In this paper, a structural design method of sliding mode controller, which makes it possible to predict the performance of the closed loop system, is proposed. First, a general sliding mode controller is derived and a stabilizing control input is designed based on Lyapunov redesign for the system in the presence of uncertainty and disturbance. And adopting the internal model following control, robust internal-loop compensator(RIC) is proposed. Next, using the structural characteristics of the RIC, disturbance attenuation property is analyzed and the performance of the closed-loop system of sliding mode controller is predicted. The proposed performance predictable design of sliding mode controller provides a systematic approach to the problem of robust stability and performance specifications in the presence of uncertainty.

This work introduces a new architecture for a parallel, six degree of freedom manipulator. The kinematic analysis of this redundant manipulator is provided. The proposed parallel mechanism allows easy implementation of redundant actuators, and has relatively large workspace in comparison to conventional six degree of freedom parallel devices. The kinematic analysis performed forms the basis for the introduction of design criteria for the manipulator. Several design criteria are introduced and their use is illustrated by example design involving an initial geometric parameter analysis of the manipulator.

There are those who now think that traditional library services, such as cataloging and reference, will no longer be needed in the future, or at least will be fully automated. Others are equally adamant that human intervention is not only important but essential. Underlying such positions are a host of assumptions - about the continued existence and place of paper, the role of human intelligence and interpretation, the nature of research, and the significance of the human element. This panel brings together experts in libraries and digital technology to uncover such issues and assumptions and to discuss and debate the place of people and machines in cataloging and reference work.

This paper describes a behavior-based method of controlling an autonomous skid-steer robot operating in an unknown environment. We introduce a new modular, neural-fuzzy system called a threshold fuzzy system (TFS). Supervised training, using error backpropagation, is used to find optimal parameters of the TFS. In this paper, a TFS controller is developed for a skid-steer autonomous vehicle system (AVS). Several hundred simulations are conducted and results for the AVS are compared (favorably) with a traditional neural network approach.

In this paper, a solution to a manipulation control problem (target identification and grasping) using a real platform in combination with a vision system is proposed. The task for the end-effector is to approach a randomly placed spherical object of known size. The control law is approximated by using an approach based on fuzzy logic. The controller determines the parameters of the target (a spherical object acquired from the vision system mounted on the manipulator) using a vision algorithm. The fuzzy rules are built in a supervised way, after studying the behavior of the system. Experimental results obtained using an industrial manipulator (AM1 with 6 DOF model in Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Korea) are presented.

Sensor-friendly vehicle and roadway systems consist of complementary signal sensor and reflector or transmitter technologies, which provide information about the threat of a collision. These technologies can be composed into cooperative collision avoidance systems, which can supplement or replace single vehicle-based systems. Experiments were run on the four most promising technologies to determine their performance and reliability; the four technologies were passive license plates with enhanced radar return, roadside obstacle-mounted radar-reflecting corner cubes, fluorescent paint for lane and obstacle marking, and light emitting diode brake-light messaging. These technologies all focus on improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the collision avoidance sensor. We believe that experimental results indicate that further proof-of-concept refinements are needed, but in general these systems represent technologically sound, cooperative vehicle-roadway components and that sensor friendly systems could eventually translate into a significant benefit in terms of lives saved.

Summary form only given. We report the room temperature operation of a novel unipolar self-organized quantum dot FIR laser (13.3 /spl mu/m) based on transitions between discrete bound electron states in self-organized dots. A typical photoluminescence spectrum of InGaAs-GaAs self-organized quantum dots is shown.
