The rotary rack S/R system consists of one S/R machine and multiple levels of carousels that can rotate independently in bi-directions. The routing policy, namely the decision on the storage or retrieval sequence, dominates the efficiency and the throughput for such S/R systems, due to the complicated relationship between all levels of carousels and the S/R machine. For the purpose of optimizing the PPS-RRS, a computational model is developed in terms of execution time for picking multiple items in one trip. Characteristics of the PPS-RRS are analyzed and a local search heuristic based on a newly proposed neighborhood is presented. Integrated with the proposed local search procedure a new hybrid genetic algorithm is developed. Experimental results demonstrate the structure characteristics of good sequence and the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed sequencing algorithms.展开更多

The sufficient conditions are obtained, under which there are always state-feedback control and dynamic output-feedback control so that the resulting closed-loop system is internaly stable and L2 input-output stable in the sense of expectation. Furthermore, the explicit formulas of both kinds of controls are derived. An example is included to illustrate the correctness of theoretic results.展开更多

How to effectively control intelligent vehicle (IV) lateral motions is a challenging task. Controller design can be regarded as a process of searching optimal structure from controller structure space and searching optimal parameters from parameter space. Based on this view, an intelligent vehicle lateral motions controller was designed. The controller structure was constructed by T-S fuzzy-neural network (FNN). Its parameters were searched and selected with genetic algorithm (GA). The simulation results indicate that the controller designed has strong robustness, high precision and good ride quality, and it can effectively resolve IV lateral motion non-linearity and time-variant parameters problem.展开更多

Based on the observer designed, the estimates of all observable states of the system are given, and the convergence of the es- timation errors are analyzed. In addition, by using the integrator backstepping approach, an output-feedback stabilization control is constructively designed, and sufficient condi- tions are obtained under which the closed-loop system is asymptotically stable in the large or bounded in probability, respectively.展开更多

First, by using the systems' structural properties, a new observer design method called Augment Plus Feedback is provided and two kinds of observers are obtained: non-adaptive and adaptive ones. Then, based on the obtained observer, H∞ control design is investigated for generalized Hamiltonian systems, and an observer-based control design is proposed. Finally, as an application to power systems, an observer and an observer-based H∞ control law are designed for single-machine infinite-bus systems. Simulations show that both the observer and controller obtained in this paper work very well.展开更多
