A cooperative control of a manipulator and a human operator has been proposed for an efficient direct teaching operation in this research. The main goal is making the operator be convenient and relaxed when he is operating the manipulator for a direct teaching. The proposed control strategy has two layers: In the first layer, human motion estimator (HME) has been designed to estimate a human intention. The recursive least square method has been utilized for the HME to simultaneously estimate the interaction force and the human arm admittance model. In the second layer, human motion reactor has been designed to keep the human motion intention precisely by a proportional derivative and gravity compensation in real time. Real experiments with a 3-degree of freedom robotic manipulator guided by the human operator have been conducted to draw a diamond shape on a panel. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed cooperative control strategy.

SUMMARYAutonomous operation of mechanical systems often requires the ability to detect and locate a particular phenomenon occurring in the surrounding environment. Being implemented to articulated manipulation, such a capability may realize a wide range of applications in autonomous maintenance and repair. This paper presents the sensor-driven task space control of an end-effector that combines the field estimation and the target tracking in an unknown spatial field of interest. The radial basis function network is adopted to model spatial distribution of an environmental phenomenon as a scalar field. Their weight parameters are estimated by a recursive least square method using collective measurements from the on-board sensors mounted to the manipulator. Then the asymptotic source tracking has been achieved by the control law based on the gradient of the estimated field. A new singularity tolerant scheme has been suggested to command the task space control law despite singular configurations. Simulation results using the three-link planar robot and the 6-revolute elbow manipulator are presented to validate the main ideas.

This work presents a maximum power point tracking (MPPT) based on the particle swarm optimization (PSO) improved shuffled frog leaping algorithm (PSFLA). The swarm intelligence algorithm (SIA) has vast computing ability. The MPPT control strategies of PV array based on SIA are attracting considerable interests. Firstly, the PSFLA was proposed by adding the inertia weight factor w of PSO in standard SFLA to overcome the defect of falling into the partial optimal solutions and slow convergence speed. The proposed PSFLA algorithm increased calculation speed and excellent global search capability of MPPT. Then, the PSFLA was applied to MPPT to solve the multiple extreme point problems of nonlinear optimization. Secondly, for the problems of MPPT under complex environments, a new MPPT strategy of the PSFLA combined with recursive least square filtering was proposed to overcome the measurement noise effects on MPPT accuracy. Finally, the simulation comparisons between PSFLA and SFLA algorithm were developed. The experiment and comparison between PSLFA and PSO algorithm under complex environment were executed. The simulation and experiment results indicate that the proposed MPPT control strategy based on PSFLA can suppress the measurement noise effects effectively and improve the PV array efficiency.

This paper presents a technique for the position servo system of numerical control (NC) machine tool by utilizing the optimal quadratic controller. The mathematical model of the position servo control system is structured, which of the plant model is identified by making use of recursive least square method. The fundamental method of designing the optimal quadratic controller is proposed. Simulation of the optimal quadratic controller and PID controller are implemented by using MATLAB. The results of simulation show that the proposed control method of positional servo control system has better dynamic characteristics and better steady performance.

In this paper a new time varying multivariate Prony (TVM-Prony) method is put forward to identify modal parameters of time varying (TV) multiple-degree-of-freedom systems from measured vibration responses. The proposed method is based on the classical Prony method that is often used to identify modal parameters of linear time invariant systems. The main advantage of the propose approach is that it can analyze multi-dimensional nonstationary signals simultaneously. A modified recursive least square method based on the traditional one is presented to determine the TV coefficient matrices of the multivariate parametric model established in the proposed method. The efficiency and accuracy of the identification approach is demonstrated by a numerical example, in which a TV mass-string system with three-degree-of-freedom is investigated. Satisfied results are obtained.
