    • Variable Resolution Theory for Distributed Systems - Modeling and Total Cost Optimal Control -
      Hirata Kentaro
      Based on the investigation of the modeling issue of delay systems and distributed parameter systems, stability analysis (spectrum computation of Monodromy operators) and controller synthesis (extension of finite spectrum assignment) is done. On a multi-resolution viewpoint, power assist control for almost periodic motions using frequency decomposition is studied. Variable structure strategy includes MPC of the heat process with variable resolution model and LPV control for visual feedback systems. Computational complexity of MPC is approached from the aspects of nonlinear optimization and parallel computation. Also some control applications on distributed parameter systems (e.g., thermal and fluid system) are studied., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2015/04 -2018/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Okayama University
    • Topology Design and Traffic Engineering in Robust Optical and Wireless Integrated Networks
      Takuji Tachibana; Kentaro Hirata
      In this research project, for next-generation optical and wireless networks, we propose a robust topology design and traffic engineering based on network robustness. In the proposed topology design, we derive the number of wavelengths at each link and the position of each wireless node to improve the robustness. Moreover, in the proposed traffic engineering, the route of packet forwarding is utilized aggressively to maintain the network robustness. From our results, we show that the topology design of optical and wireless networks can be performed based on network robustness. Moreover, by using the traffic engineering based on network robustness, the robustness in those networks are improved. It is expected that the next-generation optical and wireless networks can be designed and used based on robustness by using the proposed methods., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2012/04 -2016/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), University of Fukui

      The spread of electric vehicle (EV) is indispensable for the realization of the smart city with a little environmental load, and the development of EV becomes the key by energy saving in the next generation when we overcome problem of current EV. Therefore, by this research, I developed the practical EV control methods in the next generation to realize high kinetics, safety and electric power saving. It is a precision well control method by integrating the regenerative brake equipment, a slip rate control, vehicle posture control and so on by utilizing characteristics of EV enough. The method has robustness property against the various changing road conditions. Specifically, 2DOF (degree of freedom) PID control method by designing the MPC algorithm and the method combination expansion and improved sliding mode control wand MPC. And then, these methods are verified the effectiveness of safety, electric power saving characteristics and motion performance by experiments., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2012/04 -2015/03, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), University of Tsukuba

      This work proposes a design method£or state estimation where many sensors collaborate via networks but some of them indicate outliers from time to time. In this method, we propose a mechanism called switching observer that continues correct state estimation by complimentary use of other sensor signals. We have examined its effectiveness by means of both simulation and experiment. A robust estimation is achieved by setting a common Lyapunov function and switched Lyapunov functions for designing the switching observer. Furthermore, we have also made a progress in heat capacity estimation by making full use of multivariate analysis techniques from a practical point of view., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2008 -2010, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nara Institute of Science and Technology

