Unlike the studies in the literature utilizing pre-generated paths for tracking circular trajectories by mobile robots, in this study the circling around a target problem is considered as a periodic system problem and the states in the system kinematics are forced to converge to periodical trajectories. We propose controllers for the circling around a target behavior of mobile robots developed by static and dynamic feedback linearization techniques. We derive the conditions on the underdamped and overdamped stable responses of the systems and present corresponding simulation results for each case.

A Survey on Tactical Control Algorithms for Path Tracking Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Kumru, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-11-15)
In this study, a survey on control allocation algorithms in tactical level control for path tracking unmanned surface vehicles (USV) is conducted. The strategic goal in the path tracking problem is to assist navigation solution of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). USV with the help of its onboard acoustic sensors, tracks UUV according to constant bearing guidance rule. The survey on tactical controllers comprises comparisons of tracking performances of USVs under proportional-integral-derivative, pole p...
Implementation of turbulence models on 2d hybrid grids using an explicit/implicit multigrid algorithm
Yılmaz, Ali Emre; Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2011)
In this thesis study, implementation, numerical stability and convergence rate issues of turbulence modeling are explored. For this purpose, a one equation turbulence model, Spalart-Allmaras, and a two-equation turbulence model, SST k-w, are adapted to an explicit, cell centered, finite volume method based, structured / hybrid multi grid flow solver, SENSE2D, developed at TUBITAK-SAGE. Governing equations for both the flow and the turbulence are solved in a loosely coupled manner, however, each set of equat...
Control of a differentially driven mobile robot using radial basis function based neural networks
Bayar, Gökhan; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Buǧra Koku, A. (2008-12-01)
This paper proposes the use of radial basis function neural networks approach to the solution of a mobile robot orientation adjustment using reinforcement learning. In order to control the orientation of the mobile robot, a neural network control system has been constructed and implemented. Neural controller has been charged to enhance the control system by adding some degrees of award. Making use of the potential of neural networks to learn the relationships, the desired reference orientation and the error...
STABILITY OF CONTROL FORCES IN REDUNDANT MULTIBODY SYSTEMS
IDER, SK (1996-01-03)
In this paper inverse dynamics of redundant multibody systems using a minimum number of control forces is formulated. It is shown that the control forces and the task accelerations may become noncausal at certain configurations, yielding the dynamical equation set of the system to be singular. For a given set of tasks, each different set of actuators leads to a different system motion and also to different singular configurations. To avoid the singularities in the numerical solution, the dynamical equations...
Computation of radar cross sections of complex targets by shooting and bouncing ray method
Özgün, Salim; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this study, a MATLAB® code based on the Shooting and Bouncing Ray (SBR) algorithm is developed to compute the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of complex targets. SBR is based on ray tracing and combine Geometric Optics (GO) and Physical Optics (PO) approaches to compute the RCS of arbitrary scatterers. The presented algorithm is examined in two parts; the first part addresses a new aperture selection strategy named as “conformal aperture”, which is proposed and formulated to increase the performance of the cod...
