The device presented in this paper was designed in order to give a hand to the deaf-mute community, by helping them to reintegrate in the society, using the modern technologies. We aim at manufacturing an intelligent glove based on the use of sensors in order to obtain a communication bridge with a decent speech level between the persons suffering hearing loss and the persons with normal hearing. The development and design of the glove represents an endeavor that aims at obtaining pertinent data from fingers’ motion. The prototype functionality can be easily compared with gloves for virtual applications as they work on the same principle, namely sensory activity and test subjects will verify the concept objectives.

This paper presents a novel control algorithm for a modular high-frequency converter. This control algorithm is designed to achieve an effective frequency higher than the switching frequency on the passive elements. As a result, the ripple on the output is suppressed, and smaller capacitors can be used. In this work, the modular high-frequency converter is modeled by equivalent boost converters. Based on the equivalent models a control algorithm is developed. The accuracy of the algorithm has been verified by simulation results using PLECS in the MATLAB/Simulink environment.

Nowadays, aerial robots or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have many applications in civilian and military fields. For example, of these applications is aerial monitoring, picking loads and moving them by different grippers. In this research, a quadrotor with a cable-suspended load with eight degrees of freedom is considered. The purpose is to control the position and attitude of the quadrotor on a desired trajectory in order to move the considered load with constant length of cable. So, the purpose of this research is proposing and designing an antiswing control algorithm for the suspended load. To this end, control and stabilization of the quadrotor are necessary for designing the antiswing controller. Furthermore, this paper is divided into two parts. In the first part, dynamics model is developed using Newton-Euler formulation, and obtained equations are verified in comparison with Lagrange approach. Consequently, a nonlinear control strategy based on dynamic model is used in order to control the position and attitude of the quadrotor. The performance of this proposed controller is evaluated by nonlinear simulations and, finally, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of the control strategy for the quadrotor with suspended load in various maneuvers.

e furnace of steel plant is a complex controlled object and it has the properties of nonlinear, Time-varying and delay. Its modeling and control are very difficult. The temperature control of the furnace mainly depends on the control of gas flow. Therefore, the study of a reasonable gas flow control program is the key to increase the level of heating control. In this paper, an improved fuzzy PID control algorithm is proposed, in which, PID control algorithm and fuzzy control algorithm are integrated together, and its characteristics are improved according to feature of furnace. This made the algorithm to have good adaptability and Interference capability. The simulation results show that the improved control algorithm is better than traditional algorithm in overcoming the non-liner, delay of the object and the performance is excellent.

In this paper modeling and control of cable driven redundant parallel manipulators with flexible cables, are studied in detail. Based on new results, in fully constrained cable robots, cables can be modeled as axial linear springs. Considering this assumption the system dynamics formulation is developed using Lagrange approach. Since in this class of robots, all the cables should remain in tension for the whole workspace, the notion of internal forces are introduced and incorporated in the proposed control algorithm. The control algorithm is developed in cable coordinates in which the internal forces play an important role. Finally, asymptotic stability of the closed loop system is analyzed through Lyapunov theorem, and the performance of the proposed algorithm is studied by simulations.
