The growing importance of automatic control for the design of new bogies for rail vehicles is becoming increasingly visible. Since the development process of novel designs also needs new development tools, software to extend the multibody program SIMPACK has been written recently to serve for the simulation of advanced rail vehicles. In this paper the mathematical modeling for a railway vehicle with active car body tilting is described and simulation results, applying the developed software, are shown and compared with experimental results from a prototype vehicle.

Most of the methods which are commonly used in parametric oriented robust control design and analysis require extensive symbolic and numerical computations. The Matlab toolbox PARADISE (PArametric Robustness Analysis and Design Interactive Software Environment) offers various methods of parametric robust control for an efficient application in a computer framework. Amongst the currently implemented methods are the parameter space approach, design in an invariance plane, calculation of stability profiles, and computation of stability radii. The application of the toolbox PARADISE is demonstrated by computation of stability radii for a state feedback controlled loading bridge.

We present a resolution complete point to point path planner for up to 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) robot manipulators, based on a discretized configuration space (C-space) representation. The robot operates in an initially known workspace (W-space). Vision integration in an easy way makes the planner capable of dealing with initially unknown obstacles. Furthermore, a Kohonen map based reorganization of the C-space increases the resolution in collision free regions of the C-space and enables path finding even for difficult paths. Experiments with low on-line computation times (lying in the order of a fraction of a second to a few seconds) demonstrate the effectiveness of the planner.

In this paper we describe a computational approach to the optimal output feedback control of multi-model systems by means of a unique constant output feedback matrix. Extension of the method to output feedback control of multi-model periodic systems is also presented. The power of the proposed approach is illustrated by the simultaneous stabilization and optimization of a helicopter multi-model.

The lateral and yaw motions of a car with active steering shall be decoupled. For an ideal longitudinal mass distribution assumption decoupling by yaw rate feedback has been shown to be robust with respect to uncertain nonlinear tire side force characteristic, velocity and vehicle mass. The restrictive mass distribution assumption is now abandoned and a generalized decoupling control law for arbitrary mass distribution is derived. A second feedback control law yields a unity transfer function from the steering wheel input to the lateral acceleration at a specific point in the front part of the car.

We discuss the numerical solution of the output feedback optimal periodic control problem by using a gradient search based optimization approach. For the evaluation of the cost function and its gradient explicit expressions are derived which involve the numerical solution of a pair of discrete-time periodic Lyapunov equations. Efficient numerically reliable algorithms based on the periodic Schur decomposition are proposed for the solution of these equations. The proposed algorithms are extensions of the methods proposed for standard systems. An example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the presented approach.

Four-wheel car steering is modelled by a single-track model with nonlinear tire characteristics. A generic yaw-rate feedback law for robust decoupling of lateral and yaw motion is derived. For robust yaw stabilization a velocity scheduled yaw-rate feedback to rear-wheel steering is given, by which the linearized yaw subsystem gets velocity independent eigenvalues.

The main features of DLR's dextrous robot hand as a modular component of a complete roboticssystem are outlined in this paper. The application of roboticssystems in unstructured servicing environments requires dextrous manipulation abilities and facilities to perform complex remote operations in a very flexible way. Therefore we have developed a multisensory articulated four finger hand, where all actuators are integrated in the hand's palm or the fingers directly. It is an integrated part of a complex light-weight manipulation system aiming at the development of robonauts for space. After a brief description of the hand and it's sensorial equipment the hard- and software architecture is outlined with particular emphasis on flexibility and performance issues. The hand is typically controlled through a data glove for telemanipulation and skill-transfer purposes. Autonomous grasping and manipulation capabilities are currently under development.
