results of evaluation and forecasting reliability indicators technological equipment are presented on the basis a neural network model for calculating fault-free operation taking into account safety generating system. In process creating network, topology was developed, mechanism training testing determined. During study, sample input data created, an algorithm functioning exchange built. The a...

Abstract This paper presents the mechatronic (mechanical and control system) design of a functional prototype portable mechanical ventilator to treat patients with compromised respiratory function. The ensures adequate oxygenation carbon dioxide clearance while avoiding ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI). Oxygen is delivered through compression bag valve (Ambu bag) using moving strap. Carbon...

This paper is an interesting extension of the results presented in detail in the recent conference paper concerning the real time implementation of a sliding mode observer state estimator integrated in a dc Servomotor angular speed control system. In the extended version of this paper we introduced another linear estimator as a possible alternative to the Sliding Mode Observer estimator, more p...

In principle, the control design can be carried out on a nominal model of the plant, provided that a sufficiently large phase margin is selected for tolerating possible parameter uncertainties that could potentially destabilise the control system. However, better performances can be usually achieved when the actual values of the plant parameters are estimated from the experimental data. In this...

The goal of this laboratory activity is to introduce some improvements to the speed PI control system designed in the laboratory activity 2. The improvements consist in the implementation of an anti– windup scheme to reduce the large overshoot occurring in the step response when the controller output saturates, and a friction plus inertia feedforward compensator, which allows to enhance both th...

This paper proposes an approach for the minimum time swing upof a rotary inverted pendulum. Our rotary inverted pendulum is supported bya pivot arm. The pivot arm rotates in a horizontal plane by means of a servomotor. The opposite end of the arm is instrumented with a joint whose axisis along the radial direction of the motor. A pendulum is suspended at thejoint. The task is to design a contro...

Many sensor systems in robotics are bio-inspired by similar mechanisms living creatures. Birds frequently use their beaks to grasp and manipulate objects. This work proposes a very lightweight system that emulates bird’s beak, thus allowing flapping aerial robots interact with the environment, as e.g. perform grasping or manipulation tasks. The is composed of flexible link (beam) actuated micro...
