  • Frequency Characteristic Estimation of Transient Response Signals with Non-Zero Steady-State Values
    Matsui Yoshihiro; Ayano Hideki; Masuda Shiro; Nakano Kazushi
    IEEJ Transactions on Electronics, Information and Systems, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 143, 3, 250-257, 01 Mar. 2023, This paper gives a method for converting finite-length transient response signals with non-zero steady-state values into the frequency domain. In the method, the signal is discrete Fourier transformed after adding a linear function without DC component. The linear function is equivalent to the AC components of a step function whose amplitude is the steady-state value of the signal in the frequency domain. The usefulness of the proposed method is confirmed by a numerical experiment and an experiment to estimate the frequency characteristics of the transient response signals obtained from an actual position control system for a mass-spring-damper system.

    Yuta Yoshikawa; Takayuki Okai; Hidetoshi Oya; Yoshikatsu Hoshi; Kazushi Nakano
    2022 11th International Conference on Control, Automation and Information Sciences, ICCAIS 2022, 48-53, 2022, In this paper, we propose a prediction system of the effect of electrical defibrillation for shockable arrhythmias. In order to develop the proposed prediction system, ECGs are firstly analyzed by Gabor wavelet transform, Poincare plot and spectral entropy, and feature parameters are extracted by these analysis results. Moreover, the imbalanced data are corrected by using SMOTE (Synthetic Minority Over-sampling TEchnique), and we adopt Pearson's χ2 test so as to evaluate the efficient feature parameters. Finally, by using selected feature parameters, support vector machines (SVM) based on three kernels (Linear, Gaussian, and Polynomial) are constructed, and the effectiveness of the prediction system is presented.

In order to develop the recognition system, lots of electrocardiogram (ECGs) have been analyzed by using gabor wavelet transform (GWT). Although, there is a huge number of spectrum feature parameters, recognition performance for all combinations for spectrum feature parameters are evaluated, and on the basis of the evaluation results, useful and effective spectrum features for ECGs are extracted. As a result, the proposed recognition system based on the selected effective spectrum feature parameters can achieved good performance comparing with the existing results.

  • A Controller Tuning Method Based on Finite Impulse Response Estimation Using Closed-Loop Response Data
    Yoshihiro Matsui; Hideki Ayano; Senior Member; Shiro Masuda; Kazushi Nakano
    IEEJ Transactions on Electronics, Information and Systems, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, C-139, 8, 858-865, Aug. 2019, Peer-reviwed,

    This paper gives a method for tuning controllers using one-shot closed-loop data. The method estimates the plant impulse response from the data and the response is utilized as the plant model in a Finite Impulse Response filter form. The controller tuning is carried out so that the output fluctuation of the closed-loop system with the plant model due to step disturbance is minimized. Therefore, the proposed method does not require reference models for controller tuning that are necessary in data-driven controller tuning methods such as VRFT (Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning) and FRIT (Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning). Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is shown through experiments of a position control system with a BLDC motor.

  • Development of Quasi-Shift-Invariant Complex Discrete Wavelet Transform
    Makoto Kobayashi; Kazushi Nakano
    Journal of Signal Processing, Research Institute of Signal Processing, Japan, 21, 5, 211-224, Sep. 2017, Peer-reviwed, The downsampling of a discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has a side effect of the lack of shiftinvariance. There are two main solutions for this effect: one is the stationary wavelet transform (SWT), which does not apply downsampling. The other is the complex DWT (CDWT), which uses dual multiresolution analysis(MRA). We choose the CDWT as a target of research. It is well known that wavelet functions become Hilbert transform pairs if the low-pass filters (LPFs) on the reconstruction side have half-sample shifts. In this paper, we propose a quasi-shift-invariant (QSI) CDWT for bi-/orthogonal wavelets as a new CDWT. We report three new works (W1-W3) on it: (W1) we generalized the condition of Hilbert transform pairs and employed a complex wavelet function as a conjugate analytical signal. (W2) We defined a structure that achieves shift-invariance. The structure requires half-sample delays between the inputs of real and imaginary parts. (W3) We proposed an implementation of the QSI-CDWT and confirmed that our method has higher shift-invariance than the conventional CDWT. However, two problems (P1, P2) remain unsolved: (P1) our method requires more resources, such as memory and calculation time, than the conventional CDWT. (P2) Our theory cannot make all packets shift-invariant in a classical wavelet packet transform tree.

  • Realization of FIR prefilter for virtual reference feedback tuning
    Yoshihiro Matsui; Hideki Ayano; Shiro Masuda; Kazushi Nakano
    IEEJ Transactions on Electronics, Information and Systems, Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 137, 7, 884-890, 2017, Peer-reviwed, In this paper, a realizing method of a prefilter to cancel the effect of input/output data of plants on controller tuning with Virtual Reference Feedback Tuning (VRFT) is proposed. VRFT tunes controllers based on model matching. The reference model of the model matching for VRFT is a desired complementary sensitivity function. The corresponding transfer function to the reference model consists of the plant and the controller to be tuned. The controller is tuned so that the squared 2-norm of the error between the impulse responses of these transfer functions is minimized. To obtain the impulse response of the latter transfer function, the impulse response of the plant is necessary. An inverse filter, which is a finite impulse response filter and is contained in the prefilter, is employed to reproduce the plant impulse response from the data. Therefore, the ideal model matching error not affected by the data can be obtained. The usefulness of the method is shown through numerical examples.

The usefulness of this proposal is shown in numerical examples in which fifth-order and PID controllers for a flexible transmission system are tuned by VRFT with prefilters.

  • Leader-following formation navigation with virtual trajectories for dynamic multi-agents
    Manabu Suzuki; Ryo Kobayashi; Kazushi Nakano; Tetsuro Funato; Yoshihiro Matsui
    Transactions of ISCIE, THE INSTITUTE OF SYSTEMS, CONTROL AND INFORMATION ENGINEERS (ISCIE), 29, 8, 382-389, 15 Aug. 2016, Peer-reviwed,

    In recent years, cooperative control of multi-agents, especially formation control, has attracted considerable interest among control engineers. As one of the formation control methods, we deal with the leader-following formation navigation (LFFN). The LFFN is defined such that a human operator or an autonomous leader agent forms a queue of agents to guide multiple followers. The followers pass along the leader's trajectory with the same motion as the leader. When the leader passes along a safe route to avoid obstacles, the followers also pass along a similar safe trajectory. However, when using the LFFN, the followers can shape only a single column formation.
    In this study, we first extend the above LFFN's usage to parallel single columns using adjoining virtual leaders. Next, we consider virtual leaders adjoining the leader to design virtual trajectories along which virtual leaders passed and virtual leader's velocities on their path. We design the followers' target points which track the virtual leaders path with designed virtual velocity. Using our proposed method, the followers shape a formation which is not a single column but a multiple column type. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our newly proposed method through simulation and experimentation.

    Proceedings of the IASTED International Conference on Modelling, Identification and Control, Acta Press, 830, 88-94, 2016, In Electrocardiogram (ECG), it is well known that serious arrhythmia such as Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) are lethal cardiac and will lead to sudden cardiac death. For these serious arrhythmic events, the timely employment of an electrical defibrillator may lead to successful results and thus widespread deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) has been suggested. Although accurate and quick detection of these events is the most important function in AEDs, it is not easy. In this paper, we propose a new ECG detection algorithm based on spectrum features of ECG.

  • Mode-based controller design for Hammerstein models using closed-loop tranjent response data
    Yoshihiro Matsui; Hideki Ayano; Shiro Masuda; Kazushi Nakano
    IEEJ Transactions on Electronics, Information and Systems, Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 136, 5, 625-632, 2016, Peer-reviwed, This paper proposes a controller design method for Hammerstein model which is a dynamical linear system with static input nonlinearity. The method requires only one-shot closed-loop reference response data for controller design. The estimation of the plant model and the validation of the linear part of the plant using the data are performed in time and frequency domains, respectively. Since the method estimates the plant model and the plant is linearized by a nonlinear compensator, the controller for the linearized plant can be designed in consideration of the trade-off between the closed-loop bandwidth and the stability margin by a model-based approach. The effectiveness of the method is numerically evaluated.

  • Necessary and sufficient condition for average consensus of networked multi-agent systems with heterogeneous time delays
    Kazunori Sakurama; Kazushi Nakano
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SYSTEMS SCIENCE, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 46, 5, 818-830, Apr. 2015, Peer-reviwed, This paper deals with an average-consensus problem of networked multi-agent systems with heterogeneous time delays. First, a necessary and sufficient condition is derived for multi-agent systems to achieve average consensus. This condition is represented in the form of an algebraic condition by using the delay-transition and the delay-weighted Laplacians. Second, a performance criterion is introduced to evaluate multi-agent systems that do not achieve average consensus. The criterion is represented in terms of the norms with respect to the above Laplacians. These results imply that the introduced Laplacians play important roles in analysing multi-agent systems with heterogeneous time delays. The validity of the analysis results is demonstrated by simulations with six-agent systems.

    Artificial Life and Robotics, Springer-Verlag Tokyo, 20, 1, 70-77, 2015, Peer-reviwed, This paper proposes a formation controller for multi-agent systems focusing on the obstacle avoidance and input constraints. In our proposed method, the limitation of translation and angular velocities is adaptably tuned depending on the existence of obstacles, such that the velocities can increase when the robots potentially hit obstacles. Moreover, a potential function of the input velocities that easily satisfies velocity constraints is designed. We also design a formation controller that realizes obstacle avoidance while satisfying the velocity constraints. Mathematical analysis shows the stability of the formation of robots controlled by the proposed model. Simulation results also demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • StRRT-based path planning with PSO-tuned parameters for RoboCup soccer
    Katsumichi Sameshima; Kazushi Nakano; Tetsuro Funato; Shu Hosokawa
    Artificial Life and Robotics, Springer-Verlag Tokyo, 19, 4, 388-393, 10 Dec. 2014, Peer-reviwed, Invited, Path planning in various situations is an essential ability for a useful mobile robot in the real world, and technologies facilitating this have been tested in the RoboCup soccer leagues. The main difficulty in path planning lies in the presence of (mobile) obstacles and the kinematic and computational constraints of robots. Rapidly exploring random trees (RRTs) and spatio-temporal RRTs (StRRTs) are popular algorithms for mobile robots in the small size league, one of the RoboCup’s soccer leagues. In these algorithms, paths of finite length are randomly generated in each time interval, and adequate paths among these are selected. Thus, path length and selection probability are important factors. In this paper, we propose a method to determine these parameters using particle swarm optimization. The proposed method is examined using simulations and its real-time tuning ability is verified. The automatically tuned controllers are also capable of real-time path planning through a mobile robot with limited computational ability, such as those used in RoboCup.

