Download or read book Hybrid Systems written by Robert Grossman and published by Springer. This book was released on 1993 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Hybrid systems are networks of interacting digital and analog devices. Control systems for inherently unstable aircraft and computer aided manufacturing are typical applications for hybrid systems, but due to the rapid development of processor and circuit technology modern cars and consumer electronics use software to control physical processes. The identifying characteristic of hybrid systems is that they incorporate both continuous components governed by differential equations and also digital components - digital computers, sensors, and actuators controlled by programs. This volume of invited refereed papers is inspired by a workshop on the Theory of Hybrid Systems, held at the Technical University, Lyngby, Denmark, in October 1992, and by a prior Hybrid Systems Workshop, held at Cornell University, USA, in June 1991, organized by R.L. Grossman and A. Nerode. Some papers are the final versions of papers presented at these workshops and some are invited papers from other researchers who were not able to attend these workshops."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE.

Book excerpt: The International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems 2011 was organized by the International Society of Intelligent Unmanned Systems and locally by the Center for Bio-Micro Robotics Research at Chiba University, Japan. The event was the 7th conference continuing from previous conferences held in Seoul, Korea (2005, 2006), Bali, Indonesia (2007), Nanjing, China (2008), Jeju, Korea (2009), and Bali, Indonesia (2010). ICIUS 2011 focused on both theory and application, primarily covering the topics of robotics, autonomous vehicles, intelligent unmanned technologies, and biomimetics. We invited seven keynote speakers who dealt with related state-of-the-art technologies including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and micro air vehicles (MAVs), flapping wings (FWs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), underwater vehicles (UVs), bio-inspired robotics, advanced control, and intelligent systems, among others. This book is a collection of excellent papers that were updated after presentation at ICIUS2011. All papers that form the chapters of this book were reviewed and revised from the perspective of advanced relevant technologies in the field. The aim of this book is to stimulate interactions among researchers active in the areas pertinent to intelligent unmanned systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Cont.) In the second part of the dissertation, a randomized algorithm is proposed for real-time motion planning in a dynamic environment. By employing the optimal control solution in a free space developed for the maneuver automaton (or for any other general system), we present a motion planning algorithm with probabilistic convergence and performance guarantees, and hard safety guarantees, even in the face of finite computation times. The proposed methodologies are applicable to a very large class of autonomous vehicles: throughout the dissertation, examples, simulation and experimental results are presented and discussed, involving a variety of mechanical systems, ranging from simple academic examples and laboratory setups, to detailed models of small autonomous helicopters.
Download or read book Hybrid Control and Model based Assertions for Autonomous Intersection Management System as a Cyber physical System written by Dongyi Zhou and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A cyber-physical system (CPS) consists of multiple physical components that collab- orate through a network during real-time operation according to system-level commands. A hybrid control, which generates discrete system-level commands and handles the low-level physical dynamics for each component, is of singular importance to a CPS. For a CPS, live- ness and safety require that the system is always eventually doing what is desirable without any undesirable behavior, and have to be carefully addressed. The advance in information technology and autonomous driving make it possible to establish an autonomous intersection management system (AIMS) for ground autonomous vehicles, which can potentially improve traffic efficiency and reduce intersection car accidents. This work presents a hybrid control and introduces model-based assertions for such an AIMS. System-level traffic requirements are expressed in the form of linear temporal logic (LTL) specifications in the generalized reactivity formulas with rank 1 (GR(1)) and a two-player game is solved to synthesize a discrete traffic network controller. DaNI, a motor-driven laboratory robot vehicle, is mod- eled using a bond-graph approach, and a nonlinear vehicle trajectory sliding-mode controller (SMC) is mathematically and numerically described. The discrete traffic controller instructs each robot vehicle to pass through the intersection of interest at a certain time and the vehicle’s trajectory within the intersection is controlled by the SMC. Using simulation, it is shown that the synthesized discrete controller is able to determine proper system actions in response to traffic data and environmental actions while maintaining liveness and safety specifications. A laboratory study on a simple AIMS is demonstrated to depict the basic design structure of a AIMS as a CPS. The results suggest that model-based assertions, which monitor and validate a CPS by assertions based on physical models, can be helpful in de- tecting physics-related abnormalities during operation of a CPS that may not be captured by a software-level analysis. Using simulations, it is shown how the accuracy of a continuous vehicle trajectory controller, such as a SMC, can provide informative guidance on the design of model-based assertions.
Download or read book Control and Estimation of Hidden Mode Hybrid Systems with Applications to Autonomous Systems written by Sze Zheng Yong and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hybrid systems are a modeling framework that allows for the combined consideration of continuous and discrete state dynamics. They are described by a finite collection of continuous systems, with each of these continuous dynamics corresponding to discrete modes of operation. Hidden mode hybrid systems are the special case when the mode is unknown or hidden and mode transitions are autonomous. In addition, by allowing unknown inputs in this framework, both deterministic and stochastic disturbance inputs and noise signals can be considered. There are a large number of applications, such as autonomous systems with contact, urban transportation systems, human-automation systems as well as fault and attack identification in cyber-physical systems. However, the literature on feedback control and estimation approaches for such systems is rather sparse. The main contribution of this thesis is the development of fundamental theory and computationally efficient algorithms for feedback control and estimation of hidden mode hybrid systems. In the first part of the thesis, we consider the feedback control problem of hidden mode hybrid systems with input amplitude and rate constraints. We propose a single hidden mode control law that applies to all modes, as opposed to existing control designs in which a controller is designed for each mode and the switching between controllers are based on mode estimates. This technique was applied to the problems of dynamic landing of a helicopter and robot walking without ground contact sensors and to the control of a car with automatic transmission. In the second part of the thesis, we develop inference algorithms for simultaneously estimating states, unknown inputs and hidden modes of stochastic switched linear systems, along with an analysis of their properties. We first design simultaneous state and input estimators for a more general class of linear systems. Then, we make use of a multiple model framework to additionally estimate the hidden mode. These inference algorithms provide the initial steps towards the realization of smart vehicles that can infer the hidden intention of other drivers without explicit communication, as well as smart power grids with reliable estimates despite faults or malicious attacks on its topology, actuators and sensors.

This book was released on 2022-01-22 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book establishes the models of the electric motor, the hydraulic compound brake system, and the electromagnetic and friction integrated brake system. Considering the two principles on safety and energy saving, it proposes a hybrid brake-by-wire system optimization design method and proposes the optimization method of braking force distribution in different braking modes. The methodology of the book is by using the common Lyapunov function to analyze the stability of the braking mode switching process and designs the braking mode switching controller of the hybrid braking system. The selection of materials provides readers with some guidance in the future design and control of hybrid drive-by-wire systems for autonomous vehicles
