Smart Motions: Reducing the effect of parameter uncertainties during feedforward control of a robotic manipulator

The performance of a feedforward controller depends on the accuracy of the internal model used for generating the control action. In this research we focus on the influence of parameter uncertainty on the performance of a feedforward controller. A simulation study is performed on a one and two D.O.F. planar robotic arm to improve the open-loop performance given an internal model with parameter uncertainty.BMDBioMechanical EngineeringMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin

A morphological time-scale for rivers

Processes on degradation and aggradation of rivers have a speed depending on the characteristics of the rivers. Starting from the basic equations a morphological timescale, characterising these processes, is defined. This morphological time-scale is estimated for various rivers

Use of models for river problems

In Chapter 2 of this report an overview is given on fluvial processes involved in the modelling discussed. Chapter 3 is concerned with scale models, whilst Chapter 4 deals with numerical models. The main problems treated are, firstly, modelling of the water movement, followed by sediment transport and morphology. Attention is also given to the dispersion of dissolved matter and problems associated with ice. The 'tools' for scale models and numerical models are given only little attention. For scale models the tools are instruments and control systems. For numerical models numerical schemes are involved. A good introduction can be found in Vreugdenhil (1989). In Chapter 5 guidance is given on the selection of the type of model for river problems, though this has to be of a general nature.Hydraulic EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
