An end-effector tracking controller is designed and the manipulator's kinematic redundancy is utilized to integrate a general sub-task controller for self-motion control. The control objectives are achieved by designing a feedback linearizing controller that includes a least-squares estimation algorithm to compensate for the parametric uncertainties.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Adaptive Visual Servo Regulation Control for Camera-In Configuration With a Fixed Camera Extension(ACTA Press, 2009) Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Dawson, Darren M.; Xian, B.In this paper, image-based regulation control of a robot manipulator with an uncalibrated vision system is discussed.

The proposed strategy controls the tip-speed ratio, via the rotor angular speed, to an optimum point at which the efficiency constant (or power coefficient) is maximum for a particular blade pitch angle and wind speed. This control method allows for aerodynamic rotor power maximization without exact wind turbine model knowledge. Representative numerical results demonstrate that the wind turbine can be controlled to achieve near maximum energy capture.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4A New Robust Nonlinear Control Algorithm for the Regulation of Blood Glucose in Diabetic Patients(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2012) Özyetkin, Mine M.; Nath, Nitendra; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Dawson, Darren M.Diabetes mellitus is a growing health problem worldwide. Especially, the patients with Type 1 diabetes need strict glycemic control because they have deficiency of insulin production. Today, the aim of the researchers is to develop a fully automated closed loop control system (i. e., artificial pancreas which is capable of continuous glucose sensing and regulating) that replicates the function of pancreatic beta cells. This equipment is supposed to be capable of maintaining normal blood glucose level on a desired level (4-6.2 mmol/L) and taking all factors affecting glucose concentration into account without inducing hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia. In this paper, control of the Bergman minimal mathematical model to regulate blood glucose level is discussed. The control problem is complicated by the fact that the model is considered to be uncertain. Furthermore, only the glucose level is assumed to be available for control development and other states such as insulin concentration and plasma insulin concentration are assumed to be unavailable for measurement. A novel robust controller is proposed that guarantees practical tracking of a desired glucose concentration. © 2012 IEEE.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 13Predictor-Based Robust Control of Uncertain Nonlinear Systems Subject To Input Delay(Elsevier Ltd., 2012) Obuz, Serhat; Tatlıcıoğlu, Enver; Çekiç, Sadettin Ç.; Dawson, Darren M.In this paper, a tracking controller is developed for a class of nonlinear systems subject to time delay in the control input, uncertainties in the dynamic model, and additive disturbances. The control development is based on a novel predictor-like method to address the time delay in the control input. Lyapunov based stability analysis is used to prove semi-global asymptotic tracking. © 2012 IFAC.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 16Charge Feedback-Based Robust Position Tracking Control for Piezoelectric Actuators(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2012) Salah, M. H.; McIntyre, M. L.; Dawson, Darren M.; Wagner, John R.; Tatlıcıoğlu, Envern this study, the Coleman-hysteresis model is utilised in the piezoelectric actuator (PZTA) dynamic model and a non-linear robust control strategy is then developed to actively control the displacement of the PZTA effective tip. The proposed control technique is designed based on the partial knowledge of the hysteresis model while the mass of the PZTA is assumed to be uncertain. The piezoelectric charge measurement is utilised in the controller design to reduce the effects of the hysteresis. Lyapunov-based stability analysis techniques are utilised to ensure that a desired displacement trajectory is accurately tracked. Representative numerical results are presented and discussed to demonstrate the tracking performance of several desired displacement trajectories with different frequencies and amplitudes. Finally, comparisons with a standard PID controller and a sliding mode controller were performed to examine the effectiveness of the proposed control design. © 2012 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.Article Citation - WoS: 36Citation - Scopus: 38Optimum Seeking-Based Non-Linear Controller To Maximise Energy Capture in a Variable Speed Wind Turbine(Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2012) Iyasere, Erhun; Salah, Mohammed; Dawson, Darren M.; Wagner, John R.; Tatlıcıoğlu, EnverIn this study, an optimum seeking-based robust non-linear controller is proposed to maximise wind energy captured by variable speed wind turbines at low-to-medium wind speeds. The proposed strategy simultaneously controls the blade pitch angle and tip-speed ratio, through the turbine rotor angular speed, to an optimal point at which the power coefficient, and hence the wind turbine efficiency, is maximum. The optimal points are given to the controller by an optimisation algorithm that seeks the unknown optimal blade pitch angle and rotor speed. The control method allows for aerodynamic rotor power maximisation without exact knowledge of the wind turbine model. A representative numerical simulation is presented to show that the wind turbine can be accurately controlled to achieve maximum energy capture. © 2012 The Institution of Engineering and Technology.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 3Euclidean Position Estimation of Static Features Using a Moving Uncalibrated Camera(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2012) Nath, Nitendra; Dawson, Darren M.; Tatlıcıoğlu, EnverIn this paper, a novel Euclidean position estimation technique using a single uncalibrated camera mounted on amoving platform is developed to asymptotically recover the 3-D Euclidean position of static object features. The position of the moving platform is assumed to be measurable, and a second object with known 3-D Euclidean coordinates relative to theworld frame is considered to be available a priori. To account for the unknown camera calibration parameters and to estimate the unknown 3-D Euclidean coordinates, an adaptive least squares estimation strategy is employed based on prediction error formulations and a Lyapunovtype stability analysis. The developed estimator is shown to recover the 3-D Euclidean position of the unknown object features despite the lack of knowledge of the camera calibration parameters. Numerical simulation results along with experimental results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. © 2011 IEEE.Article Citation - WoS: 17Citation - Scopus: 19Sensing of the Time-Varying Angular Rate for Mems Z-Axis Gyroscopes(Elsevier Ltd., 2010) Salah, M. H.; McIntyre, M. L.; Dawson, Darren M.; Wagner, John R.; Tatlıcıoğlu, EnverIn this paper, a nonlinear estimation strategy for sensing the time-varying angular rate of a Z-axis MEMS gyroscope is presented. An off-line adaptive least-squares estimation strategy is first developed to accurately estimate the unknown model parameters. Both axes of a Z-axis MEMS gyroscope are then actively controlled utilizing an on-line controller/observer to facilitate time-varying angular rate sensing. The proposed nonlinear estimation strategy is developed based on a Lyapunov-based analysis, which proves that the time-varying angular rate experienced by the device can be estimated accurately. Two cases for angular rate are investigated which are time-varying and constant magnitudes. An adaptive controller/observer was also utilized for sensing the angular rate to investigate the performance of the proposed controller/observer. Representative numerical results are discussed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed nonlinear strategy in accurately sensing the applied angular rate. Overall, the proposed nonlinear controller/observer improves sensing the constant angular rate by 50% and the time-varying angular rate by 90% when compared with an adaptive controller/observer. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
