Nonlinear programming control using differential aerodynamic drag for CubeSat formation flying Article

Sheng-chao DENG, Tao MENG, Zhong-he JIN

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2017, Volume 18, Issue 7,   Pages 867-881 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1500493

Abstract: Because of their volume and power limitation, it is difficult for CubeSats to configure a traditional propulsion system. Atmospheric drag is one of the space environmental forces that low-orbit satellites can use to realize orbit adjustment. This paper presents an integrated control strategy to achieve the desired in-track formation through the atmospheric drag difference, which will be used on ZJUCubeSat, the next pico-satellite of Zhejiang University and one of the participants of the international QB50 project. The primary mission of the QB50 project is to explore the near-Earth thermosphere and ionosphere at the orbital height of 90–300 km. Atmospheric drag cannot be ignored and has a major impact on both attitude and orbit of the satellite at this low orbital height. We conduct aerodynamics analysis and design a multidimensional nonlinear constraint programming (MNLP) strategy to calculate different desired area–mass ratios and corresponding hold times for orbit adjustment, taking both the semimajor axis and eccentricity into account. In addition, area–mass ratio adjustment is achieved by pitch attitude maneuver without any deployable mechanism or corresponding control. Numerical simulation based on ZJUCubeSat verifies the feasibility and advantage of this design.

Zero-failure accelerated reliability demonstration test method based on degradation model

Zhang Huirui

Strategic Study of CAE 2015, Volume 17, Issue 5,   Pages 31-37

Abstract:

Traditional life demonstration test is conducted under normal conditions and fails to use degradation observations,thus requires large amount of time and money. We can employ degradation data to predict whether a unit will pass the test by the end of test,and the test can be terminated early when this prediction does not cost unacceptable risk. Also higher stress can accelerate the degradation of the unit to cut down the test time. Thus it is necessary to propose a method that take advantage of both degradation data and accelerated test to reduce the test time and cost,which is done by this article. In particular,the article propose an approach to analyses and calculate the additional risks caused by early termination of the test and applying higher stress based on degradation model,then the minimum sample size of different test time can be picked. The article also use optimal plan to give expected test time and give deciding rules of terminating the test for each unit. At last,the method is illustrated by an example, showing that the method is efficient in reducing test time.

Robust global route planning for an autonomous underwater vehicle in a stochastic environment Research Article

Jiaxin ZHANG, Meiqin LIU, Senlin ZHANG, Ronghao ZHENG

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2022, Volume 23, Issue 11,   Pages 1658-1672 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2200026

Abstract:

This paper describes a route planner that enables an to selectively complete part of the predetermined tasks in the operating ocean area when the local path cost is stochastic. The problem is formulated as a variant of the . Based on the (GA), we propose the greedy strategy based GA (GGA) which includes a novel rebirth operator that maps infeasible individuals into the feasible solution space during evolution to improve the efficiency of the optimization, and use a differential evolution planner for providing the deterministic local path cost. The uncertainty of the local path cost comes from unpredictable obstacles, measurement error, and trajectory tracking error. To improve the robustness of the planner in an uncertain environment, a sampling strategy for path evaluation is designed, and the cost of a certain route is obtained by multiple sampling from the probability density functions of local paths. Monte Carlo simulations are used to verify the superiority and effectiveness of the planner. The promising simulation results show that the proposed GGA outperforms its counterparts by 4.7%–24.6% in terms of total profit, and the sampling-based GGA route planner (S-GGARP) improves the average profit by 5.5% compared to the GGA route planner (GGARP).

Wang Sunan,Wu Canyang

Strategic Study of CAE 2013, Volume 15, Issue 1,   Pages 73-78

Abstract:

To solve the path planning problem of mobile robots in complicated environments, combining the small computational amount of artificial potential field and the adaptive regulation ability of artificial immune network, an improved immunity path planning algorithm is presented. To further improve the search ability and convergence of immune network, the planning results of artificial potential field are taken as the prior knowledge to construct the guidance weight, and the antibody instruction definition and distance changes after the antibody transition are taken as the variables to construct the antibody transmission probability operator. Compared with the correlative planning algorithms, simulation results indicate that the optimal planning ability and network convergence of proposed algorithm is highly improved.

A surrogate-based optimization algorithm for network design problems Article

Meng LI, Xi LIN, Xi-qun CHEN

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2017, Volume 18, Issue 11,   Pages 1693-1704 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1601403

Abstract: Network design problems (NDPs) have long been regarded as one of the most challenging problems in the field of transportation planning due to the intrinsic non-convexity of their bi-level programming form. Furthermore, a mixture of continuous/discrete decision variables makes the mixed network design problem (MNDP) more complicated and difficult to solve. We adopt a surrogate-based optimization (SBO) framework to solve three featured categories of NDPs (continuous, discrete, and mixed-integer). We prove that the method is asymptotically completely convergent when solving continuous NDPs, guaranteeing a global optimum with probability one through an indefinitely long run. To demonstrate the practical performance of the proposed framework, numerical examples are provided to compare SBO with some existing solving algorithms and other heuristics in the literature for NDP. The results show that SBO is one of the best algorithms in terms of both accuracy and efficiency, and it is efficient for solving large-scale problems with more than 20 decision variables. The SBO approach presented in this paper is a general algorithm of solving other optimization problems in the transportation field.

