In this paper, a cascade PID feedback control algorithm is proposed to stabilize the attitude of a quadcopter so that the balancing state can be ensured in spite of disturbances. A mathematical model of quadcopter dynamics is developed by applying Newton-Euler method. It reveals the exact relationships among all the variables involved. Both linear and nonlinear state-space equations are derived afterwards,...
We present the development of the gyroscopic-balanced control of an autonomous bikebot. The bikebot is an actively controlled bicycle-based robotic platform with a gyro-balancer developed to study human dynamic postural balance motor skills through unstable physical human-robot interactions. We also present a dynamic model and analysis for stationary bikebot. A nonlinear balancing controller is designed...
This paper analyzes the dynamics of an offshore boom crane and proposes a high-performance nonlinear controller to drive the system states to track some constructed trajectories. Specifically, by employing Lagrange's method in an attached frame, a dynamic model is obtained for the offshore crane system consisting of the boom and a payload, with specific emphasis on the effect of the vessel's motion...
Underwater autonomous gliders (UAG) such as Slocum electric gliders provide an effective platform and tool for marine and coastal scientists to conduct prolonged missions over weeks or months. However, localization of these gliders underneath ocean surface is challenging due to the lack of inexpensive, effective underwater positioning sensors. In this paper, we present a dynamic model-based localization...
