To overcome the overshoot and oscillation in the normal Bang-Bang controller applied in the pneumatic driving glass-wall cleaning robot, this paper presents a F&A compensating variable Bang-Bang control algorithm for the pneumatic position servo. Besides a new cylinder driving plan is designed, the control algorithm is also improved by adding a fiction force compensating item in the chamber force evaluation equation. To adjust the controlling parameters dynamically, certain increasing functions, such as step function, linear function and arc-tangent function, are used to define the piston's expectative acceleration along with the reduction of the piston's position error. To testify the feasibility of the control algorithms with the above three expectative acceleration setting functions respectively, a pneumatic glass-wall cleaning robot "Sky Cleaner 4" is used as a testing platform to implement a series of on-load position servo experiments. And the different results of them are compared.

The modeling, parameters identification, and linear and nonlinear feedback control designs of an electronic throttle control (ETC) system is considered. A commercially available ETC system made by Bosch is selected for our investigation. The unknown parameters identified are used in designing linear and nonlinear controllers. Simulations and extensive experiments were conducted. A real-time linear controller was implemented with the xPC Target. The ETC model is then extended to a separately excited nonlinear DC motor model. The nonlinear controller is designed using the input-output feedback linearization technique; the extension proves to be of solid theoretical value. The results presented in this paper can be considered as an interesting and important case study encompassing system modeling, parameters identification, linear and nonlinear controller designs, and real-time control. The techniques and methodology developed are applicable to similar and/or other types of systems.

In this paper, we extend the observer/control strategies previously published in [25] to an n -link, serially connected, direct drive, rigid link, revolute robot operating in the presence of nonlinear friction effects modeled by the Lu-Gre model. In addition, we also present a new adaptive control technique for compensating for the nonlinear parameterizable Stribeck effects. Specifically, an adaptive observer/controller scheme is developed which contains a feedforward approximation of the Stribeck effects. This feedforward approximation is used in a composite controller/observer strategy which forces the average square integral of the position tracking error to an arbitrarily small value. Experimental results are included to illustrate the performance of the proposed controllers.

This paper presents an effective algorithm for calibrating the extrinsic parameters between a camera and a laser range finder whose trace is invisible. On the basis of an analysis of three possible features, we propose to design a right-angled triangular checkerboard and to employ the invisible intersection points of the laser range finder's slice plane with the edges of the checkerboard to set up the constraints equations. The extrinsic parameters are then calibrated by minimizing the algebraic errors between the measured intersections points and their corresponding projections on the image plane of the camera. We compared our algorithm with the existing methods by both simulations and the real data of a stereo measurement system. The simulation and experimental results confirmed that the proposed algorithm can yield more accurate results.

This paper presents a novel modular climbing caterpillar named ZC-I. After a related survey on the topic, a systematical summarizing on basic functions provided by this system is given. ZC-I features fast-building mechanical structure and low-frequency vibrating passive attachment principle. Active joints actuated by RC servos endow the connecting modules with the ability of changing shapes in two dimensions. After that the discussion focuses on the various locomotion capabilities. Linear movement, turning movement, lateral movement, rotating and rolling movement are achieved based on an inspired control model to produce rhythmic motion. In the end a conclusion and future work are given.

This paper presents a novel field robot JL-I based on a reconfigurable concept for urban search and rescue applications. The robot consists of three identical modules; each module is an entire robotic system that can perform distributed activities. It features three-degrees-of-freedom (DOF) active joints actuated by serial and parallel mechanisms for changing shape and flexible docking mechanism. The docking mechanism enables adjacent modules to connect or disconnect flexibly and automatically. DOF analysis, working space analysis and the kinematics of the 3D active joint between connected modules are studied thoroughly. In the end a series of successful tests confirm the principles and the robot's capabilities.

In this paper we present a study on the requirements for the design and implementation of simulation packages for Grid systems. Grids are emerging as new distributed computing systems whose main objective is to manage and allocate geographically distributed computing resources to applications and users in an efficient and transparent manner. Grid systems are at present very difficult and complex to use for experimental studies of large-scale distributed applications. Although the field of simulation of distributed computing systems is mature, recent developments in large-scale distributed systems are raising needs not present in the simulation of the traditional distributed systems. Motivated by this, we present in this work a set of basic requirements that any simulation package for Grid computing should offer. This set of functionalities is obtained after a careful review of most important existing Grid simulation packages and includes new requirements not considered in such simulation packages. Based on the identified set of requirements, a Grid simulator is developed and exemplified for the Grid scheduling problem.

Solution techniques for Markov decision problems rely on exact knowledge of the transition rates, which may be difficult or impossible to obtain. In this paper, we consider Markov decision problems with uncertain transition rates represented as compact sets. We first consider the problem of sensitivity analysis where the aim is to quantify the range of uncertainty of the average per-unit-time reward given the range of uncertainty of the transition rates. We then develop solution techniques for the problem of obtaining the max-min optimal policy, which maximizes the worst-case average per-unit-time reward. In each of these problems, we distinguish between systems that can have their transition rates chosen independently and those where the transition rates depend on each other. Our solution techniques are applicable to Markov decision processes with fixed but unknown transition rates and to those with time-varying transition rates.

This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the current state of research in the area of Networked control systems (NCSs) first. Then two modeling and control methods are introduced for NCSs in details. The first one is a stochastic control method, which investigates the H{sub}∞ control problem for NCSs with random network-induced delay. The second one is a switch control method, which focuses on solving the stabilization problem for NCSs in discrete-time domain, where both network-induced delay and packet dropout are taken into account. Illustrative examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches. Finally, this paper concludes with the discussion of possible future development of NCSs from a control perspective.
