Comprising of mainly servo-controller and servo-amplifiers, this EISC is capable of controlling a wide range of servomotors to perform complieated tasks. Hence, integration of this EISC with a servomotor forms an intelligent modular actuator （IMA） that is essential to modern manufacturing industries. The development of such an EISC involves two major tasks： first, designing the hardware of a compact-sized and highly compatible EISC, and second, developing the software functions to facilitate its functionalities and capahilities. The developed EISC hence forms an integrated-servo-eontrol module, which determines the capability, functionality, flexibility and responsiveness of these IMAs.展开更多

It is an inevitable trend to apply robots to assist researchers during the Antarctic expedition. However, the robot manipula- tors at present have a series of problems and unable to meet the requirements of the Antarctic expe- dition. In this paper, a novel Antarctic modular robot manipulator is proposed, which has a compact structure with modular joints. The robot manipulator has high reliability, and quick assembling-and- disassembling ability. Through well wires arranging and thermal controlling, the manipulator can better adapt to the Antarctic environment. In addition, the work space of the manipulator is serious- ly analyzed, and a new hybrid position/force control method is adopted to make the manipulator per- form better. Simulation results validate the control method and show that the robot manipulator has a good performance to meet the requirements of Antarctic expedition.展开更多

This stop process is divided into stages of energy feedback and energy consumption. The DC voltage controller is coordinated to the used modules per phase when active power is transmitted prior to reactive power, so that the energy is fed back to the AC power grid connected to the converter station which uses the fixed dc voltage controller. In addition, in view of the different forms connected to the grid, specifically when the converter station supplies power for passive network, the passive converter station can take a certain auxiliary trigger strategy to make its maximum energy feedback to the grid. Finally, a simulation system of the MMC-HVDC system is constructed in Matlab/Simulink environment, and simulation results show that the proposed stop strategies are effective.展开更多

Design technologies for traditional industrial manipulator systems cannot be directly used to the space ones due to the special space environment and compactness. Considering the extremely tight constraints on mass, power consumption, volume, cost and ＂design-to-orbit＂ schedules, the fault-tolerant control system is developed mainly based on commercial-off-the-shaft components. The features of the hardware and software of the fault-tolerant control system are presented. The performance specifications are also discussed. Because many space proven design technologies and experiences are adopted, the fault-tolerant control system is characterized by high reliability and practicability.展开更多

This control module uses a TMS320F2812 chip as the core, and intro- duces modularization, network, reconfigurable theory to the design of control module to better meet the flexible and reconfigurable control need of assembly line. The design method of the control module is verified by constructing a control experiment based on controlling of precision x - y displace- ment platform through a CAN bus. Experimental results show that the controlling repeat position accuracy of precision x - y platform by control module is 0. 5 μm and the position error is less than 1μm which meet the needs of micro-adjustment pose of assembly line.展开更多

Since the MHTGR dynamics has high nonlinearity, it is necessary to develop nonlinear power-level controller which is not only beneficial to the safe, stable, efficient and autonomous operation of the MHTGR but also easy to be implemented practically. In this paper, based on the concept of shiftedectropy and the physically-based control design approach, it is proved theoretically that the simple proportional-differential (PD) output-feedback power-level control can provide globally asymptotic closed-loop stability. Numerical simulation results verify the theoretical results and show the influence of the controller parameters to the dynamic response.展开更多
