This paper presents a design of continuous-time sliding mode control for the higher order systems via reduced order model. It is shown that a continuous-time sliding mode control designed for the reduced order model gives similar performance for thc higher order system. The method is illustrated by numerical examples. The paper also introduces a technique for design of a sliding surface such that the system satisfies a cost-optimality condition when on the sliding surface.

The main objective of this work is to develop a user friendly GUI developed in JAVA language for manoeuvring a mobile robot named 'OCTAGON' with algorithms for obstacle avoidance in its path of motion. A user-friendly module is designed and successfully implemented for the operation of the entire system to do some specific operations. OCTAGON employs a sophisticated application - controlling interface created in JAVA, as it is a fantastic programming language for any application software development. The software module application facilitates the user interaction with OCTAGON and has many in built features such as the security and authentication. When the java code is executed, the default GUI screen appears as shown in the Fig. 2 and all the motors status is displayed. For activating a particular motion, we can navigate to its page by selected the left hand menu. The software is designed for maximum robot control & working efficiency. It is so designed such that the user can have complete control over each movable part of the robot. Also, the user can easily maneuver the robot & make it traverse a path towards the object to be picked. He or she can then manipulate the different limbs of the robotic arm so that the gripper comes closer to the object & eventually picks it up. Throughout this process the software interface guides the user through the usage of various parts of the robot & provides him with responses from the robot. Given the time on hand, the ease of programming and power of JAVA, it was an ideal choice for use in designing our application interface to the octagon.

Quantitative safety assessment of safety systems plays an important role in decision making at all stages of system lifecycle, i.e., design, deployment and phase out. Most safety assessment methods consider only system parameters, such as configuration, hazard rate, coverage, repair rate, etc. along with periodic proof-tests (or inspection). Not considering demand rate will give a pessimistic safety estimate for an application with low demand rate such as nuclear power plants, chemical plants, etc. In this paper, a basic model of IEC 61508 is used. The basic model is extended to incorporate process demand and behavior of electronic- and/or computer-based system following diagnosis or proof-test. A new safety index, probability of failure on actual demand (PFAD) based on extended model and demand rate is proposed. Periodic proof-test makes the model semi-Markovian, so a piece-wise continuous time Markov chain (CTMC) based method is used to derive mean state probabilities of elementary or aggregated state. Method to determine probability of failure on demand (PFD) (IEC 61508) and PFAD based on these state probabilities are described. In example, safety indices of PFD and PFAD are compared.
In MPC relevant identification, it is necessary to identify models that are suited for multi-step ahead predictions. This can be achieved by minimizing the multi-step ahead prediction error in the identification stage...

Occurrences of sensor / actuator failures can lead to significant degradation in the closed loop performance when conventional feedback controllers are used. In this work, we propose an active failure tolerant LQG (FTLQG) control scheme, which employs model based fault diagnosis for on-line reconfiguration of state estimator on diagnosis of failures. Generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) method proposed in the literature is extended for diagnosis of sensor failures. Recurrence relationships are derived for diagnosing sensor failures, which are amenable for on-line computations. The efficacy of the proposed FTLQG scheme is demonstrated using simulation and experimental studies on a laboratory scale heater-mixer setup.

In this work, a nonlinear output error type model with Weiner structure has been developed for capturing dynamics of multivariable nonlinear systems with fading memory. The linear dynamic part of the Wiener model is parameterized using ortho-normal basis filters (OBF).The identified OBF-Wiener model is further used to derive a closed form multi-step quadratic control law in nonlinear internal model control framework. The efficacy of the proposed closed form control law is demonstrated by conducting simulation studies on peak seeking control of (a) Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cell (PEMFC) system and (b) Continuous Fermenter system. As these systems exhibit input multiplicities and change in the sign of the steady state gain(s) in the operating region, the resulting control problems are difficult to handle. In both the cases, the proposed control law achieves a smooth transition form a sub-optimal operating point to the optimum operating point without causing large variation in manipulated inputs.
