  • Dynamic modeling, control aspects and model predictive control of a parafoil and payload system

    Creator:
    Slegers, Nathan J.
    Abstract:
    Control issues are investigated for a parafoil and payload system with left and right parafoil brakes used as the control mechanism. It is shown through dynamic modeling and simulation that parafoil and payload systems can exhibit two basic modes of lateral control, namely, roll and skid steering. Using a small...

  • 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...

  • Clearing bubble blockages in micro channels using a model predictive controller

    Creator:
    Patton, Chris
    Abstract:
    Micro scale systems are being utilized in a wide variety of chemical, biological and heat exchanger applications, but suffer from the development of vapor bubbles inside the microchannels due to convective boiling, leading to decreases in system performance. In this work, a simulation-based control strategy is employed to eliminate flow...

  • Model Predictive Control for Underwater Robots in Ocean Waves

    Creator:
    Fernández, Daniel C.
    Abstract:
    Underwater robots beneath ocean waves can benefit from feedforward control to reduce position error. This thesis proposes a method using Model Predictive Control (MPC) to predict and counteract future disturbances from an ocean wave field. The MPC state estimator employs a Linear Wave Theory (LWT) solver to approximate the component...

  • Adaptive methods for robust commercial vehicle control

    Creator:
    Junell, Jaime L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis explores the implementation of learning based control with predictive cruise control and the potential this technology has for increasing fuel efficiency while keeping on a well maintained schedule for commercial trucks. Traditional cruise control is wasteful when maintaining a constant velocity over rolling hills. Predictive cruise control is...
