A problem of sliding mode control design for a SISO system with unmodeled actuators of the first and second order is considered. A design methodology, based on dynamic sliding manifolds (DSM), is proposed to attenuate the chattering phenomenon affecting sliding-mode-controlled plants in the presence of unmodeled dynamics. The proposed methodology maintains the sliding mode on the sliding surface, which is designed without actuator dynamics being considered. This goal is achieved via auxiliary dynamic sliding manifold design; the sliding mode on the auxiliary DSM provides for high order asymptotic sliding mode on the initial surface.

Proposes the mixed H/sub 2//H/sub /spl infin// controller design method with regional pole placements according to the 3 step guidance courses for underwater vehicle systems in horizontal motion and vertical motion, respectively. The change of hydrodynamics, time delays, and disturbances are considered as uncertainties of the system. The full nonlinear simulation including initial leveling part, guidance, autopilot, actuator, etc., shows that the proposed controllers are efficient in the sense of new strategy for underwater vehicle systems.

For an object grasped by a robot hand to work in the compliance control domain, we first analyze a necessary condition for successful stiffness modulation in the operational space. Next, we propose a compliance control method for robot hands which consist of two steps: the RIFDS (resolved inter-finger decoupling solver) decomposes the desired compliance characteristic specified in the operational space into the compliance characteristic in the fingertip space without inter-finger coupling; and the RIJDS (resolved inter-joint decoupling solver) decomposes the compliance characteristic in the fingertip space into the compliance characteristic in the joint space without inter-joint coupling. According to the analysis results, the finger structure should be biomimetic in the sense that either kinematic redundancy or force redundancy are required to implement the proposed compliance control scheme. Five-bar fingered robot hands are treated as illustrative examples to implement the proposed compliance control method. To show the effectiveness of the proposed compliance control method, simulations are performed for two-fingered and three-fingered robot hands.

Underwater robotic vehicles (URV) have been employed for mobility, and robot manipulators attached to the underwater vehicle play the role of manipulation. URV motions are determined by inherent dynamic couplings between active and passive joints. Furthermore, the control problem becomes complex since there should be considered many hydrodynamic terms as well as intrinsic model uncertainties. To cope with these difficulties, we propose a disturbance observer-based robust control algorithm for underwater manipulators with passive joints. The proposed control algorithm is able to treat an underactuated system as a pseudo-active system in which passive joints are eliminated. Also, to realize a robust control method, a nonlinear feedback disturbance observer is applied to each active joint. A four-jointed underwater robotic system with one passive joint is considered as an illustrative example. Through simulation, it is shown that the proposed control algorithm has good position tracking performances even in the presence of several external disturbances and model uncertainties.

A statistical analysis of Internet traffic measurements from a campus site is carried out to examine the influence of the constituent protocols and applications on the characteristics of the aggregate stream and on packet loss statistics. While TCP remains the dominant traffic protocol through all hours of the day, a mixture of both well-known (HTTP, FTP, NNTP and SMTP) and less known applications contribute significant portions to the TCP traffic mix. Statistical tests show that the aggregate TCP packet arrival process exhibits both nonstationary and nonlinear features. By filtering a subset of the applications found to exhibit nonstationary features from the aggregate process, a stationary traffic stream is derived. This filtered traffic process is modeled using nonlinear threshold autoregressive processes. The traffic model is shown to provide good agreement with the measurement trace in the packet loss statistics. The proposed parametric model allows the design of traffic shapers and provides a simple and accurate approach for simulating Internet data traffic patterns.

It is well known that traditional algorithms from the system identification field produce, not only a nominal model, but also a quantification of the quality of the model via statistical confidence bounds. However, traditional robust control design methods often do not match well this type of description of modelling errors. This paper extends a recently developed procedure for dealing with statistical confidence bounds in robust control to multivariable systems. The solutions are obtained in the spirit of model matching via a state-space approach. A design example is introduced to demonstrate the efficacy of the method.