  • Dirichlet Process Crescent-signal Mixture Model for Ground-Penetrating Radar Signals
    Makoto Kobayashi; Kazushi Nakano
    IECON 2014 - 40TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE IEEE INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SOCIETY, IEEE, 3431-3437, 2014, Peer-reviwed, There are many pipes buried underground in urban areas. An installation of signal posts requires information about actual underground conditions in order not to crack any pipes. However, some areas do not have the accurate pipe layouts because the constructions make a gap between the layouts and the results. Using a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a solution for preventing damage to the pipes regardless of the accuracy of layouts. Our goal is to propose an automatic pipes-detection method using the GPR signals. The achievement provides the following two things: streamlining a survey of the underground without expert's experience and reducing a burden on the users. In this paper, we propose a new detection method based on the Dirichlet process mixture (DPM) model. This paper aims at examining the estimation accuracy of our method. First of all, the method of our previous work reduces noises of the GPR signals. Secondly, the two-dimensional Gabor wavelet (2D-GWT) is applied for the denoised signals. Next, samples are drawn from the 2D-GWT result which we regard as a probability distribution. Finally, we obtain the partition of samples by using the fixed DPM model to be proposed. We call it the Dirichlet Process Crescent-signal Mixture model. We estimate the positions of buried pipes from the partitions. Some estimated positions are close to the true ones. However, the estimated depths tend to be greater than the true ones because the relative permittivity of underground is apt to increase. We find that the constant relative permittivity is an erroneous assumption. This issue for precise estimation will be addressed in our future research.

  • An Application of Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning to State Feedback Control
    Yoshihiro Matsui; Shunichi Akamatsu; Tomohiko Kimura; Kazushi Nakano; Kazunori Sakurama
    ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATIONS IN JAPAN, WILEY-BLACKWELL, 97, 1, 1-11, Jan. 2014, Peer-reviwed, This paper proposes the use of the fictitious reference iterative tuning (FRIT) method, which has been developed for controller gain tuning in single-input single-output systems, in state feedback gain tuning for a single-input multivariable system. The transient response data for a single-input multivariable plant obtained in closed-loop operation is used for model matching by FRIT in the time domain. The data is also used in the frequency domain to estimate the stability and improve the control performance of the closed-loop system with the state feedback gain tuned by the FRIT method. The FRIT method is applied to a state feedback control system for an inverted pendulum with an inertial rotor, and its usefulness is illustrated through experiments. (c) 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

    2014 11TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING/ELECTRONICS, COMPUTER, TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (ECTI-CON), IEEE, 1346, 2014, Peer-reviwed, Human generates very slow (<1[Hz]) and large (>20[mm]) body sway. This sway is considered to reflect the characteristic of human neural control. We propose a human control model with nonlinearlity and the effect of nonlinearlity is considered by mathematical analysis and simulation. As a result, we found that the proposed model has bifurcation structure with the magnitude of control gain. We consider that body sway is caused by this bifurcation structure. In order to verify the existence of such a nonlinear nature in human, we performed human experiment with two floor environments: fix and rotate floors. As a result, we verified the existence of nonlinearlity in human body sway and showed the potential existence of bifurcation structure.

    2014 ASIA-PACIFIC SIGNAL AND INFORMATION PROCESSING ASSOCIATION ANNUAL SUMMIT AND CONFERENCE (APSIPA), IEEE, (USB), 2014, Peer-reviwed, Serious arrhythmic events in most of patients suffering from sudden cardiac arrest are Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) and Ventricular Tachycardia (VT). For these serious arrhythmic events, the timely employment of an electrical defibrillator may lead to successful results. From this viewpoint, widespread deployment of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) has been suggested and the most important component in AEDs is accurate and quick detection of these events by means of an appropriate algorithm. However quick and accurate detection of ventricular arrhythmia is not easy. In this paper, we analyze ECG data by using Gabor Wavelet Transform (GWT) and on the basis of the analysis results, we propose a new detection algorithm. Finally, we evaluate the proposed detection algorithm.

In a previous paper we proposed a method for denoising GPR signals by using the 2D Gabor wavelet transform. In this paper we present a new method for emphasizing GPR reflected waves from buried objects.

In order to tune PID controller, the method requires only one-shot transient response data of the closed-loop system stabilized by an arbitrary PID controller and the data is used in frequency domain for classical loop-shaping.

    IFAC Conference on Advances in PID Control, 2, PART 1, (CD-ROM), Mar. 2013, Peer-reviwed, In this paper, an application method of Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (FRIT), which has been developed for controller gain tuning for single-input single-output systems, to state feedback gain tuning for single-input multivariable systems is proposed. Transient response data of a single-input multivariable plant obtained under closed-loop operation is used for model matching by the FRIT in time domain.

  • ロボット群移動のための隊列維持を考慮したリーダ追従型隊列誘導
    鈴木 学; 桜間一徳; 中野和司
    計測自動制御学会論文集, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 49, 2, 302-309, Feb. 2013, Peer-reviwed, This paper deals with a leader-following formation navigation (LFFN), which is one of the most important issues in formation control. In this formation, one leader is controlled by a human operator, while multiple followers pass along the leader's trajectory in the same motion to the leader. The followers move along the leader's path behind the leader after some intervals. In this navigation method, the distances between the robots are not considered, thus some of the followers are possibly too late to maintain the formation. This paper proposes a new LFFN method with the maintenance of the formation-distances. The proposed method minimizes the sum of the evaluation functions concerning the velocity and distance errors. The effectiveness of the presented method is demonstrated by an experiment with three mobile robots.

  • Two Problems of Wavelet Packet Transform
    Makoto Kobayashi; Kazushi Nakano
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 2013 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY: NEW GENERATIONS, IEEE COMPUTER SOC, 153-159, 2013, Peer-reviwed, Wavelet packet transform (WPT) is a useful tool for time-frequency analysis. The WPT based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) has a well-known problem. It is called shift-variance behavior. It varies the energy of DWT result and fails to detect a changing-point even when an original signal shifts only by one sample. Although the solution of multi-resolution analysis (MRA) by using the complex DWT has been released, many reports about the WPT do not accomplish shift-invariance. In this paper, we describe the reason not to complete the shift-invariance for the WPT. In the complex MRA, it constructs a theoretical structure of a parallel DWT with one sample delayed. However the WPT partly achieves it. In addition, the WPT evenly divides a frequency band into 2(n) parts where n is the decomposition level. Each band is placed in the wrong frequency order. Whenever high-pass filtered signals are downsampled, the origin of the frequency axis is translated to. We show how to make the correct order. The two problems of the shift-invariance and the wrong frequency order are solved.

    International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics, ALIFE ROBOTICS CO, LTD, (CD-ROM), Jan. 2013, Peer-reviwed, This paper proposes a PI controller tuning method for multivariable plants. The method requires only one set of the input-output transient data of the plant under closed-loop operation to tune the controller. The data is used to obtain an appropriate controller parameter by solving a model matching problem of FRIT (Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning) in time domain, and the data is also used in frequency domain to confirm if the parameter tuned by FRIT is stable and if the model matching is achieved. The method is applied to a non-interacting control of a gas turbine engine and its effectiveness is shown through simulations.

  • Multi-Robot Coordination Using Switching of Methods for Deriving Equilibrium in Game Theory
    Wataru Inujima; Kazushi Nakano; Shu Hosokawa
    2013 10TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING/ELECTRONICS, COMPUTER, TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (ECTI-CON), IEEE, 1825, 2013, Peer-reviwed, The study of a Multi-Agent System using multiple autonomous robots has recently attracted much attention. With the problem of target tracking as a typical case study, multiple autonomous robots decide their own actions to achieve the whole task which is tracking target. Each autonomous robot's action influences each other, so, an action decision in coordination with other robots and the environment is needed to achieve the whole task effectively.
    The game theory is a major method realizing a coordinated action decision. The game theory mathematically deals with a multi-agent environment influencing each other as a game situation. The conventional methods model one of the target tracking as a n-person general-sum game, and use the noncooperative Nash equilibrium theory of non-cooperative games and the semi-cooperative Stackelberg equilibrium. The semi-cooperative Stackelberg equilibrium may obtain better control performance than the non-cooperative Nash equilibrium, but requires the communication among robots.
    In this study, we propose switching of methods in the equilibrium derivation both the non-cooperative Nash equilibrium and the semi-cooperative Stackelberg equilibrium in a coordination algorithm for the target tracking. In the simulation, our proposed method achieves coordination in less connection than the method using the semi-cooperative Stackelberg equilibrium at all times. Furthermore, the proposed method shows better control performance than the non-cooperative Nash equilibrium.

  • On inhibition of premature convergence in Genetic Algorithms for mobile robot control
    Satoshi Shintaku; Kazushi Nakano
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE EIGHTEENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ARTIFICIAL LIFE AND ROBOTICS (AROB 18TH '13), ALIFE ROBOTICS CO, LTD, 146-151, 2013, Peer-reviwed, Methods of Evolutionary Robotics using the evolutionary computation has been applied to design of mobile robot controllers. Genetic algorithms (GAs), ones of the typical methods in the evolutionary computation, have advantages that hardly fall into local minima compared to the other optimization algorithms. However the GAs have a big problem of premature convergence that the variety of the population is reduced, so the searching ability is degraded. In this study, through analysis of a new individual generation in GAs, we propose two methods of Probabilistic Crossover and Fluctuant Mutation to inhibit the premature convergence. We apply our proposal methods to benchmark problems in optimization and to controller design of the peg pushing robot, and demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods.

  • Leader-following formation navigation with virtual trajectories for dynamic multi-agents
    Ryo Kobayashi; Manabu Suzuki; Kazushi Nakano
    IFAC Proceedings Volumes (IFAC-PapersOnline), 7, 1, 773-779, 2013, Peer-reviwed, In recent years, cooperative control of multi-agents, especially formation control, has attracted considerable interest among control engineers. Comparing to a single agent performing alone, multiple cooperative agents are expected to improve the efficiency of operation, flexibility and fault-tolerance of the system. As one of the formation control methods, we deal with the leader-following formation navigation (LFFN). The LFFN is defined such that a human operator or an autonomous leader agent forms a queue of agents to guide multiple followers. The followers pass along the leader's trajectory with the same motion as the leader. When the leader passes along a safe route to avoid obstacles, the followers also pass along similar safe trajectory. However, when using the LFFN, the followers can shape only a single column formation. In this study, we first extent the above LFFN's usage to parallel single colums using adjoining virtual leaders. Next, we consider virtual leaders adjoining the leader to design virtual trajectories along which virtual leaders pass and virtual leader's velocities on the ones' path. We design the followers' target points which track the virtual leader's path with designed virtual velocity. Using our proposed method, the followers can avoid obstacles within the leader's path and shape a formation which is not a single column type. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our newly proposed method through simulation and experimentation.

