Atmospheric Re-Entry guidance is divided as longitudinal and lateral. This paper proposes a longitudinal reference trajectory and control law using the inverse dynamics method with pseudospectral Legendre method. Application of this method into Re-Entry problem forces a power of calculation time-reduction due to unnecessary of integration or any iteration as well as sufficient accuracy convergence. The used guidance scheme is time-to-go.

This paper introduces a high-performance speed control system based on artificial neural networks(ANN) to estimate unknown parameters of a DC servo motor. The goal of this research is to keep the rotor speed of the DC servo motor to follow an arbitrary selected trajectory. In detail, the aim is to obtain accurate trajectory control of the speed, specially when the motor and load parameters are unknown. By using an artificial neural network, we can acquire unknown nonlinear dynamics of the motor and the load. A trained neural network identifier combined with a reference model can be used to achieve the trajectory control. The performance of the identification and the control algorithm are evaluated through the simulation and experiment of nonlinear dynamics of the motor and the load using a typical DC servo motor model.

This paper represents the study of an effective self-tuning PID control for a robot manipulator to track a reference trajectory in spite of the presence of nonlinearities and parameters uncertainties in robot dynamic models. In this control scheme, an error model of the manipulator is established, for the first time, by difference between joint reference trajectory and tracked trajectory. It's model Parameters are estimated by the recursive least-square identification algorithm, and classical controller parameters are determined by pole placement method. A computer simulation study was conducted to demonstrate performance of the proposed self-tuning PID control in joint-based coordinates for a robot with payload.

This paper presents a local trajectory generation method which is based on a sequence of reference posture-velocities and the efficient low level control algorithm which constructs the complete smooth curve from the trajectory specification. The reference trajectory generator(RTG) which is in between the local path planner(LPP) and the robot motion controller(RMC) generates a sequence of set-points for each path segments from the LPP and pass it to the RMC. The RMC controls the motions of vehicle which should follow the sequence. In the feedback controller of VMC, the method which compensates robot posture-velocity error correctly is used. These methods are implemented on indoor autonomous vehicle, 'ALIVE' mobile robot. The ALIVE mobile robot system is implemented on the 32bit VME bus system: the two VME CPU's are used for RTG and RMC, while the 80C196KC-based VME board is used for motor controller.

This study was carried out to de develop a control strategy of a fruit harvesting redundant robot. The method of generating a safe trajectory, which avoids collisions with obstracles such as branches or immature fruits, in the 3D(3-dimension) space using artificial potential field technique and virtual plane concept was proposed. Also, the method of setting reference velocity vectors to follow the trajectory and to avoid obstacles in the 3D space was proposed. Developed methods were verified with computer simulations and with actual robot tests. Fro the actual robot tests, a machine vision system was used for detecting fruits and obstacles, Results showed that developed control method could reduce the occurrences of the robot manipulator located in the possible collision distance. with 10 virtual obstacles generated randomly in the 3 D space, maximum rates of the occurrences of the robot manipulator located in the possible collision distance, 0.03 m, from the obstacles were 8 % with 5 degree of freedom (DOF), 8 % with 6-DOF, and 4% with 7-DOF, respectively.

This paper deals with the flexible manipulator with rotational and translational degrees of freedom, which has an arm of time-varying length with the prismatic joint. The tracking control problem of the flexible manipulator is considered. First we design the controller of the 2-type robust servo system based on the finite horizon optimal control theory for the trajectory planned as a discontinuous velocity. Next, to reduce the tracking error, we use the method of the dynamic programming and of modifying the reference trajectory in time coordinate. The simulation results show that the dynamic modeling is adequate and that the asymptotic stabilization of the flexible manipulator is preserved in spite of nonlinear terms. The PTP control error has been reduced to zero completely, and the trajectory tracking errors are reduced sufficiently by the proposed control method.

An energy-efficient reference walking trajectory generation algorithm is suggested utilizing allowable ZMP (Zero-Moment-Point) region, which maxmizes the energy efficiency for cyclic gaits, based on three-dimensional LIPM (Linear Inverted Pendulum Model) for biped robots. As observed in natural human walking, variable ZMP manipulation is suggested, in which ZMP moves within the allowable region to reduce the joint stress (i.e., rapid acceleration and deceleration of body), and hence to reduce the consumed energy. In addition, opimization of footstep planning is conducted to decide the optimal step-length and body height for a given forward mean velocity to minimize a suitable energy performance - amount of energy required to carry a unit weight a unit distance. In this planning, in order to ensure physically realizable walking trajectory, we also considered geometrical constraints, ZMP stability condition, friction constraint, and yawing moment constraint. Simulations are performed with a 12-DOF 3D biped robot model to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, we proposed the decoupling VSS controllers for a trajectory control of a two degrees of freedom SCARA type manipulator. We decoupled the position and velocity of a manipulator tip by using a nonlinear error functions. The reference inputs of the controller can be decided directly from the desired position and velocity. Simulation result is provided to verity the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

This paper proposes an optimization-based procedure to determine the parameters of the Apollo guidance law for Korean lunar lander mission. A lunar landing mission is formulated as a trajectory optimization problem to minimize the fuel consumption and the reference trajectory for the lander is obtained by solving the problem in the pre-flight phase. Some parameters of the Apollo guidance, which are coefficients of the polynomial used to define the guidance command, are selected based on the reference trajectory obtained in the pre-flight phase. A case study for the landing guidance of Korean lunar lander mission using the proposed procedure is conducted to demonstrate its effectiveness.

We present an AILC(Adaptive Iterative Learning Control) scheme and a sufficient condition for system parameter identification for uncertain robotic systems that perform the same tasks repetitively. It is guaranteed that the joint velocity and position asymptotically converge to the reference joint velocity and position, respectively. In addition, it is proved that a sufficient condition for parameter identification is the PE(Persistent Excitation) condition on the regressor matrix evaluated at the reference trajectory during the operation period. Since the regressor matrix on the reference trajectory can be easily computed prior to the real robot operation, the proposed algorithm provides a useful method to verify whether the parameter error converges to zero or not.