    • Robot Arm Touch Detection by Signal Separation with Higher Order Statistics and Compliance Control
      SUGIMOTO Kenji; HIRATA Kentaro; KOGISO Kiminao; TACHIBANA Takuji
      The objectives of this research are two-folds: 1) To complete an analysis method for control systems by means of signal separation with higher order statistics. A novel method in statistical learning, named independent component analysis, enables us to analyze signals based on higher order statistics such as Kurtosis. Thereby we can separate independent components from the mixture of signals and recover the source signal. In this research, we modify this method and develop a method for analysis and synthesis of control systems. 2) To derive a mechanism for touch detection of a robot arm to some obstacle. By real-time detection we can stop or relax the arm motion. Furthermore, we aim at developing a compliance control technique. Concerning 1),we have completed the method and applied it to some problems in control. Then, by reversing the idea of separation with inverse operation of observed signals, we have developed multivariable version of what is called Feedback Error Learning (FEL), where a feedforward controller for command inputs is adjusted by some learning law to obtain higher accuracy of the motion. For the former result, we have obtained a best paper award from SICE (our main academic society), and for the latter result, we have obtained a best presentation award from SI division of SICE. On the other hand, we have not yet succeeded in the item2), partly because we have concentrated on the above topics. But we have succeeded in writing one-stroke characters by a robot arm, which is a side-effect from 2). We are continuing efforts on this issue., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2006 -2007, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Nara Institute of Science and Technology
    • Design of Delayed Feedback for Multi-input Multi-output systems and Its Application
      KOKAME Hideki; HIRATA Kentaro
      We have studied the theoretical treatment of the so-called delayed feedback control method, which was invented for the purpose of controlling chaos, with a view to applying it in order to stabilize unstable systems such as the inverted pendulum. Delayed feedback control gives an output which takes the form of difference between the present output and the past output. As such, for stability analysis of feedback systems, it is necessary to cope with resulting differential-difference systems. To stabilize unstable systems by this approach, it seems promising to get a stabilizing derivative feedback and approximate it by a difference counterpart. This prospect is always valid for single input systems. We have pointed out, however, that such is not true for multi-input systems. Thus out task is to provide a useful means to reach a stabilizing difference feedback in the case of multi-input systems. Supposing that a stabilizing dynamic controller which is fed the derivative of output measurements, we have studied the condition under which the closed-loop stability is preserved by an approximate controller which uses difference of output measurements. Applying the obtained result to observer based controller, we have a simple condition for stability preservation, which is written in terms of the observer gain and the state feedback gain. A disadvantage with this approach is that how large delay time in the control input is allowed is not clear. With this point in mind, we have studied a sufficient condition which employs both bounded real lemma and positive real lemma for associated complementary sensitivity transfer matrix. The obtained criterion is useful in that it allows an immediate evaluation of the admissible delay time., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2004 -2005, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Osaka Prefecture University

    • Robust Stabilization Design via Delayed Feedback Control and Its Applications
      KOKAME Hideki; HIRATA Kentaro
      The purpose of the present research is to disclose the ability of the delayed feedback control cited in the area of chaos control, and to establish the design method with a view to applying it to various engineering problems. The delayed feedback has some merit in robustness, but its applicability has been long unclear. We have shown that it can really stabilize if the associated unstable poles are of even number, and if it is allowed to use a compensator, first-order compensator with an unstable pole is sufficient for stabilizing a system with an odd number of unstable poles. In this project, we have shown under a mild condition that approximating a stabilizing derivative controller by a difference can yield a stabilizing delayed feedback controller. However, it has been also shown that such replacement does not work for a special class of multi-input multi-output systems. Further we have obtained criteria which determine if such a difference approximation is successful to preserve the closed-loop stability. It is also clarified that the difference approximation is superior in the closed-loop stability to other alternate means such as realization by a sampled-data system and the derivative feedback with a small delay. As an application, we have adopted a cart-pendulum system moving on a curving surface. A guide of design is to firstly design a stabilizing derivative feedback and secondly replace it by a difference counterpart and adjust the delay involved to obtain a good overall performance where an LMI approach is effective. While simulation is favorable, in the experiment we have faced with some oscillations of cart motion, and still the cause is undetermined., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), 2001 -2002, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (C), Osaka Prefecture University

      YAMAMOTO Yutaka; WAKASA Yuji; FUJIOKA Hisaya
      The present research project intends to advance and apply the modern function theoretic approach, developed by the principal investigator, to sampled-data control systems and apply it to digital signal processing. The emphasis here is upon the built-in intersample behavior in the design model based on the new notion called lifting, thereby differing greatly from the classical treatment. In particular, it gives a comfortable platform for dealing with continuous-time behavior of digital filters in contrast to the conventional discrete-time domain techniques in digital signal processing. It aims at advancing 1. frequency domain analysis/synthesis methods, 2. approximate methods for computing the frequency response 3. framework for filter synthesis with sampled-data control 4. extension to multirate filter banks 5. application to various concrete situations. During the research term, we have successfully obtained the following results : 1. Convergence proof of approximate frequency responses to that of the original sampled-data system 2. Reduction formula for single-rate signal reconstruction problem 3. Its extension to multirate filter banks 4. Application to the design of optimal DA converters 5. Application to the repetitive control scheme 6. implementation as a CAD package. A promising sign of connection with wavelets has also been obtained. The interplay of the present research with this theme is undoubtedly the most interesting and fruitful target for the future., Japan Society for the Promotion of Science, Grants-in-Aid for Scientific Research Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), 1996 -1998, Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research (B), KYOTO UNIVERSITY
