National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Asteroid Redirect Mission (ARM) aims to capture a Near Earth Orbit (NEO) asteroid or a piece of a large asteroid and transport it to the Earth–Moon system. In this paper, we provide a detailed analysis of one of the main control challenges for the first ARM mission concept, namely despinning and three-axis stabilizing the asteroid and spacecraft c...

111 Abstract— Nowadays, automatic identification of components is one of the most important research fields for researchers and scientists in different arenas. RFID Technology is one of the technologies widely used in this arena. For this purpose, the present research has dealt with this technology as a means of tracking and identifying baggage automatically in a traffic control system in an ai...

Flight control systems can benefit by being designed to emulate functions of natural intelligence. Intelligent control functions fall in three categories. Declarative actions involve decision making, providing models for system monitoring , goal planning, and systemlscenario identification. Procedural actions concern skilled behavior and have parallels in guidance, navigation, and adaptation. R...

This paper considers adaptive position control of a permanent magnet (PM) stepper motor using exact linearization via static state-feedback. Physical outputs are chosen in such a way that the resulting closed-loop system is linearized and decoupled. The objective of the adaptive controller for a PM stepper motor is to achieve output tracking between the motor outputs and prescribed reference si...

AbstructWe propose earlier an optimization based flow control for the Internet called Random Early Mark@ (REM). In this paper we propose and evaluate an enhancement that attempts to sped up the convergence of REM in the face of large feedback delays. REM can be regarded as an implementation of an optimization algorithm in a distributed network. The basic idea is to treat the optimization algori...

In this paper we propose a systematic methodology that integrates the three main phases of the design of an industrial control system, namely, the identification phase, the tuning of the (PID) controller and the design of a (noncausal) feedforward action. In particular, the tuning of the controller is based on frequency loop shaping where the modelling uncertainty is explicitly considered and t...

An LMI-based method for the integrated system identification and controller design is proposed in the paper. We use the fact that a class of a system identification problem results in an LMI optimization problem. By combining LMIs for the system identification and those to obtain a discrete time controller we propose a framework to integrate two steps for the model-based control system design, ...
