    Nonlinear H∞ Optimal Control Scheme for an Underwater Vehicle with Regional Function Formulation

    No full text
    A conventional region control technique cannot meet the demands for an accurate tracking performance in view of its inability to accommodate highly nonlinear system dynamics, imprecise hydrodynamic coefficients, and external disturbances. In this paper, a robust technique is presented for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) with region tracking function. Within this control scheme, nonlinear H∞ and region based control schemes are used. A Lyapunov-like function is presented for stability analysis of the proposed control law. Numerical simulations are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed tracking control of the AUV. It is shown that the proposed control law is robust against parameter uncertainties, external disturbances, and nonlinearities and it leads to uniform ultimate boundedness of the region tracking error

    Tracking Control Scheme for Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles Subject to Union of Boundaries

    No full text
    AbstractThis paper presents a new region boundary-based tracking control for Multiple Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (MAUVs). The proposed controller enables MAUVs to track a moving target formed by the union of two or more boundaries. In this case, multiplicative potential energy function is used to unite the whole boundaries. Moreover, each underwater vehicle navigates into a specific position on the boundary lines or surfaces while the target itself is moving. A non-negative Lyapunov-like function is presented for stability analysis of the MAUVs. Simulation results on 6 degrees-of-freedom AUVs are presented to illustrate the performance of new tracking control scheme

    In 1980 is gestart met het project "Evaluatie ONW archief". De doelstelling hierbij was de in de archieven van ONW opgeslagen kennis en ervaring opgedaan tijdens 25 jaar praktijkonderzoek en ontwikkeling beter toegankelijk te maken door het vervaardigen van een aantal afgeronde publicaties. In 1981 is een quantitieve analyse gemaakt van het archief materiaal van ONW en is het archief-systeem doorgelicht en opnieuw opgezet. Op basis van de resultaten van de quantitatieve analyse is in 1981 besloten om als eerste aanzet van de onderwerpen zinkstuk met zool en zandworstenmat een kwalitatieve beoordeling te maken van het aanwezige materiaal vervolgens afhankelijk van deze beoordeling te beslissen of er zoja in welke vorm publicaties over deze onderwerpen zullen worden geschreven. De resultaten van de kwalitatieve analyse van het beschikbare materiaal werden in deze notitie gegeven.KWP-collectio

    Efficient Detection of Robot Kidnapping in Range Finder-Based Indoor Localization Using Quasi-Standardized 2D Dynamic Time Warping

    No full text
    This paper proposes an augmented online approach to detect kidnapping events within range-finder-based indoor localization. The method is specifically designed for an Internet of Things (IoT)-Aided Robotics Platform that enables the system to detect kidnapping across all time instances of an indoor mobile robotic operation with high accuracy and maintain a high accuracy in the face of relocalization failures. The approach is based on similarity degree of geometry shape of the environment obtained from range scan data between two consecutive time instances. The proposed approach named Quasi-Standardized Two-Dimensional Dynamic Time Warping (QS-2DDTW) is based on the Multidimensional Dynamic Time Warping (MD-DTW) with homogeneity variance test imbued in it. A series of simulations are preformed against maximum current weight, measurement entropy, and the four metrics in metric based detector. The result shows that the proposed method yields high performance in terms of its ability to distinguish kidnapping condition from normal condition and that it has low dependency towards relocalization process, thus ensures the accuracy of detection is not disturbed by relocalization

    Species composition, distribution, and summer emergence phenology of stoneflies (Insecta: Plecoptera) from Catamaran Brook, New Brunswick

    No full text
    Stonefly (Plecoptera) emergence was investigated between May and September of 1993 and 1994 in Catamaran Brook, New Brunswick, as part of a base-line study to evaluate the effects of timber harvest on Atlantic salmon habitat in Atlantic Canada. Thirty-one stonefly species representing seven families were identified from Catamaran Brook, of which 8 were new provincial records. Eight species, all in the families Chloroperlidae and Leuctridae, were common in both years. The cone-type emergence traps used in this study appeared to adequately sample most stonefly species except the Perlidae. There was a pronounced seasonal progression of species emerging from the brook that was generally constant for both years. However, the abundance and timing of stonefly emergence were related to both temperature and discharge patterns. Generally earlier emergence in 1994 than 1993 was probably related to warmer water in 1994 than 1993, and lower abundance in 1994 was probably related to a reduction in habitat due to unusually low water in that year.PT: J; CR: BAUMANN RW, 1975, SMITHSON CONTRIB ZOO, V211 CHMIELEWSKI CM, 1993, CAN J FISH AQUAT SCI, V50, P1517 CUNJAK RA, 1993, CATAMARAN BROOK NEW DAVIES IJ, 1984, IBP HDB, V17, P161 DONALD DB, 1977, SYESIS, V10, P111 DOSDALL LM, 1979, QUAEST ENTOMOL, V15, P3 FLANNAGAN JF, 1991, AM MIDL NAT, V125, P47 FRIESEN MK, 1984, AM MIDL NAT, V111, P69 FRISON TH, 1935, ILL NAT HIST SURV B, V20, P281 GAUFIN AR, 1964, GEWASSER ABWASSER, V34, P37 GRANT PR, 1969, CAN J ZOOL, V47, P691 HARPER P, 1969, CAN J ZOOL, V47, P483 HARPER PP, 1970, CAN J ZOOL, V48, P681 HARPER PP, 1971, CAN J ZOOL, V49, P915 HARPER PP, 1971, CAN J ZOOL, V49, P941 HARPER PP, 1972, ARCH HYDROBIOL S, V40, P274 HARPER PP, 1973, HYDROBIOLOGIA, V41, P309 HARPER PP, 1973, OIKOS, V24, P94 HARPER PP, 1990, HYDROBIOLOGIA, V199, P43 HARPER PP, 1991, CAN J ZOOL, V69, P787 HITCHCOCK SW, 1974, DEP ENV PROTECTION B, V107 HYNES HBN, 1976, ANNU REV ENTOMOL, V21, P135 KNODRATIEFF BC, 1993, PERLA, V12, P16 NELSON CR, 1989, GREAT BASIN NAT, V49, P289 PETERSON RH, 1990, DISTRIBUTIONS STONEF PLATTS WS, 1983, INT138 US FOR SERV RADFORD DS, 1971, CAN J ZOOL, V49, P657 RICKER WE, 1952, IND U SCI SER, V18 RICKER WE, 1968, NAT CAN, V95, P1085 SCOTT WB, 1973, FISH RES BOARD CAN B, V184 SINGH MP, 1984, AQUAT INSECT, V6, P233 SPRULES WM, 1947, 69 ONT FISH RES LAB STARK BP, 1976, J KANSAS ENTOMOL SOC, V54, P285 STEWART KW, 1988, T SAY FDN, V12; NR: 34; TC: 3; J9: CAN J ZOOL; PG: 8; GA: UW241Source type: Electronic(1
