New approach to produce special purpose visual aid glasses : a custom designed 5-axis mill
Masteroppgave i mekatronikk MAS500 2011 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad The thesis problem formulation is given by the company ProVista. ProVistas area of expertise is mainly the rehabilitation of visually impaired. This includes research, training of opticians and sale of supporting materials such as glasses with magni cation. The thesis problem is a part of the research to give their customers a better product with much shorter delivery time. Today the customers normally have to wait several weeks to get their visual aid glasses. The reason for this is that the holes are milled manually. With CNC mills existing some decades now, the visual aid community should also bene t from the advan…
LQG Control Design for Balancing an Inverted Pendulum Mobile Robot
Author's version of an article published in the journal: Intelligent Control and Automation. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/ica.2011.22019 The objective of this paper is to design linear quadratic controllers for a system with an inverted pendulum on a mobile robot. To this goal, it has to be determined which control strategy delivers better performance with respect to pendulum’s angle and the robot’s position. The inverted pendulum represents a challenging control problem, since it continually moves toward an uncontrolled state. Simulation study has been done in MATLAB Simulink environment shows that both LQR and LQG are capable to control this system succe…
