The path following problem of a ship sailing in restricted waters under wind effect is investigated based on Robust $H_{\infty}$ Guaranteed Cost Control (RHGCC). To design the controller, the ship maneuvering motion is modeled as a linear uncertain system with norm-bounded time-varying parametric uncertainty. To counteract the bank and wind effects, the integral of path error is augmented to the original system. Based on the extended linear uncertain system, sufficient conditions for existence of the RHGCC are given. To obtain an optimal robust $H_{\infty}$ guaranteed cost control law, a convex optimization problem with Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) constraints is formulated, which minimizes the guaranteed cost of the close-loop system and mitigates the effect of external disturbance on the performance output. Numerical simulations have confirmed the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed control strategy for the path following goal of a ship sailing in restricted waters under wind effect.

This paper proposes a flow-based admission control algorithm through an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) based Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) network for multiple service class environments of Integrated Service (IntServ) and Differentiated Service (DiffServ). We propose the Integrated Packet Scheduler to accommodate IntServ and Best Effort traffic through the DiffServ-aware MPLS core network. The numerical results of the proposed algorithm achieve reliable delay-bounded Quality of Service (QoS) performance and reduce the blocking probability of high priority service in the DiffServ model. We show the performance behaviors of IntServ traffic negotiated by end users when their packets are delivered through the DiffServ-aware MPLS core network. We also show that ATM shortcut connections are well tuned with guaranteed QoS service. We validate the proposed method by numerical analysis of its performance in such areas as throughput, end-to-end delay and path utilization.

The system error model for the compensation of the low-cost personal navigation system is derived and the error compensation method using GPS is also proposed. The walking navigation system (WNS) that calculates navigation information through walking detection has small error than INS, but the error also increases with time. In order to improve reliability of the system regardless of time, WNS is integrated with GPS. Since WNS is usually used in urban area, the blockage of CPS signal is frequently occurred. Therefore tightly coupled Kalman filter is used for the integration of WNS and GPS. In this paper, the system model for the design of tightly coupled Kかm filter is designed and measurement is linearized in consideration of moving distance error. It is shown by Monte Carlo simulation that the error is bounded even through the number of visible satellite is less than 4.

A control structure that makes possible the integration of a kinematic controller and a fuzzy logic (FL) deadzone compensator for mobile robots is presented. A tuning algorithm is given for the fuzzy logic parameters, so that the deadzone compensation scheme becomes adaptive, guaranteeing small tracking errors and bounded parameter estimates. Formal nonlinear stability proofs are given to show that the tracking error is small. The fuzzy logic deadzone compensator is implemented on a mobile robot to show its efficacy.

In deterministic design of feedback controllers for uncertain dynamical systems, the bound on the uncertainty is an important clue to guarantee the asymptotic stability or uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop system. In this paper, using only the measurable output we propose an adaptation law for the estimation of the bound of the uncertainty. And based on this adaptation law an adaptive control which renders the uncertain dynamical systems uniformly ultimately bounded is constructed.

This paper studies the problem of the sampled-data control for Lur'e system with nonlinearities. The nonlinearities are expressed as convex combinations of sector and slope bounds. It is assumed that the sampling periods are arbitrarily varying but bounded. By constructing a new augmented Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional which have an augmented quadratic form with states as well as the nonlinear function, the stabilizing sampled-data controller gains are obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. The effectiveness of the developed method is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

A new discretization algorithm for nonlinear systems with delayed input is proposed. The algorithm is represented by Taylor series expansion and ZOH assumption. This method is applied to the sampled-data representation of a nonlinear system with the time-delay input. Additionally, the delay in input is time varying and its amplitude is bounded. The maximum time-delay in input is assumed to be two sampling periods. The mathematical expressions of the discretization method are presented and the ability of the algorithm is tested for some of the examples. The computer simulation proves the proposed algorithm discretizes the nonlinear system with the variable time-delay input accurately.

In this paper, the robust adaptive controller design scheme is studied for nonlinear systems in the presence of bounded disturbances A new robust adaptive controller is designed using high-order neural networks, which avoids the singularity problem in adaptive nonlinear control. The stability of the resulting adaptive system with the proposed adaptive controller si guaranteed by suitably choosing the design parameters and initial conditions. I addition, the proposed adaptive controller provides improved transient performance and fast on-line adaptation. The ability and effectiveness of the proposed adaptive control scheme is shown trough simulations of a simple nonlinear system.

The Controller Area Network (CAN) is being widely used for real-time control application and small-scale distributed computer controller systems. However, CAN may exhibit unfair behavior under heavy traffic conditions. When there are both high and low priority messages ready for transmission, the proposed precedence priority filtering method allows one low priority message to be exchanged between any two adjacent higher priority messages. In this way, the length of each transmission delays is upper bounded. These procedures are implemented as local controllers for the ISHURO (Inha Semyung Humanoid RObot).

This paper focuses on congestion control for ATM network with uncertain time-variant delays. The time-variant delays can be distinguished into two distinct components. The first one that is represented by time-variant queueing delays in the intermediate switches is occurred in the return paths of RM cells. The next one is a forward path delay. It is solved by the VBR Model which quantifies the data propagation from the sources to the switch. Robust $H_{\infty}$ control is studied for solving congestion problem with norm-bounded time-varying uncertain parameters. The suitable robust $H_{\infty}$ controller is obtained from the solution of a convex optimization problem including terms of LMIs.
