Control solutions in mechatronics systems

Mechatronics - electronic control systems in mechanical engineering

Mechatronics Control Devices

Mechatronic control devices are found everywhere; they are built into kitchen appliances, aircraft, cameras, computers, power stations, even in toilet cisterns. They may be built from micro-circuits, mechanical levers, hydraulic or magnetic devices. Though they come in diverse forms, the aim is the same—to regulate or control the behaviour of the machine or process they are part of. They often ...

Stability and Sensitivity Analysis of Fuzzy Control Systems. Mechatronics Applications

The development of fuzzy control systems is usually performed by heuristic means, incorporating human skills, the drawback being in the lack of general-purpose development methods. A major problem, which follows from this development, is the analysis of the structural properties of the control system, such as stability, controllability and robustness. Here comes the first goal of the paper, to ...

Mechatronics in fuel cell systems

Power generation from fuel cells (FCs) requires the integration of chemical, fluid, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and electronic subsystems. This integration presents many challenges and opportunities in the mechatronics field. This paper highlights important design issues and poses problems that require mechatronics solutions. The paper begins by describing the process of designing a toy sc...

Learning Control Applications to Mechatronics

In this paper we discuss the use of function identiication and adaptive control algorithms in learning controllers for mechatronic systems. The term learning is used because the development of the algorithms is motivated by the emulation of the human ability to improve motor skills through training. The learning algorithms are based on the representation of an unknown function as a linear integ...
