The existing underwater vehicle controller design is applied by linearizing the nonlinear dynamics model to a specific motion section. Since the linear controller has unstable control performance in a transient state, various studies have been conducted to overcome this problem. Recently, there have been studies to improve the control performance in the transient state by using reinforcement learning. Reinforcement learning can be largely divided into value-based reinforcement learning and policy-based reinforcement learning. In this paper, we propose the roll controller of underwater vehicle based on Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient(DDPG) that learns the control policy and can show stable control performance in various situations and environments. The performance of the proposed DDPG based roll controller was verified through simulation and compared with the existing PID and DQN with Normalized Advantage Functions based roll controllers.

The flight control of aircraft, which has nonlinear time-varying dynamic characteristics depending on the various and unexpected external conditions, can be performed on two motions: longitudinal motion and lateral motion. In the longitudinal motion control of aircraft, pitch and trust are major control parameters and roll and yaw are control ones in the lateral motion control. Until now, a number of efficient and reliable control schemes that can guarantee the stability and maneuverability of the aircraft have been developed. Recently, the intelligent flight control scheme, which differs from the conventional control strategy requiring the various and complicate procedures such as the wind tunnel and environmental experiments, has attracted attention. In this paper, an intelligent longitudinal control scheme has been proposed utilizing Interval Type-2 fuzzy logic which can be recognized as a representative intelligent control methodology. The results will be verified through computer simulation with a F-4 jet fighter.

Tension control performance is very important in high-speed printing machine. One of the major factors that effect to tension control performance is the process of roll changing. Even if the turret arm moves during roll changing process and the span length of the unwinding system varies, it is customary to neglect it in motion and tension control and to consider it as a disturbance. In this paper, its effect is modeled nonlinearly and compared with linear model, and an effect of an infeeder dancer is analyzed under the condition with no unwinder dancer. We verify the performance of the proposed method via simulation in the high-speed printing machine.

Stabilizer fins are installed on each side of a ship to control its roll motion. The most common stabilizer fin is a rolling control system that uses the lift force on the fin surface. If the angle of attack of a stabilizer fin is zero or the speed is zero, it cannot control the roll motion. The Coanda effect is well known to generate lift force in marine field. The performance of stabilizer fin that applies the Coanda effect has been verified by model tests and numerical simulations. It was found that a stabilizer fin that applied the Coanda effect at Cj = 0.085 and a zero angle of attack exactly coincided with that of the original fin at α = 26°. In addition, the power needed to generate the Coanda effect was not high compared to the motor power of the original stabilizer fin.

The MPI CyberMotion Simulator provides a unique motion platform, as it features an anthropomorphic robot with a large workspace, combined with an actuated cabin and a linear track for lateral movement. This paper introduces the simulator as a tool for studying human perception, and compares its characteristics to conventional Stewart platforms. Furthermore, an experimental evaluation is presented in which multimodal human control behavior is studied by identifying the visual and vestibular responses of participants in a roll-lateral helicopter hover task. The results show that the simulator motion allows participants to increase tracking performance by changing their control strategy, shifting from reliance on visual error perception to reliance on simulator motion cues. The MPI CyberMotion Simulator has proven to be a state-of-the-art motion simulator for psychophysical research to study humans with various experimental paradigms, ranging from passive perception experiments to active control tasks, such as driving a car or flying a helicopter.

The floating pier is a representative type of floating structure installed along the coast, primarily used as a facility for berthing and mooring ships. Additionally, ongoing attempts have been made to utilize it for various purposes, such as wave control and wave energy conversion structures. In this study, we experimentally investigated the reflection and motion characteristics of a pile-moored floating pier, which allows heave and limited roll motion, with respect to the presence of perforated structures and the attachment of submerged plates. The hydraulic experiment results indicated that the reflection and motion characteristics of the pile-moored floating pier were significantly influenced by the presence and installation depth of the submerged plates, rather than the presence of perforated structures on the floating body. In particular, the installation of submerged plates increased the reflection coefficient in short-period waves and effectively reduced the heave and roll motions of the floating body.

In this paper, roll/yaw attitude control of spacecraft using a double gimbaled wheel is discussed with two feedback controllers designed. One is a PD controller with no phase difference between roll and yaw control input. The other is a PD controller with a phase lag compensator about the yaw control input. The phase lag compensator is designed as a first order system and a lag parameter is designed for the yaw angle control. There are two case simulations for each controller ; constant disturbance torques and initial errors of nutation at motion. We obtain the results through simulations that steady-state error and rising time of yaw angle are determined by the compensator. Simulation parameters used in this study are the values of KOREASAT F1.

This paper is proposed about three axis motion control camera design method based on wires. Original motion control camera consists of track, boom, L-Head, Camera and so on and is enormous and expensive. But proposed motion control camera adjusts wire length using encoders and motors. And position control use position based straight line of straight-line move method for moving precise position. Proposed simple design is able to use various place and inexpensive than original motion control camera. But, camera was vibrated and rotated due to basic property of wire. So we proposed solutions that connected method of wire and using a tensional object for reducing rotation. For proposed algorithm verification, we realized three axis motion control camera based on wire and measured oscillation while moving same trace. We confirmed the results that standard deviation of oscillation was reduced 4.93 degree than before design method.

This paper presents an integrated roll-pitch-yaw autopilot using an equivalent based sliding mode control for skid-to-turn nonlinear time-varying missile system with lumped disturbances in its six-equations of motion. The considered missile model are developed to integrate the model uncertainties, external disturbances, and parameters perturbation as lumped disturbances. Moreover, it considers the coupling effect between channels, the variation of missile velocity and parameters, and the aerodynamics nonlinearity. The presented approach is employed to achieve a good tracking performance with robustness in all missile channels simultaneously during the entire flight envelope without demand of accurate modeling or output derivative to avoid the noise existence in the real missile system. The proposed autopilot consisting of a two-loop structure, controls pitch and yaw accelerations, and stabilizes the roll angle simultaneously. The Closed loop stability is studied. Numerical simulation is provided to evaluate performance of the suggested autopilot and to compare it with an existing autopilot in the literature concerning the robustness against the lumped disturbances, and the aforesaid considerations. Finally, the proposed autopilot is integrated in a six degree of freedom flight simulation model to evaluate it with several target scenarios, and the results are shown.

Container ships are prone to move at a greater speed compared to other merchant ships. The slenderness of the hull of container vessel is for better speed, but it leads to unfavorable motions. The pitch and roll are related and sometimes the vessel might be forced to parametric roll condition which is very dangerous. A fin attached to the ship hull proves to be more efficient in controlling the pitch. The fin is fitted at a lowest possible location of the hull surface and it is at the bow part of the ship. Simulations are done using proven software package ANSYS AQWA and the results are compared. Simulations are done for both regular and irregular seas and the effect of fin on ship motion is studied. P-M spectrum is considered for various sea states.
