Abstract The detection of pipeline in service is very important, but the existing manual detection has blind spots, long cycle, high risk, low precision and high cost. Therefore, it is very important to develop a mobile detection robot to replace manual inspection. This paper mainly introduces the control strategy of pipeline robot. In this paper, the overall control structure of the pipeline robot system is built, including the design of hardware framework and the design of software implementation process. Hardware design includes the selection design of microcontroller ARM, sensor, motor driver and so on. The software design is mainly the process design of action realization and the frame design of man-machine interactive operation panel structure. After the system construction is completed, the motion control experiment of the pipeline robot control system is carried out to test the walking performance of the pipeline robot prototype in the vertical variable diameter pipeline, and the motion control experiment is carried out to verify the rationality of the mechanical structure of the pipeline robot and the practicability of the control system.

Cross-coupled controllers have been proposed for improving contouring accuracy of multiaxis machine tools. However, during cross-coupled motion control, increasing contour feedrate may result in larger contour errors. In order to increase feedrate and hence productivity without sacrificing the contouring performance, this paper presents an adapative feedrate control strategy based on a linear perturbed model. The method effectively closes the feedback loop between the contour error and feedrate. An experimental biaxial control system is constructed to implement the proposed strategy. Both computer simulation and experiments have verified that desired contouring accuracy can be achieved.

The California Department of Transportation has sponsored the development of a new family of out of pavement, laser based sensing devices for monitoring road vehicles on the highway. These devices are to be placed over highway traffic lanes, so that they can have an unobstructed view of vehicles moving along the highway. It is expected that there will be need for relatively frequent adjustment of the actual location of these devices over the freeway, so that they can be moved from one lane to another, or so the position over a given lane can be modified. Because of these constraints, a mobile support platform is planned for these devices. This paper presents a motion control strategy for such a mobile platform, and the necessary hardware to implement the control system. The ideas presented in the paper have been tested on a prototype mobile support platform.

In this study, a motion control problem for the vessels towed by tugboats or towing ships on the sea is considered. The towed vessels including barge ships are need to have assistance of tugboats. Combining two vessels, some work purposes in the sea or harbor area can be completed. In this study, the authors give newly developed mathematical model and control system strategy. Especially, the system model fully presenting the physical characteristics of two vessels are derived. For controlling the system effectively, it is considered that the towed vessel has no power propulsion system but the rudder is activated to improve the maneuverability. Considering the strong nonlinearities included in the vessel dynamics, the modelled system is presented by nonlinear system without linearization of nonlinear parameters. Thus, the control system for the towed vessel is designed based on the nonlinear control scheme. Exactly, the back-stepping control method is applied to its motion control. Also, the PID control method is applied for comparing with the proposed control strategy.

Disturbance observers have been used to estimate the disturbance in the plant. Recently, parameterizations of all disturbance observers and all linear functional disturbance observers for plants with any output disturbance were clarified. If parameterizations of all disturbance observers and all linear functional disturbance observers for plants with any output disturbance are used, there is a possibility that we can design control systems to attenuate unknown output disturbances effectively. From this viewpoint, a design method for control system to attenuate unknown output disturbances using parameterizations of all disturbance observers and all linear functional disturbance observers was proposed. However, an application of control system to attenuate unknown output disturbances using parameterizations of all disturbance observers and all linear functional disturbance observers for real plants in motion-control field is not examined. In this paper, we show the effectiveness of the control system to attenuate unknown output disturbances using parameterizations of all disturbance observers and all linear functional disturbance observers for the angular velocity and the angle control for motor control experiment.

Underwater vehicles (UVs) are subjected to various environmental disturbances due to ocean currents, propulsion systems, and un-modeled disturbances. In practice, it is very challenging to design a control system to maintain UVs stayed at the desired static position permanently under these conditions. Therefore, in this study, a nonlinear dynamics and robust positioning control of the over-actuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) under the effects of ocean current and model uncertainties are presented. First, a motion equation of the over-actuated AUV under the effects of ocean current disturbances is established, and a trajectory generation of the over-actuated AUV heading angle is constructed based on the line of sight (LOS) algorithm. Second, a dynamic positioning (DP) control system based on motion control and an allocation control is proposed. For this, motion control of the over-actuated AUV based on the dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) theory is adopted to improve the system robustness under the effects of the ocean current and model uncertainties. In addition, the stability of the system is proved based on Lyapunov criteria. Then, using the generalized forces generated from the motion control module, two different methods for optimal allocation control module: the least square (LS) method and quadratic programming (QP) method are developed to distribute a proper thrust to each thruster of the over-actuated AUV. Simulation studies are conducted to examine the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed DP controller. The results show that the proposed DP controller using the QP algorithm provides higher stability with smaller steady-state error and stronger robustness.
