This paper describes the research activities at the laboratory for controlsystems and automation (LCA) which is a section of the Production Department of Korea Advanced institute of Science and Technology (KAIST). LCA's research activities are focused on providing fundamental technologies to cope with the current trends in manufacturing automation. The R & D activities at the laboratory cover diverse areas. The research activities at the laboratory are classified into three sections—robotics and automation, fluid servo control, and manufacturing process control. Detailed explanations are given here on robotics and its application to automation. As a laboratory belonging to a nation's leading educational institution, LCA also conducts active educational activities. Such educational programs are also introduced in detail.

By introducing a deadwzone scheme, a new neural network based adaptive iterative learning control (ILC) (NN-AILC) scheme is presented for nonlinear discrete-time systems, where the NN weights are time-varying. The most distinct contribution of the proposed NN-AILC is the relaxation of the identical conditions of initial state and reference trajectory, which are common requirements in traditional ILC problems. Convergence analysis indicates that the tracking error converges to a bounded ball, whose size is determined by the dead-zone nonlinearity. computer simulations verify the theoretical results.
This paper extends former results about the networked reference tracking control of a pressurizer in a pressurized water nuclear power plant. An L2-gain based method is used in a deterministic framework to compute the...

Improving the control of shading blinds, lights, natural ventilation, and HVAC systems while satisfying human comfort requirements can result in significant energy cost savings with time-of-day electricity pricing. Traditionally, the above-mentioned devices are controlled separately. In this paper, a novel formulation for the integrated control and the corresponding solution methodology are presented. The problem is to minimize daily energy costs of lights and HVAC systems while satisfying equipment capacities, system dynamics, and human comfort. The problem is complicated since 1) individual rooms are coupled as they compete for the HVAC with limited capacity and nonlinear characteristics, and 2) the problem is believed to be NP-hard in view that decision variables are all discrete. A solution methodology that combines Lagrangian relaxation and stochastic dynamic programming is developed within the surrogate optimization framework to obtain near-optimal strategies. These strategies are further refined to become novel control rules for easy practical implementation. Numerical simulation results show that both of the above strategies can effectively reduce the total energy cost, and that the integrated control works better than selected traditional control strategies.
