Abstract This paper aims to design an impedance position-based proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller based on forward and inverse kinematics of HIWIN RA605 articulated robot, and Field-Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) implementation for a PID torque controller. In order to control the robot, the FPGA needs to output commands to communicate with the AC servo motor drivers. An FPGA-based controller for a 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) articulated robot that implements several tasks such as hardware implementation, encoder counters, noise cancellation algorithm, analog generators, PID controller, and communication are included, the processing time of the FPGA is 16 μs. Meanwhile, the whole process of the system only takes 82 μs to complete.

In this study, a control system was designed to control the robot's movement (The Mitsubishi RM-501 robot manipulator) based on the quantum neural network (QNN). A proposed method was used to solve the inverse kinematics in order to determine the angles values for the arm's joints when it follows through any path. The suggested method is the QNN algorithm. The forward kinematics was derived according to Devavit–Hartenberg representation. The dynamics model for the arm was modeled based on Lagrange method. The dynamic model is considered to be a very important step in the world of robots. In this study, two methods were used to improve the system response. In the first method, the dynamic model was used with the traditional proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller to find its parameters (Kp, Ki, Kd) by using Ziegler Nichols method. In the second method, the PID parameters were selected depending on QNN without the need to a mathematical model of the robot manipulator. The results show a better response to the system when replacing the traditional PID controller with the suggested controller.

This study proposes a 3-axis AC servo motor parallel platform with intersecting rails. The 3-actuators are designed to be horizontally on the base platform with their extensions intersect in the base platform center. The forward kinematics, inverse kinematics and work space of this mechanism are established and the singularity distribution is investigated. Optimal maneuvering regions are recommended from the viewpoints of singularity and stiffness.

In this paper, feedforward compensation and an internal model control (IMC) PID tuning method to maintain the yarn tension within a micro-boundary range are proposed. The proposed method can be used to improve the quality of products in textile industry. We first develop a mathematical model of the AC servo motor and yarn tension system. Based on the results of the mathematical model, an IMC PID controller is designed to control the microtension of the yarn. The proposed IMC-PID controller can be directly calculated from the time constant and time delay. Feedforward control is used to compensate for the linear velocity of the winding roller. To reduce the lateral vibrations of the yarn, we designed an active roller to nip the moving yarn. The active roller compensates for the variation in the diameter of the unwinding roller. The proposed method effectively improves the dynamics performance and the robustness of the system, and is appropriate for industrial application. Experimental instruments, including a tension sensor, an AC servo motor and a motion controller, equipped with a computer, are used to test the proposed method. The simulation and experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed controller for the yarn microtension control system.

To solve the urbanization and the economic challenges, a virtual track train (VTT) transportation system has been proposed in China. To evaluate the dynamic behavior of the VTT, a spatial dynamics model has been developed that considers the suspension system and the steering system. Additionally, the model takes into account road irregularity to make simulations more realistic. Based on the newly proposed dynamic model and a designed proportional–integral–derivative (PID) controller, simulation frames of the vehicle and of the VTT are established with the path-tracking performance. The results show that the vehicle and the VTT can run along a desired lane with allowable errors, verifying the proposed model. The vehicle and VTT with the four-wheel steering system show a better dynamic performance than the models with the front-wheel steering system in the curved section. Moreover, the simulation frame can be further applied to dynamics-related assessments, parameter optimization and active suspension control strategy.

The paper presents a design methodology for the automatic flight control of a launch vehicle. In the proposed approach the controller has a PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) structure but its gains are determined solving an H∞ norm minimization problem of the mapping from the atmospheric disturbances to the control amplitude and to the angle of attack of the launcher. The design methodology is illustrated by numerical examples in which both time responses and stability robustness properties of the optimal PID controller are analyzed.

In this paper, a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controller of DC motor is designed by using particle swarm optimization (PSO) strategy for formative optimal PID controller tuning parameters. The proposed approach has superior feature, including easy implementation, stable convergence characteristics and very good computational performances efficiency. The DC Motor Scheduling PID-PSO controller is modeled in MATLAB environment. Comparing with conventional PID controller using Genetic Algorithm, the planned method is more proficient in improving the speed loop response stability, the steady state error is reduced, the rising time is perfected and the change of the required input do not affect the performances of driving motor with no overtaking.
