A novel robust online sustainable adaptation dynamics control method for robot movement by wheel type
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137367
A novel robust control algorithm called reinforcement learning online sustainable adaptive dynamic control (RLOSADC) was developed to solve the problem of approximation for nonlinear systems with absolutely no information about internal dynamics. The proposed control model was built based on a new algorithm called optimise cooperation many nonlinear systems (OCMNO) with powerful features and convergence capabilities. New and unique features of the proposed model are shown through a highly flexible design and control procedure. The traditional robot dynamic model is transformed into a tight feedback nonlinear system model for designing 'integrated' kinetic and dynamic control laws to overcome the disadvantages of the previous method. The RLOSADC model has been applied to cling control robust, sustainable adaptation for optimising the kinematic and dynamic clinging quality indicators for robot movement by wheel type (RMWT). Numerical and experimental simulation results on RMWT show the effectiveness of the proposed RLOSADC control model.

Design and real-time implementation of a distributed-delay input shaper for sway control of a double-pendulum overhead crane
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137371
Control of a double-pendulum overhead crane (DPOC) is challenging as the system is highly nonlinear with multi-mode behaviour. This paper investigates the real-time implementation of a distributed-delay input shaper for sway control of a DPOC with parameter uncertainty. A distributed-delay zero vibration (DZV) shaper is designed based on the system's dynamic behaviour and is applied in an open-loop configuration. To test the proposed method's effectiveness, experiments are carried out on a laboratory crane with different cable lengths and under payload hoisting with varying cable lengths. For the payload sway, the DZV shaper outperformed the conventional zero vibration (ZV) and zero vibration derivative-derivative (ZVDD) shapers with improvements of at least 73% and 32%, respectively. It also shows a higher robustness in the case of payload hoisting.

Autonomous assembly and disassembly by cognition using hybrid assembly cells
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137377
Current political, economic, and ecological developments put severe pressure on European industries. Significant value chains depend uniliterally on single suppliers for many industrial resources including, raw materials, semi-finished goods as well as whole components. At the very same time, the European industry needs to get carbon neutral within an unprecedented short time frame. To address these challenges, flexibility, adaptivity[...], and resilience based on adaptive assembly and disassembly systems acting autonomously are key. Existing systems lack crucial capabilities as they focus on output volumes and economic criteria excluding part variance. Furthermore, these systems are unsuitable for small and medium batches due to the necessary investment. The paper presents a novel concept for hybrid-autonomous assembly and disassembly systems based on robot cells added to manual stations. A batch-individual allocation of sub-tasks to the autonomous robot-based system and the manual assembly on-site will lead to maximum flexibility while utilising the advantages of both.

Robust learning tracking control design for soft actuators
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137366
This paper proposes a recursive sliding-mode control strategy for motion-tracking control of ionic polymer-metal composite soft actuator systems. The suggested controller is distinctive in that it can continuously modify the closed-loop response to maintain system stability. Accordingly, Lyapunov criteria have been used to establish the stability of the provided control technique. Additionally, since controller design does not require any prior knowledge of parameter uncertainties or system hysteresis, it is appropriate for ionic polymer-metal composites since its model changes depending on working conditions. Simulation investigations are conducted to validate the performance of the developed controller. The results demonstrate superior performance compared to the conventional sliding mode control approach.

A study on high ablation threshold laser processing of grooves fabricated on PcBN material
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=137378
Laser processing and ablation for fabricating grooves as a surface texture can be applied to difficult-to-process engineering materials such as advanced carbides, polycrystalline diamond, and polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PcBN) to enhance their tribological performance in tooling applications. This paper presents a summary of various laser processing techniques to obtain surface textures. It also provides basic investigations on fabricating grooves on PcBN material using high ablation threshold laser processing. A particular focus is given to the effect of processing parameters on surface morphology and integrity in the presence of low and high ablation threshold processing. Different laser pulse energy levels are tested to determine the ablation threshold of PcBN material using nanosecond laser processing and their effect on the morphology of the resultant surface texture. The main types of defects are noted on laser ablated and their adjacent surfaces, including partial ablation, heat-affected zones, partial edge melting, spatter and runoff.
