A continuous variable structure system control for a DC servomotor tracking controller is proposed to alleviate the chattering problems. The stability property of the proposed algorithm is analyzed in detail. The prescribed tracking error is guaranteed under load variations based on the stability analysis. Through the comparative simulations between the proposed algorithm and the conventional VSS, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is proved.

The work presented here is a design and development of sun tracking system for the parabolic dish concentrator. Parabolic dish concentrator is mounted on azimuth and elevation tracking mechanism, and controlled to track the sun with computed and measured sun positions. Sun tracking mechanism is composed of 1/30000 speed reducer(3 stages) and 400W AC servomotor for each axis. The nominal tracking speed of each axis is ${\pm}0.6^{\circ}/sec$ and the system has a driving range of $340^{\circ}$ in azimuth and of $135^{\circ}$ in elevation. Sun tracking control system consists of sun sensor, wind speed and direction measurement system, AC servomotor position control system and personal computer as a master controller. Sun sensor detects the sun located within ${\pm}50^{\circ}$ measured from the sun sensor normal direction. Computer computes the sun position, sunrise and sunset times and controls the orientation of parabolic dish concentrator through the AC servomotor position control system. It also makes a decision of whether the system should follow the sun or not based on the information collected from sun sensor and wind speed and direction measurement system. The sun tracking system developed in this work is implemented for the experimental work and shows a good sun tracking performance.

An implementation for surface EMG network analysis and vertical control system of robotic arm is presented in this paper. The transmembranes are simulated by equivalent circuit and cable equation for propagation to be converted to circuit networks. The implementation is realized to be derived from the detecting EMG signal from 3 electrodes, and EMG transmembrane signals of human arm muscles are detected by several surface electrodes, high performance amplifier and filtering, converting analog to digital data and driving a servomotor for spontaneous robotic arm. The system is experimented by monitoring multiple steps vertical control angles corresponding to biceps muscle movement. The experimental results are that the vertical moving control level is measured to around 2 degrees and mean error ranges are lower 5%.

PID control method usually has problems of overshoot and oscillation in high order control system, therefore, it is important to improve the control method so as to reduce the overshoot and oscillation. Based on MATLAB simulation, a permanent magnet (PM) DC servomotor control system is studied in this paper. The motor is modeled according to the universal motor theory, and with the help of the fourth order Ronge-Kutta method, its speed control is simulated and compared between two different dual closed-loops PWM control methods. This case study helps undergraduate students to better understand theories related to electrical engineering, such as electrical machinery, power electronics and control theory, as well as digital solution of state equations.

This paper describes the ultra precise position control of servo motor using sinusoidal encoder based on 'Arcsine Interpolation Method'. First, the paper theoretically analyzes and verify throughout experiments, the relationship between A/D converter input ripple and the total resolution to measure the precise position. Second, this paper presents a way to compensate the total gain and offset error by utilizing a low cost programmable differential amp, by which without any special expensive equipments they are easily on-line tuned and effectively compensated. Lastly, it was compared to servomotor position control characteristics using digital incremental 50,000ppr encoder. The test results show that, with much cheaper sinusoidal encoder, the proposed method exhibits better performance both in position control and ASD applications than the 50,000ppr optical encoder.

This paper proposes a method of learning control in DC servomotor using a neural network. First we estimate the pulse transfer function of the servo system with an unknown load, then we determine the best gains of I-PD control system using a neural network. Each time the load changes, its best gains of the I-PD control system is computed by the neural network. And the best gains and its pulse transfer function for the case are stored in the memory. According the increase of the set of gains and its pulse transfer function, the learning control system can afford the most suitable I-PD gains instantly.

This paper proposes a method of suboptimal control for DC servomotor using a neural network. First we consider a nonlinear observer which is constructed by using an approximated linear dynamics of the nonlinear system and a, neural network. The reccurent neural network is used for the learning of the dynamical system. Next we consider the nonlinear observer. Then, we apply the observer output to nonlinear optimal regulator and confirm the effectiveness by applying the method to the inverse pendulum system.

Since a snake achieves various movements just by a slender body, the mechanism of it is very amazing Many researches have been focusing on a snake like robot and have done for it on the ground. However the meander motion of the snake not only can be done by ground creatures, but also can be done by a water creature such as a sea snake or an eel. Therefore, the purpose of our research is to develop an autonomous underwater robot like the sea snake. As an approach to this goal, we develop an experimental sea snake-like-robot for examining basic characteristics, including propulsion, a turning and other performance. Our developed robot is composed of the head and 4 bodies. Each body equips one servomotor, which is operated with pulse signal. In the head unit, 1- chip-microcomputer, which generates the servomotor control signal for realizing a snake motion and the battery, is equipped. Our robot is covered with a rubber film for the waterproof. Using our developed robot, characteristics of the snake-like-robot moved in water are examined.

In recent years, a.c servomotors have been gradually replacing d.c servomotors in various high-performance applications such as machine tools and industrial robots. Inparticular, the high performance slip-frequency control of an induction motor, which is often called the vector control, is considered ane of th ebest a.c drives. In this paper, the transient state equations and vector control algorithms of an induction type servomotor are described mathematically by using the two- axis theory (d-q coordinates). According to the result of these algorithms, we scheme the speed control system for the motor in which the vector control is adopted to give high performance. Motor drive through a PWM inverter with power MOSFET is controlled so that the actual input current to the motor may track the current reference obtained from a micro-computer (8086 CPU). Driving experiments are performed in the range of 0 to 3000 rpm, and it is verified that high speed response is obtained for this system.

This paper presents a tip position control of a single-link flexible arm with a payload by using closed loop control. The shifting problem of the arm from the initial position to desired position is considered by the variation of the displacement gain $G_{p}$ and velocity gain $G_{v}$. The system is composed of a flexible arm with payload, DC servomotor, and a ballscrew mechanism. The flexible arm is mounted on a mobile stage driven by a servomotor and ballscrew. As a result, the increase of the displacement and velocity gain respectively comes to the reduction of tip vibration. Theoretical results are approximately in good agreement with those obtained experimentally.y.y.
