Modelling of the FPS for the internal coils and investigating controller discretization effects in TCV

The tokamak in Lausanne, Switzerland (TCV), has been designed to investigate highly elongated plasmas. The elongation improves performance but also introduces a vertical position instability which requires active feedback control to stabilize. The potentia ...

A hybrid control strategy for force and precise end effector positioning of a twisted string actuator

Jamie Paik, Andres San Millan Rodriguez

We propose a new control approach for the twisted string actuation (TSA) system; a hybrid control scheme consisting of two nested loops, considering the motor angle and the axial force at the clamping point of the actuator as the system outputs. We show th ...

Sensitivity to temporal parameters of intraneural tactile sensory feedback

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Edoardo D'Anna

Background Recent studies have shown that neural stimulation can be used to provide artificial sensory feedback to amputees eliciting sensations referred on the amputated hand. The temporal properties of the neural stimulation modulate aspects of evoked se ...

Adaptive Laser Welding Control: A Reinforcement Learning Approach

Silvio Zanoli, Giulio Masinelli

Despite extensive research efforts in the field of laser welding, the imperfect repeatability of the weld quality still represents an open topic. Indeed, the inherent complexity of the underlying physical phenomena prevents the implementation of an effecti ...

Model-based real-time plasma electron density profile estimation and control on ASDEX Upgrade and TCV

Federico Alberto Alfredo Felici, Cristian Galperti

Real-time plasma electron density profile estimation and control are essential in the operation of future tokamaks. In particular, the robustness against diagnostics failure and disturbances is important for long pulse operation. A model-based approach to ...

A data-driven approach to model-reference control with applications to particle accelerator power converters

Alireza Karimi, Achille Nicoletti, Michele Martino

A new model-reference data-driven approach is presented which uses the frequency response data of a system in order to avoid the problem of unmodeled dynamics associated with low-order parametric models. It is shown that a convex optimization problem can b ...
