In order to model a Wheeled Mobile Robot (WMR) system to improve its maneuverability in a real environment, wheel dynamics, which may violate no-slipping and pure rolling constraints, needs to be studied. In this paper, wheel dynamics with slip is modeled and introduced into the robot overall dynamics. Wheel slip phenomenon is captured and at the same time accommodated. Considering both lateral and longitudinal slip phenomena due to traction, a WMR system becomes an underactuated dynamic system. A time-invariant discontinuous feedback law is developed to asymptotically stabilize the system to the desired configuration with exponential convergence rate. Simulation results are provided to validate the theoretical results.

The paper describes a Neuro Active Force Control (NAFC) method that is applied to control a vertical moving mass (trolley) actuated by a fluidic muscle or pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM). The NAFC is in effect coupled to a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller and was practically implemented on a physical test rig that was developed in the laboratory. The effectiveness of the proposed controller was verified through the experiments, which suggests its superior performance in terms trajectory tracking control capability and disturbance suppression.

In ANN terminology, the synaptic connections are the weights of the neural networks and can be seen as an interaction between neurons. In this paper, we consider two simple neurons which have both self-coupling and non-invertible activation functions. Our studies on these interactions lead to different dynamical behaviors of the network. We show that they can be used as a means of chaos generation or suppression to neuron's outputs when more adaptability or stability is required. This idea may be further used for chaos synchronization of neuron's outputs.

Training set is one of the main critical sections in Neural Network, generating of it with prior knowledge can be extremely efficient. In this paper we have tried to explore the potential of using previously generated training set (not randomly) for the training of Dynamic Neural Network. The neural network was used as the core of identifier which tries to identify the internal behavior of structure-unknown non-linear time variant dynamic system.

Networked control systems (NCS) have gained an increasing attention in recent years due to their flexibility and cost reduction. The two main problems affecting stability and performance of closed-loop NCS are packet delay and drop. The problem of delay is severe in large scale NCS where the sensor-controller-actuator are connected via a network with large number of switches and routers. In this paper, we propose a real time optimization algorithm, called Asexual Reproduction Optimization (ARO) which is inspired by asexual reproduction, to find the least delay link in the control loop. Simulation results reveal that the proposed algorithm remarkably outperforms the recently cited Genetic Algorithm (GA) in finding the minimum delay link.

In this paper, a new desktop orthogonal-type robot with a CAD/CAM-based position/force controller is presented for finishing small metallic molds with curved surface. The robot consists of a three-axis robot whose single one has a high position accuracy of 1 µm, which means that it can perform higher resolutions of position and force, compared to general industrial robots. A thin wood stick tool with a ball-end tip is attached to the z-axis through a force sensor. The control system of the robot is comprised of a force feedback loop, position feedback loop and position feedforward loop. The force feedback loop controls the polishing force consisting of tool contact force and kinetic friction forces. The position feedback loop controls the position in pick feed direction. Further, the position feedforward loop leads the tool tip along a spiral path. We first evaluate the backlash that causes inaccuracy in position at the tip of the abrasive tool, by simply measuring the position and force. Next, a surface following control experiment along a lens mold is conducted, in which the mold has axis-symmetric concave areas. Finally, a LED lens mold is further finished by using the proposed system in order to demonstrate the performance and promise.

In this paper, the observer-based stabilization of unstable equilibrium points of a class of unknown nonlinear systems is proposed. The controller is based on feedback linearization where the observer system and control signal are directly estimated by a nonlinear in parameter neural network (NLPNN). A modified Back Propagation (BP) algorithm with e-modification was used to update the weights of the network. Globally uniformly ultimately boundedness of overall closed-loop system is ensured using Lyapunov's direct method. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed observer-based controller, a set of simulations was performed on a Rossler and Lorenz chaotic systems.

In this paper the new algorithm SUHICLUST (SUpervised HIerarchical CLUSTering) is presented. It unifies the strengths of the supervised, incremental construction scheme LOLIMOT with the advantages of product space clustering. The result of this fusion is a powerful structure identification algorithm that enables approximation of processes with axes-oblique partitioning, high flexible validity functions and local polynomial models. The theoretical comparison with LOLIMOT and product space clustering and a demonstration example underline the usefulness of SUHICLUST.

This paper presents the assessment of using Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) technology to design a stand-alone Electrical Capacitance Tomography (ECT) system. ECT application is manifested by computationally intensive image reconstruction algorithms requiring fast processing of large amounts of data. To date, reconfigurable hardware has not been used in the area of electrical tomography. Furthermore, the experimental results show that using the FPGA as a hardware platform to realize ECT system achieves superior performance in terms of speed and design compactness compared to DSP implementation.

This paper presents new stability conditions for Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) descriptors. Thanks to the descriptor redundancy, LMI based controller design of less conservatism are derived. These conditions are obtained using a fuzzy Non Quadratic Lyapunov function (NQLF) approach with a non-Parallel-Distributed-Compensation (Non-PDC) control law. First, stabilization without constraints is considered for the sake of genericity. Then, H∞ based controller design is proposed in order to deal with the stability of closed loop descriptors subject to external disturbances. Finally, a numerical example is proposed to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed approaches.
