This paper presents the design and construction and control of a quadcopter drone for Aerial Data Collection (ADC). The frame of the drone was designed using CadDian Software and the parts were printed using a 3D printer. The flight controller was based on Arduino board using an Atmega328p microprocessor with GSM, GPS and GPRS for sending data over the internet and also enhancing long range flight. A feedback control system was developed and tested to control the stability of drone. The proposed control strategy of the drone was tested for a case of pursuit of trajectory and also for speed of response and the findings were very positive confirming the appropriateness of the control measures for independent and autonomous flying with promising precision. This Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) fitted with IoT has the capability of collecting and sending data over the internet and therefore can be used in many applications including risk assessment, forestry management, urban planning, coastal zone management, infrastructure monitoring, post-disaster damage assessment and delivery of medical supplies.

<p class="1Body">This paper presents mathematical modelling and control of a two-wheeled single-seat vehicle. The design of the vehicle is inspired by the Personal Urban Mobility and Accessibility (PUMA) vehicle developed by General Motors® in collaboration with Segway®. The body of the vehicle is designed to have two main parts. The vehicle is activated using three motors; a linear motor to activate the upper part in a sliding mode and two DC motors activating the vehicle while moving forward/backward and/or manoeuvring. Two stages proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control schemes are designed and implemented on the system models. The state space model of the vehicle is derived from the linearized equations. Controller based on the Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and the pole placement techniques are developed and implemented. Further investigation of the robustness of the developed LQR and the pole placement techniques is emphasized through various experiments using an applied impact load on the vehicle.</p>

In this paper, two efficient control algorithms are discussed viz., Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) and Dynamic Matrix Controller (DMC) and their applicability has been demonstrated through case study with a complex interacting process viz., a laboratory based four tank liquid storage system. The process has Two Input Two Output (TITO) structure and is available for experimental study. A mathematical model of the process has been developed using first principles. Model parameters have been estimated through the experimentation results. The performance of the controllers (LQR and DMC) has been compared to that of industrially more accepted PID controller.

Collapse is one of the major geological disasters all over the world and threats to life and property safety of people. To make a better understanding of the reason it occurs and how to deal with it, the Kim-Yun-Mine collapse is researched. There are one dangerous rock mass and two collapse accumulation body. The basic characteristics of the collapse is described clearly according to the geological exploration data, and the stability of the dangerous rock mass and the collapse accumulated body is analyzed in the way of engineering geology and stereographic projection.

The Stability

The inverted pendulum system (IPS) is considered the milestone of many robotic-based industries. In this paper, a new variant of variable structure adaptive fuzzy (VSAF) is used with new reduced linear quadratic regulator (RLQR) and feedforward gain for enhancing the stability of IPS. The optimal determining of VSAF parameters as well as Q and R matrices of RLQR are obtained by using a modified grey wolf optimizer with adaptive constants property via particle swarm optimization technique (GWO/PSO-AC). A comparison between the hybrid GWO/PSO-AC and classical GWO/PSO based on multi-objective function is provided to justify the superiority of the proposed technique. The IPS equipped with the hybrid GWO/PSO-AC-based controllers has minimum settling time, rise time, undershoot, and overshoot results for the two system outputs (cart position and pendulum angle). The system is subjected to robustness tests to ensure that the system can cope with small as well as significant disturbances.

The dynamic model of overhead crane is highly nonlinear and uncertain. In this paper, Takagi-Sugeno (T-S) fuzzy modeling and PSO-based robust linear quadratic regulator (LQR) are proposed for anti-swing and positioning control of the system. First, on the basis of sector nonlinear theory, the two T-S fuzzy models are established by using the virtual control variables and approximate method. Then, considering the uncertainty of the model, robust LQR controllers with parallel distributed compensation (PDC) structure are designed. The feedback gain matrices are obtained by transforming the stability and robustness of the system into linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) problem. In addition, particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to overcome the blindness of LQR weight matrix selection in the design process. The proposed control methods are simple, feasible, and robust. Finally, the numeral simulations are carried out to prove the effectiveness of the methods.

Abstract An investigation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes associated with sealed conical bores having actuating boundary conditions is presented. Beginning with the one dimensional wave equation for spherically expanding waves, modal characteristics are developed as functions of cone geometry and actuator parameters. This paper presents both analytical and experimental comparisons for the purpose of validating model and development techniques. An investigation of the orthogonality and adjointness of the solution is presented. A discussion of incorporating driving forces in the system model for the purpose of coupling control actuators with internal acoustics is also included. Including these driving forces, a state space model of the system is developed for the purpose of applying modern feedback control. This paper concludes with a study on applying Linear Quadratic Regulator techniques to this system, relating tradeoffs between spatially averaged pressure and control voltages. The results of our simulations indicate that pressure reductions of 30% are attainable with average control voltages of 14.4 volts, given an example geometry.

With the purpose of overcoming the defect that unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are easily disturbed by air current and tend to be unstable, an augmented-stability controller was developed for a certain UAV’s longitudinal motion. According to requirements of short-period damping ratio and control anticipation parameter (CAP) in flight quality specifications of GJB185-86 and C*, linear quadratic regulator (LQR) theory was used in the augmented-stability controller’s design. The simulation results show that the augmented-stability controller not only improves the UAV’s stability and dynamic characteristics but also enhances the UAV’s robustness.
