In this paper, the authors studied the implementation issues of an explicit model predictive controller on a programmable electronic device. For the implementation of this controller is considered the programmable controller architecture, hardware and software level, so the performance is optimized ensuring the feasibility of functioning. The main outcome is a series of recommendations to help implement the explicit MPC, which are applied to design the MPC of a DC-DC converter.

This paper characterizes the technical difficulties and challenges faced when testing complex avionics software. With this as background, a unique Simulation Testing Framework (STF) will be introduced. The basic principles of the STF, associated technology and tools are then presented in detail and include both strategy and process of defining test methods as well as the software architecture of the distributed simulation test system (DSTS).

In this paper, a microgrid hierarchical control scheme is proposed which includes primary and secondary control levels. The primary level comprises distributed generators (DGs) local controllers. The local controller mainly consists of active and reactive power controllers, voltage and current controllers, and virtual impedance loop. A novel virtual impedance structure is proposed to achieve proper sharing of non-fundamental power among the microgrid DGs. The secondary level is designed to manage compensation of voltage harmonics at the microgrid load bus (LB) to which the sensitive loads may be connected. Also, restoration of LB voltage amplitude and microgrid frequency to the rated values is directed by the secondary level. These functions are achieved by sending proper control signals to the local controllers. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

In this research, particle swann optimisation (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) are used to model a single-link flexible manipulator. Investigations focus on characterizing the system from input torque to hub-angle, hub-velocity and end-point acceleration. A simulation environment characterizing the system behaviour in vertical motion is used as a platfonn to test and verifY the PSO and GA based transfer function models. The environment is based on finite difference discretisation of the goveming dynamic equation of motion of the system. The system is treated as a single-input multioutput system, and the input/output data collected is used with PSO and GA to develop models of the system based on autoregressive moving average model structure and one-step-ahead prediction. Comparative assessment of the results is presented and discussed in the time and frequency domains.

This paper presents mathematical modelling of a single-link flexible manipulator in vertical plane motion. This extends the previously developed mathematical model for motion in the horizontal plane, where the effects of gravity, rotary inertia and shear deformation were ignored. The dynamic model of the system is obtained using the Lagrange equation. The finite difference method is used to transform this into a discrete formulation. The dynamic behaviour of the system in vertical motion is studied using the developed algorithm. Simulation results of the response of the manipulator are assessed in comparison to corresponding theoretical ones in the time and the frequency domains to verify the accuracy of the algorithm in characterizing the behaviour of the flexible manipulator system.

Telerobotics is one of the most traditional fields of robotics and it played a crucial role in the history of robotics and of the mankind, especially in the areas of space and undersea exploration and of remote material handling. On the other hand, teleoperation is still a very active research area and many problems are still open. In particular, the design of the control strategy for coupling local and remote site is of paramount importance for implementing telepresence, namely the feeling of being directly interacting with the remote environment. The IEEE RAS Technical Committee on Telerobotics would like to propose a half-day tutorial for illustrating several successful control strategies for implementing high performance bilateral teleoperation systems.

Because the structure and function of a high-rise building is complex and the density of occupants in it is high, fire safety is still a worldwide difficult problem. Safety and timely evacuation is an important issue under fire in the high-rise buildings. Because it is impossible in fact to do experiments about fire safety evacuation in high-rise buildings, in this paper, a research framework based on the artificial system, computational experiments, and parallel excution (ACP) theory is proposed. First, an evacuation process is considered to compose of two stages including pre-evacuation stage and evacuation stage. Second, artifical men with recognition functions based agent technology is proposed. Finally, computational experiments are designed by using an orthogonal experiment table, and experiment procedure of pre-evacuation stage is given. The idea of systimatic research about the influence of fire control facilities to evacuation is also proposed.

To solve the regulator problem of a class of uncertain MIMO nonlinear systems subject to control input constraint, three types of time-varying sliding mode control laws are proposed. The sliding surfaces pass the initial value of the system at the initial time, and are shifted/rotated towards the predetermined ones. The controller parameters are optimized by genetic algorithm (GA). Lyapunov method is adopted to prove the stability and robustness to the parameter uncertainties and external disturbance. By mean of time-varying sliding mode control law, the reaching phase in the conventional sliding mode control is eliminated, and the system is guaranteed to have robustness from the very beginning. Taking the control of two-link manipulator and attitude tracking of rigid spacecraft as two examples, we illustrate the features of the time-varying sliding mode control. The simulation results show the validity of the control law to a class of uncertain MIMO systems. Better robustness against the uncertainties and external disturbance could be achieved by time-varying sliding mode control without violating the constraint on control input.

As reported in earlier work, methods for hybrid optimal control can be used for optimal path planning of multi-agent systems. This paper considers a multi-vehicle transport scenario in which a hybrid model is used to represent the continuous dynamics of the vehicle motion and the dynamics arising from the docking-events between vehicles and a transported object. The decisions on the vehicles' heading and speed as well as on the docking sequence are strongly coupled and require a tailored numeric solution. The paper proposes a hierarchical solution strategy with three layers: on the upper layer a discrete event sequencing problem is solved, the middle layer determines docking positions and times, and the lower layer provides optimal vehicle paths. By a combination of graph search and embedded continuous optimal control, the efficiency of obtaining (sub-)optimal solutions is improved. The algorithm is illustrated by a scenario in which three vehicles transport one object.
