In this paper, we use computer vision as a feedback sensor in a control loop for landing an unmanned air vehicle (UAV) on a landing pad. The vision problem we address here is then a special case of the classic ego-motion estimation problem since all feature points lie on a planar surface (the landing pad). We study together the discrete and differential versions of the ego-motion estimation, in order to obtain both position and velocity of the UAV relative to the landing pad. After briefly reviewing existing algorithm for the discrete case, we present, in a unified geometric framework, a new estimation scheme for solving the differential case. We further show how the obtained algorithms enable the vision sensor to be placed in the feedback loop as a state observer for landing control. These algorithms are linear, numerically robust, and computationally inexpensive hence suitable for real-time implementation. We present a thorough performance evaluation of the motion estimation algorithms under varying levels of image measurement noise, altitudes of the camera above the landing pad, and different camera motions relative to the landing pad. A landing controller is then designed for a full dynamic model of the UAV. Using geometric nonlinear control theory, the dynamics of the UAV are decoupled into an inner system and outer system. The proposed control scheme is then based on the differential flatness of the outer system. For the overall closed-loop system, conditions are provided under which exponential stability can be guaranteed. In the closed-loop system, the controller is tightly coupled with the vision based state estimation and the only auxiliary sensor are accelerometers for measuring acceleration of the UAV. Finally, we show through simulation results that the designed vision-in-the-loop controller generates stable landing maneuvers even for large levels of image measurement noise. Experiments on a real UAV will be presented in future work.

This communication's aim is to present an International experience in new Curriculum Development from the perspective of the new challenges for Higher Education in Europe, and with an interdisciplinary approach to content design. Bearing in mind the depicted future for the High Education Area in Europe, it is important to have the opportunity to learn from existing experiences. It is in this sense that this paper reports some important facts and rationales regarding both the development and the management of a Curriculum Development project, as well as the innovative features with respect to the curriculum's contents. Even though there exists a useful compendium on issues to be taken into account when facing a joint master's programme definition [1], this experience born out of an interdisciplinary consortium may provide interesting distinctive features and special added value for both the curriculum and engineering education. In a more concise way, this paper will present a) Body of knowledge of the master, envisioned as an interdisciplinary curriculum where synergies on both knowledge and procedures are intended to provide an added value. b) How the curriculum is structured and the main points identified as valuable for an International European Master programme. c) Management structures and information flows adopted, described from a management point of view.

Networked control system is new hot-point in controlengineering. A new delayed model for networked control systems is presented, based on which an LQR controller is designed. A method of delays estimation online is also given. For the difficulty on implementation of LQR in NCSs with time-variant delays, the Mamdani intelligent logic with LQR controller is addressed. The stability of the networked control system is also given. Simulation results prove that the novel controller can make the system stable and robustly preserve the performance in terms of time-variant delays.

Virtual laboratories are becoming increasingly popular for educational purposes. This paper reports on the development of a virtual lab that is based on an industrial pasteurisation plant. An accurate first-principles non-linear single-input single-output physical model represents the pasteurisation process. A comprehensive range of experiments was designed to explore issues in, and support an introductory-level course in process control. The experiments focus on process modelling and PID control technology.

An adaptive fuzzy PID controller is proposed to solve the problem that long time delay systems are difficult to be controlled. The controller is obtained by combining the fuzzy controller with PID controller in series, namely the output of the fuzzy controller is as the input of PID, and the control parameters of PID change nonlinearly with the system error's change. Meanwhile, the output scaling gain Ku of the fuzzy controller can be adaptively regulated. Two regulation methods are presented: one is that the linear function between Ku and the system's error is built up based on the system's dynamical characteristics;the other is that Ku is automatically regulated with the fuzzy inference whose two inputs are the comprehensive performance index and its change, the output is the increment of Ku. In the paper, we combine the controlled system with PID controller as an integrated system, and then build up its discrete state space model in the condition that the system's output delays. Based on these, the system's stability is analyzed with Lyapunov Direct Method. Simulation test results show the method provides good control performances to long time delay systems.
