Adaptive heading control of unmanned wave glider with heading information fusion

The unmanned wave glider (UWG) is a new kind of wave powered unmanned marine vehicle for persistent marine environment monitoring. However, the heading control of UWG is unusual, mainly about the heading control of the surface float body (Float), since it is indirectly actuated and with a large lag of the control response. The adaptive heading control method for the Float with heading information fusion is discussed. The basic and improved arrangement methods of the desired heading of Glider are proposed. Via direct heading control of Glider, the heading control of Float is realized indirectly. Simulation and sea trial results demonstrate that the proposed adaptive heading control method improves the heading control performance of UWG significantly.     

Combined depth and heading control and experiment of ROV under the influence of residual buoyancy,current disturbance,and control dead zone

To improve the underwater control effect of a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) with residual buoyancy, current disturbance, and control dead zone, the depth and heading combined control of ROV is studied to improve the control accuracy of the control system. First, the heading control with fixed depth is divided into heading control and depth control. The tanh-sigmoid-surface control laws for designed degrees of freedom are designed by using tanh function. To suppress the influence of residual buoyancy and control law dead zone in depth control, and to offset the influence of control law dead zone of ROV thruster control, a reserved control quantity is introduced to map the depth deviation and control dead zone with residual buoyancy into a control deviation quantity. An adaptive amplification factor method is proposed for the amplification factors of depth control, speed control, and heading control. The proportional coefficient is adopted to make that the balance among rise time, convergence speed, and overshoot can be achieved by adjusting the proportional coefficient. Then the corresponding tanh-sigmoid-surface controller module is designed in MOOS-IvP environment to track the desired heading and depth. The proposed controller refines fuzzy rules and reduces the complexity of parameter adjustment. Compared with the classical proportional, integral, and derivative control method, the experiment results show that the proposed method can resist the influence of residual buoyancy, current disturbance, and control dead zone and has a better control effect with less control error in depth and heading determination.

Energy-Efficient and High-Speed Dynamic Biped Locomotion Based on Principle of Parametric Excitation

We clarified that the common necessary condition for generating a dynamic gait results from the requirement to restore mechanical energy through studies on passive dynamic walking mechanisms. This paper proposes a novel method of generating a dynamic gait that can be found in the mechanism of a swing inspired by the principle of parametric excitation using telescopic leg actuation. We first introduce a simple underactuated biped model with telescopic legs and semicircular feet and propose a law to control the telescopic leg motion. We found that a high-speed dynamic bipedal gait can easily be generated by only pumping the swing leg mass. We then conducted parametric studies by adjusting the control and physical parameters and determined how well the basic gait performed by introducing some performance indexes. Improvements in energy efficiency by using an elastic-element effect were also numerically investigated. Further, we theoretically proved that semicircular feet have a mechanism that decreases the energy dissipated by heel-strike collisions. We provide insights throughout this paper into how zero-moment-point-free robots can generate a novel biped gait.      

Research on disturbance rejection motion control method of USV for UUV recovery

The recovery of unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) by unmanned surface vehicle (USV) has the characteristics of autonomy, safety, and efficiency. Taking the recovery of UUV by USV as the engineering background, this paper studies the guidance and anti-interference motion control of USV in the recovery process. Aiming at the problem of dynamic guidance when recovering UUV, the USV guidance strategy for UUV recovery is studied. Fuzzy guidance is introduced as the dynamic terminal guidance method, and a layered guidance strategy combining classical guidance and fuzzy guidance is proposed. On the basis of the theory of compact form dynamic linearization-based model-free adaptive control (CFDL-MFAC), the motion control of USV in the process of recovering UUV under the influence of model perturbation, external interference, and other uncertainties is studied. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that there is a contradiction in the matching of dynamic change speed between the USV heading control subsystem and CFDL-MFAC. By introducing the difference item into the standard control criterion to weaken the integral effect in the heading control subsystem of USV, a difference-type compact format model-free adaptive control method (DCFDL-MFAC) is proposed, and the stability of DCFDL-MFAC method is proved theoretically. The effectiveness and practicability of the proposed method are verified by simulation tests and field tests of “Dolphin IB” small USV.     

