Abstract With the development of artificial intelligence technology, various sectors of industry have developed. Among them, the autonomous vehicle industry has developed considerably, and research on self-driving control systems using artificial intelligence has been extensively conducted. Studies on the use of image-based deep learning to monitor autonomous driving systems have recently been performed. In this paper, we propose an advanced control for a serving robot. A serving robot acts as an autonomous line-follower vehicle that can detect and follow the line drawn on the floor and move in specified directions. The robot should be able to More >

Abstract Proportional-Integral-Derivative control system has been widely used in industrial applications. For uncertain and unstable systems, tuning controller parameters to satisfy the process requirements is very challenging. In general, the whole system’s performance strongly depends on the controller’s efficiency and hence the tuning process plays a key role in the system’s response. This paper presents a robust optimal Proportional-Integral-Derivative controller design methodology for the control of unstable delay system with parametric uncertainty using a combination of Kharitonov theorem and genetic algorithm optimization based approaches. In this study, the Generalized Kharitonov Theorem (GKT) for quasi-polynomials is employed… More >

Abstract Since the voltage source converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) systems owns the features of nonlinearity, strong coupling and multivariable, the classical proportional integral (PI) control is hard to obtain content control effect. Hence, a new perturbation observer based fractional-order PID (PoFoPID) control strategy is designed in this paper for (VSC-HVDC) systems with offshore wind integration, which can efficiently boost the robustness and control performance of entire system. Particularly, it employs a fractional-order PID (FoPID) framework for the sake of compensating the perturbation estimate, which dramatically boost the dynamical responds of the closed-loop system, More >

Abstract In order to optimize heat transfer in a heat exchanger using an ARM (advanced RISC machine) core intelligent computer algorithm, a new type of controller has been designed. The whole control structure of the heat exchange unit has been conceived on the basis of seven functional modules, including data processing and output, human-computer interaction, alarm, and data communication. The main controller and communication controller have been used in a combined fashion and a new MCU (micro control unit) system scheme has been proposed accordingly. A fuzzy controller has been designed by using a fuzzy control More >

Abstract The objective of this paper is to design a new Quadrotor Autonomous Following System, and the main three contents are as follows: Object tracking, quadrotor attitude determination and the controller. The image tracking portion performs object detection and keeps tracking by way of the Tracking-Learning-Detection (TLD), and gets the information of the target motion estimation positions. The attitude determination of the Quadrotor has adopted the Inertial Navigation System and sensors of the accelerometer, gyroscope and electronic compass, etc. for retrieving the information. The Kalman filter is also utilized for estimating the current values in order More >

Abstract On the basis of JADE (adaptive differential evolution with optional external archive) and the modified differential evolution with p-best crossover (MDE_pBX), this study attempts to propose a modified mutation strategy termed "DE/(pbest)/1" for the differential evolution (DE) algorithm, where “(pbest)” represents the mean of p top-best vectors. Two modified parameter adaptation mechanisms are also proposed to update the crossover rate and the scale factor, respectively, in an adaptive manner. The DE variant with the proposed mutation strategy and two modified adaptation mechanisms is termed adaptive differential evolution with mean-of-pbest mutation strategy, denoted by ADE_pBM is comparable to or More >

Abstract Due to the coupled motion between the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and the manipulator, the underactuation characteristics of the system itself, and the influence of external uncertainties, the stability of the rotor UAV’s manipulator control system is difficult to control. Based on the dynamic model of the rotor UAV, the stability of the whole UAV manipulator control system is improved by using the piecewise cost function, the compression factor particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the sliding mode PID to establish the sliding mode PID control stability method based on the PSO. Compared with More >

Abstract In this paper; the dynamic characteristics of a semi-active magnetorheological fluid (MRF) engine mount are studied. To do so, the performance of the MRF engine mount is experimentally examined in higher frequencies (50~170 Hz) and the various amplitudes (0.01 ~ 0.2 mm). In such an examination, an MRF engine mount along with its magnetically biased is fabricated and successfully measured. In addition, the natural frequencies of the system are obtained by standard hammer modal test. For modelling the behavior of the system, a mass-spring-damper model with tuned PID coefficients based on Pessen integral of absolute More >

Abstract Laser controlled separation of brittle materials like glass is a promising non-conven\discretionary {-}{}{}tional cutting method. It is an application of the crack propagation driven by thermal stresses induced by laser irradiation. In order to induce and control a crack propagating accurately along predetermined asymmetric trajectory in a brittle plate, an iterative method for effective laser scanning path was presented, and the effect of control parameters on the convergence was investigated. The iterative formulation for laser scanning path was based on PID control theory, which was composed of deviation of the crack from predetermined trajectory and… More >
