Robust Fuzzy Control for Synchronous Machine with Uncertain Parameters

Professor Najat Ouaaline University Hassan 1st, FSTS

Settat, Morocco E-mail: [email protected]

Abstract: This paper is concerned with the robust control problem of the synchronous machine systems with uncertain parameters. The uncertain non-linear model is first represented by a Takagi-Sugeno with several fuzzy IF-THEN rules. Next, based on these a T-S fuzzy model, a simple fuzzy controller is designed via the parallel distributed compensation (PDC) technique to realize the stabilization of our system. The robust stability of the closed-loop synchronous machine system are proved based on Lyapunov criterion, some sufficient conditions are derived and the common Pi is solved by linear matrix inequalities (LMI) toolbox of Matlab, so that the whole closed-loop fuzzy system with the synthesized fuzzy control is asymptotically stable. Furthermore, we also discuss the robustness of the closed loop system with perturbations. Finally, a Simulation results demonstrate that the designed fuzzy controller can stabilize the uncertain synchronous machine system.

Plenary Lecture 2

Bio-Inspired Neuromorphic Processing and Its Applications

Professor Il Song Han Graduate School for Green Transportation

Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Daejeon, Korea

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The physiological studies about visual cortex from the investigation of cat’s striate cortex by Hubel and Wiesel have confirmed the consensus of foundation knowledge about biological intelligence in the nature. We proposed the new way of implementing the neuromorphic VLSI and processing for mimicking the robust biological intelligence of visual detection, inspired by the ideas on the visual cortex and the implementation of neurophysiological neuron model by Hodgkin and Huxley formalism. The neuromorphic synaptic connections and neurons were investigated for implementation of the visual signal selectivity of cortex, based on the controlled CMOS conductance. The feasibility of neuromorphic device and system approximating biological intelligence was demonstrated by the robust detection of human objects or vehicles. The neuromorphic simple cell based on CMOS conductance and Hodgkin-Huxley formalism showed the corresponding spike bursts in the visual cortex. We show how the neuromorphic system can be implemented using the orientation selectivity and the neural computing to detect the human object or other objects under the limited illumination conditions, regardless of using the fixed camera or mobile camera. The early stage investigation demonstrated the feasibility in various applications, such as the intelligent monitoring of vehicle passengers for the extended emergency service of eCall, the automotive active safety system of object detection and avoidance, or the smart user experience by detecting the human behaviour. Our conclusion is that the neuromorphic mimicking of the visual cortex, coupled with neural networks, suggests it as the new feasible and robust device for the convergence of biological neural system and information technology.

Professor M. I. Garcia-Planas Departament de Matematica Aplicada I

Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya Barcelona, Spain

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: In this work we make a detailed look at the algebraic structure of convolutional codes using techniques of linear systems theory. The connection between this concepts help to better understand the properties of convolutional codes, in particular the concepts of controllability and observability of linear systems can be translated into the context of convolutional codes relating these properties with the noncatastrophicity of the codes. I this work examine the output-observability property and we give conditions for this property.

Plenary Lecture 4

Non-Linear Convolution and Harmonic Distortions: The Simulation of Sound Devices

Professor Lamberto Tronchin DIENCA - CIARM

University of Bologna Italy

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The measurement and simulation of audio systems (devices, valve amplifiers, etc.) have been studied by some Authors in recent years. The principal method utilised to obtain information about an audio system is based on the measurement of its impulse response (IR). Once the IR has been caught it is possible to recreate, by the use of linear convolution, the output signal that the audio system will generate when it is physically driven by any input signal. This method gives great results if the system is linear and time-invariant (environments behaviour is much linear and therefore its reverberant effect can be faithfully recreated using IRs) but not satisfactory in other cases, such as the emulation of tube preamps (mainly nonlinear), musical instruments and valve amplifiers. By using Hammerstein or Wiener series it is possible to represent the input-output relationship of nonlinear systems. These two methods could be generalised using Volterra model. It uses a set of impulse responses to describe the system and not only one as before. By an enhanced impulse response measurement method it is possible to obtain this set of impulses and then with Volterra series it would be possible to have the output of the audio system driven by any input. A special numerical tool has been developed to recreate the system behaviour by using this method. Finally, satisfactory results have been obtained in comparison with the traditional linear convolution based approach, and will be shown during the lecture. Brief Biography of the Speaker: Dr Lamberto Tronchin is Associate Professor in Environmental Physics from the University of Bologna and is recognised internationally as a leading authority on the subject of sound and acoustics. A pianist himself, with a diploma in piano from the Conservatory of Reggio Emilia, Dr Tronchin's principal area of research has been musical acoustics, room acoustics and signal processing.

