This paper investigates the practicality problem of the equivalent control method for nonlinear neutral type variable structure control system (VSCS) with time-delays. Existence of the sliding mode for the system is given, and the conditions under which the sliding process has nothing to do with the external disturbance and parameter perturbation are obtained. At last, the synthetical method of the VSCS is provided and illustrated by an example of chemical process.

This paper faces up the problem of carrying out simple tasks, such as to fasten an object, tasks that become relatively complex in operations using robots, specially in underwater environments. The goal of this work is to perform such tasks by using intelligent strategies that plan step by step allowing for compensation of the robots own limitations. The strategy is based on the use of information from stereo vision and the required auxiliary devices or tools to contribute to the development of the task.

In this paper, the selection of H/sub /spl infin// weighting functions for general practical applications is investigated. Uncertainty weighting functions for typical low-order plants with parametric uncertainties are derived. It is shown that H/sub /spl infin// weighting function for a general SISO plant can be obtained by the combination of these elementary low-order plants. Weighting functions of reflecting other system specifications in H/sub /spl infin// design are also investigated. Explicit weighting function expressions are given to address position and rate limits of an actuator, tracking error performance, overshoot, etc. Finally, the proposed methods are demonstrated by the roll-angle control design of a laboratory-scale model of a vertical take-off aircraft via simulation and real-time control.

The robot vision system presented consists of a PCB with a hardware-reconfigurable image processor, and a PCB with a standard commercial microprocessor. The microprocessor board interfaces with the host robot, configures the hardware of the image processor and runs the high-level image algorithms. Both boards occupy a volume of 10/spl times/10/spl times/3 cm/sup 3/ and consume less than 1A.

Repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D systems of both theoretic and practical interest. For example, they arise in the study of industrial processes such as long-wall coal cutting operations and also in the modeling of classes of iterative learning control schemes. This paper describes the development of MATLAB based tools for control related analysis/controller design in the case of so-called discrete linear repetitive processes with particular emphasis on the iterative learning control application. Some areas for short to medium term further development are also briefly noted.

This paper presents a new real-time architecture for motion control of industrial robots. The new control system obtained has two main advantages: first it provides a total open control architecture and the second advantage is the simplicity and the interactivity of the platform developed. Experimental evaluation of a passivity-based control scheme shows the benefits of the architecture which is unique in the sense that open and advanced control can be combined with built-in safety logic as required in industrial applications.

This paper addresses the benefits of integrating fault masking (FM) and fault detection and identification (FDI) methods to an embedded control system. It is shown that using a “smart” sensor in a Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) configuration improves the system performance. Within the proposed hybrid system, “smart” sensors are used as redundant modules of the TMR configuration. A novel quality measure, which indicates the confidence level of a “smart” sensor output is used by a purpose-built voting algorithm to produce outputs. The proposed voting algorithm is a modification of weighted average voter, which produces results based on both the sensor output and the associated quality measure. This algorithm performs better than the conventional weighted average voter within a simple TMR configuration for low error ratios (<16). The main reason for this improvement is the capability of hybrid system to mask similar faults. Therefore, the proposed hybrid system produces more reliable results than the fault masking approach.

Large and expensive specific hardware are usually required for tracking systems based on computer vision. This circumstance limits their extensive application in industrial processes. With the aim of overcoming this fact, a low-cost image processor has been implemented. This specific single-board processor permits a standard industrial PC to perform the tracking of some relevant local features at video rate (50 Hz). Local features in the image are transformed to a polar representation in order to simplify the recognition and location processes prior to rotations. This transformation is provided in real time by the presented image processor, so the host only has to apply the recognition algorithm. For image processor implementation, FPGA technology has been used.
