Objectives: Parental responses to children’s negative emotions play a key role in developing emotional competence. Poor emotional competence has been linked to disruptive behavior problems in children. The Tuning in to Kids program is a new emotion-focused parenting intervention for preschoolers. The Tuning in to Kids aims to improve children’s behavior by changing mothers’ em...

In this paper we introduce the different types of the Fractional Order PID controllers and presented some of its application to Industry and robotics Key-Words: Fractional Order Calculus, Differintegration, Fractional Order Controllers, Control Theory, Control Systems, PID controller, tuning, auto-tuning.

Due to the shortcomings of the traditional drilling way, as well as the complexity and difficult mathematical model of the drilling process, etc, this paper briefly analyses the principle of auto-drilling system on AC frequency conversion and the relationship among all factors that affects on the auto-drilling and puts forward a technology that combines parameters' self-tuning fuzzy control wit...

The discrete-time adaptive LQG control of first-order systems is considered from robustness point of view. Both stability and performance robustness are analyzed for different control system structures. A case of amplitude-constrained control is presented, and application of certainty equivalence for self-tuning implementation is also discussed.

Abstract-This paper suggests an inverse optimal PID control design method for mechanical manipulators. We find the Lyapunov function and the control law satisfying the disturbance input-to-state stability by using the characteristics of Lagrange system. Also, we show that the inverse optimal PID controller satisfies the HamiltonJacobi-Isaacs equation. Hence, the inverse optimality of the closed...

This paper suggests an auto-tuning method of PID trajectory tracking controller for robotic manipulators. In general, the PID trajectory tracking controller for mechanical systems shows the performance limitation. Since the control system including performance limitation can not have equilibrium points, we define newly the quasi-equilibrium region as an alternative for equilibrium point. Also, ...

With the ever-increasing wireless/wired data applications recently, considerable efforts have focused on the design of distributed explicit rate flow control schemes for multi-inputmulti-output service. This paper describes two novel wireless/wired multipoint-to-multipoint multicast flow control schemes, which are based on the distributed self-tuning proportional integrative plus derivative (SP...

This paper describes a PI fuzzy adaptive control structure. Based on classical PI fuzzy control structure (with integration on controller output) the authors have developed, implemented and validated an on-line self-tuning mechanism of regulator’s parameter. A study case for validation of proposed tuning mechanism is presented and analyzed with application to control of synchronous generator ex...

This paper deals with the proposal of a new topology for a gm-C continuous time filter which allows the adjustment and tuning of its characteristic parameters (ωO and Q) in an independent way (without cross-tuning), thereby extending the Q range of the filter for a particular ωO value. Additionally a comparison of three different Q-tuning algorithms is presented. It is shown that an LMS-based Q...