Biologically Inspired Robot Trunks and Tentacles

Professor Ian D. Walker Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering

Fluor Daniel Engineering Innovation Building Clemson University

Clemson, SC USA

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Inspired by biological counterparts, particularly invertebrate structures such as elephant trunks and octopus arms, a new class of smooth profile, scalable, and inherently compliant continuum robots is emerging. This talk will review the state of the art in continuum robots and discuss their potential for novel applications. In particular, lessons learned from the development of a series of robot "trunks and tentacles" over the past fifteen years at Clemson University will be discussed. These robots are able to use their ability to bend throughout their smooth, compliant backbones to adapt to complex environmental geometry better than conventional rigid-link "vertebrate" robots. This allows them to negotiate complex obstacle fields and adjust their shape to manipulate a wide variety of objects. Practical robot designs featuring both intrinsic (within backbone) and extrinsic (external to backbone) actuation, and actuated by pneumatic and electric actuators, will be described. Demonstrations of these robots in novel manipulation application domains will be reviewed. Future directions for continuum robot technology will be discussed. Brief Biography of the Speaker: Ian D. Walker received the B.Sc. Degree (First Class Honours) in Mathematics from the University of Hull, England, in 1983 and the M.S. and Ph.D. Degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 1985 and 1989, respectively.

Abstract: The goal of this research is to modify carbon nanotube synthesis and processing in order to develop a carbon nanotube superfiber material with properties that exceed those of existing fiber materials. Scaling-up superfiber manufacturing for commercialization is also a goal of the research. Superfiber is formed by synthesizing arrays of aligned carbon nanotubes, possibly post-treating the arrays, and possibly spinning the arrays into fibers. The scope of the research is to produce different forms of superfiber including yarn, braid, sheet, and fabric materials. The superior properties and different material forms will open up new parameter spaces and allow designers to develop revolutionary engineering designs across many industry segments. As an example, we predict that eventually most advanced composite materials will have some form of “Nano Inside.” Intense experimental, analytical and computational technical efforts are underway to scale up of the extraordinary properties of nanotubes to the bulk fibrous materials. Prototype macro scale yarns and sheet are being manufactured using nanotubes. But a major technical challenge has been that defects occur during manufacturing of long aligned nanotube arrays. The defects are preventing scaling up the properties of nanotubes to macro scale material forms. To overcome the problem of defects occurring when growing very long nanotubes, new methods including substrate engineering, thermal healing of defects, micro-spinning, and coating are being investigated. This research is crucial because carbon nanotube array synthesis and yarn formation are highly specialized technologies and many industries are standing by on the sidelines waiting for superfiber materials to be developed. Once the technology is available, industries will rush to supplement or replace their incumbent materials such as copper, aluminum, and carbon fiber with superfiber materials that are lighter, tougher, stronger, and carry more electrical current. The research to be described is closing the gap between the properties of short research grade nanotubes and commercial nanotube bulk materials. The basic research is working on transitioning from nanotubes which are long molecules to fiber materials that can be used in manufacturing. The research is providing a better understanding why nanotubes have defects, why nanotubes stop growing, why yarn does not achieve the strength of nanotubes, and how to overcome these barriers. An academic-corporate collaboration has also been formed to transition the new technology into applications. The technology part of the research is to design new spinning and post processing machinery for long nanotubes that allow manufacturing scale up and commercialization. The intellectual novelty of this research is critical in terms of engineering because it will enable industries to manufacture new textile materials which could revolutionize the engineering designs of many everyday products. This research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation in the USA. Dr. Bruce Kramer and Dr. Grace Wang are the Program Directors. Brief Biography of the Speaker: Mark J. Schulz is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering and director with Dr. Vesselin Shanov of the NanoWorld Laboratories at the University of Cincinnati. He is also one of the deputy directors of the National Science Foundation’s Engineering Research Center for Revolutionizing Metallic Biomaterials. Mark’s research focus is in the area of smart materials and nanotechnology. The Nanoworld Laboratories synthesize carbon nanotubes and process the nanotubes into intermediate materials such as yarn and sheet. The intermediate materials are a new kind of structural and electronic “raw material” that is used to build multifunctional and smart materials and devices for engineering and medical use.

