The main enthusiasm of the use of MPC in this study relies on its ability in including state and control constraints that naturally comes up in practical problems. At the same time, nonlinearity of constraints compels the numerical solution of optimization problem. Therefore, a number of intelligent algorithms to overcome nonlinear optimization of the cost function is reviewed, however, their time consuming computations are considered as a dominant limitation. Meantime, due to its remarkable advantages, the motion control of Omni-directional mobile robot is handled by design of NMPC scheme. Furthermore, a novel kinematic model for the application of mobile robot is represented. As a demonstration for the proposed model, simulation results show that settling time is reduced 22% in comparison with ideal kinematic model and also the performance of the suggested control strategy shows its effectiveness in presence of disturbance and noise in all environments.

In addition to simplicity, the DTC of the IM allows a good torque control in steady-state and transient operating conditions. However, high torque ripple is produced, which is reflected in speed estimation responses. It also increases acoustical noise and makes the voltage source inverter operated in high and variable switching frequency, requiring a high sampling frequency. In this paper, a simple effective ANN-based DTC of the induction machine is proposed. Neural networks with a simple architecture are designed and implemented in influential points of the direct torque control block of the three phase induction machine in order to improve its dynamic performance while preserving the DTC structure simplicity as much as possible. In particular, this paper proposes to reduce, on the one hand, the torque ripple and commutation frequency. Neural comparators are used to select the appropriate bandwidth for the torque and flux hysteresis controllers. Their aim is to optimize the ripple level in the developed torque and flux. On the other hand, a neural speed controller is designed in order to improve the system ability to respond rapidly to changes in process variables and mitigate the effects of external perturbations. The performance of the proposed control are tested in simulation and highlighted by comparing to the conventional DTC control based on conventional hysteresis comparators and conventional PI speed controller. The obtained results show the feasibility and good performances of the proposed control.

This paper presents a framework for the nonlinear control of dual-stage actuators (DSA). Motivated by various nonlinear controllers that make use of sector bounded and £ ∞ nonlinearities for the control of saturated linear systems, a methodology for integrating such nonlinear functions in order to improve the performance of DSA is presented. The stability of the closed-loop system is assessed by casting the nonlinearities in a mixed sector-bounded plus quasi-Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) framework, leading to a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) to be satisfied by the controller parameters. Taking advantage of the developed framework, a new £ ∞ function is proposed to avoid the saturation of the secondary actuator. Simulation results illustrate the validity of the proposed framework and its potential for the performance improvement of DSA.

This is a milestone paper of the Coordinating Committee on Manufacturing and Logistics systems (CC5) of the International Federation of Automatic control (IFAC). Classical applications of control engineering and information and communication technology (ICT) in production and logistics are often done in a rigid, centralized and hierarchical way. These inflexible approaches are typically not able to cope with the complexities of the manufacturing environment, such as the instabilities, uncertainties and abrupt changes caused by internal and external disturbances, or a large number and variety of interacting, interdependent elements. A paradigm shift, e.g., novel organizing principles and methods, is needed for supporting the interoperability of dynamic alliances of agile and networked systems. Several solution proposals argue that the future of manufacturing and logistics lies in network-like, dynamic, open and reconfigurable systems of cooperative autonomous entities. The paper overviews various distributed approaches and technologies of control engineering and ICT that can support the realization of cooperative structures from the resource level to the level of networked enterprises. Standard results as well as recent advances from control theory, through cooperative game theory, distributed machine learning to holonic systems, cooperative enterprise modelling, system integration, and autonomous logistics processes are surveyed. A special emphasis is put on the theoretical developments and industrial applications of Robustly Feasible Model Predictive control (RFMPC). Two case studies are also discussed: i) a holonic, PROSA-based approach to generate short-term forecasts for an additive manufacturing system by means of a delegate multi-agent system (D-MAS); and ii) an application of distributed RFMPC to a drinking water distribution system.

The paper proposes a new learning method for fuzzy cognitive maps, which makes it possible to encode an attractor into the map. The method is based on the principle of backpropagation through time known from the theory of artificial neural networks. Simulation results are presented to show how well the method performs. It is shown that the results are superior to those achieved using Hebbian learning approaches such as nonlinear Hebbian learning. Some lines for possible future research and development are given.

The goal of the work presented here is to influence the overall behaviour of specific animal societies by integrating computational mechatronic devices (robots) into those societies. To do so, these devices should be accepted by the animals aspart of the society and/or as part of the collectively formed environment. For that, we have developed two sets of robotic hardware for integrating into societies of two different animals: zebra fish and young honeybees. We also developed mechanisms to provide feedback from the behaviours of societies for the controllers of the robotic system. Two different computational methods are then used as the controllers of the robots in simulation and successfully adapted by evolutionary algorithms to influence the simulated animals for desired behaviours. Together, these advances in mechatronic hardware, feedback mechanisms, and controller methodology are laying essential foundations to facilitate experiments on modulating self-organised behaviour in mixed animal -- robot societies.
