Maintaining postural balance is a fundamental requirement for humanoid robots faced with unknown terrain or external perturbations. In this paper we present an observer-based balancing control strategy that is robust to persistent perturbations on the ground slope which is based on the estimation of the disturbance without the need for an inertial measurement unit. We use the workspace control method in combination with an observer to perform specific maneuvers while maintaining postural balance. We employ a linear observer, a gain-scheduling observer and an extended Kalman filter and compare the results obtained. For the control task considered, while the linear observer falls short in this setting, both the gain-scheduling observer and the extended Kalman filter perform well, which is confirmed by experimental results on a planar biped robot.

This article addresses the problem of Linear Active Disturbance Rejection control for a class of nonlinear mechanical input time delayed systems. To solve the problem, it is necessary to obtain a set of predictive lumped disturbance estimations, which is carried out by a purely linear high gain observer of Extended Luenberger type, denoted as a Generalized Proportional Integral (GPI) Observer. This task is performed using an approximation of the predictive disturbance using a truncated Taylor series expansion, where the set of necessary values for the estimation are provided by the observer. Once the (approximate) disturbance canceling is made, the control task is reduced to a simple linear Smith Predictor PD control, using the simplified model of the mechanical system. Some experimental results show the effectiveness of the strategy in a trajectory tracking task for a perturbed flywheel.

MEMS initiator has been developed rapidly for its low detonating power and small volume. MEMS metal bridge as one type of the MEMS initiators, which has the same process with ASIC (Application-specific integrated circuit). In this paper, one novel ASIC self-destruction technology in chip level mainly based on MEMS metal bridge initiator is presented. A typical experimental structure was designed. Based on this structure, a simulation model was built. Through the simulation, when the MEMS metal bridge made by proper material was excited by pulse current, the circuits of the ASIC could be destroyed immediately because of the electric blasting produced by excited metal bridge. The conclusion was that the self-destruction technology can achieve the self-destruction of ASIC in chip level.

In this paper, the output feedback stabilization problem for a class of discrete-time networked control systems (NCSs) with uncertain transition probability matrix and random packet dropouts are investigated. Random packet dropouts occurring in the sensor-to-controller (S-C) and controller-to-actuator (C-A) are modeled as Markov chain. The resulting closed-loop systems are modeled as discrete-time Markovian jump linear systems (MJLSs) with uncertain transition probability matrix. Sufficient conditions for existence of a output feedback controller which guarantees the stochastic stability of NCS are established based on stochastic Lyapunov function and linear matrix inequality approach. A simulation example illustrates the validity and feasibility of the results.

Localization is the crucial problem for mobile robot navigation. For indoor mobile robot, since a global positioning system (GPS) is incapable, another promising technique to detect the position is the received signal strength indicator (RSSI) from wireless communication. To improve the precision and robustness of mobile unit localization, an inertial measurement unit (IMU) is normally used. In this report, we propose the algorithm for mobile robot localization based on sensor fusion between RSSI from wireless local area network (WLAN) and an IMU. The proposed fusion scheme is based on the extended Kalman filter (EKF). The experiment is conducted by using mobile unit equipped with low-cost IMU and a wireless communication module together with access points to evaluate the performance of our algorithm, and the result is promising.

This paper proposed a linearized model of intelligent pneumatic actuator (IPA) based on the linearization technique known as Taylor series expansion. First, nonlinear mathematical modeling for the IPA system according to fundamental physical derivation is presented. Linearization is then introduced to linearize this nonlinear mathematical model. For the controller design, Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) is proposed. ANFIS, which combines neural network and fuzzy logic, are adopted and applied to the linear mathematical model to perform position, force and viscosity controls. By training the correct data, membership functions for the fuzzy logic can be obtained through ANFIS toolbox in MATLAB. Closed-loop control for IPA system is conducted and performance the Proportional-Integral (PI) ANFIS controller is analyzed and compared with conventional PI controller. Simulation results show that PI ANFIS controller performed better than conventional PI controller in terms of position, force tracking and viscosity control.

This paper presents a basic research results to visualize the micro-movement of formant tracks for the purpose of using it to analyze speech signal on the research of speech analysis and synthesis etc. Current analysis method on formant is mainly focusing on analysis of static statistical characteristics. But dynamic information about changing vowels is hard to acquire using conventional statistical results such as mean, variance etc. In this experiment we propose a new visualization method to display the dynamic behavior of vowel changes according to the micro movement of formant on vowel space.

The paper is concerned with the control of doubly fed induction generator applied in wind power technology. Assuming stator flux oriented vector control, the torque and power relations are derived. Using the relations, the slip versus torque and slip versus stator reactive power characteristics are drafted in subsynchronous and in supersynchronous state for investigating the control possibilities of the generator side converter supplying the rotor circuit. The effects of the d and q component of the converter output voltage for the torque, power and speed are studies in qualitative and quantitative way. The active and reactive power flows in stator and rotor side are shown.
