Control system education must include experimental exercises that complement the theory presented in lectures. These exercises include modelling, analysis and design of a control system. Key concepts and techniques in the area of intelligent systems and control have been discovered and developed over the past few decades. While some of these methods have significant benefits to offer, engineers are often reluctant to utilise new intelligent control techniques, for several reasons. In this paper fuzzy logic controllers have been developed using speed and mechanical power deviations, and a neural network has been designed to tune the gains of the fuzzy logic controllers. Student feedback indicates that theoretical developments in lectures on control systems were only appreciated after the laboratory exercises.

This survey presents the broad range of research on using wavelets in the analysis and design of dynamic systems. Though wavelets have been used with all types of systems, the major focus of this survey is mechanical and electromechanical systems in addition to their controls. However, the techniques presented can be applied to any category of dynamic systems such as economic, biological, and social systems. Wavelets can be classified into three different types: orthogonal, biorthogonal, and pseudo, all of which are employed in dynamic systems engineering. Wavelets-based methods for dynamic systems applications can be divided into vibrations analysis and systems and control analysis. Wavelets applications in vibrations extend to oscillatory response solutions and vibrations-based systems identification. Also, their applications in systems and control extend to time–frequency representation and modeling, nonlinear systems linearization and model reduction, and control design and control law computation. There are serious efforts within systems and control theory to establish time–frequency and wavelets-based Frequency Response Functions (FRFs) parallel to the Fourier-based FRFs, which will pave the road for time-varying FRFs. Moreover, the natural similarity of wavelets to the representation of neural networks allows them to slip into neural-networks-based and fuzzy-neural-networks-based controllers. Additionally, wavelets have been considered for applications in feedforward and feedback control loops for computation, analysis, and synthesis of control laws.

This article discusses the work that resulted in the development of two battery-powered self-propelled electric mining machines intended for operation in the conditions of a Polish copper ore mine. Currently, the global mining industry is seeing a growing interest in battery-powered electric machines, which are replacing solutions powered by internal combustion engines. The cooperation of Mine Master, Łukasiewicz Research Network—Institute of Innovative Technologies EMAG and AGH University of Science and Technology allowed carrying out a number of works that resulted in the production of two completely new machines. In order to develop the requirements and assumptions for the designed battery-powered propulsion systems, underground tests of the existing combustion machines were carried out. Based on the results of these tests, power supply systems and control algorithms were developed and verified in a virtual environment. Next, a laboratory test stand for validating power supply systems and control algorithms was developed and constructed. The tests were aimed at checking all possible situations in which the battery gets discharged as a result of the machine’s ride or operation and when it is charged from the mine’s mains or with energy recovered during braking. Simulations of undesirable situations, such as fluctuations in the supply voltage or charging power limitation, were also carried out at the test stand. Positive test results were obtained. Finally, the power supply systems along with control algorithms were implemented and tested in the produced battery-powered machines during operational trials. The power systems and control algorithms are universal enough to be implemented in two different types of machines. Both machines were specially designed to substitute diesel machines in the conditions of a Polish ore mine. They are the lowest underground battery-powered drilling and bolting rigs with onboard chargers. The machines can also be charged by external fast battery chargers.

The stochastic approximation algorithm (SAA), starting from the pioneer work by Robbins and Monro in 1950s, has been successfully applied in systems and control, statistics, machine learning, and so forth. In this paper, we will review the development of SAA in China, to be specific, the stochastic approximation algorithm with expanding truncations (SAAWET) developed by Han-Fu Chen and his colleagues during the past 35 years. We first review the historical development for the centralized algorithm including the probabilistic method (PM) and the ordinary differential equation (ODE) method for SAA and the trajectory-subsequence method for SAAWET. Then, we will give an application example of SAAWET to the recursive principal component analysis. We will also introduce the recent progress on SAAWET in a networked and distributed setting, named the distributed SAAWET (DSAAWET).
