Komagine Yu, Toyota Ryo, Kotani Kento, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 2017 56th Annual Conference of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan (SICE),

2017.11

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a robust formation control methodology for the Multi-UAV system with uncertain exogenous disturbance. The fourth-order UAV model with disturbance and the disturbance estimate system is introduced. In order to achieve the rigid formation fight, graph theory and consensus algorithm are utilized and the state of the UAVs converges to desired value by using Leader-Follower structure. The proposed control law includes the Robust Integral of the Sign of error (RISE) for estimation of the disturbance and also involves collision avoidance property based on potential method. The stability and convergent properties are proven based on Lyapunov theory. Finally, several simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed method compared with a conventional sliding mode control.

Formation control of multi-agent system considering obstacle avoidance

Toyota Ryo, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 2017 56th Annual Conference of the Society of Instrument and Control Engineers of Japan (SICE),

2017.11

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with distributed and cooperative control algorithm to make each agents to form a formation for a second-order system. However, when forming a formation with a multi-agent system, there is a possibility that the agents collide with each other or collide with obstacles other than the agent. Also, if the agents avoid other agents and obstacles, the distance between agents may be temporarily too far apart. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a control algorithm which consists of Leader-Follower structure, consensus algorithm and artificial force based on artificial potential field. For the control algorithm to make agents achieve formation in a decentralized cooperative way, we derive the condition concerning the control gain to ensure stability. In addition, by comparing the amount of energy, we design conditions that ensure collision avoidance between agents, collision avoidance with obstacles, and distance between agents, and also design potential functions that satisfy the conditions. The validity of the control algorithm proposed in this paper is verified by numerical simulations.

Collision Avoidance between Multi-UAV-Systems considering Formation Control using MPC

Ille Marc, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 2017 IEEE International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics (AIM),

2017.08

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with the scenario of two multi- UAV systems (so-called teams), each flying from a starting point to a target point. The teams meet on their ways and have to avoid collisions in the horizontal plane. Both teams work independent of each other but use the same formationcontrol and obstacle-collision-avoidance algorithm. The leaders measure obstacles' positions, use a Kalman Filter to estimate their movement and predict their future positions. With the information about the other agents' positions each agent calculates its reference trajectory. The leader also computes a trajectory to guide the team towards the target point. Distributed MPC is used for each agent to track its reference trajectory. If there is a risk of colliding with an obstacle, the MPC cost function is extended by a penalty term to ensure obstacle collision avoidance. The stability of formation control is proved in this paper. The capability of two teams avoiding collisions is shown in a simulation.

RISE-based cooperative control of uncertain multi-agent system

Tachibana Yoshihiro, Namerikawa Toru

2017 American Control Conference (ACC),

2017.06

This paper proposes a RISE-based cooperative control of uncertain multi-agent system with exogenous disturbances. First, we introduce the second order model with disturbance for agent. The network topology among agents is undirected and connected, and information of reference is allowed to be available to at least one agent. Second, we propose the control law consists of graph theory, consensus algorithm and RISE. Graph theory and consensus algorithm are utilized to converge the states of agents to reference value, and RISE is utilized to suppress the disturbance. Then, we show the proposed control law guarantees the agents achieve synchronization, and derive the condition to achieve the control objective. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control law.

Detection of replay attack on smart grid with code signal and bargaining game

Irita Takashi, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 2017 American Control Conference (ACC),

2017.06

Oral presentation (general)

Ensuring cyber security of smart grid based on supervisory control and data acquisition using information and communications technology has been becoming a major challenge. Especially, a replay attack is a dangerous cyber attack affecting integrity and authorization. The goal of this paper is to detect replay attack that is one of cyber attacks on the sensors of a control system. We propose a detecting method adding intentional noise to not only sensors as code signal but also input. Replay attack can immediately be reflected by using fault diagnosis matrices that are composed of the estimator and observed values even if code signal is decrypted. Finally, we show simulation results to analyze effectiveness of the proposed method.

Transient dynamics of heterogeneous micro grids using second order consensus

Mendoza Fernando Genis, Bauso Dario, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 2017 International Conference on Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications (WINCOM),

2017.01

Oral presentation (invited, special)

This paper deals with a network of interconnected micro grids. The transient dynamics is modelled as an averaging process involving dynamic agents in a network. An analysis of the convergence of the consensus dynamics is provided using a network model based approach and by exploiting the properties of the corresponding graph-Laplacian matrix. Furthermore an investigation of the transient dynamics is carried out for different damping and inertial parameters and under different timevarying topologies. Finally a simulation is performed based on a model calibrated on an existing network in the UK under parameter uncertainties.