  • Path Tracking Control of Lagrange Systems with Obstacle Avoidance
    Kazunori Sakurama; Kazushi Nakano
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CONTROL AUTOMATION AND SYSTEMS, INST CONTROL ROBOTICS & SYSTEMS, KOREAN INST ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS, 10, 1, 50-60, Feb. 2012, Peer-reviwed, This paper addresses a path tracking problem with obstacle avoidance for Lagrange systems. The proposed method is based on field potential methods in combination with navigation functions for obstacle avoidance. First, it is shown that a simple combination of the navigation function with the conventional path tracking controller does not work. Therefore, in order to cope with this problem, a new feedback law is proposed for a path parameter which characterizes the reference path. It is proved that the proposed controller achieves both path following and collision avoidance. Moreover, since the method adopts bounded navigation functions, the proposed controllers generate bounded input signals even when target systems approach obstacles. Finally, an experimental evaluation is performed with a two-link manipulator to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • Acquisition of Stationary Behavior Based on Multiagent Enforced SubPopulations

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE SEVENTEENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ARTIFICIAL LIFE AND ROBOTICS (AROB 17TH '12), ALIFE ROBOTICS CO, LTD, OS27-3, 586-591, 2012, Peer-reviwed, This paper presents a solution for the problems of state representation as well as a variety of optimal solutions in multiagent systems. These problems cannot be solved by traditional reinforcement learning methods such as Sarsa(lambda). We apply a method of Multiagent Enforced SubPopulations to the task of stationary behavior acquisition. The stationary behavior acquisition task means that the agents continue to select behavior in order to keep the stationary state. The behaviors of acquired agents are not uniquely determined in those tasks. In addition, there is a state representation problem in multiagent systems due to the complexity of the system. Furthermore, there is no example of the Multiagent Enforced SubPopulations applied to these types of tasks, in which the design policy of the fitness function is unclear. We demonstrate the validity of our proposed method through comparison with a Keepaway task in RoboCup Soccer as a stationary behavior acquisition task.

In its application to real robots, the learning processes are required to be finished in a short learning period of time. A reinforcement learning method of non-bootstrap type has fast convergence speeds in the tasks such as Sutton's maze problem that aim to reach the target state in a minimum time. However, these methods are difficult to learn either task to keep astable state as long as possible. In this study, we improve the reward allocation method for stabilizing control tasks. The validity of our method is demonstrated through simulation for stabilizing control of an inverted pendulum. Our proposed method can acquire a policy in order to keep a stable state within a short learning period of time.

Next, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the PCR in evaluating the identified system. Finally, we consider about a method for computing PCR for general stationary control systems based on Otomo-Nakagawa-Akaike's method, which is applicable to the above-mentioned SCR systems. © 2012 IEEE.

  • State feedback gain tuning for inverted pendulum in frequency domain using one-shot closed-loop transient response data

    2012 9th International Conference on Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology, ECTI-CON 2012, (CD-ROM), 2012, Peer-reviwed, In this paper, a method to tune state feedback gain for single-input multivariable systems is proposed. The method uses only a single set of closed-loop transient plant I/O data. The I/O data in the closed-loop system are filtered by a simple high pass filter, and the frequency response of the plant is obtained with the Discrete Fourier Transforms of the filtered data. The state feedback gain is determined to stabilize the closed-loop system and to improve the control performance based on the point of view of loop shaping using the estimated frequency response of the plant. The validity of the proposed method is illustrated through an experiment on a state feedback control of an inverted pendulum with an inertia rotor. © 2012 IEEE.

  • Wavelet-based position detection of buried pipes from GPR signals by use of angle information
    Makoto Kobayashi; Tomohiro Uchikado; Kazushi Nakano
    International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition, 390-396, 2012, Peer-reviwed, There are many metal pipes under paved roads in modern cities. For example, before installing a traffic signal post, underground mapping must take place to avoid hitting buried pipes. We use a ground-penetrating radar (GPR) to resolve this issue. The goal of this research is to detect the positions of buried pipes with GPR signals automatically. In this paper, we propose a new detection method for locating buried pipes. The proposed method consists of two-dimensional Gabor wavelet transform (2D GWT), Delaunay triangulation (DT), particle filter (PF) and polynomial regression (PR). 2D GWT results represent angle information of GPR signals called B-scan. The GWT results are used as a likelihood function for the PF, and the particles ride on and follow the target signal in B-scan. The DT is used for initial particle generation of the PF, and the positions of pipes are detected by using the PR model for expectations of the PF. We show that most positions of pipes are found by using our method. However, the problem of inaccuracy of some detections needs to be enhanced for automatic detection. © 2012 IEEE.

  • Emphasis of GPR signals reflected from buried pipes using statistical clustering techniques
    Tomohiro Uchikado; Makoto Kobayashi; Kazushi Nakano; Seiichi Shin
    International Conference on Wavelet Analysis and Pattern Recognition, 410-416, 2012, Peer-reviwed, When digging paved ground, it is necessary to check in advance the location of buried pipes without damaging them. Ground-penetrating radar (GPR), which can be used for imaging without destroying underground structures, has been commonly used. However it becomes a burden for the user of GPR to visually check the location of the buried pipes from the signal received from a GPR. We have already proposed a wavelet-based method to solve this problem. We introduced a "clustering technique" for emphasizing reflected waves from pipes. Since it is based on a statistical procedure, we have the problem of showing different results for each trial. In this paper, we propose a new method for reducing the dispersion of clustering results by implementing the original method several times. This method is not for detecting the location of buried pipes, but it aims at an improvement of the precision in comparison to the original method. © 2012 IEEE.

  • Multirate Sampling - Based Leader-Following Formation Navigation with Relative Information
    Manabu Suzuki; Kazushi Nakano; Kazunori Sakurama
    2012 PROCEEDINGS OF SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE (SICE), SOC INSTRUMENT CONTROL ENGINEERS JAPAN, 2244-2249, 2012, Peer-reviwed, The paper discusses about the leader-following formation navigation (LFFN). In this formation, one leader is controlled by a human operator while multiple followers pass along the leader's trajectory in the same motion as the leader behind the leader after some interval. We have proposed the LFFN method using relative information from laser range finders (LRFs). However, it is difficult to realize the above situation due to the difference between sampling period in LRF and control period. We overcome this difficulty by using the multirate sampling control theory. Furthermore, we deal with the fusion of collision avoidance and the maintenance of formation-distance (MFD) in the LFFN. We lastly demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method through simulation with three mobile robots.

The data is used in frequency domain for classical loop-shaping. The effectiveness and the simplicity of the proposed method are shown through simulations and experiments.

  • A reward allocation method for reinforcement learning in stabilizing control of T-inverted pendulum
    Shu Hosokawa; Kazushi Nakano
    2012 9th International Conference on Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology, ECTI-CON 2012, Springer, 19, 02, 109-114, 2012, Peer-reviwed, Invited, Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning methods that does not require a detailed teaching signal by a human, which is expected to be applied to real robots. In its application to real robots, the learning processes are required to be finished in a short learning period of time. A reinforcement learning method of non-bootstrap type has fast convergence speeds in the tasks such as Sutton's maze problem that aims to reach a target state in a minimum time. However, this method is difficult to learn a task of keeping a stable state as long as possible. This paper improves a reward allocation method for stabilizing control tasks. The validity of our method is demonstrated through simulation for stabilizing control of T-inverted pendulum. Our proposed method can acquire a policy of keeping a stable state within a short learning period of time. © 2012 IEEE.

  • Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning for State Feedback Control of Inverted Pendulum with Inertia Rotor
    Y. Matsui; S. Akamatsu; T. Kimura; K. Nakano
    SICE Annual Conference 2011, (CD-ROM), Sep. 2011, Peer-reviwed, In this paper, an application of Fictitious Reference Iterative Tuning (FRIT) to single-input multivariable systems is studied. Although the FRIT was proposed to tune PID controllers for single-input single-output systems, the FRIT is able to tune the state feedback gain for single-input multivariable systems. It is shown that the state feedback gain of an inverted pendulum with an inertia rotor can be tuned by the FRIT appropriately through experiments. In addition, the stability criterion for the state feedback gain tuned by the FRIT is discussed. © 2011 SICE.

    2011 IEEE/SICE International Symposium on System Integration, SII 2011, 409-414, 2011, Peer-reviwed, The design of an ideal differentiator is a difficult and a challenging task. In this paper, we propose two types of differentiators to estimate the time-derivative of an output signal. To begin with, a velocity estimator is proposed based on the adaptive identification method and compared with the VSS observer. Then, an acceleration estimator is proposed with the non-passifiable adaptive schemes. Finally, the proposed differentiators are applied to the estimation of the speed and acceleration of the electric throttle system modeled by Umerujan et al. The simulation results show that the proposed differentiators are robust to additive noises. © 2011 IEEE.

    Shu Hosokawa; Joji Kato; Kazushi Nakano; Kazunori Sakurama
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTEENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ARTIFICIAL LIFE AND ROBOTICS (AROB 16TH '11), ALIFE ROBOTICS CORP LTD, OS1-5, 66-69, 2011, Peer-reviwed, This paper presents a neuro-fuzzy navigation method for mobile robots based on local sensors mounted on the robot. This method is not sensitive to sensor noise, and is able to automatically adjust the internal parameters given by the teacher signal. However, most of previous studies dealt with two-wheel driven robots have focused on the acceleration control of their wheels. For this reason, it is difficult to generate teacher signals for robots with many actuators such as omnidirectional mobile robots. In this paper, we propose a method of neuro-fuzzy navigation based on control of rotation speed of the robots. We demonstrate the validity of our proposed method through simulations and experiments.

