This paper presents a concept for an integrated process chain for tooling production based on metal additive manufacturing. The proposed approach aims at taking advantage of a fully digitized production line, describing the main steps for the synergetic integration of the manufacturing assets. The production line entails digital infrastructure that collects and elaborate data from various monitoring sensors to execute corrective actions and continuously optimize the process. This line will bring breakthrough benefits, like flexibility and full traceability. Also challenges, as change management in the industry, skills gap, the requirement of new business models and product re-design have been addressed.

The German Aerospace Center (DLR) has developed the Terramechanics Robotics Locomotion Lab (TROLL) to provide a feasible testing facility for developing planetary exploration rovers, as well as validating terramechanical models. A robotic manipulator is used to provide the required degrees of freedom to the mounted wheel or subsystem, making it necessary to actively control the interaction force of the wheel-soil contact. This paper is concerned with the development of a feasible force control strategy for the testbench wheel-soil contact during single-wheel experiments. For this purpose, a terramechanical model has been developed to accurately map the dynamic processes relevant for the force control design, which is later used in a testbench simulation framework to predict and evaluate the performance of control strategies. The Adaptive Admittance Control (AAC) scheme developed is adapting the gain based on the current control deviation, the rotational velocity of the wheel and an estimated soil stiffness during the experiment. The AAC is evaluated using a benchmark single-wheel experiment and shows superior performance compared to standard admittance control.

The paper proposes first steps towards the formalization and characterization of time-varying turnpikes in optimal control of mechanical systems. We propose the concepts of velocity steady states, which can be considered as partial steady states, and hyperbolic velocity turnpike properties for analysis and control. We show for a specific example that, for all finite horizons, both the (essential part of the) optimal solution and the orbit of the time-varying turnpike correspond to (optimal) trim solutions. Hereby, the present paper appears to be the first to combine the concepts of trim primitives and time-varying turnpike properties.

The optimality in a generic two-degree of freedom control system can be decomposed into three major steps, because the control error has three major parts: design-, realizability- and modeling-loss. The second term can be made zero for inverse stable processes only. This decomposition opens new ways for practical optimization of two-degree-of-freedom ( TDOF ) systems and helps the construction of new algorithms for robust identification and control. It is more reasonable to teach the optimization of control systems using these components.

Software has been developed for automating the process of modeling ultrashort pulse radiation by broadband horn antennas. The influence of the duration of unipolar and bipolar voltage pulses exciting the antennas on the energy efficiency of their radiation is studied. It has been established that for each radiating antenna, regardless of the shape of the excitation pulse, there is approximately the same duration for which the maximum energy is radiated into space. It is shown that for equal energies of voltage pulses exciting antennas, the energy efficiency of radiation of bipolar pulses is higher than that of unipolar pulses.
