Robust Control of Non-Deterministic Object Using Multilevel Feedback

Robust control of non-deterministic object (NO) is an urgent task, and there are different approaches to its solution. The paper considers an introduction of fuzzy feedback in the control loop of NO. The value of the feedback coefficient may range from logic zero (the gap feedback) to logic one. Process of increasing the oscillation in the control loop (NO) is controlled by the frequency of oscillation index. The numerical value of the frequency of oscillation index sets parameters of a "forbidden" circle, which includes the "dangerous" point with coordinates —1, j0. Changes in frequency response of NO will be countered by changing the parameters of a "forbidden" circle. In the control loop of the NO we introduce an adaptive nonlinear approximator (regulator). The controller is implemented on the basis of an adaptive neural fuzzificator and unit activation functions block. Activation function (sigmoidal unbalanced function) strengthen "weak" and weakening "strong" signals at the input. Adaptation of neural fuzzificator performed using neuron feedback with sequential learning. Control algorithm feedback coefficient is made on the basis of multilevel relay element (MRE). MRE controlled by duty cycle, proportional to the difference between the signals of the current and minimum values of the frequency of oscillation index. In the control loop of MO desired dynamics is provided by the adaptive fuzzy control, and stability — by fuzzy feedback. The main conclusions are the following: adaptive fuzzy controller to control the MO using neural technology is developed; control algorithm of fuzzy feedback control loop of NO is developed.
Keywords: robust stability, non-deterministic object adaptive fuzzy control, adaptive fuzzy feedback oscillation frequency component, the neuron adaptive, multilevel relay element

Testing a Control Algorithm for Dynamic System at Various Quantization Periods of the Discrete Approximation of the Plant

The paper discuses real-time numeric algorithmic solutions of the optimal control problem for the dynamic system. The author investigates how the effectiveness of the optimal control algorithm changes when the quantization period of the discrete approximation of the plant is set to different ratios. It is clear from the experiments that when the computational capabilities of the handling micro-chip are unlimited the optimal control problem is most effectively solved with the following algorithm parameters: minimal quantization period of the plant and maximal scope (prognosis horizon) of the discrete algorithm. This case is converted and than solved in the micro-chip as the optimization problem of maximal dimensionality. On the other hand the limitation of computing power of the microchip restricts the dimensionality of the optimization problem being solved in real-time mode — in that case the best control quality can be achieved as a result of searching the compromise point of the named algorithm parameters.
Keywords: discrete systems, optimal control, linear programming, quantization frequency, quantization period, Shennon-Kotelnikov theorem, algorithm scope, prognosis horizon, model predictive control (MPC), control process timeframe

Problems of Manipulator Motions Safety

The problems of manipulator motions safety are discussed. The first one is to exclude occasional incorrect motions. The source of such motions is malfunction of robot equipment. The methods of real time robot serviceability checking are proposed. They are based on analysis of continuity and nonlinearity of position sensors changing in all motions. The second source of equipment failure is collisions with technological equipments during robot training procedure. It takes place during adjustment of program points and trajectories. Geometrical modeling of manipulator and workspace allows to avoid such mistakes. The proposed method of limited accuracy of geometry presentation reduces computation complicity of verification. Technical vision is considered as subsystem of human operator safety in manipulator workspace. Ability of operator displacement tracking depends on control unit performance. The algorithm to detect outside object penetrating into the specified zone of workspace in real time is described.
Keywords: manipulator motions safety, real time checking of robot serviceability, geometrical presentation of workspace, technical vision system

The Basis of Load Analysis on Coulisse Mechanism, Applied for Anthropomorphic Robots

Anthropomorphic robots development is a rapidly growing technical direction. Modern constructions include advanced achievements in different sciences. At the same time actuators are based on the use of classical motors and movements gearing systems. One of the variant of hydraulic drill usage is a coulisse mechanism with mobile input link.
Analysis of any type of motors is based on reduction of external loading to driving unit. The main kind of loading for anthropomorphic robots is inertial loading which is described by size and direction. In spite of wide usage of coulisse mechanisms with mobile input in architectural and highroad engineering there is no printed information regarding calculation procedures of vector value of inertial loading. If the speedups are low then their values can be neglected as it is insignificant in comparison with technological loading. However it is inadmissible if speedup values are prevail.
In spite of translation of motion specificity in coulisse mechanism with internal input its structural arrangement corresponds to a classic variant and hence it can be researched with classic methods.
The article includes an approach to kinematic research of given type of mechanism using an approved method of plans, speeds and speedups.
Besides, the authors consider it necessary to continue discussion of issues considering the use commonly used robotic terms.
Keywords: coulisse mechanism with inside input, anthropomorphic robot, inertia forces, reduced force

