Model based design methodology is increasingly being used in the development of software for embedded controllers for safety class applications. SCADE Suite is a set of tools that support model based design of software for embedded systems. The model validation activity in SCADE involves model simulation guided by set of test cases that are based on system requirements (Functional or blackbox) and structural coverage criteria like MC/DC (Whitebox). However, systematically devising a test case based on such criterion is not easy and often the designer is required to analyze the model to design a test sequence, which will meet the required criteria. In this paper, we demonstrate the use of a technique based on model checking to automate the generation of such test cases for SCADE models. For automatic test case generation, the tool SAL-ATG was used that can generate the test cases for the models developed in SAL specification language. MCIDC coverage criterion was adopted for generating the test goals to be covered by generated test cases.

Recent advances in small, low cost satellite technology has generated a renewed interest in formation flying missions. One challenging aspect of satellite formation flying missions is collision free navigation and control. In this paper, novel robust control algorithm using Sliding Mode control is presented for a three-dimensional, high Earth orbit satellite formation scenario. The paper presents the comparison of results of three types of Sliding Mode controllers (SMC): the first one is a tan-hyperbolic SMC, the second one is a constant plus proportional rate SMC and the third one is a power rate SMC. Hybrid propulsion system minimises the use of on-board power for close formations. Artificial Potential Field method is used for collision-free path planning of the satellites in the formation. Simulation results show that for the formation flying scenario considered in this study, the constant plus proportional rate SMC and the power rate SMC gives better performance over the tan-hyperbolic SMC. Simulation results prove that for the tetrahedron formation considered in this study, the total control effort is less when the constant plus proportional rate controller and the power rate controller are used compared to the tan-hyperbolic sliding mode controller. Very little formation center movement is observed for the three SMCs.

Light weight robotic manipulators have significant advantages over their heavy counterparts in terms of efficiency of energy consumption and speed. However, they also have an inherent problem of vibrations which significantly affect their performance. control strategies need to be developed to control their vibrational behavior. Many different control strategies have already been developed and tested on the manipulators. However, not enough work has been done to test the Quantitative Feedback Theory, a frequency domain based robust control strategy. Though several nonlinear model/control based methods have been developed for control of single or serial flexible link manipulator, the domain of parallel flexible links manipulators is unexplored. QFT, being a robust control strategy, promises to exactly tackle these uncertainties in the manipulator. This project is aimed at analyzing the performance of a QFT based controller in controlling the vibrations in flexible multilink manipulator systems.

In this paper, we develop a mechanism to detect, model and track the shape of a contaminant cloud boundary using air borne sensor swarms. The cloud consists of a transparent gas of nuclear, biological or chemical contaminants and is spreading slowly in an urban environment. A group of UAVs, having the required sensors, are made to fly through the cloud to detect the boundary of the cloud. The shape of the cloud is modeled using splinegon. An observer is designed to track the movement of the cloud. The output of the observer is used in the path planning of the UAVs. The path planning is online, decentralized and considers obstacle avoidance and connectivity maintenance among the UAVs. Simulated experiments are carried out to test the proposed cloud tracking algorithm.

Motion planning and stabilization of the inverted pendulum on a cart is a much studied problem in the control community. We focus our attention on asymptotically stabilizing a vertically upright flexible beam fixed on a moving cart. The flexibility of the beam is restricted only to the direction along the traverse of the cart. The control objective is to attenuate the effect of disturbances on the vertically upright profile of the beam. The control action available is the motion of the cart. By regulating this motion, we seek to regulate the shape of the beam. The problem presents a combination of a system described by a partial differential equation (PDE) and a cart modeled as an ordinary differential equation (ODE) as well as controller which we restrict to an ODE. We set our problem in the port controlled Hamiltonian framework. The interconnection of the flexible beam to the cart is viewed as a power conserving interconnection of an infinite dimensional system to a finite dimensional system. The energy Casimir method is employed to obtain the controller. In this method, we look for some constants of motion which are invariant of the choice of controller Hamiltonian. These Casimirs relate the controller states to the states of the system. We finally prove stability of the equilibrium configuration of the closed loop system.
