  • Bilinear control processes with application to immunology

    Creator:
    Hsu, Chin-Shung
    Abstract:
    As a significant class of nonlinear systems, bilinear systems (BLS) are extensively developed in the past years. In addition to their advantages over linear systems which are often not adequate to represent accurately many control processes, the BLS are particularly appealing in modeling biological systems in which parametric controls are...

  • An optimal control approximation for a certain class of nonlinear filtering problems

    Creator:
    Halawani, Talal Umar
    Abstract:
    A new approximation technique to a certain class of nonlinear filtering problems is considered in this dissertation. The method is based on an approximation of nonlinear, partially-observable systems by a stochastic control problem with fully observable state. The filter development proceeds from the assumption that the unobservables are conditionally Gaussian...

  • Robust nonlinear decentralized control of robot manipulators

    Creator:
    Jimenez, Ronald, 1964-
    Abstract:
    A new decentralized nonlinear controller for Robot Manipulators is presented in this thesis. Based on concepts of Lyapunov stability theory and some control ideas proposed in [3]-[7], we obtain continuous nonlinear decentralized control laws which guarantee position and velocity tracking to within an arbitrarily small error. Assumptions based on physical...

  • A fast trajectory tracking adaptive controller for robot manipulators

    Creator:
    Tagami, Shinsuke
    Abstract:
    An adaptive decentralized nonlinear controller for a robot manipulator is presented in this thesis. Based on the adaptive control schemes designed by Seraji [18], Dai [30], and Jimenez [31], we redesigned and further simplified the control algorithm and, as a consequence, we achieved better path tracking performance. The proposed adaptive...

  • Predictive control using feedback- : a case study of an inverted pendulum

    Creator:
    Barrett, Spencer Brown
    Abstract:
    Vision is a flexible, non-contact sensor that can be used for position feedback in closed-loop control of dynamic systems. Current vision systems for industrial automation provide low sample rates and large sample delays relative to other types of position sensors. Poor sample rates and sample delays are a result of...

  • Guidelines for implementing real-time process control using the PC

    Creator:
    Stanford, Clayton R.
    Abstract:
    The application of the personal computer in the area of real-time process control is investigated. Background information is provided regarding factory automation and process control. The current use of the PC in the factory for data acquisition is presented along with an explanation of the advantages and disadvantages associated with...

  • Information processing errors in linear feedback control systems

    Creator:
    Chong, Hoi-yeung
    Abstract:
    This report is concerned with the analysis of the effect of finite wordlength, channel capacity and source rate in digital feedback control of linear systems. The cases considered are (1) finite wordlength A/D conversion, no feedback delay, ideal ROM (read only memory) controller; (2) finite A/D wordlength (source rate), state...

  • Sliding mode controller for robot manipulator

    Creator:
    Kang, Seong K.
    Abstract:
    The sliding mode controller, based on the theory of the Variable Structure System (VSS), is considered for a robot manipulator. By consideration of VSS theory, the nonlinear interactions of manipulator dynamics are suppressed by use of linear sliding equations, and VSS robustness with respect to the unknown physical manipulator parameter...

  • Pipelined multiprocessor computer architecture and fast parallel algorithms for real-time robot control

    Creator:
    Mun, Wangjin
    Abstract:
    As a result of the automation revolution, robots are assuming ever more complex and demanding tasks. Robot system control schemes for fast and precise robot motion require utilization of the entirety of the robot dynamic formulations and the ability to evaluate these formulations in real-time. The dynamic formulations, which take...

  • Implementation of single board computer for real time control of power electronic converter controlled varible speed generation system

    Creator:
    Sivakolundu, Ramesh
    Abstract:
    Conventional generators are operated at fixed speed, and they lack the advantage of Variable Speed Generators (VSG) i.e.a VSG system is capable to maximize the electromechanical energy conversion process by varying the shaft speed. This thesis deals with a VSG system which also preserves all the functional features of a...
