Adaptive output feedback control of nonlinear systems
Zhu, Yongliang (2004-12) -
Disk drive actuator design and control for robust non-operational shock performance
Ratliff, Ryan Todd (2005-12)As disk drives become more of a commodity based product, quality and cost control have become top industry priorities. Disk drive manufacturers are now heavily focused on efforts to reduce costs while maintaining quality ... -
Genetic Algorithm Design for Constrained Optimization
Venkatraman, Sangameswar (2004-07-01) -
Job Shop Optimization Through Multiple Independent Particle Swarms
Ivers, Brian (Oklahoma State University, 2006-12-01)This study examines the optimization of the Job Shop Problem (JSP) by a search space division scheme and use of the meta-heuristic method of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) to solve it. The JSP is a well known combinatorial ... -
Magnetic Field-based Navigation of a Mobile Robot
Cole, Scott Bryan (Oklahoma State University, 2005-05-01)This thesis explores a unique system and method to control the position of a remote vehicle. A handheld cylindrical transmitter generates an alternating dipole field at a specific frequency. A self-contained robot utilizes ... -
Model predictive control of nonholonomic mobile robots
Xie, Feng (2007-12)In this work, we investigate the possibility of using model predictive control (MPC) for the motion coordination of nonholonomic mobile robots. The contributions of this dissertation can be summarized as follows. A robust ... -
Modeling the effects of belt compliance, backlash, and slip on web tension and new methods for decentralized control of web processing lines
Dwivedula, Ramamurthy V. (2005-12)Scope and Method of Study: Non-ideal behavior of web process lines and new methods for regulation of web tension and web velocity are investigated. The non-ideal behavior considered includes the compliance and backlash in ... -
Multi-vehicle Framework for the Development of Robotic Games: the Marco Polo Case
Perteet, Brent (Oklahoma State University, 2007-05-01)This thesis presents a multi-vehicle platform and framework for robotics education and research. The framework has been designed primarily as a tool for teaching children about engineering in general and robotics in ... -
Supervised fault tolerant control architecture for nonlinear systems
de Lima, Pedro Gerbase (2005-12)Scope: The growing complexity of physical plants and control missions inevitably leads to increasing occurrence, diversity and severity of faults. Availability, defined as the probability that a system or equipment will ... -
Vision-based control of multi-agent systems
Orqueda, Omar Armando Adrian (2006-12)Scope and Methodology of Study: Creating systems with multiple autonomous vehicles places severe demands on the design of decision-making supervisors, cooperative control schemes, and communication strategies. In last ...
