The 3-dimensional PPNG (pure proportional navigation guidance) law was proposed about forty years ago, but its performance has been analyzed only on the basis of the linearized trajectory equations, which are valid locally around the collision course. We take into full account the nonlinear dynamic characteristics of pursuit situation in the 3-dimensional space to analyze the performance of the 3-dimensional PPNG law more rigorously. We prove that a missile guided by the 3-dimensional PPNG law can always intercept a target maneuvering randomly in the 3-dimensional space if 1) the target acceleration varies with a known bound, 2) the navigation constant is selected large, and either 3a) the initial heading error is small or 3b) the missile keeps the head toward the target during flight. We also propose a modified PNG law, which seems to exhibit better performance at the final phase of pursuit than the conventional PPNG law. We introduce a Lyapunov-like method that proves to be a very powerful tool in obtaining our results.

This paper presents a new methodology for global path planning for an autonomous mobile robot in a grid-type world model. The value of a certainty grid representing the existence of an obstacle in the grid is calculated from readings of sonar sensors. In the calculation, a way of utilizing three sonar sensor readings at a time is introduced, resulting in a more accurate world model. Once the world model is obtained, a network for path planning is built by using the model. The global paths, defined as the shortest paths between all pairs of nodes in the network, are calculated. A fast algorithm using a decomposition technique is proposed for real-time calculation. The new methodology has been implemented on the mobile robot whose role is to transport materials in a flexible manufacturing system. The results show that the proposed method of certainty grids satisfactorily represents a precise environment, including the locations of obstacles. Thus, the robot successfully comprehends its surroundings, and navigates to its destinations along optimal paths.

In this note, we consider feedback-linearizing control of brushless dc motors which have been increasingly used in high-performance servo applications. We completely characterize the whole class of the feedback controllers that enable the brushless dc motors to behave like linear systems but without torque ripple. The whole class of the feedback-linearizing controllers is characterized in the explicit form which contains a function to be chosen freely. The previously known controllers correspond to either the particular ones in our whole class of the feedback-linearizing controllers or their truncated Fourier expansions. This free function can be used to achieve other control objectives as well as linear dynamic characteristics. Furthermore, our feedback-linearizing controllers can be easily determined from the measurement data of back EMF and can be used even for the case of asymmetric back EMF.

One of the problems in the design of multi-station lines is the allocation of different work elements to various workstations. This problem is called Assembly Line Balancing (ALB). The failure of workstations and other unforeseen circumstances can result in unnecessary idling of the production line. In order to improve the production rate of such systems, buffer storage of certain capacities can be allocated between each pair of workstations. In this paper, ALB with buffers is formulated as a Single Criterion Decision Making as well as a Multiple Criteria Decision Making problem. In the single objective problem, the cycle time is given and the optimal number of workstations and buffer sizes is obtained to minimize the total cost. In the Multiple Criteria problem, several criteria (objectives) are defined. These objectives are the number of workstations, their buffer sizes, the cycle time, and the total cost of operation with buffers. We demonstrate how the set of efficient (nondominated) alternatives for the multiple criteria problem can be generated. The paper also describes how the best alternative can be selected through the use of existing interactive multiple criteria methods. Several examples are solved and the results of computational experiments are provided.

Grey box modeling is a widely used term, which presently reflects that both a priori and experimental knowledge is being incorporated into the model building process. A brief investigation into various uses of grey box modeling approaches reveals that they mainly differ with respect to the required model accuracy. The goal of the model application also has to be considered in the model building, since it constrains the necessary accuracy required by the model. In this paper these two viewpoints are combined thus leading to a proposed new definition of grey box modeling.

A relatively simple method of solving the inverse problem by using fuzzy rule based model of a multi-input and multi-output (MIMO) system is presented. It utilizes the concept of grid-type fuzzy model by use of a complete set of rules and numerical outputs (consequents). Then with a given system outputs, a set of so called dominant rules is extracted as possible solutions. They can be used further in analyzing the possible actions of the system inputs. Two examples show the applicability of the method proposed.< >

A graph-theoretic method for integration of process and control system (IPCS) syntheses has been proposed in the present paper. The foundation of this integration is a well-established, graph-theoretic approach to process synthesis in conjunction with the analysis of structural controllability based on digraph-type process models. A directed bipartite graph, the CP-graph, has been introduced for unambiguous representation of an IPCS structure. The notion of CP-graph has given rise to a set of axioms for describing the combinatorially feasible and controllable structures. The maximal controllable structure of an IPCS synthesis problem has been defined as the union of combinatorially feasible and controllable IPCS structures; obviously, the optimal IPCS structure must be a substructure of this maximal controllable structure. Thus, the mathematical programming model, e.g., MINLP model, of an IPCS synthesis problem should be derived from the maximal controllable structure. The fundamental combinatorial algorithm of IPCS synthesis, i.e., algorithm CMSG, for identifying this maximal controllable structure has been formulated. The complexity of this algorithm has been proved to be polynomial on the size of the problem; its efficacy is illustrated with a relatively simple example. The resultant IPCS structures are compared with the structures synthesized without considering their controlsystems.

A practical adaptive tracking filter for maneuvering targets and nonlinear measurements is proposed by combining a modified input estimation technique with pseudo-residuals and a decoupled tracking filter in LOS Cartesian coordinate system. Since the proposed adaptive tracking filter has a decoupled structure, maneuver input estimates can be computed for three axes separately. Consequently, without degrading performance, computation is drastically reduced compared to a coupled adaptive tracking filter with input estimation technique in inertial coordinate system. Also, by small cross-correlations of pseudo-measurement noises, the proposed tracking filter produces less false alarms or miss detections to improve the performance