  • Average-consensus problem for networked multi-agent systems with heterogeneous time-delays
    Kazunori Sakurama; Kazushi Nakano
    IFAC Proceedings Volumes (IFAC-PapersOnline), 18, 1, 2368-2375, 2011, Peer-reviwed, This paper deals with an average-consensus problem for networked multi-agent systems with non-uniform and asymmetric (heterogeneous) time-delays. The goal of this paper is to derive a necessary and sufficient condition for average-consensus in the form of an algebraic condition. We deal with two cases according to initial conditions: the state variables before the initial time are constant or not constant. In each case, the necessary and sufficient condition is represented by the eigenvectors of the delay-transition and/or the delay-weighted Laplacians, which are newly introduced in this paper to express the structures of the delayed networks. This is the first paper which shows the strict condition for average-consensus of networked multi-agent systems with heterogeneous time-delays. The validity of the analysis results is demonstrated by simulations with six-agent systems. © 2011 IFAC.

  • Formation Control with Velocity Assignment for Second-order Multi-agent Systems with Heterogeneous Time-delays
    Kazunori Sakurama; Kazushi Nakano
    2011 50TH IEEE CONFERENCE ON DECISION AND CONTROL AND EUROPEAN CONTROL CONFERENCE (CDC-ECC), IEEE, 765-770, 2011, Peer-reviwed, This paper deals with a formation control problem for second-order multi-agent systems with heterogeneous time-delays. We aim to control multiple agents so as to form a desired formation pattern and to move with an assigned velocity in an assigned direction. The assigned velocity and direction are transmitted through long-distance communication from human operators as external signals. Some of the agents, called leaders, can receive the external signals. As shown in this paper, in multi-agent systems with heterogeneous time-delays, there remain formation and velocity errors because of the asymmetry of the time-delays. We investigate how large errors arise in these systems, and propose the best selection of leaders so as to minimize the velocity error. Finally, some numerical results demonstrate the validity of the proposed analyses.

  • Regulated Plus and Minus Power Supply Using Approximate 2DOF Robust Digital Control
    Atsushi Saitoh; Yusuke Tsuruhori; Yoshihiro Ohta; Kohji Higuchi; Kazushi Nakano
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE SIXTEENTH INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ARTIFICIAL LIFE AND ROBOTICS (AROB 16TH '11), ALIFE ROBOTICS CORP LTD, 16, 62-65, 2011, Peer-reviwed, A plus and minus switching power supplies are needed for many applications, for example audio power supply. Since the output voltage changes of such power amplifiers which are loads are large, the power supply voltagse are changed largely. Usually, in order to suppress the change, a capacitor with large capacity is used at the output end. If the capacities are made small, the power supplies can be compacted. In this paper, it is shown that the capacities can be made small using a robust digital control using an approximate 2DOF. The derived controller is actually implemented on a DSP. It is demonstrated from experiments that the power supplies can be compacted by the robust controller.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF WAVELETS MULTIRESOLUTION AND INFORMATION PROCESSING, WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 8, 4, 521-535, Jul. 2010, Peer-reviwed, This paper is concerned with an input-output relation of linear systems when using the complex wavelet packet transform. In general, the linear relation between input-output is guaranteed by the following two conditions: (1) the mother wavelet has a better frequency resolution, and (2) the real and imaginary parts in the mother wavelet consist of a Hilbert transform pair. The complex wavelet satisfying the above conditions has been used for demonstrating the linear relation. In this paper, a complex wavelet packet transform is applied for improving the frequency resolution. The validity of our approach is shown through a numerical experiment.

We present control-theoretic analysis of the experimental results based on acquired knowledge of actual network behavior. Because stable automated control capabilities are key issues in IP traffic engineering, we model an IP traffic control system based on the resulting analysis. In addition, comparison between simulated network behavior and actual behavior shows this model to have a high degree of stability, with a high potential for application to real networks.

  • New approach for IIR adaptive lattice filter structure using simultaneous perturbation algorithm
    Jorge Ivan Medina Martinez; Kazushi Nakano; Kohji Higuchi
    IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 130, 4, 422-429, 2010, Peer-reviwed, Adaptive infinite impulse response (IIR), or recursive, filters are less attractive mainly because of the stability and the difficulties associated with their adaptive algorithms. Therefore, in this paper the adaptive hR lattice filters are studied in order to devise algorithms that preserve the stability of the corresponding direct-form schemes. We analyze the local properties of stationary points, a transformation achieving this goal is suggested, which gives algorithms that can be efficiently implemented. Application to the Steiglitz-McBride (SM) and Simple Hyperstable Adaptive Recursive Filter (SHARF) algorithms is presented. Also a modified version of Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) is presented in order to get the coefficients in a lattice form more efficiently and with a lower computational cost and complexity. The results are compared with previous lattice versions of these algorithms. These previous lattice versions may fail to preserve the stability of stationary points. © 2010 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

  • A consideration of human immunity-based reinforcement learning with continuous states
    Shu Hosokawa; Kazushi Nakano; Kazunori Sakurama
    Artificial Life and Robotics, 15, 4, 560-564, 2010, Peer-reviwed, Many reinforcement learning methods have been studied on the assumption that a state is discretized and the environment size is predetermined. However, an operating environment may have a continuous state and its size may not be known in advance, e. g., in robot navigation and control. When applying these methods to the environment described above, we may need a large amount of time for learning or failing to learn. In this study, we improve our previous human immunity-based reinforcement learning method so that it will work in continuous state space environments. Since our method selects an action based on the distance between the present state and the memorized action, information about the environment (e. g., environment size) is not required in advance. The validity of our method is demonstrated through simulations for the swingup control of an inverted pendulum. © 2010 International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics (ISAROB).

  • Current control of a PWM power amplifier by an approximate 2-degree-of-freedom digital controller

    Artificial Life and Robotics, 14, 3, 433-439, Dec. 2009, Peer-reviwed, There is a need for robust current control of a pulse width modulation (PWM) power amplifier whose transient response characteristics do not deteriorate with extensive load changes and/or direct-current power supply voltage changes. In this article, we propose a digital robust controller with bumpless mode switching to control the current of a PWM power amplifier to satisfy the demands and extend the range of an inductive load width. It is necessary to measure the value of the load in order to implement this bumpless mode switching automatically depending on the load range. Therefore, a method of estimating the inductive load is shown. The bumpless mode switching is automatically performed by estimating an inductive value without specifying the value of the inductive load beforehand. That is, the value of the inductive load is estimated during the DDC execution, and the control mode is automatically switched bumplessly according to this estimated value. A digital controller equipped with inductance estimation and bumpless mode switching is realized by a DSP. Some experiments show that the digital controller with the proposed bumpless mode switching can satisfy larger specifications. © 2009 International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics (ISAROB).

    IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, 129, 12, 1-1146, 2009, Peer-reviwed, Robust DC-DC converter that can function with a single controller over a wide range of load and input voltages is required. In such a case, changes in the output voltage must be suppressed. We propose an aproximate two-degree-offreedom (2DOF) digital controller that realizes the start-up response and dynamic load response independently. The controller makes the control bandwidth wider and suppresses the variations that occur in the output voltage due to sudden changes in loads and input voltages. In this paper, a new approximate 2DOF digital controller that involves the additinal zeros is proposed. The controller greatly suppresses the variations that occur in the output voltage due to sudden changes in loads and input voltages, This controller is actually implemented on a digital-signal-controller (DSP) and is connected to a DC-DC converter. Experimental studies demonstrate that this digital controller can satisfy the given specifications. © 2009 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

  • Parameter estimation using a modified version of SPSA algorithm applied to state space models
    Jorge Ivan Medina Martinez; Kazushi Nakano; Kohji Higuchi
    IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, 129, 12, 7-1194, 2009, Peer-reviwed, The objective of this paper is the estimation of unknown static parameters in non-linear non-Gaussian state-space model. The Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) algorithm is considered due to its highly efficient gradient approximation. We consider a particle filtering method and employ the SPSA algorithm to maximize recursively the likelihood function. Nevertheless, the SPSA algorithm can become inadequate in models as non-Gaussian state-space model. So that, we have proposed to modify the SPSA algorithm in order to estimate parameters very efficiently in complex models as proposed here reducing its computational cost. An efficient parameter estimator as the Finite Difference Stochastic Approximation (FDSA) algorithm is considered here, in order to compare it with the efficiency of the proposed SPSA algorithm. The proposed algorithm can generate maximum likelihood estimates very efficiently. The performance of proposed SPSA algorithm is shown through simulation using a model with highly multimodal likelihood.© 2009 the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

    IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, 128, 4, 22-536, 2008, Peer-reviwed, In this paper, we focus on a practical experiment concerning IP traffic engineering over Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), especially which features feedback control capabilities. We present control-theoretic analysis of the experimental results based on acquired knowledge of actual network behavior. Because stable automated control capabilities are key issues in IP traffic engineering, we model an IP traffic control system based on the resulting analysis. In addition, comparison between simulated network behavior and actual one shows this model to have a high degree of stability, with a high potential for application to real networks. © 2008 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

    IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, 128, 9, 4-1097, 2008, Peer-reviwed, This paper presents an application of model-based control techniques to automotive engine speed control systems. Althougt the modeling of nonlinear systems has been carried out for automotive engines including electronic-controlled throttle servo systems, there still remains the difficulty of the strong non-linearity due to the engine friction and manifold pressure functions. This paper proposes a design method of some engine speed control by analyzing the nonlinear systems using sliding-mode control paradigm. In comparison with the map-based control method, the effectiveness of the proposed control method is verified using simulation and experimental results on an experimental system. © 2008 The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

    2008 PROCEEDINGS OF SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-7, IEEE, 2062-+, 2008, Peer-reviwed, In this paper a multi-stage switching type digital controller Is proposed for spreading capacitance load range more and Improving transient characteristics for inductance load. In the previous proposed controller, the configuration of the controller Is the same to all loads. At Inductive load, there Is a possibility that the transient characteristics may become bad and the specification may not he satisfied. Therefore, a load current Is estimated at Inductive load, and the controller which also uses load current for feedback is configured. A inductance Is estimated and a controller is switched to this controller bumplessly. In order to extend the range of capacitance load, a controller Is Increased from two stage to three stage, and these are switched to each other bumplessly. A DSP is Implemented to this digital controller. It is demonstrated from experiments that the multi-stage switching type digital controller Is realizable and the given specifications are satisfied.

