This paper presents obstacle avoidance of Leader-Follower formation. The follower robot maintain the formation with leader robot and avoid the detected obstacle. When obstacle is detected, follower robot avoid it considering leader robot and follower robot position and follower robot and obstacle position. In addition, follower robot avoid obstacle irrespective of obstacle size. Controller of follower robot is designed to satisfy Lyapunov stability by backstepping method. Simulation results shows that the designed controller has a stable performance.

Localization is a very important technique for the mobile robot to navigate in outdoor environment. In this paper, the development of the sensor fusion algorithm for controlling mobile robots in outdoor environments is presented. The multi-sensorial dead-reckoning subsystem is established based on the optimal filtering by first fusing a heading angle reading data from a magnetic compass, a rate-gyro, and two encoders mounted on the robot wheels, thereby computing the dead-reckoned location. These data and the position data provided by a global sensing system are fused together by means of an extended Kalman filter. The proposed algorithm is proved by simulation studies of controlling a mobile robot controlled by a backstepping controller and a cascaded controller. Performances of each controller are compared.

Based on the state-feedback adaptive neuro-control algorithm for a SISO nonaffine pure-feedback nonlinear system proposed in [15], an output-feedback controller is proposed in this paper. The output-feedback adaptive neural-net controller for the considered nonlinear system has not been previously proposed in any other literatures yet. The proposed output-feedback controller inherits all the advantages of [15] such that it does not adopt backstepping and this results in relatively simple control and adapting laws. Only one neural network is required for the proposed adaptive controller. The proposed neural-net control scheme expands the applicable class of nonlinear systems.

This paper proposes a robust controller for flexible joint robots to achieve tracking performance and to improve robustness against both matched and mismatched disturbances. The proposed controller consists of a disturbance observer(DOB), passivity-based controller, and integral sliding mode controller(ISMC) in a backstepping manner. The DOB compensates the mismatched disturbance in the link-side and formulates the reference input for the motor-side controller. Interconnection and damping assignment passivity-based controller (IDA-PBC) performs tracking control of motor-side, and it is integrated to nominal control of ISMC to guarantee the over-all stability of the nominal system, while, matched disturbances are decoupled by the discontinuous control of ISMC. In the design of the link-side controller, PD type impedance controller is designed with DOB and this leads the continuous control input which is suitable to the reference input for the motor-side.

본 기술 특집호에서는 최근메 강인제어 분야에서 많이 주목받고 있는 사전규정 오차 구속제어기법들메 대해 기본적인 개념과 각 구속제어 기법들이 특징들을 소개한다. 기존의 제어기법들은 안정도 및 일정한 출력성능은 보장하지만 선정된 제어기 게인 값에 따라 추종성능이 민감하게 변하며 안전을 위한 제약이 없는데 반해 이러한 구속제어는 최소한의 게인 선정으로 오버슈트, 정상오차 등에 대해 사전에 규정한 성능범위를 만족하도록 강제로 구속시켜 출력성능 및 안전성이 동시에 보장되도록 한다. 이러한 구속제어는 오버슈트에 크게 영향을 받는 정밀기기 위치제어, 힘 제어에서 안전성을 확보해주며 외란이나 시스템 불확실성에 매우 강인한 특성을 갖는다. 가장 먼저 연구된 구속제어는 funnel 제어로서 시스템의 동적 모델을 포함하지 않는 비모델 기준 제어기법이다. 추종오차의 초기값이 오차에 대한 사전 구속함수로 구성된 funnel (깔데기) 안에 있으면 항상 사전메 규정된 오차범위 내에 머물도록 funnel 제어기가 작동하며 PD 제어와 구조가 유사하다. 다음으로 tanh 함수와 추종오차 변환을 결합한 방법으로서 전통적인 순환적 (recursive) 제어방법인 backstepping 제어와 결합하는 방법이다. 최종적므로 좀더 단순한 오차변환을 통해 오차에 대한 switching을 이용한 기법은 제어기 구조를 단순하게 만들고 기존의 제어기와 편리하게 결합할 수 있다. 이러한 구속제어 기법들은 또한 미지의 시스템에 특성에 대해 관측기나 지능제어를 이용한 근사함수를 요구하지 않는다. 본 특집호에서는 최근까지 연구된 구속제어에 대한 간단한 이론과 적용 결과들을 제시하기로 한다.

This paper presents gain optimization of a 6-DOF underwater robotic platform with 4 rotatable thrusters. To stabilize the 6-DOF motion of the underwater robotic platform, a back-stepping controller is designed with 6 proportional gains and 6 derivative gains. The 12 gains of the backstepping controller are optimized to decrease settling time in step response in 6-DOF motion independently. Stability criterion and overshoots are used as a constraint of the optimization problem. Trust-region algorithm and hybrid Taguchi-Random order Coordinate search algorithm are used to determine the optimal parameters, and the results by two methods are analyzed. Additionally, the resulting controller shows improved performance under disturbances.