Robot Pilot: A New Autonomous System Toward Flying Manned Aerial Vehicles Article

Zibo Jin, Daochun Li, Jinwu Xiang

Engineering 2023, Volume 27, Issue 8,   Pages 242-253 doi: 10.1016/j.eng.2022.10.018

Abstract:

The robot pilot is a new concept of a robot system that pilots a manned aircraft, thereby forming a new type of unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that makes full use of the platform maturity, load capacity, and airworthiness of existing manned aircraft while greatly expanding the operation and application fields of UASs. In this research, the implementation and advantages of the robot pilot concept are discussed in
detail, and a helicopter robot pilot is proposed to fly manned helicopters. The robot manipulators are designed according to the handling characteristics of the helicopter-controlling mechanism. Based on a kinematic analysis of the robot manipulators, a direct-driving method is established for the robot flight controller to reduce the time delay and control error of the robot servo process. A supporting ground station
is built to realize different flight modes and the functional integration of the robot pilot. Finally, a prototype of the helicopter robot pilot is processed and installed in a helicopter to carry out flight tests. The test results show that the robot pilot can independently fly the helicopter to realize forward flight, backward flight, side flight, and turning flight, which verifies the effectiveness of the helicopter robot pilot.

Efficient Configuration Space Construction and Optimization for Motion Planning Article

Jia Pan, Dinesh Manocha

Engineering 2015, Volume 1, Issue 1,   Pages 46-57 doi: 10.15302/J-ENG-2015009

Abstract:

The configuration space is a fundamental concept that is widely used in algorithmic robotics. Many applications in robotics, computer-aided design, and related areas can be reduced to computational problems in terms of configuration spaces. In this paper, we survey some of our recent work on solving two important challenges related to configuration spaces: ① how to efficiently compute an approximate representation of high-dimensional configuration spaces; and ② how to efficiently perform geometric proximity and motion planning queries in high-dimensional configuration spaces. We present new configuration space construction algorithms based on machine learning and geometric approximation techniques. These algorithms perform collision queries on many configuration samples. The collision query results are used to compute an approximate representation for the configuration space, which quickly converges to the exact configuration space. We also present parallel GPU-based algorithms to accelerate the performance of optimization and search computations in configuration spaces. In particular, we design efficient GPU-based parallel k-nearest neighbor and parallel collision detection algorithms and use these algorithms to accelerate motion planning.

A-STC: auction-based spanning tree coverage algorithm formotion planning of cooperative robots Research Article

Guan-qiang GAO, Bin XIN

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2019, Volume 20, Issue 1,   Pages 18-31 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.1800551

Abstract:

The multi-robot coverage motion planning (MCMP) problem in which every reachable area must be covered is common in multi-robot systems. To deal with the MCMP problem, we propose an efficient, complete, and off-line algorithm, named the “auction-based spanning tree coverage (A-STC)” algorithm. First, the configuration space is divided into mega cells whose size is twice the minimum coverage range of a robot. Based on connection relationships among mega cells, a graph structure can be obtained. A robot that circumnavigates a spanning tree of the graph can generate a coverage trajectory. Then, the proposed algorithm adopts an auction mechanism to construct one spanning tree for each robot. In this mechanism, an auctioneer robot chooses a suitable vertex of the graph as an auction item from neighboring vertexes of its spanning tree by heuristic rules. A bidder robot submits a proper bid to the auctioneer according to the auction vertexes’ relationships with the spanning tree of the robot and the estimated length of its trajectory. The estimated length is calculated based on vertexes and edges in the spanning tree. The bidder with the highest bid is selected as a winner to reduce the makespan of the coverage task. After auction processes, acceptable coverage trajectories can be planned rapidly. Computational experiments validate the effectiveness of the proposed MCMP algorithm and the method for estimating trajectory lengths. The proposed algorithm is also compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms. The comparative results show that the A-STC algorithm has apparent advantages in terms of the running time and the makespan for large crowded configuration spaces.

Lateral Vibration Analyses of Flying Vehicle under Thrust and Drag

Song Jian

Strategic Study of CAE 2000, Volume 2, Issue 10,   Pages 63-72

Abstract:

In this paper, the influence of thrust and air drag on rocket lateral vibration is studied, and the frequency reduction under the thrust and drag is analyzed. The formulas for evaluation of the changes of frequencies and vibration modes are obtained. The equations of transverse movement when nozzle connected rigidly with rocket and related boundary conditions form the basis for analyses. The conclusions obtained are applicable for active accelerating and passive decelerating parts of trajectory as well as the cruise flight when thrust and drag are balanced. The analyses show that for small thrust and small axial overload, the discrepancy resulted from different calculation methods is not big, whereas for the heavy overloaded case a more accurate solution is extremely necessary.

Frontiers of Information Technology & Electronic Engineering 2023, Volume 24, Issue 4,   Pages 536-552 doi: 10.1631/FITEE.2200353

Abstract: In many robot operation scenarios, the end-effector’s of movement are indispensable for the task process, such as robotic welding, spraying, handling, and stacking. Meanwhile, the inverse kinematics, collision detection, and space search are involved in the procedure under , making it difficult to achieve satisfactory efficiency and effectiveness in practice. To address these problems, we propose a distributed variable density method with (DVDP-AC) for . First, a position– reconstruction (PACR) approach is proposed in the inverse kinematic solution. Then, the (DSDF) model with single-step safety sphere (SSS) is designed to improve the efficiency of collision detection. Based on this, the variable density path search method is adopted in the Cartesian space. Furthermore, a novel forward sequential (FSPS) approach is proposed to adaptively eliminate redundant path points considering path accessibility. Finally, experimental results verify the performance and effectiveness of the proposed DVDP-AC method under end-effector’s , and its characteristics and advantages are demonstrated by comparison with current mainstream methods.
