ABSTRACT: To develop an unmanned automatic excavator system the control performance of hydraulic actuators should be guaranteed. However, hydraulic actuators with single rod cylinder have inherently severe nonlinearities that significantly affect to the command following performance of end-effect. PID control system widely used in industries is not proper to compensate the nonlinearities and it...

In this paper, a quaternion-based finite-time sliding mode attitude controller is designed for a spacecraft performing high-thrust orbital maneuvers, with cold gas thrusters as its actuators. The proposed controller results are compared with those of a quaternion feedback controller developed for the linearized spacecraft dynamics, in terms of settling time, steady-state error, number of thrust...

In this paper, sliding mode control (SMC) for a bidirectional buck/boost DC-DC converter (BDC) with constant frequency in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is discussed. Since the converter is a high-order converter, the reduced-order sliding manifold is exploited. Because of right-half-plan zero (RHPZ) in the converter’s duty ratio to output voltage transfer function, sliding mode current...

In this paper, a novel approach for two-loop control of the DC-DC Ćuk converter in discontinuousconduction mode is presented using a sliding mode controller. The proposed controller can regulatethe output of the converter in a wide range of input voltage and load resistance. Controllerparameters are selected using PSO algorithms. In order to verify the accuracy and efficiency of thedeveloped sl...

This study presents a sliding mode multimodal control for a sensorless photovoltaic panel, which sets itself as per the sun position at every second during the day for a period of five years; then tracker, using sliding mode multimodal controller and a sliding mode observer, will track these positions to make sunrays orthogonal to photovoltaic cell that produces more energy. After sunset, track...

This paper studies theuncertain nonlinear dynamics of a MEMS optical switch addressing electrical, mechanical and optical subsystems. Recently, MEMS optical switch has had significant merits in reliability, control voltage requirements and power consumption. However, an inherent weakness in designing control for such systems is unavailability of switch position information at all times due to t...

This paper presents the development and performance analysis of intelligent control techniques such as Sliding Mode controller and Fuzzy logic Controller for Brushless DC (BLDC)motor drives. Today, strong mathematical tools used in new control methodologies to design adaptive nonlinear robust controller with acceptable performance. One of the best nonlinear robust controller which can be used i...

This paper designs an Optimized Adaptive Combined Hierarchical Sliding Mode Controller (OACHSMC) for a time-varying crane model in presence of uncertainties. Uncertainties have always been one of the most important challenges in designing control systems, which include the unknown parameters or un-modeled dynamics in the systems. Sliding mode controller (SMC) is able to compensate the system in...

in previous papers authors have considered agents as inertia-less self driven particles and designed a flocking algorithm. application of this algorithm to agents with considerable inertial characteristics needs a behavioural controller. the controller uses the local information and helps every agent to imitate the desired behaviour as a member of the flocking frame which covers the main issue ...
