The full-scale humanoid robot RH-1 has been totally developed in the University Carlos III of Madrid. In this paper we present an advanced control system for this robot so that it can perform tasks in cooperation with humans. The collaborative tasks are carried out in a semi-autonomous way and are intended to be put into operation in real working environments where humans and robots should share the same space. Before presenting the control strategy, the kinematic model and a simplified dynamic model of the robot are presented. All the models and algorithms are verified by several simulations and experimental results.

Mobile robots have been widely used for the good adaptability, payload capability. Robot cooperation brings benefits for the task in a multi-robot team. In this paper, the modular hardware design of a leader-follower mobile robot team is discussed, including the distributed control architecture and the electronic system of each robot of the team. The basic idea behind this paper is to introduce the design of the hardware and distributed control architecture, which mainly manages the distributed control system, consisting of microcontroller modules connected through a data bus. The research has a potential applying prospect in mobile robot tracing and locating in the future.

This paper is concerned with the problem of predictive function control (PFC) for a class of hydraulic vibration servo control systems. Our aim is to design a new advanced control strategy such that the control system can track trajectory in a fast and accurate way. For this end, the mathematical model of the hydraulic vibration servo control system is firstly studied. By analyzing the nonlinear, time-varying, and model structure uncertainty features of the objects, the desired control strategy is presented based on PFC. Finally, the simulation results show that our proposed method is effective and can be used to improve the tracking speed, accuracy, and robustness.

The occurrence of the Fieldbus brings a revolutionary in the control field again, and the depth and scope exceed anyone historically, and introduce new era in automation. The Fieldbus control system (FCS) will have great influence in process control in the future. Though FCS is started to adopt in domestic power system, but adopt the FCS thoroughly is still not many. Normally, based on the originally control system, increase parts of control conception of FCS, and the application of combining the advanced control strategy (artificial intelligent, nerve network, expert system and so on) is fewer. This thesis intends to attempt actively and explore profitably in the development and application of the Fieldbus technology in the control of product process in the power plant. On the base of the explanation of the system and exhaust about the Fieldbus technology and the concept and principle of Fieldbus control system, I combine the tendency of the development of the thermal automation technology in power plant, use the prevalence of the Fieldbus adequately, and bring up the designing thought and scheme about the application of Foundation Fieldbus and expert system in the system of the auxiliary control in the power plant, in order to make the production and running of the power plant more convenient, more safe, more economical and more dependable. On the base of which, combining the practical project, the technology is applied in product process control of chemical examination station of the chemical water workshop in one domestic large power plant, and the level of the automation and the management is enhanced greatly. This would make great significance in theory and practical about the promotion and application of the technology of the Fieldbus and advanced control strategy in the power system especially in the power plant.

SUMMARYThis paper presents a novel control architecture for humanoid robot RH-2. The main objective is that a robot can perform different tasks in collaboration with humans in working environments. In order to achieve this goal, two control loops have to be defined. The outer loop, called collaborative control loop, is devoted to the generation of stable motion patterns for a robot, given a specific manipulation task. The inner loop, called posture stability control loop, acts to guarantee the stability of humanoid for different poses determined by motion patterns. A case study is presented in order to show the effectiveness of the proposed control architecture.

This article presents a control strategy that enables both islanded and grid-tied operations of a three-phase inverter in distributed generation. This distributed generation (DG) is based on a dramatically evolved direct current (DC) source. A unified control strategy is introduced to operate the interface in either the isolated or grid-connected modes. The proposed control system is based on the instantaneous tracking of the active power flow in order to achieve current control in the grid-connected mode and retain the stability of the frequency using phase-locked loop (PLL) circuits at the point of common coupling (PCC), in addition to managing the reactive power supplied to the grid. On the other side, the proposed control system is also based on the instantaneous tracking of the voltage to achieve the voltage control in the standalone mode and retain the stability of the frequency by using another circuit including a special equation (wt = 2πft, f = 50 Hz). This utilization provides the ability to obtain voltage stability across the critical load. One benefit of the proposed control strategy is that the design of the controller remains unconverted for other operating conditions. The simulation results are added to evaluate the performance of the proposed control technology using a different method; the first method used basic proportional integration (PI) controllers, and the second method used adaptive proportional integration (PI) controllers, i.e., an Artificial Neural Network (ANN).

The six-phase motor control system has low torque ripple, low harmonic content, and high reliability; therefore, it is suitable for electric vehicles, aerospace, and other applications requiring high power output and reliability. This study presents a superior sensorless control system for a six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM). The mathematical model of a PMSM in a stationary coordinate system is presented. The information of motor speed and position is obtained by using a sliding mode observer (SMO). As torque ripple and harmonic components affect the back electromotive force (BEMF) estimated value through the traditional SMO, the function of the frequency-variable tracker of the stator current (FVTSC) is used instead of the traditional switching function. By improving the SMO method, the BEMF is estimated independently, and its precision is maintained under startup or variable-speed states. In order to improve the estimation accuracy and resistance ability of the observer, the rotor position error was taken as the disturbance term, and the third-order extended state observer (ESO) was constructed to estimate the rotational speed and rotor position through the motor mechanical motion equation. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is verified by simulation and experiment results. The proposed control strategy can effectively improve the dynamic and static performance of PMSM.
