Non-linear characteristics and uncertainty in manipulator dynamics caused by payload effects are major hurdles in controller design. To overcome such hurdles the authors have introduced an automatic balancing concept which has been proved to reduce the non-linear complexity in manipulator dynamics as well as to remove gravity loading. This paper examines the characteristic features of balanced manipulator dynamics in more detail and presents an efficient control algorithm suitable for the dynamics. Since the dynamics of a balanced manipulator are characterized by partially configuration-independent inertial properties, the present algorithm adopts two different control concepts ‘the computed torque control’ for the joint having coupled, configuration-dependent inertia and ‘an optimal constant feedback control’ for the joints having configuration-independent inertia. To evaluate the proposed control algorithm, simulation studies were made over a wide range of manipulator speeds and payloads. Based upon the simulation results, the efficiency of the controller is discussed in detail.

This paper presents a Lagrangian formulation for studying the dynamics and control of the Space Station based Mobile Servicing System (MSS) for a particular case of in-plane libration and maneuvers. The simplified case is purposely considered to focus on the effects of structural and joint flexibilities of the MSS on the complex interactions between the station and manipulator dynamics during slewing and translational maneuvers. The response results suggest that under critical combinations of parameters, the system can become unstable. During maneuvers, the deflection of the MSS can become excessive, leading to payload positioning error and the librational disturbance can also be significant. A linear quadratic regular is designed to simultaneously control the deflection of the manipulator and maintain the station at its operating configuration.

As the four-wheel steering (4WS) system has great potentials, many researchers' attention was attracted to this technique and active research was made. As a result, passenger cars equipped with 4WS systems were put on the market a few years ago. This report tries to identify the essential elements of the 4WS technology in terms of vehicle dynamics and control techniques. Based on the findings of this investigation, the report gives a mechanism of electronically controlling the steering system depending on the variable pressure applied on it. This enhances the controlling and smoothens the operation of steering mechanism.
