Estimation of an accurate frequency response function (FRF) of a target system is crucial to design fine servo controllers that realize fast and precise positioning control. The empirical transfer function estimation (ETFE) is the most representative and simplest FRF estimation method in terms of industrial utility. However, its applicability is limited to input and output signals of a target system measured during periodic or reciprocating operations, due to leakage errors induced by the discrete Fourier transform. Recently, an FRF estimation method combining ETFE with differential filtering has been proposed, which enables accurate FRF estimation in point-to-point motion. This paper theoretically clarifies the relationship between leakage-free condition and the differential filtering order in the ETFE-based FRF estimation framework. Furthermore, it is demonstrated through simulations that increasing the differential filtering order can broaden the input and output signals acquisition conditions that enables accurate FRF estimation.

The rising interest in energy efficiency for hydraulic systems directs the research towards electro-hydraulic drives, namely linear actuators (i.e., hydraulic cylinders) directly coupled to pumps driven by electric motors. This approach removes functional power dissipations, enables energy recovery, and facilitates system commissioning. However, these drives are characterized by inherently low damping that causes unwanted payload oscillations and deteriorates the position control’s accuracy of the actuator. Adding active damping via proper control techniques is essential. Hence, this paper develops a model-based design for closed-loop position control with the addition of high-pass-filtered pressure feedback. The model supports identifying crucial control parameters, such as the proportional and integral gains of the position feedback and the gain and time constant of the pressure feedback. This method is experimentally tested on a heavy-duty robotic manipulator. The results show that the payload oscillations are reduced dramatically, and the position tracking is accurate and robust for different load cases.

Frequency modulation continuous wave (FMCW) LiDAR is valued for its robustness in harsh environments like rain, snow, and fog. It measures distance by detecting interference frequencies between transmitted and received beams, typically using Fast Fourier Transform(FFT). However, FFT is slow in achieving high-resolution frequency measurements. This study proposes using a frequency-to-voltage converter (FVC) for faster measurement through one-shot conversion. Despite its speed, FVC introduces ripple noise, reducing resolution. To mitigate this noise, a frequency control technique shifts the frequency to minimize ripple noise, indirectly measuring the interference frequency. The paper provides mathematical analysis and experimental validation of this method.

This work presents the development and system integration of a ground agricultural mobile manipulator robot that is capable of traversing a field in order to monitor the health of the field and crops. The robotic platform consists of a 4-wheeled drive base rover that has a 6 degrees of freedom (DOF) robotic manipulator attached to it, which is equipped with a multitude of sensors that are used for navigation, crop inspection, and soil monitoring. To accurately measure the moisture of the soil using the moisture probe, the insertion process is very important, as the probe has to be inserted to the correct depth and be flush with the soil. It is for this reason, that the insertion process is difficult, as the field can be rough and uneven terrain. Utilizing a camera attached to the wrist of the robotic manipulator, the soil insertion process can be adjusted to more accurately insert the soil probe into the terrain with a varying degree of slopes. Along with detecting the slope of the soil to perform an accurate soil insertion, the robotic system is capable of detecting plants in various stages of development, and capture images to visually determine the crops health. The successful operation of the robot for in-situ soil measurements, crops image capturing, plant’s physical characteristics detection, and an autonomous soil slope alignment for sensor insertion have been demonstrated.
