4-axis manipulator's assembly task. These results show that control scheme used is precise and robust. This feature can open the door to a range of application of multi-axis robot such as deburring and welding.

A dynamic modeling procedure for developing a control model of the driving system of a heavy industrial vehicle is presented. The dynamic model is derived by applying generalized Lagrangian equations to each component of the system and imposing kinematic relations between components as constraints. In order to obtain the control model, a few assumptions are made for the simplification of the nonlinear and complicated model, which is justified by the comparison of the simulation results of the original full nonlinear model and the simplified control model.

In this study, the uniaxial ratcheting effect of Z2CND18.12N austenitic stainless steel at room and elevated temperatures is firstly simulated based on the Ahmadzadeh-Varvani hardening rule (A-V model), which is embedded into the finite element software ABAQUS by writing the user material subroutine UMAT. The results show that the predicted results of A-V model are lower than the experimental data, and the A-V model is difficult to control ratcheting strain rate. In order to improve the predictive ability of the A-V model, the parameter γ2 of the A-V model is modified using the isotropic hardening criterion, and the extended A-V model is proposed. Comparing the predicted results of the above two models with the experimental data, it is shown that the prediction results of the extended A-V model are in good agreement with the experimental data.

In this paper, an estimator with an appropriate adaptive law for updating parameters is designed and analyzed based on the Lyapunov theory. The adaptive law is designed so that the estimation model follows the parameterized plant model. Using the proposed estimator, the parameters of the T-S fuzzy model can be estimated by observing the behavior of the system and it can be a basis for indirect adaptive fuzzy control.

A Variable Structure Model Reference Adaptive Controller (VS-MRAC) using state Variables is proposed for single input multi output systems. . The structure of the switching functions is designed based on stability requirements, and global exponential stability is proved. Transient behavior is analyzed using sliding mode control and shows perfect model following at a finite time. The effect of input disturbances on stability and transients is investigated and shows preference to the conventional MRAC schemes with integral adaptation law. Sliding surfaces are independent of system parameters and therefore VS-MRAC is insensitive to system parameter variations. Simulation is presented to clear the theoretical results.
