Abstract: In the paper a decentralized control for active magnetic bearings is discussed. For the numerical evaluation of different control algorithms a mathematical model of the controlled plant is determined. For this reason basic characteristics and fundamental operation principle of magnetic levitation as well mathematical model of the rigid shaft are presented. Modern control systems for magnetic levitations are discussed. The majority of industrial applications of active magnetic bearings were still based on conventional PID control system. The control system design is presented as rule based procedure. The sensitivity of control system on supplementary dynamics, parameter variations and measurement noise is analyzed. The active magnetic bearing laboratory system is shown. The obtained simulation and experimental results are compared.

Abstract: The main contribution of this paper is a robust and precise position control method based on sliding mode for a pneumatic cylinder. The controller is implemented on a DSP system. The main challenge is the higher accuracy than 10 µm, which can be ensured with wide range of variation of the load (disturbance) and pressure in the entire operation area. The paper describes the nonlinear model of the pneumatic cylinder and the three main design steps of the proposed control method, namely sliding surface design, control law selection and chattering free implementation. Finally, it presents experimental results.

 
   Software Agents Society for the Surveillance and Control of a Hydroelectric Power Plant Chain

Abstract: The paper presents a software agents society, which implements a more efficient control and monitoring system for a complex heterogeneous system – multiple hydroelectric power plants connected in a chain on Some�� River. The agent society can be superimposed over the existing SCADA control and monitoring network and aims to increase performance, efficiency and stability in the existing control and monitoring system.

 
   Task Preservation of Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Motion using Interaction Mode Control

Abstract: Recently, skill preservation of an expert and skill training have been a serious problem of the medical or production fields. This paper proposes a task preservation and reproduction of multi-degree-of-freedom motion using interaction mode control based on bilateral motion control. The proposed task preservation system is composed of two modes; acquisition mode and reproduction mode. In the acquisition mode, the control system is based on bilateral control. Since a touching motion is subject to the “law of action and reaction”, it is possible to decompose force information into action force and reaction force by using the bilateral control. Furthermore, human motion is acquired in decoupled modal space by using the mode quarry matrix. The decoupled modes correspond to “moving”, “yawing”, “grasping” tasks, and so on. Thus the multi-degree-offreedom motion by a human is easily obtained and analyzed in the modal space. In the reproduction mode, the acquired human motion is reproduced in the modal space by using the interaction mode control. The proposed task preservation system is applied for grasping motion by three fingers. The experimental results show viability of the proposed method.
