A CCD camera with a laser stripe was applied to realize the automatic weld seam tracking in GMAW. It takes relatively long time to process image on-line control using the basic Hough transformation, but it has a tendency of robustness over the noises such as spatter and arc tight. For this reason, it was complemented with adaptive Hough transformation to have an on-line processing ability for scanning specific weld points. The adaptive Hough transformation was used to extract laser stripes and to obtain specific weld points. The 3-dimensional information obtained from the vision system made it possible to generate the weld torch path and to obtain the information such as width and depth of weld line. In this study, a neural network based on the generalized delta rule algorithm was adapted for the process control of GMA, such as welding speed, arc voltage and wire feeding speed.

The amount of container freight continuously has been increased. and the low efficiency of container crane causes jamming frequently in transportation and cargo handling at port. The conventional control techniques based on a mathematical model are not well suited for dealing with ill-defined and uncertain systems. Recently. Fuzzy control has been successfully applied to a wide variety of practical problems as robots. automatic train operation system. etc. In this paper. a fuzzy controller for container crane is proposed to accomplish a design of improved control system for minimizing the swing motion at destination. In this scheme a mathematical model for the system is obtained in state space form. Finally. to exhibit the tracking performance and robustness of the proposed controller. computer simulations were carried out with various references, parameter variations and disturbances.

For minimum phase systems, the conventional fuzzy logic controllers (FLCs) use the error and the change-of-error as fuzzy input variables. Then the control rule table is a skew symmetric type, that is, it has UNLP (Upper Negative and Lower Positive) or UPLN property. This property allowed to design a single-input FLC (SFLC) that has many advantages. But its control parameters are not automatically adjusted to the situation of the controlled plant. That is, the adaptability is still deficient. We here design a single-input direct adaptive FLC (SDAFLC). In the AFLC, some parameters of the membership functions characterizing the linguistic terms of the fuzzy rules are adjusted by an adaptive law. The SDAFLC is designed by a stable error dynamics. We prove that its closed-loop system is globally stable in the sense that all signals involved are bounded and its tracking error converges to zero asymptotically. We perform computer simulations using a nonlinear plant and compare the control performance between the SFLC and the SDAFLC.

Generally a TV broadcast video of ball sports is composed from those of multiple cameras strategically mounted around a stadium under the supervision of a master director. The director decides which camera the current view should be from and how the camera work should be. In this paper, such a decision rule is based on the 3D location of ball which is the result of multi-view tracking. While current TV sports broadcast are accompanied with professional cameramen and expensive equipments, our system requires few video cameras and no cameraman. The resulted videos were stable and informative enough to convey the flow of a match.

Because of simple control algorithm and easy implementation, the conventional PI controller has been widely used in industrial application. But, it is very difficult to find the optimal PI control gain. Therefore, in improperly tuned PI controller or parameter variation, to obtain optimal performance, the novel PI controller, which consist of conventional PI controller and 4-rule based fuzzy logic, are presented in this paper. The novel PI controller which exhibits a stabilizing effects on the closed-loop system, has good robustness regarding the improperly tuned PI controller or parameter variation. The simulations are performed to verify the capability of proposed control method on induction motor.

For a class of single-input single-output continuous-time nonlinear systems, a multilayer neural network-based controller that feedback-linearizes the system is presented. Control action is used to achieve tracking performance for a state-feedback linearizable but unknown nonlinear system. The multilayer neural network(NN) is used to approximate nonlinear continuous function to any desired degree of accuracy. The weight-update rule of multilayer neural network is derived to satisfy Lyapunov stability. It is shown that all the signals in the closed-loop system are uniformly bounded. Initialization of the network weights is straightforward.

The operation of a reservoir system is necessary for establishing the operation rule as well as designing the reservoirs for water resources planning or management. Increasingly complex water resource systems require more advanced operation techniques. As a result, various techniques have been introduced and applied until now. In this study Linear Tracking model based on optimal control theory is applied to the operation of the largest scale multi-reservoir system in the Han river and its applicability proved. This system normally supplies the water resources required downstream for hydro-power and plays a role in satisfying the water demand of the Capital region. For the optimal use of the water resources the Linear Tracking model is designed with the objective to maximize the hydro-power energy subject to the water supply demand. The multi-reservoir system includes the seven main reservoirs in IIan river such as Hwachon, Soyanggang, Chunchon, Uiam, Cheongpyong, Chungju and Paldang. These reservoirs have been monthly operated for the past 21 years. Operation results are analyzed with respect to both hydro"power energy and water supply. Additionally the efficiency of the technique is assessed.sessed.

Tracking and exploiting instantaneous spectrum opportunities are fundamental challenges in opportunistic spectrum access (OSA) in presence of the bursty traffic of primary users and the limited spectrum sensing capability of secondary users. In order to take advantage of the history of spectrum sensing and access decisions, a sequential decision framework is widely used to design optimal policies. However, many existing schemes, based on a partially observed Markov decision process (POMDP) framework, reveal that optimal policies are non-stationary in nature which renders them difficult to calculate and implement. Therefore, this work pursues stationary OSA policies, which are thereby efficient yet low-complexity, while still incorporating many practical factors, such as spectrum sensing errors and a priori unknown statistical spectrum knowledge. First, with an approximation on channel evolution, OSA is formulated in a multi-armed bandit (MAB) framework. As a result, the optimal policy is specified by the wellknown Gittins index rule, where the channel with the largest Gittins index is always selected. Then, closed-form formulas are derived for the Gittins indices with tunable approximation, and the design of a reinforcement learning algorithm is presented for calculating the Gittins indices, depending on whether the Markovian channel parameters are available a priori or not. Finally, the superiority of the scheme is presented via extensive experiments compared to other existing schemes in terms of the quality of policies and optimality.

The fuzzy self-tuning PID controller is a PID controller with a fuzzy logic mechanism for tuning its gains on-line. In this structure, the proportional, integral and derivative gains are tuned on-line with respect to the change of the output of system under control. This paper deals with two types of fuzzy self-tuning PID controllers, rule-based fuzzy PID controller and learning fuzzy PID controller. As a medical application of fuzzy PID controller, the proposed controllers were implemented and evaluated in a laparoscopic surgery robot system. The proposed fuzzy PID structures maintain similar performance as conventional PID controller, and enhance the position tracking performance over wide range of varying input. For precise approximation, the fuzzy PID controller was realized using the linear reasoning method, a type of product-sum-gravity method. The proposed controllers were compared with conventional PID controller without fuzzy gain tuning and was proved to have better performance in the experiment.
