The conventional passive dynamic absorber reduces the amplitude of the main system when the natural frequency of the absorber corresponds to the excitation frequency. The dynamic absorber produces two resonance peak. In this paper, we propose a control method of the semi-active dynamic absorber to reduce the amplitude of the main system to zero over the wide range of excitation frequency. The proposed controller has the system of real time estimation of excitation frequency by applying adaptive filter. When the excitation frequency varies, the frequency is estimated by the controller in real time and control signal is generated according to the estimated frequency. As a result, the natural frequency of the absorber is changed in real time and the amplitude of the main system is kept to zero over the wide range of excitation frequency. The performance of the proposed control method is experimentally discussed.

The tracking motion of the robot is realized based on a specific robot or relying on an expensive movement acquisition system. It has the problems of complex control procedures, lack of real-time performance, and difficulty in achieving secondary development. We propose a robot real-time tracking control method based on the control principle of differential inverse kinematics, which fuses the position and joint angle information of the robot’s actuators to realize the real-time estimation of the user’s movement during the tracking process. The motion coordinates of each joint of the robot are calculated and the coordinate conversion between man and machine is realized with the combination of the Kinect sensor and the robot operating system. We have demonstrated the robustness and accuracy of the tracking method through the real-time tracking experiment of the Baxter robot. Our research has a wide range of application value, such as automatic target recognition, demonstration teaching, and so on. It provides an important reference for the research in the field of cognitive robots.

SUMMARYIn this study, modelling and control of a two-link robot manipulator whose first link is rigid and the second one is flexible is considered for both land and underwater conditions. Governing equations of the systems are derived from Hamilton's Principle and differential eigenvalue problem. A computer program is developed to solve non-linear ordinary differential equations defining the system dynamics by using Runge–Kutta algorithm. The response of the system is evaluated and compared by applying classical control methods; proportional control and proportional + derivative (PD) control and an intelligent technique; integral augmented fuzzy control method. Modelling of drag torques applied to the manipulators moving horizontally under the water is presented. The study confirmed the success of the proposed integral augmented fuzzy control laws as well as classical control methods to drive flexible robots in a wide range of working envelope without overshoot compared to the classical controls.

Abstract Ropeways such as gondola lifts have attracted increasing interest as a means of transportation in cities. However, swing of ropeway carriers is easily caused by wind, and usually a ropeway cannot operate if the wind velocity exceeds about 15m/s. The study of how to reduce the wind-induced swing of ropeway carriers has attracted many researchers. It had been said that it was impossible to reduce the vibration of pendulum type structures such as ropeway carriers by a dynamic absorber. But in 1993, Matsuhisa showed that the swing of carrier can be reduced by a dynamic absorber if it is located far above or below from the center of oscillation. Based on this finding, a dynamic absorber composed of a moving mass on an arc-shaped track was designed for practical use, and it was installed in chairlift-type carriers and gondola type carriers in snow skiing sites in Japan in 1995 for the first time in the world. It has been shown that a dynamic absorber with the weight of one tenth of the carrier can reduce the swing to half. The liquid dynamic absorber was also investigated. It has the same damping effect as the conventional solid absorber. It is easy to adjust the natural frequency and the damping ratio, and the structure is simple. Therefore, it will be applied for not only ropeway carriers but also ships and rope suspended bridge and others.

Abstract In this study, a broadband frequency tunable dynamic absorber was designed and fabricated based on the primary design principle of a mass damper. A magneto-rheological elastomer that can change the relative stiffness when an external magnetic field is applied was used to control the natural frequency of the movable mass of the absorber. A coil to generate the magnetic field was also used as a movable mass to decrease the total weight and to create a constant closed loop of the magnetic force. The hammer impact test results show that the present absorber could change its natural frequency with minimal electric power and had a constant damping ratio. Experimental results of vibration absorbing of an acrylic flat plate show that the proposed absorber could change the natural frequency of the movable mass and reduce the vibration over a wide band by constantly applying the optimum current to the coil in the device with a small power consumption (less than 10 W). Therefore, the proposed absorber works effectively. Further, a technique to determine the electric current applied to the coil automatically based on the phase difference of the vibrational acceleration of the movable mass and the vibrating objective was also presented.

The main objective of the current investigation is to provide a simple procedure to select the controller gains for an aircraft with a largely wide complex flight envelope with different source of nonlinearities. The stability and control gains are optimally devised using genetic algorithm. Thus, the gains are tuned based on the information of a single designed mission. This mission is assigned to cover a wide range of the aircraft’s flight envelope. For more validation, the resultant controller gains were tested for many off-designed missions and different operating conditions such as mass and aerodynamic variations. The results show the capability of the proposed procedure to design a semiglobal robust stability and control augmentation system for a highly maneuverable aircraft such as F-16. Unlike the gain scheduling and other control design methodologies, the proposed technique provides a semi-global single set of gains for both aircraft stability and control augmentation systems. This reduces the implementation efforts. The proposed methodology is superior to the classical control method which rigorously requires the linearization of the nonlinear aircraft model of the investigated highly maneuverable aircraft and eliminating the sources of nonlinearities mentioned above.

Online line-of-sight (LOS) pyrometer is used on certain jet engines for diagnosis and control functions such as hot-blade detection, high-temperature limiting, and condition-based monitoring. Hot particulate bursts generated from jet engine combustor at certain running conditions lead to intermittent high-voltage signal outputs from the LOS pyrometer which is ultimately used by the onboard digital engine controller (DEC). To study the nature of hot particulates and enable LOS pyrometer functioning under burst conditions, a multicolor pyrometry (MCP) system was developed under DARPA funded program and tested on an aircraft jet engine. Soot particles generated as byproduct of combustion under certain conditions was identified as the root cause for the signal burst in a previous study. The apparent emissivity was then used to remove burst signals. In current study, the physics based filter with MCP algorithm using apparent emissivity was further extended to real-time engine control by removing burst signals at real time (1 MHz) and at engine DEC data rate. Simulink models are used to simulate the performances of the filter designs under engine normal and burst conditions. The results are compared with current LOS pyrometer results and show great advantage. The proposed model enables new LOS pyrometer design for improved engine control over wide range of operating conditions.
