Modeling and control of a DC upset resistance butt welding process

This paper presents the analysis and synthesis of modeling and control of the DC upset resistance butt welding process used in rim production lines. A new control strategy is developed, enabling active control of the welding seam temperature and the upset size. As a result, set-up times and energy consumption are reduced significantly

Hypotheses based multi-object tracking in the RoboCup MidSize league

One of the main challenges in the RoboCupMidSize league is to create a global view, or world model, of peer and opponent players in the game environment. This view is essential for strategic gameplay and global path planning. In this paper the team of TechUnited Eindhoven describes their solution to this issue. Ego and omnivision object measurements are shared amongst peer players. Each peer individually processes the measurements according to an hypotheses based sequential clustering algorithm. For each cluster Kalman observers are initiated from which an estimated position and velocity can be derived. This paper describes the first world model design known in the MidSize league that includes dynamics and labeling of peer and opponent players

Planar feature-based motion control for near-repetitive structures

This paper focuses on the motion control for machines used for the production of products that inherently consist of equal features placed in a repetitive pattern. In many cases the repetitiveness of these structures is prone to imperfections, for example due to thermal expansion, such that the distance between successive features deviates. As a consequence the metric positions of the features of such near-repetitive structures are unknown a priori such that setpoints cannot be created a priori. The considered motion task in this paper is to position a tool relative to the features of a near-repetitive structure with an accuracy of View the MathML source. Instead of metric positions novel two-dimensional feature-based positions will be used that are obtained from a camera capturing images at 1 kHz for feedback, resulting in a direct visual servoing control approach. The robustness with respect to imperfections in the repetitiveness is investigated and the design is validated on an experimental setup