  • Adaptive immunity based reinforcement learning
    Jungo Ito; Kazushi Nakano; Kazunori Sakurama; Shu Hosokawa
    Artificial Life and Robotics, 13, 1, 188-193, 2008, Peer-reviwed, Recently much attention has been paid to intelligent systems which can adapt themselves to dynamic and/or unknown environments by the use of learning methods. However, traditional learning methods have a disadvantage that learning requires enormously long amounts of time with the degree of complexity of systems and environments to be considered. We thus propose a novel reinforcement learning method based on adaptive immunity. Our proposed method can provide a near-optimal solution with less learning time by self-learning using the concept of adaptive immunity. The validity of our method is demonstrated through some simulations with Sutton's maze problem. © International Symposium on Artificial Life and Robotics (ISAROB). 2008.

  • Cascade Lattice IIR Adaptive Filter Structure Using Simultaneous Perturbation Method for Self-Adjusting SHARF Algorithm
    Jorge Ivan Medina Martinez; Kazushi Nakano
    2008 PROCEEDINGS OF SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-7, IEEE, 2A21-4, 2072-2077, 2008, Peer-reviwed, The infinite impulse response (IIR) is a property of signal processing systems. The systems with this property are known as the IIR system. A new IIR adaptive filter algorithm has been proposed which is constructed as a cascade of transversal structure as well as all pole lattice structure. The filter structure is adapted using the simple hyperstable adaptive recursive filter (SHARF) algorithm in which the transversal and lattice sections are updated using the simultaneous perturbation method. In this paper, the SHARF algorithm is investigated using strictly positive real (SPR) transfer functions designed without any prior knowledge of the filter parameters by the pole-zero placement on the unit circle. The proposed algorithm preserves the stability of the IIR adaptive filter during the adaptation with lower computational complexity and cost than conventional algorithms. The simulation results show the desirable features of the proposed scheme.

  • Application of Non-linear Observer with Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation Method to Single Flexible Link SMC
    Jorge Ivan Medina Martinez; Umerujan Sawut; Kazushi Nakano
    2008 PROCEEDINGS OF SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-7, IEEE, 2A21-3, 2066-+, 2008, Peer-reviwed, The main object in this study concerns to vibration control of a one-link flexible arm system. The robot link manipulators are widely used in various industrial applications. A variable structure system (VSS) non-linear observer has been proposed in order to reduce the oscillation in controlling the angular. The non-linear observer parameters are optimized using a novel version of simultaneous perturbation stochastic approximation (SPSA) algorithm. The SPSA algorithm is especially useful when the number of parameters to be adjusted is large, and makes it possible to estimate them very efficiently. As for the vibration and position control, a model reference sliding mode control (MR-SMC) has been proposed. The simulations show that the vibration and position controls of a one-link flexible arm system can be achieved more easy and efficiently with a non-linear observer designed using our proposed modified SPSA algorithm.

  • ON INPUT-OUTPUT RELATION OF LINEAR SYSTEMS BY USE OF PTI COMPLEX WAVELET PACKET
    Masaaki Osake; Kazushi Nakano
    PROCEEDINGS OF 2008 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON WAVELET ANALYSIS AND PATTERN RECOGNITION, VOLS 1 AND 2, IEEE, 611-616, 2008, Peer-reviwed, This paper is concerned with an input-output relation of linear systems when using the PTI (perfect translation invariance) complex wavelet packet transform. In general, the linear relation between input-output is guaranteed by the following two conditions: (1)the mother wavelet has a better frequency resolution, and (2)the real and imaginary parts in the mother wavelet consist of a Hilbert transform pair. The PTI complex wavelet satisfying the above conditions has been used for demonstrating the linear relation. In this paper, a PTI complex wavelet packet transform Is applied for Improving the frequency resolution. The validity of our approach is shown through a numerical experiment.

    2008 PROCEEDINGS OF SICE ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-7, IEEE, 2B21-1, 2519-+, 2008, Peer-reviwed, If the lines which connect the output terminal of DC-DC converter and the load are long, the voltage actually across load will be changed largely to produce the voltage drops by the impedances of the lines. Then, the terminal which senses the voltage across load is prepared apart from the output terminal of DC-DC converter, and it leads to the load, and the voltage across load is adjusted so that it is not changed largely. This method is called remote sensing. When the lines becomes long, the usual method of adjusting the voltage across load cannot suppress enough the change of it. In this paper, the robust digital controller for suppressing the change of the voltage across load is proposed. Experimental studies using DSP demonstrate that this type of digital controller is effective to suppress it.

  • 衝突回避を考慮した複数ロボットのオンライン目標軌道修正 -ロボット間の相対角度を用いた手法-
    桜間一徳; 中野和司
    計測自動制御学会論文集, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 43, 11, 1037-1046, Nov. 2007, Peer-reviwed, This paper addresses online modification of reference trajectories for multiple robots with collision avoidance. A smooth mapping dependent on distances between the robots has been proposed to coordinate collision-free motion from given reference trajectories. The trajectories generated by the mapping allow the robots to avoid collisions with each other, and are smooth enough to be tracked by the robots. Moreover, when the reference trajectories are separated from each other, the mapping is identical and the modified trajectories remain unchanged from the original ones. Although the existing method works well for collision avoidance, the modified trajectories often include unnecessary avoidance motion. A new method based on the existing one is proposed to improve the mapping to generate more natural trajectories by eliminating the unnecessary avoidance motion. The new mapping depends not only on the relative distances but also the relative angles between the robots. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by a simulation for three mobile robots.

  • Swing-up and stabilization control of a cart-pendulum system via energy control and controlled lagrangian methods
    Kazunori Sakurama; Satoshi Hara; Kazushi Nakano
    ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN JAPAN, SCRIPTA TECHNICA-JOHN WILEY & SONS, 160, 4, 24-31, Sep. 2007, Peer-reviwed, This paper addresses a swing-up and stabilizing problem for a cart-pendulum system, which consists of a pendulum and a motor-driven cart. Existing methods are based on the strategy of swing-up of the pendulum by energy control methods, then switching the controllers to balance the pendulum when it approaches the upright position. The switching angle influences significantly control performance, so the pendulum might fall down if the angle is inadequately chosen. This paper proposes a swing-up and stabilizing control method which makes it possible to determine an appropriate switching angle more arbitrarily. In addition to the energy control method for swing-up, a stabilizing method based on controlled Lagrangians is adopted instead of a linear controller. The attractive domain of the closed-loop system with this method can be known in advance and is wider than with linear controllers. In this way, our proposed control strategy overcomes the difficulty in choosing the switching angle of the controllers. An experimental result illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • Nonlinear system modeling and robust predictive control based on RBF-ARX model
    Hui Peng; Zi-Jiang Yang; Weihua Gui; Min Wu; Hideo Shioya; Kazushi Nakano
    ENGINEERING APPLICATIONS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 20, 1, 1-9, Feb. 2007, Peer-reviwed, An integrated modeling and robust model predictive control (MPC) approach is proposed for a class of nonlinear systems with unknown steady state. First, the nonlinear system is identified off-line by RBF-ARX model possessing linear ARX model structure and state-dependent Gaussian RBF neural network type coefficients. On the basis of the RBF-ARX model, a combination of a local linearization model and a polytopic uncertain linear parameter-varying (LPV) model are built to approximate the present and the future system's nonlinear behavior, respectively. Subsequently, based on the approximate models, a min-max robust MPC algorithm with input constraint is designed for the output-tracking control of the nonlinear system with unknown steady state. The closed-loop stability of the MPC strategy is guaranteed by the use of parameter-dependent Lyapunov function and the feasibility of the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). Simulation study to a NO(x) decomposition process illustrates the effectiveness of the modeling and robust MPC approaches proposed in this paper. (C) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • Practical knowledge acquisition on robust IP traffic control

    IC-BNMT 2007: Proceedings of 2007 International Conference on Broadband Network & Multimedia Technology, BEIJING UNIV POSTS TELECOMMUNICAT PRESS, 9-14, 2007, Peer-reviwed, In this paper, we focus on a practical knowledge acquisition centric approach, especially concerning IP traffic engineering (TE) over MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching). Although MPLS has been standardized to solve the network-wide congestion problem, the realization of automated control capabilities is an important problem from the viewpoint of practical use. As for services, the overlay network in application layer is often used. Due to the respective optimal strategy of packet transmission, securing the stability of network behavior becomes a problem more and more. As a main requisite for the solution, the robustness that keeps operating normally in appropriate time for unpredictable behavior on the network is needed in spite of disturbances by the effects of multiple service overlay networks. We analyze the results of practical experiments from the control-theoretic viewpoint based on acquired knowledge regarding oscillating behaviors and the parameter tuning for stabilization., In addition, a simulation with a plant model, an improvement of stabilization using the proportional-integral control, and a feedback compensation with the Smith predictor are described.

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CONTROL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 15, 1, 130-143, Jan. 2007, Peer-reviwed, A Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) neural networks-based local linearization autoregressive with exogenous (ARX) model is utilized for describing the dynamics of a class of smooth nonlinear and nonstationary industrial processes. The dynamics of the underlying processes may be treated as the system operating-point-dependent time-varying locally-linear behavior. The RBF-ARX model is a pseudo-linear ARX model identified offline, and its functional coefficients are composed of the operating-point-dependent RBF neural networks. The RBF-ARX model-based predictive control (MPC) design to the nonlinear process is presented, and stability analysis of the nonlinear MPC under some conditions is discussed. Especially, the feasibility and effectiveness as well as the significant performance improvements of the nonlinear MPC design proposed is demonstrated with a real industrial application to the nitrogen oxide (NO(x)) decomposition (de-NO.) process in thermal power plants.

  • Wavelet-based underdetermined blind source separation of speech mixtures
    Takehiro Hamadal; Kazushi Nakano; Akihiro Ichijo
    2007 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON CONTROL, AUTOMATION AND SYSTEMS, VOLS 1-6, IEEE, 1629-1633, 2007, Peer-reviwed, Blind Source Separation (BSS) is an approach to estimate original source signals only by observed signals through multiple sensors without any prior knowledge about their mixture process. The BSS is currently expected to be applied to such a broad field as preprocessing of speech recognition, analysis of bio-signals, etc. In this paper, we focus on underdetermined BSS (i.e., BSS with more sources than sensors). In underdetermined BSS, there are many estimation algorithms based on sparse representation of source signals. The accuracy of decomposition of source signals depends strongly on sparsity hypothesis. For this purpose, it is effective to preprocess observed signals by using a linear transformation with respect to the base so as to make it more sparse representation of signals. We now propose an application of time-frequency analysis to preprocessing of sound source signals using the RI-Spline wavelet transform. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a computer simulation using real data.

