In this paper, we propose a new motion and force control methodology for constrained robots as an approach of hybrid discrete-continuous dynamical system. The hybrid dynamic system modeling of robotic manipulation tasks with constraints is presented, and the hybrid system control architecture for unconstrained and constrained motion system with parametric uncertainties is synthesized. The optimal reference stiffness of robot manipulator is generated by the hybrid automata as a discrete state system and the control behavior of constrained system which has poor modeling information and time-varying constraint function is improved by the constrained robots as a continuous state system. The performance of the proposed constrained motion control system is successfully evaluated via experimental studies to the constraint tasks.

Study in this paper concerns the optimal $H_{2}$ integral servo problems for linear crane model systems via the constraints of the derivatives of state variables added to the standard constraints. It is shown in the paper that the derivative state constrained optimal $H_{2}$ integral servo problems can be reduced to the standard optimal $H_{2}$ control problem. The main subject of the paper is to apply the results of derivative state constrained $H_{2}$ integral servo theorem in crane system. The effect of our proposed controller with respect to mitigate an under damping for crane model system is also verified.

This paper deals with MCMBPC(Multivariable Constrained Model Based Predictive Controller) for nonlinear boiler system with noise and disturbance. MCMBPC is designed by linear state space model obtained from some operating point of nonlinear boiler system and Kalman filter is used to estimate the state with noise and disturbance. The solution of optimization of the cost function constrained on input and/or output variables is achieved using quadratic programming, viz. singular value decomposition (SVD). The controller designed is shown to have excellent tracking performance via simulation applied to nonlinear dynamic drum boiler turbine model for 16OMW unit.

An anti-reset windup (ARW) based compensation method for state constrained control systems is studied. First, a linear controller is constructed to give a desirable nominal performance ignoring state-constraints of a plant. Then, an additional compensator is introduced to provide smooth performance degradation under state-constraints of the plant. This paper focuses on the effective design method of the additional compensator. By minimizing a reasonable performance index, the proposed compensator is expressed in terms of theplant and ocntroller parameters. The resulting dynamics of the compensated controller exhibits the dominant part of the linear closed-loop system which can be seen from the singular perturbation model reducton theory. THe proposed method guarantees total stability of overall resulting systems if linear controllers were constructed to meet certain condition.

An input constrained receding horizon predictive control algorithm for uncertain systems with nonzero set points is proposed. for constant nonzero set points, models with uncertainty can be converted into an augmented incremental system through the use of integrators and the problem is transformed into a zero-state regulation problem for the incremental system. But the original constraints on inputs are converted into constraints on the sum of control inputs at each time instants, which have not been dealt in earlier constrained robust receding horizon control problems. Recursive state bounding technique and worst case minimizing strategy developed in earlier works are applied to the augmented incremental system to yield an offset error free controller. The resulting algorithm is formulated so that it can be solved using LP.

Based on the dynamic anti-windup strategy a novel control methodology for state constrained control systems is presented. First a linear controller is designed for an open-loop stable plant to show a desirable nominal performance by ignoring state constraints. And then an additional dynamic compensator is introduced to preserve the nominal performance as closely as possible int he face of state constraints. This paper focuses on the second step under the assumption that a linear controller has already been designed appropriately by using an effective controller design method. By minimizing a reasonable performance index the dynamic compensator is derived explicitly which is expressed int he plant and controller parameters. the proposed method not only guarantees the total stability of the overall resulting systems but also provides desirable output performance because it solves the state-positioning problem completely.

This paper presents the design of an optimal state feedback controller for container cranes under some design specifications. To do this, the nonlinear equation of a container crane system is linearized and then augmented to eliminate the steady-state error, and some constraints are derived from the design specifications. Designing the controller involves a constrained optimization problem which classical gradient-based methods have difficulties in handling. Therefore, a real-coding genetic algorithm incorporating the penalty strategy is used. The responses of the proposed control system are compared with those of the unconstrained optimal control system to illustrate the efficiency.

This paper proposes a robust tracking control for constrained uncertain linear systems by combining a disturbance observer (DOB) and linear matrix inequality (LMI) based state feedback control. To this end, the state feedback control is designed for the nominal system and then a DOB based feed-forward control is added to reject uncertainties. In doing so, the DOB and state feedback controller are joined in a way that the combined control satisfies the input constraints and closed loop stability is guaranteed. Simulation results are provided to show that the proposed control scheme successfully stabilizes uncertain systems.

This research proposes measuring of BCG(ballistocardiogram) to monitor heart activities in a non-constrained environment, at home or work. Unlike with ECG, measuring BCG does not require the attachment of leads on the subject's body and allows signal measuring in a non-constrained state. It enables effective long-term monitoring of cardiac conditions. In this study a chair type BCG measurement system to continuous monitor the activity of the heart is implemented. The instrument consists of upper petal and ready for press of chair load cell sensor is attached to measure the change of the object's weight. In order to extract the output ballistic signal from the weight and force sensor signals. Beside the signal processing circuit for the digital conversion, the ballistic signal is detected using DAQ equipment. Signal processing algorithm including wavelet transforms for noise cancellation, template matching for normalization and peak detection in BCG is developed. ECG and BCG were concurrently measured to evaluate the performance of the system, and comparing the characteristics of the two signals verified the possibility of the system in non-constrained and nonconscious health monitoring.
