Wall following is one of the methods used in navigating the movement of robot applications. Because the robot moves along the wall, the ultrasonic sensor is used as a barrier detector capable of measuring the distance between the robot and the wall. The six-legged robot is a hexapod robot has six pieces of legs and each leg has three joints that are used to move. The leg movement is based on the inverse kinematics to obtain the angle value of each joint. Nevertheless, a six-legged robot requires stability in order to move smoothly while following the wall. In this work, a robot was developed using a proportional derivative controller to implemented on wall follower navigation. The PID controller is determined using analytic tuning to produce the controller parameters that are used to make the robot move straighten and keep the position against the wall. Overall, the application of inverse kinematics and PID control on the wall following robot navigation can improve the stability of the robot with a set point value of 8-16 cm on the wall length of 1.5 within 92–96 % of average success rate.

AbstractLegged robots have potential advantages in mobility compared with wheeled robots in outdoor environments. The knowledge of various ground properties and adaptive locomotion based on different surface materials plays an important role in improving the stability of legged robots. A terrain classification and adaptive locomotion method for a hexapod robot named Qingzhui is proposed in this paper. First, a force-based terrain classification method is suggested. Ground contact force is calculated by collecting joint torques and inertial measurement unit information. Ground substrates are classified with the feature vector extracted from the collected data using the support vector machine algorithm. Then, an adaptive locomotion on different ground properties is proposed. The dynamic alternating tripod trotting gait is developed to control the robot, and the parameters of active compliance control change with the terrain. Finally, the method is integrated on a hexapod robot and tested by real experiments. Our method is shown effective for the hexapod robot to walk on concrete, wood, grass, and foam. The strategies and experimental results can be a valuable reference for other legged robots applied in outdoor environments.

The hinge moment acting on the actuator will cause an out-of-plane moment, which is a destabilizing factor to the angular motion of spinning missiles. A new tuning criterion for the actuator controller is proposed to decrease the out-of-plane moment. It is noted that the integral element does not decrease the out-of-plane moment. A carefully designed proportional–derivative controller with some compromises can ensure the stability of the missile and provide good performance for the actuator.

This study intends to investigate a dynamic modeling and design of controller for a planar serial chain, performing 2-DoF, in interaction with a cable-driven robot. The under study system can be used as a rehabilitation setup which is helpful for those with arm disability. The latter goal can be achieved by applying the positive tensions of the cable-driven robot which are designed based on feedback linearization approach. To this end, the system dynamics formulation is developed using Lagrange approach and then the so-called Wrench-Closure Workspace (WCW) analysis is performed. Moreover, in the feedback linearization approach, the PD and PID controllers are used as auxiliary controllers input and the stability of the system is guaranteed as a whole. From the simulation results it follows that, in the presence of bounded disturbance based on Roots Mean Square Error (RMSE) criteria, the PID controller has better performance and tracking error of the 2-DoF robot joints are improved 15.29% and 24.32%, respectively.

The FOPID and PID controller are designed to control the speed of <br /> the BLDC motor. The parameters , , , λ and µ of these controller are optimized based on genetic algorithm. The optimized coefficients keep in track with zero error signals. The output of the controller is given to the variable dc source which varies the input voltage to the three phase inverter depending on the input signal. The three phase inverter gives the voltage to the BLDC motor which enhances the stability of the system. <br /> The effectiveness of the controller is demonstrated by simulation.

A novel shuttling polymerase chain reaction (PCR) system is assembled to make temperature uniform in the reaction chamber. The chamber is oscillated by a servo motor and contacted with three different isothermal zones to complete several thermal cycles. The home-made computer code is utilized to investigate the influences of operational parameters on the temperature inside the chamber. Numerical results show that the contact resistances between the heating blocks and the reaction chamber dominate the temperatures inside the PCR chamber. In this work a PCR system that is composed of the PID controller, the moving stage, three aluminum blocks for three different isothermal zones and a reaction chamber is also developed. Experimental results demonstrated that the stability of this shuttling PCR system is confirmed. And results show that DNA templates provided with the yT&A® cloning vector are amplified successfully in this PCR system.

Compared with conventional hydropower units, the pumped storage unit has the characteristics of diverse working conditions and frequent switching. Therefore, the stability and regulation quality of the primary frequency modulation transition process of the regulating system is very important. Due to the “S” characteristics of the pumped storage unit (PSU), the pumped storage unit regulating system has a strong nonlinearity, and the conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller cannot provide high-quality control under low water head conditions. In this paper, the nonlinear PSU model with an elastic water hammer effect is studied, and the fuzzy fractional-order PID (FFOPID) controller is designed to improve the stability of the system. The membership function and the control parameters of the fractional-order PID are optimized based on the multi-objective gravitational search algorithm (MOGSA). The experimental results show that the optimized design of the FFOPID controller has better control quality than the traditional PID controller, the fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller, and the fuzzy PID controller (FPID) when the system is disturbed by the rotating speed under low water head.