  • Swing-up and stabilization control of a cart-pendulum system via energy control and controlled lagrangian methods
    Kazunori Sakurama; Satoshi Hara; Kazushi Nakano
    IEEJ Transactions on Electronics, Information and Systems, Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, 126, 5, 617-623, 2006, Peer-reviwed, This paper addresses a swing-up and stabilization problem of a cart-pendulum system using energy control and controlled Lagrangian methods. A common strategy for this problem is to switch two controllers for swing-up and stabilization according to the angle of the pendulum. In most cases, control performance greatly depends on the switching angle, and choice of a bad angle cannot even stand the pendulum upward. Thus, a lot of trial and error is necessary to find effective switching angles. To release us from the difficulty in choosing the switching angle, this paper proposes a robust control method to assist our choice based on controlled Lagrangian and energy control methods. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed combination methods can effectively swing up and stabilize the pendulum, whereas existing methods cannot.

  • A resolution improving method of digital PWM using pulse composite technique
    Eiji Takegami; Kohji Higuchi; Kazushi Nakano; Satoshi Tomioka; Kazushi Watanabe
    2006 SICE-ICASE INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-13, IEEE, 4402-+, 2006, Peer-reviwed, In recent years, digitization of all control parts in switching power supplies including PWM generators is progressing for demands such as intelligent performances and common use of hardware, etc. Then, a problem is in the resolution of digital PWM generators for improving control performances. Since the digital PWM generator is constituted using a counter, a carrier wave turns into a stairs wave, and step amplitudes is decided with a clock cycle. When the clock cycle is fixed, the resolution becomes low as the switching frequency becomes high. Consequently, the accuracy of output voltage becomes bad. In this paper, a method for remarkably improving the resolution of the digital PWM generator using the pulse composite technique is proposed. The method is realizable by some parts and easy computation, and is applied to the digital PWM generator built-in DSP. The usefulness and practicality are verified by experiments.

  • Automatic multi-stage bumpless mode switching type digital controller for PWM power amplifier using load estimation
    Koji Matsushita; Ryosuke Okazaki; Kohji Higuchi; Kazushi Nakano; Tatsuyoshi Kajikawa; Fumiho Chino
    2006 SICE-ICASE INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-13, IEEE, 4396-+, 2006, Peer-reviwed, In this paper a multi-stage switching type digital controller is proposed for spreading capacitance load range more and improving transient characteristics for inductance load. In the previous proposed controller, the configuration of the controller is the same to all loads. At inductive load, there is a possibility that the transient characteristics may become bad and the specification may not be satisfied. Therefore, a load current is estimated at inductive load, and the controller which also uses load current for feedback is configured. A inductance is estimated and a controller is switched to this controller bumplessly. In order to extend the range of capacitance load, a controller is increased from two stage to three stage, and these are switched to each other bumplessly. A DSP is implemented to this digital controller. It is demonstrated from experiments that the multi-stage switching type digital controller is realizable and the given specifications are satisfied.

  • A combined approach using subspace and beamforming methods for time-frequency domain blind source separation
    Akihiro Ichijo; Takehiro Hamada; Tetsuya Tabaru; Kazushi Nakano
    2006 SICE-ICASE INTERNATIONAL JOINT CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-13, IEEE, 1437-+, 2006, Peer-reviwed, Blind source separation (BSS) is an approach to estimate original source signals only by measurements through multiple sensors without any prior knowledge about their mixture process. BSS is currently applied to a broad range of fields, such as pre-processing of speech recognition, analysis of bio-signals, etc. In BSS of convolutive mixtures, the signals must be expanded into time-frequency domains. In this case, permutation between frequencies becomes indefinite. This paper proposes a method for solving the indefiniteness problem by using directional peaks in addition to directional nulls in directivity patterns. This method makes it possible to combine the beamforming and subspace methods and to improve the accuracy in separatability of BSS. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated by computer simulation.

  • Online modification of reference trajectories for multiple robots with collision avoidance
    Kazunori Sakurama; Kazushi Nakano
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 45TH IEEE CONFERENCE ON DECISION AND CONTROL, VOLS 1-14, IEEE, CD-ROM, 2412-2417, 2006, Peer-reviwed, This paper addresses online modification of reference trajectories for multiple robots with collision avoidance. First, a smooth mapping dependent on the relative distances between the robots is proposed to coordinate collision-free motion from given reference trajectories. The trajectories modified by the mapping make the robots avoid collisions with each other, and are smooth enough to be tracked by the robots. Moreover, when the reference trajectories are separated from each other, the mapping is identical and the modified trajectories remain unchanged from the original ones. Next, a value function is considered consisting of the distances between the original and modified reference trajectories. From the viewpoint of minimizing the value function, a way to choose design parameters for the mapping is specified. Finally, a simulation for three mobile robots demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • Moment combined partial least squares (MC-PLS) as an improved quantitative calibration method: application to the analyses of petroleum and petrochemical products
    H Chung; SW Cho; Y Toyoda; K Nakano; M Maeda
    ANALYST, ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, 131, 5, 684-691, 2006, Peer-reviwed, A new quantitative calibration algorithm, called "Moment Combined Partial Least Squares ( MC-PLS)'', which combines the moment of spectrum and conventional PLS was proposed. Its calibration performance was evaluated for the analyses of three import petroleum and petrochemical products: gasoline, naphtha and polyol samples. The selected properties for these products included the research octane number ( RON) and Reid vapor pressure ( RVP) for gasoline, the distillation temperature at 10% ( D 10%) for naphtha and the hydroxyl ( OH) number for polyol. The major concept presented here used the moment to find the closest spectrum of a sample in a given dataset, and generate the difference spectrum and the corresponding difference in the property. These difference spectra and property differences were then used for PLS calibration. The moment has been employed in spectroscopic fields as a simple and effective "spectral feature characteristic'' using just a few scalar values ( moments). MC-PLS showed improved prediction performance over PLS for each case. In MC-PLS, the difference spectra generated using the moments were used as explained; therefore, additional detail in spectral variations can be utilized for calibrations. Additionally, the difference in the property was employed as reference data, so that its variation range was smaller when compared with that of the original property. Consequently, the MC-PLS performance could be better since the feature-enhanced spectra were used to model a narrower range of property variations. In the case of the D 10% prediction for naphtha, a non-linear prediction pattern that occurred in conventional PLS was effectively corrected using the MC-PLS method.

  • Trajectory tracking control of bimodal piecewise affine systems
    K Sakurama; T Sugie; K Nakano
    ACC: Proceedings of the 2005 American Control Conference, Vols 1-7, IEEE, 2799-2804, 2005, Peer-reviwed, This paper deals with a trajectory tracking problem of a class of bimodal piecewise affine systems, which have rarely been discussed so far. This would be very challenging because of the discontinuous changes of their vector fields. First, we introduce an error variable and an error system as a generalization of the tracking error and its system. As an error variable, a function switched by the mode of a piecewise affine system is adopted to overcome an inherent difficulty in trajectory tracking of piecewise affine systems. Next, we design a tracking controller which stabilizes the error system using a Lyapunov-like function, which can be applied to systems including state jumps. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

  • Robust MPC based on multivariable RBF-ARX model for nonlinear systems
    Hui Peng; Weihua Gui; Kazushi Nakano; Hideo Shioya
    2005 44th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control & European Control Conference, Vols 1-8, IEEE, 3777-3782, 2005, Peer-reviwed, For a class of smooth nonlinear multivariable systems whose working-points vary with time and which may be represented by a linear MIMO ARX model at each working-point, a combination of a local linearization and a polytopic uncertain linear parameter-varying (LPV) state-space model are built to approximate the present and the future system's nonlinear behavior respectively. The combination models are constructed on the basis of a matrix polynomial MIMO RBF-ARX model identified offline for characterizing the underlying nonlinear system. A min-max robust MPC strategy is investigated for the systems based on the approximate models proposed. The closed loop stability of the MPC algorithm is guaranteed by the use of time-varying parameter-dependent Lyapunov function and the feasibility of the linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). The effectiveness of the modeling and control methods proposed in this paper is illustrated by a case study of a thermal power plant simulator.

  • Zeros and relative degree assignments of adaptive chaotic communication systems
    T Matsuo; H Suemitsu; K Nakano
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIFURCATION AND CHAOS, WORLD SCIENTIFIC PUBL CO PTE LTD, 14, 12, 4233-4247, Dec. 2004, Peer-reviwed, A general methodology for designing chaotic and hyperchaotic cryptosystems has been developed using the control systems theory. Grassi et al. proposed a nonlinear-observer-based decrypter for the state of an encrypter. If we can design the decrypter without the knowledge of the parameters of the encrypter, the chaos-based secure communication systems are not secure. In this paper, we have designed an observer-based chaotic communication system, which allows us to assign the relative degree and the zeros of its encrypter system. Moreover, under some conditions, we have designed an adaptive decrypter using the adaptive parameter adjustment law based on a Riccati equation when the transfer function of the encrypter is of minimal-phase type. The simulations via MATLAB/Simulink suggest that the encrypter dynamics should be designed such that its relative degree is more than 2 and its zeros are unstable so as to fail to synchronize the cryptosystem for the intruders.

    計測自動制御学会論文集, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 40, 7, 770-776, Jul. 2004, Peer-reviwed, With increasing demand for high fuel efficiency, better exhaust control measures, comfort and high performance on current vehicles, electronic control of the throttle chamber which decides the engine output, is getting advanced day by day. It is expected that this trend will be maintained towards electronic control of the throttle chamber in conjunction with injection air-amount control, drive control, traction control, etc. A control method for electronic throttle servo system is proposed, which consists of a DC motor, a throttle valve and a return spring. The control method fulfills the demand for high robustness in nonlinear opening of the throttle. In this paper, a sliding-mode controller with prescribed transient response is designed for electronic throttle chamber systems. By using a function augmented sliding hyperplane, it is guaranteed that the output tracking error converges to zero in a finite time. Simulation and experimental results are shown for the confirmation of effectiveness of the sliding-mode controller with prescribed transient response.

