Buoys are widely used in marine areas because they can mark positions and simultaneously acquire and exchange underwater, surface, and airborne information. Recently, the need for controlling and optimizing a buoy's position and attitude has been raised to achieve successful communication in a heterogeneous collaborative network composed of an underwater robot, a surface robot, and an airborne robot. A buoy in the form of a marine robot would be ideal to address this issue, as it can serve as a moving node of the communication network. Therefore, a buoy-based autonomous surface robot-kit with the abilities of sonar-based avoidance, dynamic position control, and static attitude control was developed and is discussed in this paper. The test and evaluation results of this kit show the possibility of real-world applications and the need for additional studies.

This paper presents an overview of position-based routing algorithms. We analyze performances of routing algorithms such as Hybrid Opportunistic Forwarding (HOF), Opportunistic multi-hop routing (ExOR), Location based Geocasting and Forwarding (LGF), and Greedy Forwarding in nearest with forward Progress (GFP) routing algorithms to find the best one in terms of packet error rate and throughput efficiency over effects of fading and noise variance in wireless networks. The analyses in closed form expressions are confirmed by the simulation results, which fully agree to analysis results. Additionally, the simulation results indicate significant differences among algorithms when varying the average SNR or the number of relays.

Indoor positioning system becomes of increasing interests due to the demands for accurate indoor location information where Global Navigation Satellite System signal does not approach. Wi-Fi access points (APs) built in many construction in advance helps developing a Wi-Fi Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) based indoor localization. This localization method first collects pairs of position and RSSI measurement set, which is called fingerprint database, and then estimates a user's position when given a query measurement set by comparing the fingerprint database. The challenge arises from nonlinearity and noise on Wi-Fi RSSI measurements and complexity of handling a large amount of the fingerprint data. In this paper, machine learning techniques have been applied to implement Wi-Fi based localization. However, most of existing indoor localizations focus on single position estimation. The main contribution of this paper is to develop multi-target localization by using deep neural, which is beneficial when a massive crowd requests positioning service. This paper evaluates the proposed multilocalization based on deep learning from a multi-story building, and analyses its learning effect as increasing number of target positions.

As semiconductor processes require several nanometers precision, the importance of motor control is increasing in semiconductor equipment. Due to unpredictable uncertainties such as friction and mechanical vibrations achieving precise position control in semiconductor processes is challenging. The internal model principle-based controller is a control technique that ensures robust steady-state performance by incorporating a model of the reference and disturbance. The disturbance observer-based controller is a prominent robust control technique implemented to cope with various nonlinearities and uncertainties. Provided that the two controllers can be designed to exhibit equivalent performance under certain conditions, this paper demonstrates through experiments that they yield identical results for the case of a BLDC position control problem. The experimental results also indicate that they can offer enhanced robustness compared with the conventional PID controller in the presence of a time-varying disturbance.

This paper presents a new velocity estimation strategy for a non-salient permanent magnet synchronous motor drive without high frequency signal injection or special PWM pattern. This approach is based on the d-axis current regulator output voltage of the drive system, which contains the rotor position error information. The rotor velocity can be estimated through a rotor position tracking PI controller that controls the position error at zero. For zero and low speed operation, the PI gain of the rotor position tracking controller has a variable structure according to the estimated rotor velocity. Then, at zero speed, the rotor position and velocity have sluggish dynamics because the varying gains are very low in this region. In order to boost the bandwidth of the PI controller during zero speed, the loop recovery technique is applied to the control system. The PI tuning formulas are also derived by analyzing this control system by frequency domain specifications such as phase margin and bandwidth assignment.

Position estimation that uses only active phase voltage and current is presented, to perform high accuracy position sensorless control of a SRM drive. By extracting the amplitude of the first switching harmonic terms of phase voltage and current for a PWM period through Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), the flux-linkage and position are estimated without external hardware circuitry, such as a modulator and demodulator, which result in increased cost, as well as large position estimation error, produced when the motional back EMF is ignored near zero speed. A two-phase SRM drive system, consisting of an asymmetrical converter and a conventional closed-loop PI current controller, is utilized to validate the performance of the proposed position estimation scheme in comprehensive operating conditions. It is shown that the estimated values very closely track the actual values, in dynamic simulations and experiments.

To investigate the effect of illumination conditions on visual inspection performance for TV panel glasses, three dependent variables, inspection time, error, and preference , were measured and analyzed through two consecutive experiments. The first experiment for reflection inspection was conducted using two independent variables, position and brightness. The second experiment for transparent inspection was made using two independent variables, height and brightness. The summary of the results of the experiment for reflection inspection are as follows ; The inspection performance of the position right above the subject (Position 1) was the best among the conditions in terms of errors, while the performance of the position slightly in front of and above the subject(Position 2) was the best in terms of inspection times. Inspection time was statistically different according to the brightness conditions specifically at the position in front of the subject(Position 3). The results of the second experimen for transparent inspection are that the inspection performance at medium height (Height 2) was the best among the three conditions in terms of errors while the performance at lower height(Height 3) was the best in subject preference. Based upon both results with respect to actual field conditions, two alternative inspection station designs were proposed for each lighting conditon.

In this paper, we deal with a precise position synchronous control of four-axes system which is working under various load disturbances. Each axis driving system is consisted of a speed controller and an acceleration controller as an inner loop instead of conventional current control scheme. The acceleration control plays an important roll to suppress load disturbances quickly. Also, each axis is coupled by a maximum position synchronous error comparison to minimize position synchronous errors according to integration of speed differency. As a result, the proposed system enables precise synchronous control with good robustness against load disturbances during transient as well as steady state. The stability and robustness of the proposed system are investigated through its frequency characteristic and numerical simulations. Finally, experimental results under load disturbances demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control system fur four-axes position synchronous control.

In this paper deal with Initial Pole Position Estimation for Interior Permanent Magnet Motor. Generally, Brushless motor is considered Initial Pole Position with absolute encoder or resolver, etc. In the motor, the flux from the magnets is large enough to saturate the stator iron, results in different inductance values along the pole position. Based upon the relationship between magnitude of inductance and the resultant magnetic filed, initial pole position is estimated at standstill without position sensors, especially, this paper provide the direction of the magnetization. Finally, analysis results are presented to confirm ability of initial pole position estimation.
