Liquid Handling Control Considering Spilling Avoidance(Mechanical Systems)

Route Choice Control of Automated Baggage Handling Systems * Route Choice Control of Automated Baggage Handling Systems

State-of-the-art baggage handling systems transport luggage in an automated way using destination coded vehicles (DCVs). These vehicles transport the bags at high speeds on a “mini” railway network. Currently, the networks are simple, with only a few junctions, since otherwise bottlenecks would be created at the junctions. This makes the system inefficient. In the research we conduct, more comp...

Adaptive Control of a 3-DOF Parallel Manipulator Considering Payload Handling and Relevant Parameter Identification

A model-based control system may produce a substantial increase in the overall performance of parallel robots, thus allowing less expensive manufacturing. Although dynamic parameter identification is an experimental technique that significantly improves data feeding dynamic models, some difficulties arise: the effect of the parallel robot's unmodeled dynamics, the variation of some dynamic para...

Adaptive control of a 3-DOF parallel manipulator considering payload handling and relevant parameter models

Model-based control improves robot performance provided that the dynamics parameters are estimated accurately. However, some of the model parameters change with time, e.g. friction parameters and unknown payload. Particularly, off-line identification approaches omit the payload estimation (due to practical reasons). Adaptive control copes with some of these structural uncertainties. Thus, this ...

State-of-the-art baggage handling systems transport the baggage at high speeds, on a network of tracks, using destination coded vehicles (DCV). In order to ensure the optimal routing of DCVs, in this paper we propose a hierarchical control framework. In this framework switch controllers provide position instructions for each switch in the network. The switch controllers are then supervised by a...