Plenary Lecture 9

Nanomechanical Characterization of Biological Cells

Professor Isaac Kuo-Kang Liu School of Engineering University of Warwick

Coventry, UK E-mail: [email protected]

Abstract: It is well recognized that cell mecahnics and adhesion are crucial for maintaining cell functions and their changes are associated with many important physiological/pathological processes. The changes of the cell mechanical properties and cell-cell adhesion can therefore be regarded as a prelude to the pathogenesis of certain diseases. For example, malaria-infected red blood cells (RBCs) have notable alternation in the mechanical properties of cell membrane, while diabatic kidney cells have less cell-cell adhesion than normal one. Recent advancements in nanobiomechanical instruments, such and optical tweezers and by atomic force microscope force spectroscopy (AFM-FS) have enabled the characterization of mechanical poperties and cell-cell adhesion of biological cells. Optical tweezers, often incoperated with micro-fluidic systems, allows to the force measurement as low as 100 pN, while AFM-FS could allow to detect sub-nano-Netwon force. These measurements can be incorporated with mechanical modelling to facilitate the determination of the mechanical properties, such as the elasticity and rupture strength of cell and tissue membrane. In addition to the mechanical properties, interfacial characterization, e.g. cell-cell adhesion, can be realized by our recently developed method which is based on these two techniques. In parallel, various theoretical modelling and simulations, such as the cell mechanics theory and cell-cell adhesion model, have been developed for interpreting the experimental data and for facilitating the determination of the mechanical properties of biological materials at the cellular/molecular level. Various biogical cells, such as red blood cell and mesenchymal stem cells, have been examined by using these new techniques, and their results are presented in this talk. Brief Biography of the Speaker: Dr. Isaac Kuo-Kang Liu completed his PhD study at the Bioengineering and Chemical Engineering Department of Imperial College London, UK in 1995. Currently, he is an Associate Professor (Reader) in Nanobioengineering at School of Engineering, the University of Warwick, UK. Before joining Warwick in 2009, he was a Reader (2003-2009) in Biomedical and Cell Engineering at the Institute of Science and Technology in Medicine, School of Medicine, Keele University, UK and an Associate Professor (1998-2003) in the Mechanical and Production School of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He has published more than 50 high-impact journal papers in Bioengineering and Biophysical areas and 30 other publications, including 2 US patents. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Medicine, a fellow of Nanotechnology Institute, and a senior member of American Institute of Chemical Engineers. He is an editor of several prestigious journals, e.g. Royal Society Interface (Guest Editor). Dr. Liu has been recently awarded one of only seven annual Senior Research Fellowships by Royal Academy of Engineering in recognition of his achievement in nanobiomechanics. He has been invited to give 13 plenary talks in international conferences and many invited lectures in world-renowned institutes such as Cambridge, Oxford, and Max Planck Institute (Stuttgart, Germany).

Plenary Lecture 10

Biomedical Applications of Gold Nanoparticles

Professor Vadim V. Sumbayev Medway School of Pharmacy

University of Kent United Kingdom

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Gold nanoparticles display unique properties which allow them to influence different kinds of biochemical processes. Interestingly, these effects are particle size-dependent and are most likely caused by a particle surface. Gold nanoparticle surface properties as well as their biological effects vary based on their size, which determines the properties of nanomaterial surface. In addition, unlike most of other nanomaterials, gold nanoparticles do not trigger formation of pro-inflammatory multiprotein complexes, known as inflammasomes. Furthermore, they display clear anti-inflammatory activity. Here we discuss biological effects of intact and functionalised gold nanoparticles analysing their possible biochemical mechanisms. Brief Biography of the Speaker: I obtained my PhD degree in Biochemistry in 1999 in Palladin Institute of Biochemistry NAS of UKraine. Then worked as assistant/associate professor at the Department of Biochemistry, Mechnikoff Odessa National University. In 2001 I obtained a highly competitive Humboldt Research Fellowship and moved to Germany (University of Kaiserslautern). Upon completion of my fellowship I spent three years in Aarhus (Denmark) working as assistant professor at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre, University of Aarhus. In December 2006 I joined Medway School of Pharmacy as a lecturer in Biochemistry.
