An advanced backhoe user interface has been developed which uses coordinated control with haptic feedback. Results indicate that the coordinated control provides more intuitive operation that is easy to learn, and the haptic feedback also relays meaningful information back to the user in the form of force signals from digging forces and system limitations. However, results show that the current system has significant problems with biodynamic feedthrough, where the motion of the controlled device excites motion of the operator, resulting in undesirable forces applied to the input device and control performance degradation. This unwanted input is difficult to decouple from the intentional operator input in experiments. This research presents an investigation on the effects of biodynamic feedthrough on this particular backhoe control system, using system identification to empirically define models to represent each component. These models are used for a preliminary simulation study on potential methods for biodynamic feedthrough compensation.

In general, eccentric gravity machinery is a rotation mechanism with eccentric pendulum mechanism, which can be used to convert continuously kinetic energy generated by gravity energy to electric energy. However, a stable rotated velocity of the eccentric gravity machinery is difficult to be achieved only using gravity energy. In this article, a stable velocity control system applied to eccentric gravity machinery is proposed. The dynamic characteristic of eccentric gravity machinery is analyzed and its mathematical model is established, which is used to design the controller. A stable running velocity of the eccentric gravity machinery can be operated by the controlled servomotor. Due to disturbances being periodic, repetitive controller is installed to velocity control loop. The stability performance and control performance of the repetitive control system are discussed. The iterative algorithm of the repetitive control is executed by a digital signal processor TI TMS320C32 floating-point processor. Simulated and experimental results are reported to verify the performance of the proposed eccentric gravity machinery control system.

An electromechanical control system of a novel bioreactor for ligament tissue engineering, combined with culture medium perfusion control, cyclic mechanical loading and displacement coordinated control, strains and temperature measure and control, based on programmable logical controller (PLC), was designed and implemented. Well-controlled mechanical stimulations (resolution of <0.01mm for translational and <0.1° for rotational strains, cyclic loading frequency of up to 1 Hz) could be applied to the growing tissue, especially to the tissue engineered anterior cruciate ligaments (ACLs). The novel control system could complete detection and control functions of multi-dimensional mechanical strain in the same axis (resolution of 0.01N for tension and 0.01Nm for torsion strains). An online parameter measuring device of PO2 ,which did not consume oxygen and independent of flow rate, and were incorporated into the culture medium recirculation loop, was designed. The displacement and mechanical stimulate coordinated control strategies were achieved. The aim of this control system is to meet the functions of bioreactor for the ACLs tissue engineering in both research and clinical applications.

Background: All the time, the safety of the vehicle has been valued by all the world's parties, whether it is now or in the future, the automobile safety issue is the hotspot and focus of the research by experts and scholars. The continuous increase of car ownership brings convenience to people's life and also poses a threat to people's life and property security. Vehicle active safety system is the hotspot of current research and development, which plays an important role in automobile safety. Firstly, the vehicle active safety technology and its development situation was introduced, then Ref. review was carried out about Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD/CBC), Brake Assist System (BAS/EBA/BA), Traction Control System (TCS/ASR), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC/ESP/DSC), etc. At present, there are many patents on the control of each subsystem, but few patents on the integrated control for the active safety of vehicles. Objective: The main contents of this paper are as follows: the control strategies and methods of different active safety systems, how to improve the stability of vehicle control and ensure the effectiveness of active safety system control. It provides a reference for the development of active safety control technology and patent. Methods: Through the analysis of different control algorithms and control strategies of Anti-lock and braking force distribution systems, it is pointed out that the switching of EBD/ABS coordinated control strategy according to slip rate can make full use of slip rate and road adhesion coefficient to improve the safety of the system. For the BAS, the slip problem is solved through the combination of Mechanical Assistant Braking System (MABS) and Electronic Braking Assistant (EBA) system by measuring the distance of the vehicle ahead and the speed of the vehicle ahead. The optimal slip rate control is realized by different control algorithms and control strategies of traction control system. It is pointed out that the adaptive fuzzy neural controller should be used to control the yaw angular velocity and centroid side angle of Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which has a good effect on maintaining vehicle stability. A sliding mode variable structure controller combined with constant speed control and approach law control is used to control the yaw moment. Results: Through the coordinated control strategy of EBD/ABS, the slip rate and road adhesion coefficient were fully utilized by switching according to slip rate. The problem of sliding slope is solved by MABS with EBA system. The ESP should use adaptive fuzzy neural controller to control the yaw angular velocity and centroid side angle, and adopt the joint sliding mode variable structure controller which combines the ABS control and the yaw moment control. Through the optimal control theory, the coordinated control of each subsystem can significantly improve the driving stability, riding comfort, fuel economy and so on. Conclusion: This adopt different control strategy and control algorithm for different active safety control system and make full use of tire-road friction coefficient and slip ratio optimal slip ratio, then it realized accurate control of control variables such as yawing angular velocity, centroid side-slip angle, yawing moment and finally ensure the vehicle braking stability, robustness of the controller and the lateral stability of vehicle.

This paper proposes a mobile phone based security and control system for home appliances through SMS/Bluetooth. It focuses on controlling home appliances remotely, and providing security with good graphical user interface. The system uses GSM technology, providing ubiquitous access to the system for security and automated appliance control from anywhere around the globe. The system provides security against intrusion using a smarter digital lock which notifies owners in case of an unauthorized via SMS message, as well as facilitates both short and long-range device control using Bluetooth or SMS technology. Rather than a conventional method of sending an SMS message to control devices, a graphical user interface is designed using Python S60 language for ease of use. The control signals in the form of SMS messages are encrypted and restricted to unique mobile phones or SIM cards for improved security.
