This paper presents the structure and analysis of the segmented discrete-time repetitive controller. The repetitive controller is designed to reject periodic disturbance and/or track periodic reference signal with known period. Resulted from the Internal Model Principle, the repetitive control law is applied to the entire control path. However, when crucial segments within a control path are of concern, the segmented repetitive control law, which applies control actions only to those segments, can be utilized to save the memory space. It is shown that such a segmented repetitive control system is stable if the original nonsegmented one is stable.

A control procedure that uses Time Delay control to achieve input/output linearization of a class of nonlinear systems is presented. The control system is characterized by a simple algorithm and enhanced robustness properties in comparison with current control algorithms. The paper first reviews the fundamentals of input/output linearization. The use of Time Delay control is then shown to result in an exact linear system for sufficiently small delay time. Modified controllers for systems with a low-pass filter are also investigated. Simulation results show that the algorithm works well with measurement noise. The controller is also tested on a single-link flexible arm to show the effectiveness of the simple algorithm in the control of complicated systems.

In-plant milk-run systems are transportation systems, where materials are delivered from a central storage area to several points of use on defined routes and in short intervals. Milk-run systems generally enable frequent deliveries in smaller lot sizes with short lead times and low inventory at the points of use. In real milk-run systems, the number of deliveries per interval varies due to, e.g., variations in the production program. To enable efficient and stable milk-run system operations, these systems therefore must be able to cope with peaks in the number of deliveries. We develop different strategies for handling these delivery peaks and evaluate them with respect to delivery: cost. lead time and service level using real material consumption data from two large companies from the automotive industry.

A self-tuning method is described for a simple discrete-time control algorithm presented in a previous paper. With self-tuning, the algorithm is a candidate for a new class of single-loop controllers that would be considerably more convenient to use than the present analog PID controllers. Experimental results are presented indicating the applicability of the tuning and control algorithms to typical, nonideal processes.

A linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller for active vibratory loads reduction in helicopters is proposed based on a revisited higher harmonic control (HHC) input by active trailing-edge flaps (ATEFs). Conventional individual blade control (IBC) input is redefined using N - 1/rev interblade phase lead, N/rev collective, and N + 1/rev interblade phase lag signals where 1/rev frequency modulation originates from the multiblade coordinate (MBC) transform. A Mach-scaled flap blade is designed and analyzed by the multibody dynamics analysis DYMORE. A linear time-invariant representation is identified from N/rev envelopes of the input and output responses obtained by DYMORE analysis. A matlab/simulink closed-loop control simulation is designed using the identified state-space realization. The N/rev vibratory loads are reduced up to 52% with flap deflections and the linear control results match well with the nonlinear responses obtained from DYMORE. Furthermore, the multivariable closed-loop stability estimated by the loop transfer functions using disk margin analysis reveals sufficient gain and phase margins.

The paper presents an optimization of temperature control system for the refrigeration unit. Basic technological limits, which have influence on a control quality are also described. From a technological point of view the considered refrigeration unit operates in two modes. It allows the temperature stabilization inside the chamber despite the layer of frost growing up on the surface of evaporator. It is the main reason of changes dynamic parameters of the refrigeration unit. Authors analysed other technological factors, which may disturb a temperature inside of the cold chamber. The main idea was to find robust control algorithms for the temperature control, which makes a process stable in any working point. At the final part of paper the selected real time experiments were presented. It shows typical working modes of the refrigeration unit and proof robustness of developed and implemented control algorithm.

A predictive adaptive control algorithm is developed for tip position control based on the zero-order-hold equivalence of the nondimensionalized dynamic model of a flexible robot arm. A lattice filter is utilized for the purpose of parameter identification. The proposed control scheme provides an optimal output feedback control and, together with the lattice filter parameter identifier, it forms a special self-tuning regulator. It is then compared with other methods, such as linear quadratic Gaussian and stable factorization. A stability criterion for this control algorithm is also presented. The effects of the actuator dynamics on the overall system response and stability are investigated. Actuator dynamics model parameters are chosen from the actual specifications provided by manufacturers.

Learning control encompasses a class of control algorithms for programmable machines such as robots which attain, through an iterative process, the motor dexterity that enables the machine to execute complex tasks. In this paper we discuss the use of function identification and adaptive control algorithms in learning controllers for robot manipulators. In particular, we discuss the similarities and differences between betterment learning schemes, repetitive controllers and adaptive learning schemes based on integral transforms. The stability and convergence properties of adaptive learning algorithms based on integral transforms are highlighted and experimental results illustrating some of these properties are presented.

Pléiades High Resolution Programme aims at realising a new class of optical observation system, characterised by imaging performances in the range of one meter resolution, large image fields and increased agility. The main feature of the Attitude control System (ACS) is to rely on a new type of actuator: a cluster of 4 control Moment Gyros (CMGs). The use of CMGs allows to reach high agility performances to meet the requirements induced by demanding imaging missions. This paper presents the design, development status and performances of the Pléiades-HR ACS based on a CMGs-cluster.

The Galileo In Orbit Verification (IOV) program, consisting of 4 spacecrafts, is the first step towards an European satellite-based navigation system. The main objective of the IOV phase is to verify the proper functioning of the overall system before starting the next step - Galileo Full Operational Capability (FOC) - where the full deployment of 30 Galileo satellites will be performed. This paper gives an overview of the Galileo IOV Attitude and Orbit control (AOC) function with the focus being put on the spacecraft attitude control. The AOC is a part of the Avionics subsystem, manufacturing of which has been subcontracted to Astrium. The article also describes the overall requirements on the control system, the AOC hardware and operational architecture as well as selected details on the AOC algorithms with corresponding test results.
