Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming increasingly popular for both civil and military applications. Unmanned aerial vehicles can be categorized into two categories: rotary-wing and fixed-wing. Due to its capacity to fly long distances and carry substantial payloads, fixed-wing UAVs are gaining popularity and are currently utilized for various tasks. However, when confronted with disturbances…

In this paper a synchronization methodology of two fractional-order chaotic oscillators under the framework of identical synchronization and master-slave configuration is introduced. The proposed methodology is based on a fractional-order feedback control design under the frame of control theory, the feedback controllers provide synchronization convergence. A comparative study between a proportional control, a nonlinear fractional-order…

The poultry house is the area where the chickens are maintained for the main purpose to improve the productivity and the environmental conditions for the broilers. The growth of chickens inside the poultry house can be affected by several criterions such as relative humidity and temperature. In this paper, we propose to design and implement…

Current work demonstrates how open-source optimization library ”Extremum” (OSOL Extremum) can be used to build feedback controller of a satellite. Proposed software was developed to as an attempt to eliminate current problems that are present in scientific area: black-box effect (i.e. there is no opportunity to explore source code, modify it, or simply verify), no…

We present an inverted pendulum design using readily available V-slot rail components and 3D printing to construct custom parts. To enable the examination of different pendulum characteristics, we constructed three pendulum poles of different lengths. We implemented a brake mechanism to modify sliding friction resistance and built a paddle that can be attached to the…

This paper details an extension to the SLIP model named spring-loaded inverted pendulum model with swing legs (SLIP-SL). SLIP-SL extends the SLIP model by introducing swing leg dynamics while keeping its passive nature. This way, reference trajectories for the center of mass and swing foot trajectories can be simultaneously obtained which was not possible with…

Dynamic modeling has been a crucial study in many areas of the engineering field. In this paper, we apply the Newton-Euler equation of motion to a two-DOF parallel mechanism solar tracker which is a close loop mechanism. The aim of this study is to show a simulation of the dynamical model with feedback control using…

Pursuit Evasion Game (PEG) is an abstract model of various significant problems that appear in both civil and military applications. Bio- Inspired strategies are found to be very useful in studying the PEG. While optimal response to the pursuit strategies are available using geometric control theory, it is shown in this paper that application of…

Considering link vibrations, the main limitation affecting flexible manipulators, this article seeks to make a contribution by presenting an enhanced two degree of freedom vibration controller. This controller uses a filtered right inverse controller in the feedforward and strain feedback controller in the feedback path. The Filtered inverse controller damps transient vibrations while preserving joint…

In this paper, stabilization of uncertain systems was established using zonotopic sets. The obtained state feedback control laws are computed by an off-line approach reducing computational burdens. The resolution of a robust model predictive control (MPC) allows computing a sequence of state feedback control laws corresponding to a sequence of zonotopic invariant sets. The implemented…

Recent standards, legislation, and best practices point to data center infrastructure management systems to control and monitor data center performance. This work presents an innovative approach to address some of the challenges that currently hinder data center management. It explains how monitoring and management systems should be envisioned and implemented. Key parameters associated with data…

A novel PVTL (Process, Voltage, Temperature, Leakage) detection circuit consisting of four individual detectors is proposed in the investigation. Voltage Variation Detector is composed of a feedback control block comprising multi-stage delay cells using high Vth devices such that 0.5% of VDD variation can be detected. Temperature Detector based on a current to pulse converter…
