In this paper we study the performance of the measurement time-delay estimation of tightly-coupled GPS/INS(Global positioning system/Inertial Navigation system) system. Generally, the heading error estimation performance of loosely-coupled GPS/INS system using GPS's Navigation Solution is poor. In the case of tightly-coupled GPS/INS system using pseudo-range and pseudo-range rate, the heading error estimation performance is better. However, the time-delay error on the measurement(pseudo-range rate) make the heading error estimation performance degraded. So that, we propose the time-delay model on the measurement and compose the time-delay estimator. And we confirm that the heading error estimation performance in the case of measurement time-delay existence is similar with the case of no-delay by Monte-Carlo simulation.

This paper is concerned with a transfer alignment method for the SDINS under ship motions. Major error sources of transfer alignment are data transfer time-delay, lever-arm velocity and ship body flexure. Specifically, to reduce alignment errors induced by measurement time-delay effects, the error compensation method through delay state augmentation is suggested. A linearized error model for the velocity and attitude matching transfer alignment system is first derived by linearizing the nonliner measurement equation with respect to its time delay and augmenting the delay state into the conventional linear state equations. And then it is shown via observability analysis and computer simulations that the delay state can be estimated and compensated during ship motions resulting in considerably less alignment errors.

An X-band microwave photonic (MWP) filter using switch-based fiber-optic delay lines has been proposed and experimentally demonstrated. It is composed of two electro-optic modulators (EOMs) and $2{\times}2$ optical MEMS-switch-based fiber-optic delay lines. By changing time-delay difference and coefficients of each wavelength signal by using fiber-optic delay lines and an electro-optic modulator, respectively, a bandpass filter or a notch filter can be implemented. For an X-band MWP filter with four channel elements, fiber-optic delay lines with the unit time-delay of 50 ps have been experimentally realized and the frequency responses corresponding to the time-delays has been measured. The measured frequency response error at center frequency and the time-delay difference error were 180 MHz at 10 GHz and 3.2 ps, respectively, when the fiber-optic delay line has the time-delay difference of 50 ps.

In this paper, impacts of tropospheric delay gradient correction on PPP positioning performance were analyzed. A correction for tropospheric delay error due to the gradient was created and applied using external data, and reference station data were collected on a sunny day and a rainy day to analyze the GPS only dual-frequency PPP positioning results. As a result, on the sunny day, the convergence time was about 35 minutes and the final 3D position error was 10 cm, regardless of whether the correction for the tropospheric delay error by the gradient was applied. On the other hand, on the rainy day, the 3D position error converges only when the correction was applied, and the convergence time was about 34 minutes. Furthermore, the final 3D position error was improved from 30 cm to 10 cm. In addition, the analysis of the PPP by reference station location on the rainy day showed that the PPP positioning performance was improved when the correction was applied to a user located in an area where the weather changes.

For the requirement of accurate tracking control and the safety of physical human-robot interaction, torque control is basically desirable for humanoid robots. Because of the complexity of humanoid robot dynamics, the TDC (time-delay control) is practical because it does not require a dynamic model. However, there occurs a considerable error due to discontinuous non-linearities. To solve this problem, the TDC-FLC (fuzzy logic compensator) is applied to humanoid robots. The applied controller contains three factors: a TDE (time-delay estimation) factor, a desired error dynamic factor, and FLC to suppress the TDE error. The TDC-FLC is easy to execute because it does not require complicated humanoid dynamic calculations and the heuristic fuzzy control rules are intuitive. TDC-FLC is implemented on the 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 TDC-FLC for humanoid robots.

In this paper, we design the $H_{\infty}$ controllers satisfying robust stability and performance for underwater vehicle. The underwater vehicle has computations delay time and input delay. In addition, there exist parameter uncertainties by the roll motion coefficient error, buoyance error, and gravity error. We design the $H_{\infty}$ controllers using model-matching method and check the performance of the proposed controller by nonlinear simulation which includes time delay model, sensor error model, and actuator model.

In this paper, we use a fuzzy algorithm to detect and diagnose the error which is caused by time delay of the computer-controlled system. Generally, a computer-controlled system is composed of computer and process. And they communicate the data each other. In data communication, error occurs by some reasons, such as noise, disturbance, hardware defect, etc. Time delay is one of the reasons. And time delay makes it difficult to distinguish whether the system really has a problem or not. Therefore, we need to detect and diagnose the error from time delay. For difficulty of modeling and ambiguity of classification, we use a fuzzy algorithm. To verify the better performance of the proposed algorithm, we exemplified by some simulation results.

Recently, internet-based applications can be found easily in various felds. Internet-based telerobot system becomes one of important applications of internet. Among many important technological issues on the internet-based telerobot, time-delay is inherently critical problem to be solved. Time-delay is classified as micro time-delay and macro time-delay in this paper. Algorithms for compensation of path-error and time-error are proposed for the both types of time-delays using fuzzy logic since fuzzy logic is one of the best tools to represent expert's knowledge. Simulation results show the validity of the proposed algorithms.

Integral Error and State Feedback (IESF) controller which incorporates state feedback as a modern control scheme and integral action as a classical control scheme has better performance than that of conventional PID controller in linear time invariant system. But the structure of the IESF controller requires all the state variables of the system and is applicable only to pole assignable linear time invariant systems without time delay. Many industrial processes have large time delay and it is impossible to directly apply IESF control scheme to those processes. In this paper, a new controller structure, Modified Integral Error and State Feedback (MIESF) has been suggested in order to effectively control processes having time delay and its performance has been analyzed and its effectiveness has also been confirmed. As the proposed controller uses output feedback scheme based on integral error and state feedback (IESF) method, it can be simply designed by pole assignment algorithm irrespective of the order of the process. The MIESF controller can follow setpoint changes without overshoot. It is robuster than conventional Smith-Predictor plus PI(D) controller in case of occurring time delay mismatch and extra parameter mismatches between the process and the model. It can enhance control performance by intentional time delay mismatch.
