In this paper we consider the stability of motion an unbalanced gyroscope with a flexible shaft in gimbal suspension.Gyroscopes are used to control boom tower cranes. First, linear Hamiltonian systems differential equations. The arise transportation problems. We prove several properties matrix. Next, normalization solve system matrix equations find generating function canonical transformation. ...

Ultraviolet disinfection has been proven to be effective for surface sanitation. Traditional ultraviolet systems generate omnidirectional radiation, which introduces safety concerns regarding human exposure. Large scale must performed without humans present, limits the time efficiency of disinfection. We propose and experimentally demonstrate a targeted system using combination robotics, lasers...

A nonlinear optimal controller with a fuzzy gain scheduler has been designed and applied to a Line-Of-Sight (LOS) stabilization system. Use of Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) theory is an optimal and simple manner of solving many control engineering problems. However, this method cannot be utilized directly for multigimbal LOS systems since they are nonlinear in nature. To adapt LQ controllers...

The orientation of a satellite in space described relative to some other object or system is known as the attitude of the satellite. The attitude may be changing with time. To be able to control the attitude of the satellite, it must be equipped with actuators that can produce the required torque. Control Moment Gyroscope is a space craft control actuator which acts as torque amplifier. It is s...

BACKGROUND Inertial measurement of motion with Attitude and Heading Reference Systems (AHRS) is emerging as an alternative to 3D motion capture systems in biomechanics. The objectives of this study are: 1) to describe the absolute and relative accuracy of multiple units of commercially available AHRS under various types of motion; and 2) to evaluate the effect of motion velocity on the accuracy...

The majority of homing guided missiles use gimbaled seekers. The equations describing seeker gimbal system are highly nonlinear. Accurate nonlinear control of the motion of the gimbaled seeker through the attached DC motors is required. In this paper, an online technique for finite-horizon nonlinear tracking problems is presented. The idea of the proposed technique is the change of variables th...
