In modern information technology, mobile sensor networks (MSNs) play an important role in industrial or military applications, so sensor deployment is a key issue in MSN research. Based on wireless communication theory, hexagonal topology is known to provide the best field coverage, limited nodes, and minimal system cost. In the 2-D dusty plasma physical system, plasma particles are capable of forming...
The effectiveness of wireless sensor networks (WSN) depends on the coverage and connectivity provided by node deployment, which is one of the key topics in WSN. In this paper, a modified virtual force-based node self-deployment algorithm for nodes with mobility is proposed. In the virtual force-based approach, all nodes are seen as points subject to repulsive and attractive force exerted among them,...
Thrust allocation is an important part of the dynamic positioning system, which determining the thrust and the direction of each of the thruster devices from the control law. This paper proposes a rational and effective method of solving thrust allocation to the semi-submersible rig based on the adaptive genetic algorithm. It is realizing the global parallel operations, achieving search in a large...
Air cushion vehicle (ACV) is a type of high performance watercraft. ACV can be propelled forward over the water, the ground and swale. It is widely used in both the civilian and military. Its operation is very different from general ships because of the structural particularity. We designed PID controller and neural net (NN) controller used for ACV heading control. Simulation results show that NN...
Servomechanisms are always assumed and identified as linear systems. Actually, friction is a significant nonlinear factor in such systems. In this paper, friction compensation technique which is usually used as a part of control scheme is introduced in system identification process and it saves the nonlinear control effort in control scheme. Moreover, 3D friction model including position information...
