This paper proposes a novel closed-loop PD controller based on kinematic for continuum manipulator with twin-pivot compliant joints. The purpose of the twin-pivot compliant joints is to decrease the twisting angle caused by gravity of manipulator and payload. We build the forward and inverse kinematic to control the end-effector of continuum manipulator with twin-pivot compliant joints. In this paper, first we build forward and inverse kinematic of continuum manipulator with twin-pivot compliant joints. We then build the controller based on kinematic models for a continuum manipulator with 24 Degrees of Freedom (DoF). Finally, simulation studies are carried out to test the proposed approach.

Numerous control techniques are developed for miniature unmanned helicopters to do hover operation with each methods having its own advantages and limitations. During the hover operation helicopters suffer from unknown external disturbances such as wind and ground effect. For a stable operation, these disturbances must be compensated accurately. This paper presents a disturbance observer based sliding mode control technique for small-scale unmanned helicopters to do hover operation in presence of external disturbances. To counteract both matched and mismatched uncertainties a new sliding surface is designed based on the disturbances estimations. The controller design is based on the linearized state-space model of the helicopter which effectively describes helicopter dynamics during the hover operations. The model mismatch and external disturbances are estimated as lumped disturbances and are compensated in the controller design. The proposed controller reduces chattering and is capable of handling matched and mismatched uncertainties. The control performance is successfully tested in Simulink.

In this paper, a neural network (NN) tracking controller is developed for robot manipulators. To deal with the unknown dynamics of the robot systems, radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is integrated into the adaptive control design to compensate for the uncertainties. In order to achieve the predefined transient tracking performance, time-varied barrier Lyapunov functions (BLFs) are synthesized for the control design. A switching mechanism is incorporated into the controller to achieve a global uniformly ultimately boundedness (GUUB) stability, extending the conventional semiglobal uniformly ultimately boundedness (SGUUB) stability of NN controlsystems, such that requirement on the initial conditions can be relaxed. Simulations studies are performed to illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed control scheme using a robot manipulator model.

The traditional 3D human motion capture methods require operators to wear tracking sensors on their body. However, these devices would bring operators much inconvenience. Currently, vision based motion capture systems provide us an alternative approach for motion capture technology. In this paper, based on human kinematics and function approximation technique (FAT), a novel method is presented for the trajectory control of Baxter robot. Each arm of the Baxter robot has seven degrees of freedom. The geometry vector approach is applied to capture human motion trajectory by using Microsoft Kinect sensor. A FAT control system is employed to make the robot follow the trajectory of human motion. The UDP communication protocol is employed to send the reference human joint angle data to the robot. We carry out preliminary experiments on Baxter robot to verify the validity of the control approach and the results demonstrate that the method has achieved satisfactory performance.

Addressing the extremely high reliability is a critical problem of wireless control system in actual industrial applications. In this paper fully considering the characteristics of the wireless network transmission and industrial automation application, a grouping TDMA access approach based on multiple access points is proposed. The main idea is that: redundant multiple access points are applied in communication to improve the system reliability, multiple time synchronizations are made because of beacon frames of multiple access points to improve the accuracy, and ACK is replied by reliable access point to reduce retransmission and improve resource utilization. Finally, a corresponding access device is designed and implemented. Experiments show that it can meet the harsh requirements for the communication in control loops and demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
