This paper focuses on the nonlinear modeling of a tripod type parallel manipulator and the stabilization controller design for base disturbance attenuation. The active tripod is designed to isolate a delicate device, carried by a host vehicle, from the disturbing vibrations coming from the chassis of this host vehicle. For that purpose, a controller is designed and the tripod is used for vibration attenuation as an active suspension system. A detailed simulation model including the nonlinear model of the tripod type parallel manipulator, the models of the stabilization controller, the linear actuators, i.e. the legs of the tripod, the inertial sensors, i.e. the inertial navigation system (INS) on the active platform, and the linear encoder integrated between the moving and stationary parts of the tripod are built and used in the study. This simulation model is used to evaluate the performance of the designed controller for the real-time data acquisitioned from an INS, which is mounted on the vehicle chassis, during a rough off-road cruise of the host vehicle. The data gathered from the vehicle is fed through the simulation model and the performance of the designed controller is examined and discussed under the real conditions of the desired application.

An optimum reference detector design for uncooled microbolometer FPAs
Tepegoz, Murat; Civitci, Fehmi; Akın, Tayfun (2008-03-20)
This paper introduces an optimum reference detector design for uncooled resistive microbolometer focal plane arrays (FPAs). Reference detectors are mainly used for canceling the bias heating and for decreasing the ambient temperature dependence of the system. The proposed method in this paper determines an optimum thermal conductance value for the reference detector such that it is almost infrared blind, but still has the same bias heating characteristics as the active microbolometer detector. Infrared blin...
An SRWNN-based approach on developing a self-learning and self-evolving adaptive control system for motion platforms
Ari, Evrim Onur; Kocaoglan, Erol (2016-02-01)
In this paper, a self-recurrent wavelet neural network (SRWNN)-based indirect adaptive control architecture is modified for performing speed control of a motion platform. The transient behaviour of the original learning algorithm has been improved by modifying the learning rate updates. The contribution of the proposed modification has been verified via both simulations and experiments. Moreover, the performance of the proposed architecture is compared with robust RST designs performed on a similar benchmar...
A nonlinear model for amplifiers with memory
Yuzer, Ahmet Hayrettin; Demir, Şimşek (2010-12-20)
In this study an improved behavioral modeling including even order terms is proposed to model asymmetric IMD components observed in the multi-tone excitation of nonlinear amplifiers. Only odd order model (OOM) and even order introduced model (EOM), proposed model, are constructed and compared for a sample amplifier. It is showed that introducing even order term is improved the model validity range and accuracy in addition to the decrease model polinomial order. © 2010 IEEE.
A method of inverse kinematics solution including singular and multiple configurations for a class of robotic manipulators
Balkan, Raif Tuna; Özgören, Mustafa Kemal; Arıkan, Mehmet Ali Sahir (2000-09-01)
A semi-analytical method and an associated computer program are developed for inverse kinematics solution of a class of robotic manipulators, in which four joint variables are contained in the wrist point equations. For this case, it becomes possible to express all the other joint variables in terms of a selected one. and this reduces the inverse kinematics problem to solving a non-linear scalar equation having the selected joint variable as the only unknown. The solution can be obtained by iterative method...
An improved method of photometric stereo using local shape from shading
Sakarya, U; Erkmen, İsmet (Elsevier BV, 2003-10-01)
This paper presents an improved photometric stereo (PS) method by integrating it with a local shape from shading (SFS) algorithm. PS produces the initial estimate of image for the global accuracy and also provides the recovery of albedo, SFS supplies the more detailed information within each homogeneous area. The quality of depth obtained by integrating PS and SFS is compared with the real depth using absolute dept error function, and the improvement ranging from 2.3 to 14% over PS is obtained.