Kinematics,Dynamics and Power Consumption Analyses for Turning Motion of a Six-Legged Robot

This paper deals with kinematics, dynamics and power consumption analyses of a six-legged robot generating turning motions to follow a circular path. Direct and inverse kinematics analysis has been carried out for each leg in order to develop an overall kinematics model of the six-legged robot. It aims to estimate energy-optimal feet forces and joint torques of the six-legged robot, which are necessary to have for its real-time control. To determine the optimum feet forces, two approaches are developed, such as minimization of norm of feet forces and minimization of norm of joint torques using a least square method, and their performances are compared. The developed kinematics and dynamics models are tested through computer simulations for generating turning motion of a statically stable six-legged robot over flat terrain with four different duty factors. The maximum values of feet forces and joint torques decrease with the increase of duty factor. A power consumption model has been derived for the statically stable wave gaits to minimize the power requirement for both optimal foot force distributions and optimal foot-hold selection. The variations of average power consumption with the height of the trunk body and radial offset have been analyzed in order to find out energy-optimal foothold. A parametric study on energy consumption has been carried out by varying angular velocity of the robot to minimize the total energy consumption during locomotion. It has been found that the energy consumption decreases with the increase of angular velocity for a particular traveled distance.     

Feedforward and Feedback Dynamic Trot Gait Control for Quadruped Walking Vehicle

To realize dynamically stable walking for a quadruped walking robot, the combination of the trajectory planning of the body and leg position (feedforward control) and the adaptive control using sensory information (feedback control) is indispensable. In this paper, we propose a new body trajectory, the 3D sway compensation trajectory, for a stable trot gait; we show that this trajectory has a lower energy consumption than the conventional sway trajectory that we have proposed. Then, for the adaptive attitude control method during the 2-leg supporting phase, we consider four methods, that is, a) rotation of body along the diagonal line between supporting feet, b) translation of body along the perpendicular line between supporting feet, c) vertical swing motion of recovering legs, and d) horizontal swing motion of recovering legs; we then describe how we verify the stabilization efficiency of each method through computer simulation, stabilization experimentation, and experimenting in walking on rough terrain using the quadruped walking robot, TITAN-VIII.

Design of adaptive robust guaranteed cost controller for wind power generator

According to the increasing requirement of the wind energy utilization and the dynamic stability in the variable speed variable pitch wind power generation system, a linear parameter varying (LPV) system model is established and a new adaptive robust guaranteed cost controller (AGCC) is proposed in this paper. First, the uncertain parameters of the system are estimated by using the adaptive method, then the estimated uncertain parameters and robust guaranteed cost control method are used to design a state feedback controller. The controller’s feedback gain is obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequality (LMI) constraints, such that the controller can meet a quadratic performance evaluation criterion. The simulation results show that we can realize the goal of maximum wind energy capture in low wind speed by the optimal torque control and constant power control in high wind speed by variable pitch control with good dynamic characteristics, robustness and the ability of suppressing disturbance.

局部遮光会降低光伏发电系统的效率。在局部遮光条件下,光伏系统的输出功率特性曲线会产生多个峰值,传统的最大功率跟踪方法不具有全局搜索的能力,其在进行多峰值最大功率跟踪时会失效。果蝇算法(Fruit Fly Optimization Algorithm,FOA)具有全局寻优能力,但是在求解过程中存在收敛速度慢、收敛精度低及容易收敛于局部最优值的问题。文中对果蝇算法进行改进,提出结合自适应lévy飞行步长的Lévy-FOA算法,该算法充分利用Lévy飞行不均匀随机游走的特性,引入自适应步长调整因子,改进了原有算法的位置更新方式,提高了算法的收敛速度以及收敛精度,避免了算法陷入局部极值。文中利用3个标准函数对自适应Lévy-FOA算法的收敛性进行分析,并与普通FOA算法、自适应改进学习因子粒子群算法(Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization,APSO)进行对比。结果表明,与FOA算法和APSO算法相比,自适应Lévy-FOA算法的平均跟踪时间有较大幅度的减少,平均收敛精度提高了4个数量级。最后,将自适应Lévy-FOA算法应用于光伏最大功率跟踪中。仿真结果显示,在不同的光照条件下,自适应Lévy-FOA算法能够经过较少的迭代实现最大功率跟踪,并且在第一次迭代后就能达到最大功率的90%以上,与其他算法的跟踪效果对比,自适应Lévy-FOA算法具有较短的跟踪时间和较高的跟踪精度,实际寻优能力优越,能够提高光伏系统的输出效率。

Maneuvering and control of a biomimetic autonomous underwater vehicle

This work presents an approach for maneuvering and controlling a biomimetic autonomous underwater vehicle (BAUV). The BAUV swims forward by oscillating its body and caudal fin. It turns by bending its body and caudal fin toward the intended direction of motion. A body-spline function is specified by a set of parameters. Genetic algorithms are then used to find the values of the parameter by evaluating a fitness function over several swimming trials in a water tank. The fitness function is defined as the ratio of the kinetic energy of the forward motion to the required driving power of the joint motors. A control law that uses the oscillating frequency to control the forward speed, and applies a body-spline offset parameter to control the yawing rate is proposed. Moving averages of swimming speeds and heading angles are utilized as feedback signals to control the forward speed and heading angle of the BAUV. The effectiveness of the control algorithm is experimentally confirmed.
