This paper addresses the problem of guiding an autonomous agent to cover a region surrounding a target. It is assumed that only range information is available to the agent. The target point is considered to be stationary. The region of interest can be changed by changing the initial conditions or the system parameters. In this work, we analyse the effect of the initial conditions only. We propose a simple control law which can be easily implemented. The analytical results obtained here are validated through simulation. The autonomous agent could be a ground or an aerial vehicle depending on the application. For surveillance applications, the target can be a landmark, where the agent can monitor the region surrounding the landmark. Other applications can be sprinkling fertilizers, watering a farm, etc. where a pre-defined area needs to be covered.

This paper proposes a novel control algorithm for linear discrete time uncertain input delay systems using infrequent output observations i.e, periodic output feedback technique. First, the uncertain delayed system, with a constant delay and bounded uncertainty is converted to an equivalent delay free system using a predictor. It has been shown that, when the output of the uncertain predicted system is sampled slower than the input, there exists a discrete-time quasi sliding mode. Since the proposed algorithm is based on output feedback, it is more practical in comparison to state feedback based control algorithms. The simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.

This paper proposes an efficient algorithm for automatic loop shaping in Quantitative Feedback Theory(QFT). The proposed method uses hybrid optimization and consistency techniques. Hull consistency is used to prune the input domain by removing the inconsistent values which are not a part of the solution. The hybrid optimization part combines interval global optimization and nonlinear local optimization methods. The proposed method is demonstrated on uncertain DC motor plant model and performance is compared with those of existing interval methods.

This paper proposes an algorithm for periodic output feedback (POF) control for Delta operator systems. The Delta operator creates the rapprochement between analog and discrete dynamic system models and establishes the natural framework to investigate the behavior of discrete dynamic models with fast sampling rates. It is shown here that, the periodic output feedback control fails for discrete-time systems represented by the traditional shift operator for smaller values of sampling time, whereas the same is possible if it is represented in the delta domain. Since the proposed algorithm is based on output feedback, it is more practical in comparison to the state feedback based control algorithms. The design method is illustrated through a numerical example and the simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

In this paper, a suboptimal flow controller design for connection-oriented communication network via reduced model is proposed. Network is modeled as an n th order discrete system whose available bandwidth variations at the bottlenecked link act as an exogenous unmatched disturbance. The proposed scheme is characterized by a simple first order design which is applied to n th order systems through aggregation. Effect of bandwidth variation at the congested node which is modeled as a disturbance, is well accounted in controller design with widely adopted delay-based disturbance estimation. Performance of the proposed scheme is validated through Matlab and ns simulations. Simulation results shows that all the proposed reduced order control scheme tracks the desired queue length effectively under the adverse influence of unmatched disturbances.

Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process is one of the most popular manufacturing processes in industries such as automotive, aerospace, ship buildings, and boiler. To increase the consistency in welding quality, the automation of the welding process with feedback controllers is inevitable. This paper presents an Integral Sliding Mode (ISM) controller, a robust controller, to control the welding current and arc voltage of a GMAW system. The concept of ISM controller design technique is to combine a discontinuous control with a nominal control to achieve robustness against matched perturbations. The proportional plus integral (PI) and composite nonlinear feedback (CNF) controllers are used as nominal controllers. It is shown in the paper that the CNF controller performs better than PI controller. A linear multi input multi output (MIMO) system model has been considered here for the design. The performance of the controller is analyzed in the presence of model parameter uncertainties and external disturbances and the simulation results are presented and discussed in order to establish a comparison framework.
