We consider the feedback stabilization of nonlinear systems. The design methodology is based on a class of iterative methods, which has previously been proposed for the path planning and feedback stabilization of nonholonomic systems. We show that this scheme guarantees the closed loop asymptotic stability for a class of nonlinear systems.

In this paper, active control of flexible structures through utilization of structure mounted sensors and actuators is considered. Specifically, dynamic feedback design utilizing signals from the accelerometer mounted on the structure is discussed. Furthermore, utilization of piezoceramics for sensing and actuation to provide a higher level of control for vibration damping is investigated. The flexible pointing system considered here is the test-bed at the Army Research Development engineeringcenter (ARDEC), which is a scaled-down representation of real-life targetting systems. This setup is also a nice benchmark problem for system identification and different control design philosophies. The approaches advocated here are based on Youla's parametrization of stabilizing controllers, Wiener-Hopf design and decentralized frequency shaping. Modelling aspects for the setup, taking all the structural intricacies into account, are discussed. The preliminary results indicate a significant improvement in performance through utilization of these control schemes.

The design of a performance constrained stable system is discussed in this paper. The analysis of performance constrained stabilization (PCS) problem is presented with the results obtained through Lyapunov direct method. The performance measurement of the process is incorporated with the stability of the system in order to guide the design of the systems under the perturbations and disturbance.

The authors utilize a class of Petri nets, called colored Petri nets (C/P-nets), to induce patterns of behavior in synchronization structures. These patterns of behavior locally specify the interactions between the distributed system's processes. The induction of patterns of behavior in synchronization structures results in the specification of coordination structures. A coordination structure is a specification of the interaction behavior of a distributed system's processes in a particular context. C/P-nets are used for the differentiation of the system's context-sensitive variables and the representation of their instantiations. The three possible interactions between any two concurrent processes of the distributed system are specified.< >

The authors discuss a system, called AMP-CAD, which develops assembly motion plans using CAD models of parts. They place an emphasis on the calculation of the potential fields used for motion planning. Potential fields can be thought of as a mechanism to interface CAD representations with plan development. AMP-CAD is a complete system that combines an assembly representation, a two-phase motion planner, and a execution unit into a single integrated package. Implementation and experimental results are discussed.< >

The problem of transforming a class of linear time-varying continuous time systems into controllable and observable block companion canonical forms is considered. In terms of system block controllability (observability) matrix, this paper generalizes the results of Shieh et al. [3] and provides systematic and straightforward algorithms for obtaining block companion canonical forms. An example is provided to illustrate this transformation technique.

The intelligent coordination of multiple robots requires modularization of robots at some level higher than the joint, corresponding task representations, and a concept of time that allows the dynamic specification of task synchronization. The necessary representations of robots and tasks are developed, and the structural and operational semantics of the primitive task and reflex models are specified. A concept of time, called functional time-dependency, that allows the dynamic specification of the distributed semantics during task execution by multiple robots is developed. The utility of functional time-dependency is shown using two examples.< >

详细信息
The stability of linear systems subject to possibly fast time-varying uncertainties is analyzed. A necessary and sufficient condition of quadratic stability is derived. An uncertainty stability margin coefficient rho is introduced to give a quantitative measure of the stability. It is proposed that the uncertain region be approximated by a convex hyperpolyhedron. In this case, the computation of rho becomes a two-level optimization problem, in which the extremum of the inner level can be reached by one of the corners of the hyperpolyhedron.

This paper proposes an alternate approach for adaptive robust control of linear systems with structured, wide-ranging parametric uncertainties. The overall scheme consists of two steps; namely, off-line design of a robust observer for the partial states of the system, and design of an on-line adaptive pole placement scheme. It is shown that by using this approach, both direct as well as indirect adaptive pole placement can be achieved. Proofs of stability of the schemes are also given.

详细信息
An algebra of Petri nets for the dynamic specification of the distributed semantics of task synchronization in hierarchical multiagent robotic systems is developed. The proposed algebra allows for the hierarchical specification of the flow of control and the temporal order of task execution by multiagent systems. Each level of the resulting hierarchies horizontally contains the synchronization structure of task execution and vertically is a generalization of the level below and a specialization of the level above. The horizontal synchronization structures developed by the proposed Petri net model maintain the desirable properties of safeness and liveness by construction. The model utilizes a modularization of complex kinematic chains, a classification of primitive tasks, and a concept of functional time dependency.< >
