This paper deals with affine constraints and nonholonomic systems. We first derive nonholonomic dynamic systems with affine constraints under assumption of complete nonintegrability. We next show that the system is strongly locally accessible at any zero-velocity point and small-time locally controllable at any equilibrium under Sussmann's condition. Moreover a necessary condition of locally asymptotic stabilizability at any equilibrium is derived. Finally, we show a physical example for verification of our theory.

There is a growing interest in applications of embedded and integrated sensors to ensure the reliability of structural components. The results of a panel discussion to elucidate future directions and key issues are presented. Views of three organizations, with different missions and objectives, on needs and opportunities are first presented, followed by a summary of general audience discussion. Emphasis is placed on identifying the commonalities and differences in those needs and opportunities.

The chemicalengineering program at Arizona State offers an integrated series of core courses that teach students how conservation and accounting principles can be applied to describe engineering phenomena across disciplines. A brine-water mixing tank experiment was introduced in the third course in the series (ECE 394C: Understanding engineeringsystems Via Conservation) as a capstone modeling project for the recitation portion of the course. The experiment provides students with "hands-on" experience on a real-life system incorporating process, electrical, and mechanical components, as well as real-time data acquisition and control. A major feature of the brine-water tank project is that students apply a comprehensive system identification procedure relying on semiphysical (a.k.a. "grey box") models to complement their understanding of first-principles modeling. This paper describes the brine-water tank experiment, presents the formulation of the semiphysical parameter estimation problem, and describes the comprehensive procedure that students undertake to go from process data to validated plant models.

Two laboratory-scale experiments have been developed that can be executed safely over the Internet. They provide practical experience for students of process control. Remote access is within a client-server paradigm. Servers connected to the processes through the usual data acquisition hardware address issues regarding safety, security, data validation, and session management. A unique feature of the lab is the ability for the student to design, test, and verify control strategies in real time over the Internet. Necessary interlocks and cutoffs ensure safe remote operation of the units. Studies have shown that network speeds are not a significant concern for these systems due to slow process dynamics. The availability of Internet-mediated laboratory modules on an anytime/anywhere basis will enable a larger fraction of the class to get valuable laboratory experience. These experiments have also been used in an Internet-wired classroom for interactive demonstrations during lecture.

The term "plant-friendly" system identification has been used within the chemical process control research community in reference to the broad-based goal of accomplishing informative identification testing while meeting the demands of industrial practice. While many different identification topics (such as control-relevant identification, closed-loop identification and optimal input design) can be said to contribute to plant-friendliness in identification, the problem has some unique character of its own. This paper describes some of the issues that motivate plant-friendly identification and presents an overview of some approaches that have been proposed in this topic. The problem of identification test monitoring is presented as a novel means for accomplishing plant-friendly identification.

Dextrous manipulation of objects by a robot arm is one of the central problems in robotics research. This paper first studies basic modeling and dynamic control problems of whole body manipulation systems by the assumption of using sensitive skin. As an example, we treat a 2-link planar whole arm manipulation system with a circle object. We first formulate the system dynamics with sliding contact and rolling friction constrains between the robot link and the object. We then develop a model-based tracking control algorithm for the robot to manipulate the center of mass of the object. Further, modeling in the presence of dynamic friction is considered. The validity of the proposed method is investigated by numerical simulations.

Humans can perform skillful tasks adaptively and safely while interacting with uncertain dynamic environment. With respect to the adaptation ability, it was pointed out that impedance control could play a center role in the human motor control mechanism. Related with safety, it was reported in robotics that the arm's passivity as seen from its environment or manipulated object is very important. In this paper, we study the passivity of impedance control with time varying impedance center. We propose a novel energy-based control method to adjust the impedance center so that the robot arm can realize passive impedance. We verify the effectiveness of our approach by computer simulations.
For interval polynomial matrices, we identify the minimal testing set, whose stability can guarantee that of the whole uncertain set. Our results improve the conclusions given by Kamal and Dahleh.