  • RBF-ARX model-based nonlinear system modeling and predictive control with application to a NOx decomposition process
    H Peng; T Ozaki; Y Toyoda; H Shioya; K Nakano; Haggan-Ozaki, V; M Mori
    CONTROL ENGINEERING PRACTICE, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 12, 2, 191-203, Feb. 2004, Peer-reviwed, This paper considers the modeling and control problem for nonstationary nonlinear systems whose dynamic characteristics depend on time-varying working-points and may be locally linearized. it is proposed to describe the system behavior by the RBF-ARX model, which is an ARX model with Gaussian radial basis function (RBF) network-style coefficients depending on the working-points of a system. The RBF-ARX model is constructed as a global model, and is estimated off-line so as to avoid the possible failure of on-line parameter estimation during real-time control. A receding horizon predictive control (RBF-ARX-MPC) strategy based on the RBF-ARX model that does not require on-line parameter estimation for the nonlinear system is presented. The local linearization of the system at each working-point may be easily obtained from the global RBF-ARX model and so the use of nonlinear programming techniques to solve the on-line optimization problem with constraints in RBF-ARX-MPC is also avoided. A fast-converging estimation method is applied to optimize the RBF-ARX model parameters. A case study and example of an industrial experiment on the nitrogen oxide (NO,) decomposition process in thermal power plants are given to demonstrate the modeling precision and control performance.

  • Nominal performance recovery by PID+Q controller and its application to antisway, control of crane lifter with visual feedback

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON CONTROL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 12, 1, 156-166, Jan. 2004, Peer-reviwed, We have recently suggested the PID+Q controller that consists of a PID controller, a stable free-parameter, and an internal model of plants. In this brief paper, we point out that the free parameter can be designed to improve the robust stability and the robust performance of the control system, and present a nominal-performance recovery problem to design the free parameter with better robust performance. Moreover, we apply the PID+Q controller to the robust antisway control of crane lifter in order to compensate the time delay caused by the vision-based measurement. After modeling the lifter system with the visual sensor as a pendulum control system with a time delay, we design a robust PD + Q controller and a PID + Q controller using the MATLAB LMI Toolbox. Finally, we implement the designed controller on a table-size lifter kit with the visual sensor to demonstrate the proposed PD P D + Q controller.

    SICE 2004 ANNUAL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-3, SOC INSTRUMENT CONTROL ENGINEERS JAPAN, 1362-1367, 2004, This paper considers the blind separation of the signals (BSS) including reflections such as sound. The BSS for the simultaneous mixture case is achieved by maximizing the mutual information between input and output signals or by zeroing the cross-correlations of the separated signals. For making these methods applicable to the convolutive mixture case, it is important to transform signals in the time domain into those in the time-frequency domain by the wavelet transform.

The proposed high-order approximate 2DOF digital controller is actually implemented on a DSP and is connected to a DC-DC converter. Experimental studies demonstrate that this type digital controller can satisfy given specifications.

    計測自動制御学会論文集, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 39, 12, 1150-1155, Dec. 2003, Peer-reviwed, With increasing demand for high fuel efficiency, better exhaust control measures, comfort and high performance on current vehicles, electronic control of the throttle chamber, which decides the engine output, is getting advanced day by day. This trend is expected to continue for future as well. Highly accurate and high performance systems can be constructed by the use of electronic control of the throttle chamber, in idle air quantity control, torque control, traction control, etc.
    In this paper, precise modeling, identification, and position control of an electronically controlled throttle system, that has heavy nonlinear characteristics of gear, negative pressure, and spring, was shown. System identification was carried out using GA, and using disturbance VSS observers. Sliding mode nonlinear control was proposed for stable and better control of the identified system considering the practical application. The effectiveness of the control method was verified using simulation and experimental results on an experimental system.

Grassi proposed a nonlinear-observer-based decrypter for the state of the encrypter. If we can design the decrypter without the knowledge of the parameters of the encrypter, the chaos-based secure communication systems are not secure. In this paper, we design an observer-based chaotic communication system, which allows us to assign the relative degree and the zeros of its encrypter system. Moreover, under some conditions, we design an adaptive decrypter using the adaptive parameter adjustment law based on a Riccati equation in the case where the transfer function of the encrypter is of minimal-phase type.

    ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN JAPAN, SCRIPTA TECHNICA-JOHN WILEY & SONS, 144, 1, 68-77, Jul. 2003, Peer-reviwed, A method is proposed for designing a robust controller for PWM power amplifiers, which are widely used as amplifiers and power supplies. The main technical requirements imposed on PWM power amplifiers are linearity in a wide frequency range and a well-damped fast dynamic response in the presence of extensive load and DC power supply variations. Therefore, in order to satisfy the design specifications, namely, linearity in a wide frequency range and no overshoots during transients, an approximate two-degree-of-freedom integral control structure is proposed and a design procedure for the robust controller is discussed. It is shown by some simulations and experiments that the designed controller shows especially good dynamic performance and effective disturbance rejection in the presence of external disturbances, that is, load and power-supply variations.

  • Design of a robust PWM power amplifier using approximate two-degree-of-freedom digital integral-type control only with voltage feedback

    ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATIONS IN JAPAN PART II-ELECTRONICS, SCRIPTA TECHNICA-JOHN WILEY & SONS, 86, 6, 1-12, 2003, Peer-reviwed, There is a need for robust PWM power amplifiers whose transient response characteristics do not deteriorate in the presence of extensive load variation and/or direct-current power-supply voltage variation. In this paper, a methodology is proposed for designing a digital robust controller using only voltage feedback for PWM power amplifiers which can satisfy such demands. The controlled object (PWM power amplifier) is represented by a discrete-time system with consideration of input dead-time and the conversion of current feedback to voltage feedback. First, a model matching system using only voltage (output) feedback is created for this controlled object. Next, it is shown that an approximate two-degree-of-freedom digital robust control system can be created by connecting the robust compensator obtained by approximating this model matching system. Furthermore, it is shown that a digital integral-type controller using only voltage feedback is obtained by equivalent transformation. Methods for determining the parameters of the LC filter and the controller, and a sampling time which satisfies design specifications are shown. Finally, it is verified by simulation and experiment that all the given specifications are satisfied by the proposed digital controller and that the design method with consideration of input dead-time is useful.

  • Robust control of PWM power amplifier by approximate 2-degree-of-freedom digital controller with bumpless mode switching

    IECON'03: THE 29TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE IEEE INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SOCIETY, VOLS 1 - 3, PROCEEDINGS, IEEE, 1852-1857, 2003, Robust PWM power amplifiers whose transient response characteristics do not deteriorate against an extensive load changess and/or direct-current power-supply voltage changes are needed. In this paper, a digital robust controller with bumpless mode switching for PWM power amplifiers which can satisfy such demands and can extend the range of capacitive load wider is proposed. It is necessary to measure the value of load to implement this bumpless mode switching automatically according to the load range. Thus, the method of estimating capacitive load is shown. Although it is necessary to use current for estimating capacitive load, it will become expensive if a current sensor is used. Therefore, an easy current estimating method which can be performed more cheaply is shown. The current estimated by this method is used for capacity estimation and current feedback. The bumpless mode switching is automatically performed by estimating a capacitive value, without specifying the value of capacitive load beforehand. That is, the value of capacitive load is estimated during DDC execution, and the control mode is automatically switched bumplessly according to this estimated value. The digital controller equipped with capacity estimation and the bumpless mode switching is realized by a DSP. An experiment shows that the digital controller with the proposed bumpless mode can satisfy larger specifications.

  • Wavelet-Based Identification for Control of Watertube Drum Boilers

    IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, 122, 2, 111-119, 2002, Peer-reviwed, The procedure for identifying linear time-varying systems with dead times using the wavelet analysis has already been proposed by the authors. This paper reports an application of the identification procedure to actual control systems of watertube drum-boiler in a thermal power plant. The control systems are required to supply steadily high-quality steam subject to disturbances due to unexpected changes in load. Therefore, it is necessary to make a precise model which takes the disturbances into consideration for control system design. The identification procedure is applied by the following steps: (1) extension of the method for single-input/output systems to that for two-input/output systems, (2) estimation of the time span where the system is considered to be in steady states, and (3) estimation of the process transfer functions in each time span. The identified model is evaluated in terms of mean square errors of the process outputs (steam-pressure and water-level) in comparison with an ARX model. © 2002, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan.

    システム制御情報学会論文誌, THE INSTITUTE OF SYSTEMS, CONTROL AND INFORMATION ENGINEERS (ISCIE), 13, 2, 72-79, Feb. 2000, Peer-reviwed, For the problem of estimating unknown parameters of the transfer function model from input and output (I/O) data contaminated by colored measurement noise, a three-step estimation procedure has been previously proposed to exploit the I/O correlation information with respect to the correlation time. This paper analyzes this procedure from the compatibility between the parameter transformation and the bias-compensated least-squares (BCLS) estimation used in the third step. The transformation is made from the over-parameterized model in the first and second steps to the final model with the true order in the final step, and is based on the minimization of the mean square error (MSE) between the outputs of the two models. The BCLS estimation is based on the minimization of MSE between the final model output and the process output. It is verified that the condition for compatibility, i.e. the equivalence of two minimizations, is a consequence of the two over-parameterized estimation equations in the first two steps, and that the over-parameterization assures an inclusive expansion of the I/O correlation information. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the equivalence.

    IECON 2000: 26TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF THE IEEE INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS SOCIETY, VOLS 1-4, IEEE, 2297-2302, 2000, Peer-reviwed, A PWM power amplifier which constitutes the feedback-control system so that the output voltage supplied to load might be proportional to a reference input is used as amplifier itself or as power supply. Then, a robust PWM power amplifier whose transient response characteristics do not deteriorate. to art extensive load change or direet-current power-supply voltage change is needed. Moreoven, the amplifier output must be made to follow its reference input correctly in the application of an amplifier as a power supply which generates various functions. Therefore the band width of amplifier must be specified, and, at the same time, an over-shoot in a step response is not allowed. In this paper, a method for designing a robust controller of PWM power amplifier is proposed which can satisfy such demands. The controller consititutes an approximate 2-degree-of-freedom integral type servo system. This servo system becomes fully robust against a large load change. Moreover. the controller obtained by this designing method is actually manufactured, and it is shown from an experiment that a sufficiently robust control system is realizable.

However, the parameter adjustment law has the disadvantage that the transient response of the closed loop system has the large overshoot.. In this paper, we try to improve the transient performance by introducing the imaginary axis shifting. Moreover, we apply the adaptive scheme to the position control of DC servomotors.

  • A three-step estimation procedure for the pulse transfer function from the viewpoint of a reductive parameter transformation
    M Mashino; K Nakano
    (SYSID'97): SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION, VOLS 1-3, PERGAMON PRESS LTD, 1387-1392, 1998, Peer-reviwed, The problem is considered of estimating unknown parameters in the pulse transfer function by using estimates of the noise auto-correlation function, from input and output data corrupted by colored noise. The three-step estimation procedure has already been proposed to obtain improved parameter estimates in the final step, by making good use of the extended input/output correlation functions. For quantitatively evaluating this procedure, the reductive parameter transformation from the first step to the final step is introduced. Then, the final parameter estimates hold the good properties of satisfying the minimum error criteria not only for the parameter transformation but also for the bias-compensated least-squares estimation.

