Controlling the Motion of a Planar 3-DOF Manipulator Using PID Controllers
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2017, Vol 9, Issue 4
Abstract
This paper mainly presents a method to model the 3-DOF manipulator with PID controller in Matlab-SimMechanics and the way to find out optimal parameters in the PID controller including: proportional gain, integral gain and derivative gain using the genetic algorithm (GA). For that aim, the 3-DOF manipulator will be simulated in order to perform a given task. The results achieved from the model show that difficulties in tuning parameters of PID controller can be solved using GA, while SimMechanics is considered as a good virtual experiment tool for simulating an arbitrary mechanism.

Determination of flow front velocity and optimal injection pressures for better impregnation of E-glass with polyester in resin transfer mold
Flow front velocity of resin plays a key role in yielding better impregnation of fiber reinforcement in resin transfer molding to fabricate quality composites. A video camera was used to capture the patterns of resin flo...
Overload prevention in model supports for wind tunnel model testing
Preventing overloads in wind tunnel model supports is crucial to the integrity of the tested system. Results can only be interpreted as valid if the model support, conventionally called a sting remains sufficiently rigid...
Definition and discussion of the intrinsic efficiency of winglets
Three simple equations are derived to define the “Intrinsic Aerodynamic Efficiency of Winglets” independent of the horizontal extension of the winglet and independent of the winglet’s (relative) height. This Intrinsic Ae...
Experimental validation of Tsai-Wu failure criteria
The paper continues recent research of the authors, consisting in experimental determination of Tsai-Wu failure criteria coefficients as well as criteria validation considering a certain composite. The tested composite,...
Cessna Citation X Business Aircraft Eigenvalue Stability– Part 1: a New GUI for the LFRs Generation
The aim of “Robustness Analysis” is to assess aircraft stability in the presence of all admissible uncertainties. Models that are able to describe the aircraft dynamics by taking into account all uncertainties over a reg...
