The use of a communication network in the closed loop control systems has many advantages such as remotely controlling equipment, low cost, easy to maintenance, efficient information transmission, etc. However, the Networked Control System (NCS) has many drawbacks, such as network-induce end-to-end time delay and packet loss, which lead to significant degradation in controller performance and may result in instability. Aiming at solving performance degradation in NCS, this paper propose to take the advantages and strength of the conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID), Fuzzy Logic (FL), and Gain Scheduling (GS) fundamentals to design a Fuzzy-PID like-Gain Scheduling (F-PID-GS) control technique, which has been proved to be effective in obtaining better performance. The True Time toolbox is used to establish the simulation model of the NCS. Ethernet as a communication network is simulated for different load conditions and random packet loss. The design approach is tested on a second order stepper motor. The results obtained show the effectiveness of the proposed approach in improving the overall system performance.

In this paper, we have designed a control technique for a networked DC motor in the presence of networked delay, packet loss, and jitter. We have used the predicted states for the controller design to achieve the transient and steady-state objectives. A networked compensator is designed to overcome the network constraints. The network link is modelled using the queue server mechanism which can assimilate a lot of features of the network. The proposed technique can also be applied to various other applications. The analysis of the networked control system is done in frequency and time domains. The simulation results are presented to test the performance of the proposed control technique.

In recent years, due to the rapid development of computer technology and the expanding of its controlling scale, people pay more and more attention to the study of network control system. Network control system is closed loop control system connecting the communication network connect sensor, controller, actuator etc. At the same time, the introduction of the communication network control system brings a lot of problems, such as data transmission delay, network packet loss and so on, which make the analysis of the network control system become very complicated. This paper analyzes background of the topic, significance and research status, and review the network control system.

A new control system of a hand gesture-controlled wheelchair (EWC) is proposed. This smart control device is suitable for a large number of patients who cannot manipulate a standard joystick wheelchair. The movement control system uses a camera fixed on the wheelchair. The patient’s hand movements are recognized using a visual recognition algorithm and artificial intelligence software; the derived corresponding signals are thus used to control the EWC in real time. One of the main features of this control technique is that it allows the patient to drive the wheelchair with a variable speed similar to that of a standard joystick. The designed device “hand gesture-controlled wheelchair” is performed at low cost and has been tested on real patients and exhibits good results. Before testing the proposed control device, we have created a three-dimensional environment simulator to test its performances with extreme security. These tests were performed on real patients with diverse hand pathologies in Mohamed Kassab National Institute of Orthopedics, Physical and Functional Rehabilitation Hospital of Tunis, and the validity of this intelligent control system had been proved.

While CNC programmers have powerful tools to develop optimized toolpaths and machining plans, these efforts can be wholly undermined by something as simple as human operator error during fixturing. This project addresses that potential operator error with a computer vision approach to provide coarse, closed-loop control between fixturing and machining processes. Prior to starting the machining cycle, a sensor suite detects the geometry that is currently fixtured using computer vision algorithms and compare this geometry to a CAD reference. If the detected and reference geometries are not similar, the machining cycle will not start, and an alarm will be raised. The outcome of this project is the proof of concept of a low-cost, machine/controller agnostic solution that is applied to CNC milling machines. The Workpiece Verification System (WVS) prototype implemented in this work cost a total of $100 to build, and all of the processing is performed on the self-contained platform. This solution has additional applications beyond milling that the authors are exploring.

Territorial Systems

Territorial systems are characterized by the relative longevity and stability of interactions between neighbouring individuals. Two abilities of signal receivers that can be seen as adaptations increasing the efficiency of territory defence will be discussed: identifying neighbouring individuals and ranging (i.e. determining the distance to) signallers. The costs involved in such discriminations will also be outlined. Although signalling has been traditionally considered as occurring between two individuals (signaller and receiver), long-range signals will be received by many individuals. In territorial systems a group of neighbours could be considered as a communication network: consisting at its simplest of a signaller and a number of receivers. The scope for low cost, low-risk information gathering in such networks by eavesdropping will be discussed with particular reference to territorial songbirds and electric fish.

Stepper Motors

Computer Numerical Control (CNC) is a technology that converts coded instructions and numerical data into sequential actions that describe the motion of machine axes or the behavior of an end effector. Nowadays, CNC technology has been introduced to different stages of production, such as rapid prototyping, machining and finishing processes, testing, packaging, and warehousing. The main objective of this chapter is to introduce a methodology for design and implementation of a simple and low-cost educational CNC prototype. The machine consists of three independent axes driven by stepper motors through an open-loop control system. Output pulses from the parallel port of Personal Computer (PC) are used to drive the stepper motors after processing by an interface card. A flexible, responsive, and real-time Visual C# program is developed to control the motion of the machine axes. The integrated design proposed in this chapter can provide engineers and students in academic institutions with a simple foundation to efficiently build a CNC machine based on the available resources. Moreover, the proposed prototype can be used for educational purposes, demonstrations, and future research.
