This paper refers to the fast implementation of the positional forward acceleration of the end effector of revolute robotic arms with spherical wrists, using the distributed arithmetic technique. The acceleration of the end effector is calculated by a cascade configuration of two pipelined arrays that calculate the Jacobian matrix and its time derivative, as well as the centrifugal-Coriolis and linear accelerations. These partial accelerations are then added in the adder tree. The building blocks of the arrays are the distributed arithmetic-based circuits that implement the matrix-vector multiplications involved in the calculations. The digit-serial configuration of the proposed implementation of the positional forward acceleration of the end effector is described. The serial and the parallel configurations may result as special cases of the digit-serial configuration. The proposed distributed arithmetic (DA) implementation of the positional forward acceleration may be applied, after appropriate modifications, to the general case of robots having either revolute or prismatic joints, with any type of wrist.

This article presents the basic principles of operation for model predictive control (MPC), a control methodology that opens a new world of opportunities. MPC is a powerful technique that can fulfill the increased performance and higher efficiency demands of power converters today. The main features of this technique are presented as well as the MPC strategy and basic elements. The two main MPC methods for power converters [continuous-control-set MPC (CCS-MPC) and finite-control-set MPC (FCS-MPC)] are described, and their application to a voltage-source inverter (VSI) is shown to illustrate their capabilities. This article tries to bridge the gap between the powerful but sometimes abstract techniques developed by researchers in the control community and the empirical approach of power electronics practitioners.

Most training algorithms for radial basis function (RBF) neural networks start with a predetermined network structure which is chosen either by using a priori knowledge or based on previous experience. The resulting network is often insufficient or unnecessarily complicated and an appropriate network structure can only be obtained by trial and error. Training algorithms which incorporate structure selection mechanisms are usually based on local search methods and often suffer from a high probability of being trapped at a structural local minima. In the present study, genetic algorithms are proposed to automatically configure RBF networks. The network configuration is formed as a subset selection problem. The task is then to find an optimal subset of n(c) terms from the N-t training data samples. Each network is coded as a variable length string with distinct integers and genetic operators are proposed to evolve a population of individuals. Criteria including single objective and multiobjective functions me proposed to evaluate the fitness of individual networks. Training based on a practical data set is used to demonstrate the performance of the new algorithms.
