This paper proposes a new asymptotic attitude tracking controller for an underactuated 3-degree-of-freedom (DOF) laboratory helicopter system by using a nonlinear robust feedback and a neural network (NN) feedforward term. The nonlinear robust control law is developed through a modified inner-outer loop approach. The application of the NN-based feedforward is to compensate for the system uncertainties. The proposed control design strategy requires very limited knowledge of the system dynamic model, and achieves good robustness with respect to system parametric uncertainties. A Lyapunov-based stability analysis shows that the proposed algorithms can ensure asymptotic tracking of the helicopter's elevation and travel motion, while keeping the stability of the closed-loop system. Real-time experiment results demonstrate that the controller has achieved good tracking performance.

The Problem of control design for robotic arms manipulating unknown flexible payloads is considered in this paper, A novel scheme utilizing a force/torque sensor at the wrist of the manipulator is utilized, This choice of sensor is adequate to glean information about payload vibrations without outfitting the payload with sensors and offers the additional advantage of furnishing a minimum phase system, thus simplifying the control design, A controller utilizing wrist torque feedback from the sensor is designed as a function of the system parameters, An adaptive scheme for on-line identification of these parameters and adaptation of controller parameters is discussed, The proposed scheme is generic in regard to the nature of the flexible payload, as is shown through simulation studies, The scheme is implemented on a single-link manipulator carrying an unknown flexible payload, Simulation and experimental results validate the fact that the adaptive control maintains a robust performance for high speed slewing and varying payloads.

Given a linear, time-invariant, discrete-time plant, we consider the optimal control problem of minimizing, by choice of a stabilizing compensator, the seminorm of a selected closed-loop map in a basic feedback system. The seminorm can be selected to reflect any chosen performance feature and must satisfy only a mild condition concerning finite impulse responses. We show that if the plant has no poles or zeros on the unit circle, then the calculation of the minimum achievable seminorm is equivalent to the maximization of a linear objective over a convex set in a low-dimensional Euclidean space. Hence, for a wide variety of optimal control problems, one can compute the answer to an infinite-dimensional optimization by a finite-dimensional procedure. This allows the use of effective numerical methods for computation.

In order to investigate wheel slip-sinkage problem, which is important for the design, control and simulation of lunar rovers, experiments were carried out with a wheel-soil interaction test system to measure the sinkage of three types of wheels in dimension with wheel lugs of different heights and numbers under a series of slip ratios (0-0.6). The curves of wheel sinkage versus slip ratio were obtained and it was found that the sinkage with slip ratio of 0.6 is 3-7 times of the static sinkage. Based on the experimental results, the slip-sinkage principle of lunar's rover lugged wheels (including the sinkage caused by longitudinal flow and side flow of soil, and soil digging of wheel lugs) was analyzed, and corresponding calculation equations were derived. All the factors that can cause slip sinkage were considered to improve the conventional wheel-soil interaction model, and a formula of changing the sinkage exponent with the slip ratio was established. Mathematical model for calculating the sinkage of wheel according to vertical load and slip ratio was developed. Calculation results show that this model can predict the slip-sinkage of wheel with high precision, making up the deficiency of Wong-Reece model that mainly reflects longitudinal slip-sinkage.

This paper presents a type of vibration energy harvester combining a piezoelectric cantilever and a single degree of freedom (SDOF) elastic system. The main function of the additional SDOF elastic system is to magnify vibration displacement of the piezoelectric cantilever to improve the power output. A mathematical model of the energy harvester is developed based on Hamilton's principle and Rayleigh-Ritz method. Furthermore, the effects of the structural parameters of the SDOF elastic system on the electromechanical outputs of the energy harvester are analyzed numerically. The accuracy of the output performance in the numerical solution is identified from the finite element method (FEM). A good agreement is found between the numerical results and FEM results. The results show that the power output can be increased and the frequency bandwidth can be improved when the SDOF elastic system has a larger lumped mass and a smaller damping ratio. The numerical results also indicate that a matching load resistance under the short circuit resonance condition can obtain a higher current output, and so is more suitable for application to the piezoelectric energy harvester.

A simple, but effective, method of calibrating a multimanipulator robotic system is introduced. The algorithm uses precisely machined calibration plates which are inexpensive to manufacture and require no measuring instrumentation. The method is tested on a dual-arm system which resulted in an order of magnitude reduction in the pose error. Coordinated dual-arm manipulation experiments are conducted using the calibrated kinematic model to validate the usefulness of the calibration process.

The paper investigates the consensus problem of multiple nonholonomic systems. Two event-triggered control strategies, one centralized and the other distributed, are developed, which can reduce the frequency of control updating. Under the proposed protocols, the multiple nonholonomic systems can achieve consensus, and the bound of inter-event time intervals is provided to illustrate that no Zeno behavior exists. Finally, numerical simulations are also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control strategies.
