Experimental results are presented that illustrate a recently developed method for direct output feedback adaptive control. The method permits adaptation to both parametric uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics, and incorporates a novel approach that permits adaptation during periods of control saturation. A controller designed using this method was tested in controlling the pitch axis of a three degrees of freedom helicopter model, using attitude feedback through a low resolution optical sensor. © 2002 by the author(s).

Experimental results on adaptive output feedback control using a laboratory model helicopter
Kutay, Ali Türker; Idan, M; Hovakimyan, N (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005-03-01)
Experimental results are presented that illustrate a recently developed method for adaptive output feedback control. The method permits adaptation to both parametric uncertainty and unmodeled dynamics, and incorporates a novel approach that permits adaptation under known actuator characteristics including actuator dynamics and saturation. Only knowledge of the relative degree of the controlled system within the bandwidth of the control design is required. The controller design was tested by controlling the ...
Experimental evaluation of cable drum systems as linear motion sensors
KILIÇ, ERGİN; Dölen, Melik; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (2011-04-15)
This study evaluates cable-drum mechanisms as linear motion sensors for certain CNC applications. In this work, the dynamical attributes of a generic device are studied experimentally. The conducted research indicates that despite the significant traction force induced between the cable and its drum, small fluctuations in mechanism's speed yields a considerable (micro) slip at the interface.
Active surface passivation for SWIR InGaAs photodetectors
Necati, Işık; Kocaman, Serdar; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2022-1)
This thesis work offers a new method for improving one of the performance parameters in infrared photodetector technology. This method involves suppressing the surface dark current by utilizing a constant E-field on the surface of the photodetector. By interrupting the channel formation on the surface, a significant improvement in the generation-recombination (GR) dark current component is observed. Relatively minor improvements on differential resistance and the shunt component of the dark current are note...
Investigation of effect of design and operating parameters on acoustophoretic particle separation via 3D device-level simulations
Sahin, Mehmet Akif; ÇETİN, BARBAROS; Özer, Mehmet Bülent (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-16)
In the present study, a 3D device-level numerical model is implemented via finite element method to assess the effects of design and operating parameters on the separation performance of a microscale acoustofluidic device. Elastodynamic equations together with electromechanical coupling at the piezoelectric actuators for the stress field within the solid parts, Helmholtz equation for the acoustic field within fluid, and Navier-Stokes equations for the fluid flow are coupled for the simulations. Once the zer...
Experimental Evaluation of Robustness of Panel-Method-Based Path Planning for Urban Air Mobility
Ünal, Zeynep; Bronz, Murat; Yavrucuk, İlkay (2022-01-01)
In this study, robustness of panel method based path planning algorithm under wind disturbances is evaluated experimentally. Panel method, borrowed from fluid dynamics domain, is a numeric tool for calculating the potential field around arbitrarily shaped objects. Resultant potential field can be used for generating collision free trajectories for uncrewed aerial vehicles with convergence guarantee. Robustness of the proposed method is demonstrated during indoor experiments with a wind generator creating wi...
