This paper proposes an adaptive controller for partially known system and applies to a two-wheeled Welding Mobile Robot (WMR) to track a reference welding path at a constant velocity of the welding point. To design the tracking controller, the errors from WMR to steel wall is defined, and the controller is designed to drive the errors to zero as fast as desired. Additionally, a scheme of error measurement is implemented on the WMR to meet the need of the controller. In this paper, the system moments of inertia are considered to be partially unknown parameters which are estimated using update laws in adaptive control scheme. The simulations and experiments on a welding mobile robot show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

Attitude control law design for spacecraft large angle maneuvers is investigated in this paper. The feedback linearization technique is applied to the design of a nonlinear tracking control law. The output function to be tracked is the quaternion attitude parameter. The designed control law turns out to be a combination of attitude and attitude rate tracking commands. The attitude-only output function, therefore, leads to a stable closed-loop system following the given reference trajectory. The principal advantage of the proposed method is that it is relatively easy to produce reference trajectories and associated controller.

This paper presents a distributed maximum power point tracking (DMPPT) algorithm based on the reference voltage perturbation (RVP) method for the PV modules of a series PV string. The proposed RVP-DMPPT algorithm is developed to accurately track the maximum power point (MPP) for each PV module operating under all atmospheric conditions with a reduced hardware overhead. To study the influence of parameters such as the controller reference voltage ($V_{ref}$) and PV current ($I_{pv}$) on the PV string voltage, a small signal model of a unidirectional differential power processing (DPP) based PV-Bus architecture is developed. The steady state and dynamic performances of the proposed RVP DMPPT algorithm and small signal model of the unidirectional DPP based PV-Bus architecture are demonstrated with simulations and experimental results. The accuracy of the RVP DMPPT algorithm is demonstrated by obtaining a tracking efficiency of 99.4% from the experiment.

An Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU)-based Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) can calculate attitude and heading information with long-term accuracy and stability by combining gyro, accelerometer, and magnetic compass signals. Motivated by this characteristic of the AHRS, this paper presents a Motion-Tracking and Localization (MTL) method for a person or walking robot using multi-AHRSs. Five AHRSs are attached to the two calves, two thighs, and waist of a person/walking robot. Joints, links, and coordinate frames are defined on the body. The outputs of the AHRSs are integrated with link data. In addition, a supporting foot is distinguished from a moving foot. With this information, the locations of the joints on the local coordinate frame are calculated. The experimental results show that the presented MTL method can track the motion of and localize a person/walking robot with long-term accuracy in an infra-less environment.

본 논문에서는 스테레오 비젼 시스템의 3차원 정보에 의해 가변되는 윈도우 마스크와 광 BPEJTC(binary phase extraction joint transform correlator)를 이용하여 스테레오 카메라를 제어하는 새로운 3차원 물체추적 시스템을 제안하였다. 즉, 스테레오 비젼 시스템의 구성 요소에 의해 3차원 정보인 추적 물체까지의 거리 정보를 쉽게 구할 수 있고, 이 거리 정보로 윈도우 마스크를 가변 시켜 추적물체 영역을 추출할 수 있다. 이 추적물체 영역은 다음 기준영상으로 갱신하여 사용된다. 그리고 이 기준영상과 스테레오 입력 영상간에 광 BPEJTC를 실행하여 추적 물체의 위치 값을 구하고. 이 값으로 스테레오 카메라의 주시각과 팬/틸트를 제어하여 3차원 물체추적이 이루어진다. 실험 결과 제안한 알고리즘은 스테레오 입력 영상에서 배경잡음과 관계없이 추적 물체영역을 추출하여 3차원 물체추적이 가능하고, 이의 구현으로 3차원 원격작업 시스템이나 적응적인 3차원 물체 추적기 등의 구현 가능성을 제시하였다.

R/C helicopter has been used to several fields of military affairs, investigation searching and toys because it has small size hovering and vortical take-off characteristics etc. Therefore it needs more realizable control method. The paper introduces simulation and experimental results for control of a helicopter training simulator by self tuning control method. To realize the disturbance rejection and the given reference tracking, a least common multiple polynomial between the reference and disturbance model polynomials is operated to the plant model. The effectiveness of the method is shown by simulation and experimental results for a helicopter training simulator with two degree of freedom.

This paper presents a design scheme of model reference adaptive control incorporating a Neural Network for a pneumatic servo system. The parameters of discrete-time model of plant are estimated by using the recursive least square method. Neural Network is utilized in order to compensate the nonlinear nature of plant such as compressibility of air and frictions present in cylinder. The experiment of a trajectory tracking control using the proposed control scheme has been performed and its effectiveness has been proved by comparing with the results of a model reference adaptive control.

In this thesis, a digital tracking controller is proposed for multi-axis position control system. Tracking and contouring error exist when the machine tool moves along a trajectory in multi-axis system. The proposed scheme enhances the tracking and contouring performance by reducing the errors. Also, an optimal tracking controller reduces the tracking error by the state feedback and the feedforward compensator reduces the effects of a nonlinear disturbance such as friction or dead zone. The proposed control scheme reduces the contour error which occurred when the tool tracks the reference trajectory. Finally, the performance of the proposed controller is exemplified by some simulations and by applying the real XY servo system.
