Active counter-force vibration control has significant advantages over the more traditional motion-based active vibration suppression schemes. A piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) inertial actuator is an efficient and inexpensive solution for this type of structural vibration control. In order to properly tune the control parameters of the absorber subsection, an accurate mathematical model is necessary. For this, a nonlinear model for the PZT inertial actuators is presented. In particular, a polynomial form of non-linearity in the dynamical model of the actuator is assumed. An inverse problem is then formed to identify the model parameters of the actuator (absorber). The model parameters consist of the effective mass, damping and stiffness of the actuator as well as the polynomial form of the non-linearity. Using Lyapunov's second method, the stability conditions for the proposed nonlinear model are established. An experimental setup is developed to validate the proposed nonlinear model. The results of the model identification using the actual experimental data demonstrate that the nonlinear model would better fit the experimental data, when compared to the linear model.

An exponentially stable variable structure controller is presented for regulation of the angular velocity of a lightweight one-link flexible robot arm, while simultaneously stabilizing vibration transient in the arm. By properly selecting a sliding hyperplane, the non-homogenous governing equations are converted to homogenous ones, and hence, analytically solvable. The controller is then designed based on the original infinite dimensional distributed system which, in turn, removes some disadvantages associated with the truncated-model-base controllers. Utilizing only the arm base angular position and tip deflection for the controller, an on-line perturbation estimation routine is introduced to overcome the measurement imperfections and the ever-present unmodeled dynamics. Depending on the composition of the controller, some favorable features appear such as elimination of control spillovers, suppression of residual oscillations and simplicity of the control implementation. Numerical simulations along with an experimental setup are provided to verify the theoretical concept and validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

One of recent achievements in the field of nonlinear /spl Hscr//sub /spl infin// optimal control theories for Euler-Lagrange systems is the analytic solution to the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) equation associated to the so-called nonlinear /spl Hscr//sub /spl infin// inverse-optimal control. In this paper, we address the problem of nonlinear /spl Hscr//sub /spl infin// optimal control design for an Euler-Lagrange system, rather than the inverse-optimal problem. By introducing a technique of control weight loosening and state weight strengthening, we show that the associated HJI inequality, not the equation, for nonlinear /spl Hscr//sub /spl infin// optimal control can be solved also analytically using the inverse-optimal solution.

This paper proposes a method to accommodate multiple tasks for redundancy utilization, which is based on a specific weighted pseudo-inverse. The proposed method also has task priority imposition property same as those conventional task priority based methods. In order to deal with general situations of task specification, the so-called semi-definitely weighted pseudo-inverse is devised.

This paper presents the concept, design, analytical modeling and experimental prototype for a new "smart connector", which provides electrical and mechanical connection between components of a system, specifically robotic modules. The connector includes plug and receptacle components. The plug has a central pin surrounded by a plurality of lamellae. The lamellae have an end connected to the base and a free end. A shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator is positioned about the lamellae of the plug for controlling the movement of the free end of the lamellae. The receptacle, which includes an SMA actuator, has a pin housing corresponding to the central pin of the plug. In another configuration, the plug and receptacle are positioned side by side to provide a universal connector. The connector can transmit axial force through the lamellae, shear force through the receptacle and plug housings, and torque in the case of universal configuration. The disconnection can be controlled from plug and/or receptacle side(s).

CaPaMan (Cassino parallel manipulator) is a three-degree of freedom parallel mechanism that has been designed and built at the Laboratory of robotics and mechatronics in Cassino. In the paper a study of the configuration singularities of the CaPaMan manipulator is presented by considering two different methods: an algebraic formulation and a vector analysis. It is shown that a formulation can give singularity related to the failure of the kinematic model at particular configurations of the manipulator. It is also proved that this type of singularity can be avoided by a proper analysis of the problem.

Vibration suppression can be performed by digital filtering the input to the flexible system. Traditional digital filters have been proved to be efficient for vibration suppression, when they are properly designed, In order to ensure the proper filter design, the Delay-Error-Order (DEO) curves are introduced, to be used as a filter design tool. Based on the DEO curves, the vibration suppression properties and capabilities of the filter can be related with the design parameters involved in the traditional filter design methods. Using the DEO curves, the filters designed by means of conventional design methods posses excellent vibration suppression capabilities. This design procedure is presented in detail in this paper and an example of the application of the method is included.

In this paper, the neural network force control is presented. Under the framework of impedance control, neural network is used to compensate for all the uncertainties from robot dynamics and unknown environment. A modified simple impedance function is realized after the convergence of the neural network. Learning algorithms for the neural network to minimize the force error directly are designed. As a test-bed, the large X-Y table robot was implemented. Experimental results obtained show better force tracking when the neural network is used.

Robust steering control is used here for improving the yaw dynamics of a passenger car. A specific two degree of freedom control structure is adapted to the vehicle yaw dynamics problem and shown to robustly improve performance. The design study is based on six operating conditions for vehicle speed and the coefficient of friction between the tires and the road representing the operating domain of the vehicle. The relevant design specifications are formulated as attaining Hurwitz stability and a mixed sensitivity frequency domain bound. Simple, and therefore, easily implementable controller transfer functions with two design parameters are chosen for the two steering controller degrees of freedom. Using the parameter space method, the design specifications are mapped into the plane of controller parameters. The effectiveness of the final design is demonstrated using simulations.

It is shown how a passive multiple trailer system is designed and controlled for practical applications. The main focus is reducing the trajectory tracking error and the scope of the paper is limited to the passive systems due to the cost and simplicity of the trailer mechanism. Three kinds of passive trailers are introduced, and then the analysis of path tracking performance is carried out, in order to show that the proposed off-hooked trailer is advantageous in a practical sense. Stability, issues are discussed with constant reference velocity. Numerical simulation results and experimental results are presented.
