Reliable and cost-effective control of spacecraft should account for modeling uncertainties, unexpected disturbances,, subsystem failures, and limited resources simultaneously. This paper presents an indirect (nonregressor-based) approach to attitude tracking control of spacecraft. It is shown that the control algorithms developed are not only robust against external disturbances and adaptive to unknown and time-varying mass/inertia properties, but also able to accommodate actuator failures under limited thrusts. All are achieved with inexpensive online computations (a feature of practical importance in reducing the usage of onboard resources in terms of computing power and memory size). Furthermore, this method is user/designer friendly in that it does not involve a time-consuming design procedure and demands little redesigning or reprogramming during vehicle operation. The benefits of the proposed control method are analytically authenticated and also validated via simulation study.

We introduce particle swarm optimization (PSO) into adaptive polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) compensation in a 40-Gb/s optical time-division-multiplexing communication system. In the searching process for automatic PMD compensation, the PSO algorithm has the merits of rapid convergence to the global optimum, without being trapped in local suboptima, and good robustness to noise. In this letter, we describe how to implement PSO as a component of a control algorithm in adaptive PMD compensation. Performance comparisons between global and local versions of PSO were carried out theoretically and experimentally. We also demonstrate that a time-varying PMD can be successfully tracked using the PSO technique.

Semi-active control systems have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years because these systems can operate on battery power alone, proving advantageous during seismic events when the main power source of the structure may likely fail. The behavior of semi-active devices is often highly non-linear and requires suitable and efficient control algorithm. This paper presents the comparative study and performance of variable semi-active friction dampers by using recently proposed predictive control law with direct output feedback. In this control law, the variable slip force of semi-active variable friction damper is kept slightly lower than the critical friction force, which allows the damper to remain in the slip state during an earthquake, resulting in improved energy dissipation capability. This control algorithm is able to produce a continuous and smooth slip forces for a variable friction damper. The numerical examples include a structure controlled with multiple variable semi-active friction dampers and with multiple passive friction dampers. A parameter, gain multiplier defined as the ratio of damper force to critical damper control force, is investigated under four different real earthquake ground motions, which plays an important role in the present control algorithm of the damper. The numerically evaluated optimum parametric value is considered for the analysis of the structure with dampers. The numerical results of the variable friction dampers show better performance over the passive dampers in reducing the seismic response of structures.

The prototype algorithm of Human Simulated Intelligent control leads to the overshoot easily, it can not simulate human control Strategies completely. The modified algorithm of HSIC which is called Human-Like Intelligent control is pointed out in this paper, it divides control process into three stages: initial stage, adjusting stage and eliminating disturbance stage. The different control algorithms will be used in different stage, the control method do its best to simulate human control intelligences more nearly. The test results are given , it proves that the experimental result of the prototype algorithm is relatively stable but oscillating, the experimental result of the modified algorithm is better than the prototype algorithm, there is a consistency among stability, fast response and the best accuracy. The HLIC can be used in the process control.

Laser tracking system (LTS) is a portable 3D large size coordinate measuring machines (CMM), it measures 3D coordinates with laser beam by following a spherically mounted retro-reflector (SMR) with the advantages of broad range, high speed and high accuracy. However, the current inspecting task of LTS is performed manually to move SMR along the different position on the surface of a given part and measured with the trial-and-error approach. In order to perform LTS more efficiently and automatically, this paper has developed a laser guided measurement robot (LGMR) based on a new theory "laser beam moving and SMR tracking" instead of the traditional method "SNM moving and laser beam tracking". A systematic control algorithm of generating optimal inspection planning based on CAD-directed model is proposed for LGMR to inspect free-form surfaces. The control algorithm not only generates the movement orientation, position and optimal distance for LGMR, but also a consistent and efficient inspection process that can avoid the unnecessary trials in manual operations and reduce inaccuracy and inconsistency due to different operators. The experiment result has demonstrated that the inspection planning control algorithm can be integrated to the LGMR and generated automated scanning process under automaticity and accuracy constraints.

A new dynamic reactive power compensation technique for dynamic var compensator is presented. This paper presents the DC capacitor voltage control strategy, the loss current variation control algorithm and a new reactive current calculating method. And the desired compensating current is compared with the measurement of output current in the hysteretic current feedback-loop. Based on the analysis, a newstyle dynamic var compensation control strategy is realized. It also analyzes the relationship between DC capacitor voltage variation characteristic and the active and reactive power flow between AC and DC sides. A novel dynamic var compensation prototype is developed. The experimental waveforms of the prototype show that this control algorithm has the expected compensating performance, demonstrating the validity of the design scheme proposed in this article.

In order to eliminate oscillation arisen from AIMD window control strategy in TCP, an adaptive PI rate controller (PI-RCA) was proposed to smooth the traffic and to prevent network from congestion. Theoretical analysis and simulation evaluation showed that PI-RCA can make flow control system achieve stability robustness and adapt to sudden changes in network environment, thus providing the network with good transient behaviors. In this paper, we present an implemental evaluation of PI-RCA. We first implemented PI-RCA in the Linux kernel and solved various system issues. Second, we conducted some experiments to validate the previous simulation results. Compared with TCP, the experimental results show that the PI-RCA is much more easily to maximize link/per-flow utilization, to achieve fairness and nearly zero packet drops rate.

In this work, the residual atmospheric drag is exploited to perform rendezvous maneuvers among multiple spacecraft in low Earth orbits. These maneuvers are required, for instance, for autonomous on-orbit assembly. By varying the level of aerodynamic drag of each spacecraft, relative differential accelerations are generated among the spacecraft of the group and therefore their relative orbits are controlled. Each of the spacecraft is assumed to include a drag plate, which can be actively opened or closed, to vary the atmospheric drag. The recently developed Schweighart-Sedwick model is used to describe the relative dynamics of different spacecraft with respect to a circular orbit with the inclusion of J(2) effects. Furthermore, the natural relative dynamics of each chaser with respect to the target is decoupled into a secular motion and a periodic oscillation. In particular, the following two-phase control method is proposed. First, the secular motion of each chaser is controlled via differential drag in order for the spacecraft to sequentially move from an arbitrary initial condition to a closed stable relative orbit around the target spacecraft. After the relative orbit stabilization, a relative eccentricity control is applied to each spacecraft to zero-out the semi-axis of the relative orbit around the target and to achieve the rendezvous condition. The control algorithm considers mutual constraints among the values of differential drag that the different spacecraft can experience. Potential collisions are avoided by changing the maneuvering initial time. The main advantage of the proposed technique is that it enables a fleet of spacecraft to rendezvous without propellant expenditure. Furthermore, no numerical optimization is needed, because the control policy is based on closed-form analytical solutions. The proposed technique was validated via numerical simulations.

This paper presents a control structure for cooperative stand-off line-of-sight tracking of a moving target by a team of unmanned aircraft based on a Lyapunov guidance vector field that produces stable convergence to a circling limit cycle behavior. A guidance vector field is designed for a stationary target and then modified with a correction term that accounts for a moving target and constant background wind. Cooperative tracking by multiple unmanned aircraft is achieved through additional phasing, also with a Lyapunov stability analysis. Convoy protection, in which the unmanned aircraft must scout an area ahead of the moving target, is performed by extending the cooperative stand-off line-of-sight limit cycle attractor along the direction of travel. Simulation results demonstrate the behavior of the algorithms as well as the improvement that results from cooperation. Finally, simulations of a larger cooperative search, acquisition, and tracking scenario are described that illustrate the use of the cooperative standoff line-of-sight and convoy protection controllers in a realistic application.
