In the human muscular system, each muscle can regulate its compliance, all of the muscles act in opposition to each other, and certain muscles act on several joints. This mechanism serves for skillful human motions. To realize an improved manipulator, we implemented this mechanism into our manipulator which has a musculo-skeletal mechanism similar to a human forearm. The manipulator is driven by the tendon-driven system where the actions of the tendon-driven system are similar to those of the human muscular system. The manipulator has 2 D.O.F and is driven by three contending wires. In addition, the manipulator control method referring to the human muscular control system is investigated.

In some environments where manual work cannot be carried out, snake manipulators are instead used to improve the level of automatic work and ensure personal safety. However, the structure of the snake manipulator is diverse, which renders it difficult to establish an environmental model of the control system. It is difficult to obtain an ideal control effect by using the traditional manipulator control method. In view of this, this paper proposes a data-driven snake manipulator control algorithm. After collecting data, the algorithm uses the strong learning and decision-making ability of the deep deterministic strategy gradient to learn these system data. A data-driven controller based on the deep deterministic policy gradient was trained in order to solve the manipulator system control problem when the control system environment model is uncertain or even unknown. The data of simulation experiments show that the control algorithm has good stability and accuracy in the case of model uncertainty.

Purpose or research. Improving guidance accuracy of robotic capture mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle and the stability of combined aerial manipulation system is the main objective of this study. In order to achieve this goal, a particular task of developing a manipulator control system that considers joint working space of manipulator and unmanned aerial vehicle has been solved. Methods. Kinematic model of a manipulator with three degrees of freedom is proposed in this work. This is a part of air manipulation system of quadrotor. Rotary movement of two successive links is performed by means of hinge joint. Direct and inverse kinematic tasks were solved for this manipulator. Equations for dynamic model were also obtained. Dynamic response of each link is sufficient for quick stabilization of the system with little re-adjustment. Self-tuning fuzzy proportional-integral-differentiating (PID) regulator was developed based on these data to control the manipulator. Control system for each manipulator link consists of a PID regulator and a fuzzy PID output using Mamdani method. Results. Simulation of developed manipulator control system was carried out in the absence of disturbances. The proposed control system satisfies specified requirements and ensures continuous and smooth movement of manipulator links in calculated trajectory. Conclusion. The developed three-link manipulator motion control method provides a horizontal mass center shift not more than 1.25 mm, which is an acceptable result for rapid stabilization of unmanned aerial manipulator and further practical experiments.

A coagulation process for water purification plants mainly uses feedforward control based on raw water quality and empirical data and requires operator's help. We developed a new floc sensor for measuring floc size in a flush mixer to be used for floc control. A control system using model predictive control was developed on the floc size data. A series of experiments was performed to confirm controllability of settled water quality by controlling flush mixer floc size. An automatic control with feedback from the coagulation process was evaluated as practical and reliable. Finally this new control method was applied for actual plant and evaluated as practical.

For L4 and above autonomous driving levels, the automatic control system has been redundantly designed, and a new steering control method based on brake has been proposed; a new dual-track model has been established through multiple driving tests. The axle part of the model was improved, the accuracy of the transfer function of the model was verified again through acceleration-slide tests; a controller based on interference measurement was designed on the basis of the model, and the relationships between the controller parameters was discussed. Through the linearization of the controller, the robustness of uncertain automobile parameters is discussed; the control scheme is tested and verified through group driving test, and the results prove that the accuracy and precision of the controller meet the requirements, the robustness stability is good. Moreover, the predicted value of the model fits well with the actual observation value, the proposal of this method provides a new idea for avoiding car out of control.

Electromagnetic actuator systems composed of an induction servo motor (ISM) drive system and a rice milling machine system have widely been used in agricultural applications. In order to achieve a finer control performance, a witty control system using a revised recurrent Jacobi polynomial neural network (RRJPNN) control and two remunerated controls with an altered bat search algorithm (ABSA) method is proposed to control electromagnetic actuator systems. The witty control system with finer learning capability can fulfill the RRJPNN control, which involves an attunement law, two remunerated controls, which have two evaluation laws, and a dominator control. Based on the Lyapunov stability principle, the attunement law in the RRJPNN control and two evaluation laws in the two remunerated controls are derived. Moreover, the ABSA method can acquire the adjustable learning rates to quicken convergence of weights. Finally, the proposed control method exhibits a finer control performance that is confirmed by experimental results.

This paper presented a new method based on the Fuzzy self - adaptive PID for BLDCM. This method overcomes some defects of the traditional PID control.