Mechatronics — Future for Vehicles

The article describes analysis of land vehicles development (tractors, automobiles etc). There are three main branches (aims) of modern vehicles development. Firstly, application of mechatronics modules and systems for designing nowadays vehicles are believed to be an up-to date constructing method. Thus a vehicle for future will be consists of different modules. Secondly, a new theory should be developed. The theory should describe designing/control principles of the modules and their interaction as part of the main system. Thirdly, the main control system of all the mechatronics modules should be developed. Due to the control system autonomous driving can be designed. BMSTU has been studying the issues described. For example a mechatronics-based locomotion module for vehicle is being developed. All wheel steering as one of the main functions of the mechatronics-based locomotion module is considered. The steering drive place in conceptual scheme of automated steering system, developed and tested by researches in BMSTU, is shown. Comparison between all wheel steering with an independent drive and all wheel steering with centralized drive are proposed. Thus we can conclude that the main tendency of modern vehicle designing is application and development mechatronic modules and systems. The next articles will describes further BMSTU research connected with the mechatronics-based locomotion module, its designing and modeling approach.

Research of Gap Mechatronic Stabilization System of Scanning Profilometer of Optical Non-contact Approximation Transducer

The article describes the structure of the mechatronic system stabilization gap and mathematical model of non-contact optical approximation transducer based on optical tunneling effect.
Today so-called scanning atomic force microscopes (AFM) are widely used. The main disadvantage of AFM is very small working gap (about 10 nm to several picometers), that could cause damage to the object of measurement, breakage of the scanning head (needle), but also to inaccuracies in the model. Foreign and domestic scientists and researchers have proposed different approaches to solve this problem. In this paper we considered the option of constructing a model with a scanning profilometer with a larger gap.
Reflectivity of the transducer depending upon various design factors such as initial gap, radius of the sphere, size of the sphere is calculated and described. It is shown, that the dependence increase the radius of the sphere and the refractive index of the material of it, in case of reducing the size of a segment of the sphere and numerical apertures, leads to reduction of integral output power. Estimation of intermolecular interaction forces occurred with inverter operation approximation showed that their influence effect can be neglected. The proposed approximation transducer can be effectively used for other measurement of mechanical values, driven to nanoparanoia, such as accelerations, speeds, forces etc.
Keywords: transducer, profilometer, mechatronic system, optical tunneling, conversion function

Comparative Analysis of the Effectiveness of the Methods to Search the Joint Parts in Automatic Welding

This paper considers mathematical methods for finding welding point for two type of joint: pipe — plate and plate — plate. Four algorithms are offered: the correlation method — the fastest way, allows to allocate edges of details, but it is sensitive to rotations of the parts; the use of neural networks — with the right training, allows you to select the joint parts, comparable in speed to the correlation method; approximation by straight lines — fast method, allowing to find a joint of details in the presence of emissions and other insignificant distortions; approximation by straight lines and circles — the slowest algorithm, but it is insensitive to large and small distortions and emissions. The algorithms have their advantages and disadvantages, it is said that for each task, you must use the optimal method.

The analysis of the gyro-dyndinamicsis carried out on the base of the solution of differential equations, describing the gyrodyn dynamics. It is shown, that if one uses the gyrodyns on the base of the two three-degree-offreedom gyroscopes, the system "spacecraft-gyrodyn" has the guided turn of the spacecraft which eliminates its angle of list andangle of pitch deviation. To carry out the spacecraft course angle control one needs for another biaxial gyrodyn. There is shown that the guided turn of the spacecraft is accompanied with the high-frequency oscillations of the system "spacecraft — gyrodyn'' relatively the coordinates offset.
