This paper provides a model predictive approach to control switched reluctance motors (SRM's). A local linear neuro-fuzzy model is used to model SRM. Then a predictive control schema is devised considering an appropriate energy term in the optimization phase. Commutation occurs naturally as an outcome of the predictive control design process, not as an extra step added to the control policy. From a computational view point, we use locally linear model predictive control that with a quadratic cost and linear constraints reduces to a simple quadratic program, which can be solved very fast in a closed form. Simulation studies justify applicability of our proposed method to SRM applications.

In the practical path-following problem formulated in this paper, it is required that the error between the system output and the desired geometric path be less then any prespecified constant. If in a nonlinear MIMO system the output derivatives do not enter the zero dynamics, a geometric condition on the path is given under which a solution to this problem exists. The solution is obtained by combining input-to-state stability and switched-system methodology.

Experimental validation of a two-stage method for the identification of physical system parameters from experimental data is presented. The first stage compresses the data as an empirical model and the second stage then uses data extracted from the empirical model of the first stage within a non-linear estimation scheme to estimate the unknown physical parameters. The approach handles unstable systems using exponential weighting.

We present robust stability results for discrete-time nonlinear systems using certainty equivalence output feedback, particularly those that employ a model predictive control (MPC) formulation to generate the feedback control law. To this end, we discuss nominal robustness properties of general discrete-time nonlinear systems, including those that use discontinuous control laws in the feedback loop. This is important for systems employing MPC since the method can, and sometimes necessarily does, result in discontinuous control laws. Coupling assumptions of nominal robustness with certain uniform observability or detectability assumptions (for each of which we give an observer), we assert that, in particular, MPC is robustly globally asymptotically stabilizing when used in a certainty equivalence output feedback structure. Finally, we give an example to illuminate our results.

We present the results of an experimental investigation that uses two different techniques for controlling a shallow cavity flow in the Mach number range 0.25-0.5. The first method is basically an open-loop design that relies on zero-net-mass forcing at an optimal frequency for suppressing the cavity flow resonance. The second method is a parallel-proportional with time delay controller, a linear control design that relies on real-time feedback from the flow to counteract the resonance. With properly tuned parameters, both methods are successful in reducing the cavity resonance for flows in the Mach number range explored. However the parallel-proportional controller exhibits a superior robustness with respect to departure of the Mach number from the design conditions, a signature of feedback control designs that are naturally more capable to handle changes of the open-loop plant. An additional benefit of the feedback control method is the lower power requirement to achieve comparable suppression of the resonance. An interpretation is presented of the physical mechanisms by which the optimal forcing frequency and the parallel-proportional with time delay controller reduce the cavity flow resonance. The results support the idea that the optimal forcing frequency control induces in the system a rapid switching between modes competing for the available energy that can be extracted from the mean flow. In the case of parallel- proportional control mode switching is also observed which involves a larger range of frequencies and spreads more the extracted energy thus producing a flow with a quieter, more broadband spectral signature.

In this paper a model reference variable structure controller (VSC) for an active suspension system is designed. A half vehicle model is used in which, the vertical and pitch motions of the mass supported by the suspension and the vertical motion of the suspension masses are considered. Sliding mode controller is applied for the purpose of disturbance attenuation. Unit vector approach, which is a sliding mode control structure for multivariable systems, is used and a robust adaptive nonlinear controller is designed. A reduced-order observer is designed to use only output information. Robust eigenstructure assignment method is implemented in the line of sliding surface design. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed nonlinear controller scheme in comparison with the passive suspension system and also H ∞ technique. The output of the closed-loop system can also smoothly track a set point in a manner that the vertical position of vehicle may be regulated toward the desired point.

This paper reports an industrial application of principle component analysis to process abnormality detection in a sugar mill. The process under investigation is a continuous pan which is one of the most crucial processes in sugar production. Two sets of experimental results are obtained in this work: one is related to an artificially induced fault by a stuck valve; the other captures a naturally occurred fault due to equipment failure. The principle component analysis algorithm successfully detects both faults. Only the latter case is reported in this paper.

This paper is an explanation of an approach to the problem of decision making in a multi agent system using genetic algorithm. The soccer game environment is chosen as the distributed system. This algorithm was tested during the Robocop competitions against other teams and could register important accomplishments. We also compare the performance of three averaging methodologies; simple weighted averaging approach, genetic algorithm with simple weighted average function, and genetic algorithm with an OWA function. The paper also elaborates ideas on bounded rationality and memorized estimation employed for making the problem tractable.