    (SYSID'97): SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION, VOLS 1-3, PERGAMON PRESS LTD, 71-76, 1998, Peer-reviwed, Wavelet analysis is used in identifying a continuous-time system with dead time. First, we present a dead-time identification technique by using the wavelet transform of the cross-specta of input/output (I/O) data. Secondly, we present a method for obtaining the frequency response of the system to be considered by directly using the wavelet transform of the auto-/cross-correlation functions of the I/O data. Thirdly, we determine the parameters in the transfer function by using the curve-fitting in the least squares sense. The adventage of our identification procedure is that the estimates of parameters can be obtained separately from the delay-time estimate. Finally: we demonstrate the feasibility and validity of our procedure through experiments with an actual boiler process.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1997 AMERICAN CONTROL CONFERENCE, VOLS 1-6, I E E E, 3674-3678, 1997, Peer-reviwed, The Youla parametrization of all stabilizing compensators consists of a full-order observer-based controller and free parameters in RHinfinity. In this paper, we derive a parametrization of all stabilizing compensators, which has a static output feedback term in the central part, by state-space methods instead of coprime factorization methods. Using the parametrization obtained here, we give a parametrization of stabilizing compensators based on a PID controller and point out that our parametrization based on PID controller can be interpreted as a PID controller with an internal model and a free parameter. Moreover, we design a robustly stabilizer for a closed-loop system implemented a PID controller by selecting an appropriate free parameter.

  • Wavelet analysis approach to identification of systems with dead time - Application to boiler process
    K Nakano; T Tabaru; S Shin; M Satou
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 36TH IEEE CONFERENCE ON DECISION AND CONTROL, VOLS 1-5, IEEE, 3375-3380, 1997, Peer-reviwed, The wavelet analysis is superior to the Fourier analysis in the detectability of temporal (or spatial) information of signals. Therefore, the use of this time-frequency analysis approach makes it possible to estimate such singular points as dead time, and the use of the analyzing wavelet which exists locally in the frequency domain makes it possible to estimate the frequency response of the transfer function. First, we present a dead-time identification technique by using the wavelet transform of the cross-specta of input/output (I/O) data. Secondly, we present a method for obtaining the frequency response of the system to he considered hy directly using the wavelet transform of the auto-/cross-correlation functions of the I/O data. Thirdly, we determine the parameters in the transfer function by using the curve-fitting in the least squares sense, Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility and validity of our identification procedure through experiments for an actual boilerprocess.

(Zero State Response).
    First, we define an ideal transient dynamics. Then we construct a simulator based on physical model of a nonlinear plant, and identify not only parameters but also initial states of state variables. Since we can foresee the dynamics of the nonlinear plant output with information of the. internal states of the nonlinear simulator,an ideal control performance will be achieved by simulator-based controller taking advantage of ZIR and ZSR.

  • An approach of inverse system to model following control, for nonlinear mechanical systems without matching conditions
    K Nakano; Y Yamaguchi; K Wada; Y Toyota
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 1996 IEEE IECON - 22ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS, CONTROL, AND INSTRUMENTATION, VOLS 1-3, IEEE, 1939-1944, 1996, Peer-reviwed, Extensions of the results of the model reference adaptive control (MRAC) to nonlinear systems have been attempted. In particular, design methods of MRAC for nonlinear mechanical systems have been studied with much interest. For this purpose, we propose a design method for model following control(MFC) as a first step toward MRAC for nonlinear mechanical systems affine in the control. First, we consider Hirschorn's algorithm concerning the invertibility of nonlinear control systems. However, it is difficult to apply the algorithm directly to the control objective due to the small number of input channels and no matching conditions. Secondly, we propose an alternative design method for MFC, based on a kind of nonlinear model matching techniques which make it possible to assign any damping characteristics. Thirdly, we consider an example of application to the inverted pendulum to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed control design strategy. Finally, we investigate two extention of-the present method to both the case of modeling error and of non-affine type control.

  • Estimation Procedure for Parameters of Transfer Function by Using Estimates of Auto-correlation Function of Measurement Noise
    増野 貢; 中野和司
    Trans. of the Institute of Systems, Control and Information Engineers, THE INSTITUTE OF SYSTEMS, CONTROL AND INFORMATION ENGINEERS (ISCIE), 5, 6, 221-228, Jun. 1992, This paper considers the problem of estimating the parameters, of the process transfer function G (z-1) by using the estimates of the noise autocorrelation function φv (l), from input data and output data containing colored measurement noise in the single-input/single-output linear discrete system. Based on the correlation analysis (instrumental variable (IV) method), a three-step estimation procedure is proposed, i. e.1st-step : an initial estimation of a transfer function model using N given by input, 2nd-step : an estimation of φv (l), and 3rd-step : a final estimation of parameters from the standpoint of the optimal IV estimation method. In the 2nd-step, the estimation for φv (l) is derived from solving simultaneous equations with relation between input/output correlation functions, G (z-1) and φv (l). Extending the input/output correlation information by selecting a model with higher order than the true order in the 1st-step, better estimates of the parameters of G (z-1) are obtained in the final step. The validity of our estimation procedure is demonstrated by computer simulations.

    IEEJ Transactions on Industry Applications, 111, 3, 221-229, 1991, Peer-reviwed, There have been many approaches in the field of stabilizing control of inverted pendulum system. In many cases, however, linealization technique for small deviation from equilibrium point has been adopted to apply LQ theory or MRACS to the inverted pendulum system. These algorithms are not necessarily satisfactory for a class of non-linear and time-varying systems such as the inverted pendulum system. In this paper, we propose a new MRACS technique with predictor network which is applicable for the non-linear and time-varying system, inverted pendulum system. This predictor-network-based MRACS can also achieve any convergence characteristics. © 1991, The Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan. All rights reserved.

    計測自動制御学会論文集, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 21, 3, 213-219, Mar. 1985, The aim of this paper is to construct an observer for linear multivariable systems with unknown inputs by using the following result: a full order observer converges to a reduced order observer as some poles approach infinity in the left half complex plane. We show that this observer is equivalent to the perfect observer, and investigate a condition to construct it without the divergence of the initial estimation errors. This construction method allows us to clarify the degree of freedom in assigning the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the unknown input observer.

  • スペクトル分解法による検出誤差除去オブザーバの設計
    相良節夫; 松尾孝美; 中野和司
    計測自動制御学会論文集, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 20, 7, 573-578, Jul. 1984, In a deterministic system of which the inputs or outputs are detected with errors, the observer designed without considering the errors does not often give the efficient estimates of the states. Therefore it is necessary to construct the observer which guarantees the efficient estimates notwithstanding the errors.
    Komiya and Furuta defined a bias free observer as the observer effective for the output biases which are governed by the known linear dynamical system with the unknown initial conditions, and designed it by geometric approach. But their method cannot be used in the case of such a more general class of detection errors than the biases as given by outputs of the unknown dynamical system.
    In this paper we propose a design method of the detection error free observer (DEFO) by spectral decompostion approach when the detection errors belonging to C1-class act at the outputs. The necessary and sufficient conditions are given to construct the DEFO for estimating the complete states. Furthermore, the sufficient conditions are presented to construct the DEFO for estimating the partial states. Finally, we show numerical examples of the proposed DEFO.

    相良節夫; 松尾孝美; 中野和司
    計測自動制御学会論文集, The Society of Instrument and Control Engineers, 19, 7, 519-525, Jul. 1983, It is well known that the maximum amplitude of the estimation error of a full order observer becomes extremely large as all the poles approach infinity in the left half complex plane (LHP).
    In this paper we clarify the asymptotic behavior of a full order observer for the case where a part of the poles approach infinity in LHP.
    First, we show that the dimension m of the outputs is equivalent to the number of poles which can approach infinity in LHP without diverging of the initial estimation error. Next, we prove that the full order observer converges to a minimal order observer except the initial state as the m poles tend to infinity in LHP. Finally, we investigate a full order observer estimating a linear function of the state variable under the condition that a part of the poles approach infinity in LHP. The obtained result is considered as an extention of Mita's result under the condition on all the poles.

  • A controller design for nonlinear systems with time-delay using closed-loop step response data
    Yoshihiro Matsui; Hideki Ayano; Shiro Masuda; Kazushi Nakano
    © 2015 IEEE.This paper proposes a controller design method for the Hammerstein models which are linear models with static input nonlinearities and are a kind of nonlinear systems. The method requires only closed-loop step response data for controller design. The information in time domain of the data is used to estimate the plant model, and that in frequency domain is used to confirm the validity of the linear part of the plant model. Since the method estimates the plant model and compensates the nonlinearity of the plant, the controller for the linearized plant can be designed in consideration of the trade-off between the closed-loop bandwidth and the stability margin by a model-based approach., 08 Sep. 2015, 2015 10th Asian Control Conference: Emerging Control Techniques for a Sustainable World, ASCC 2015, 84957655057
  • Closed-loop system identification and controller tuning for constant-value control systems
    Yoshihiro Matsui; Shiro Masuda; Hideki Ayano; Koji Higuchi; Kazushi Nakano
    © 2015 IEEE.A controller design method for constant value control systems has been proposed. The method requires only one-shot experimental data which is obtained from the stabilized closed-loop system when a known zero-mean noise is applied to the output of the plant. The data is used to estimate the plant model by the least square method. The controller is tuned by specifying the stable margin in consideration of the trade-off between the closed-loop bandwidth and the stability margin by a model-based approach in frequency domain. The effectiveness of the method is shown through a numerical example., 17 Aug. 2015, ECTI-CON 2015 - 2015 12th International Conference on Electrical Engineering/Electronics, Computer, Telecommunications and Information Technology, 84956969433

    Sudden cardiac arrest is a major public health problem and Ventricular Fibrillation (VF) is the serious arrhythmic event in most of patients suffering from sudden cardiac arrest. For this serious arrhytmic event, it is well known that the timely employment of an electrical defibrillator may lead to successful results. In this paper, on the basis of Wavelet Transform we analyze electrocardiograms such as sinus rhythm, ventricular fibrillation and so on and discuss an discrimination algorithm for waves which should apply electrical defibrillation., The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, 01 Jul. 2011, IEICE technical report, 111, 121, 81-86, Japanese, 0913-5685, 110008800833, AN1001320X