Optimal Power Demand Management among Consumers with Aggregator considering State and Control Constraints

Yoshihiro Okawa and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] 2016 IEEE 55th Conference on Decision and Control (CDC) ARIA Resort & Casino (Las Vegas, USA) ,

2016.12

Oral presentation (general)

This paper presents a novel optimal power demandmanagementmethodforpowerconsumerswithanaggregator considering state and control constraints. The aggregator is an organization who manages some consumers to achieve demand response efﬁciently. This paper proposes a power demand adjustment method for the aggregator to allocate power reduction among consumers in a distributed manner. Speciﬁcally, this method simultaneously derives the optimal power reduction of each consumer using a gradient method and determines the control inputs by solving a quadratic programming problem with state and input constraint conditions. This paper also shows the convergence of the proposed algorithm, and ﬁnally, numerical simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Shady A. Maged, A. A. Abouelsoud, Ahmed M. R. Fath El Bab and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] Proceedings of the SICE Annual Conference 2016 (つくば市) ,

2016.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper presents the estimation of both position and velocity of Stewart Manipulator by means of limbs potentiometer measurements and MEMS inertial sensors. The estimation used the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and H∞ optimal filtering technique based on the combination of these sensors. The two types of filters are used as nonlinear state estimators to the Stewart platform which is modeled as a stochastic differential equations due to measurement noise in case of EKF and as a continuous time system model in case of H∞ filtering technique. The results of the both filters are compared with each other on the Stewart platform DELTALAB EX800 using MATLAB SimMechanics toolbox. The simulation results show that Kalman filters are not the best choice for parallel manipulator state estimation as they bear from the hypothesis of statistical noise with zero mean as well as known noise covariance, which may reduce its performance. For these reasons, H∞ filter may be the alternative of Kalman filter.

Ahmed Khalifa, Mohamed Fanni and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] Proceedings of the SICE Annual Conference 2016,

2016.09

Oral presentation (general)

Recently, the Aerial Manipulation System becomes very attractive for a wide range of applications due to its unique features. However, control of such system is quite challenging. One of the critical challenge is that this system is verysusceptibletoactuators’faults. Inthispaper,aPassiveFaultTolerantControlSystemisproposedtoaddressthisissue withrobustandoptimalperformance. TherobustnessisachievedusingalinearDisturbanceObserver(DOb)loop. Based on the linearization capability of DOb, a standard Model Predictive Control (MPC) is then used and the resulting control scheme is characterized by both a low computational load and optimal actuators’ efforts with respect to conventional nonlinear robust solutions. This controller is tested to achieve the tracking of a point-to-point task space references under the effect of actuators’ faults, picking/releasing a payload, changing the operating region, and measurement noise. Efﬁcacy of the proposed technique is veriﬁed via numerical simulations.

SLAM for a Small UAV with Compensation for Unordinary Observations and Convergence Analysis

Takumi Shinohara and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] Proceedings of the SICE Annual Conference 2016,

2016.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem for a small Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) via extended Kalman Filter (EKF) with compensations for unordinary observations. In the SLAM problem, a robot sometimes loses its proper observations then the estimation accuracy deteriorates. In this paper, to remove the effects of unordinary observations, we propose a novel SLAM method considering unordinary observation based on Mahalanobis distance. The proposed method detects the unordinary observations by comparing the observation values with its estimation and determines the weight of these observations. The convergence of the state error covariance matrix is proven. In experimental validation, we show that the UAV state and environment information can be estimated with the proposed method.

Yasuhiro Hayashi1 and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] Proceedings of the SICE Annual Conference 2016,

2016.09

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, a ﬂocking control algorithm for multiple nonholonomic cars is proposed. First, it is shown that the nonholonomic car is linearized by using a virtual vehicle. Second, we deﬁne a metric and topological neighborhood set in order to decide which cars to be next to the other car. Control objectives consist of three rules in boids model as separation, alignment, and cohesion, which is a well-known framework of emerging ﬂock, advocated by Reynolds in 1986. Using the neighborhood set, we show the formation of ﬂocking corresponds to the model. These cars are supposed tobeonastraighthighway,whichenablesustosetanassumptionthateachcarheadstothesamedirectionandreachesthe same velocity eventually. The input for a car consists of the artiﬁcial potential method and LaSalle’s invariance principle is utilized to prove the convergence of the entire vehicle system. Finally, the effectiveness of the presented method is examined through simulation.

SoC regulator and DOB-based Load Frequency Control of a Microgrid by Coordination of Diesel Generator and Battery Storage

Takuto Hiranaka, Hyungbo Shim, and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] 2016 IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA) Part of 2016 IEEE Multi-Conference on Systems and Control (Buenos Aires, Argentina) ,

2016.09

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, the load-frequency control problem of microgrid is discussed. The control is applied to maintain a balance between electric-power demand and supply by controlling the outputs of generators in power systems. However, because of the large-scale introduction of energy from renewable-energy sources, it has become more difﬁcult to maintain this balance. To solve this problem, we consider introducing batteries to microgrid. Therefore, we focus on a microgrid that comprises wind-turbine generators, loads, diesel generators, and batteries. First, we design a generalized plant including the diesel generators and batteries. Then, we apply disturbance observer to decide a reference input to diesel generators and batteries. And, we split the reference input into that for diesel generators and that for batteries considering the differences in the response speeds by applying low-pass ﬁlter. Furthermore, we apply SoC regulator for the state of charge of batteries reaching maximum capacity or minimum capacity. Finally, we perform numerical simulations to verify that the control method can suppress the frequency deviations and deviations in the residual capacity of the battery.

Hybrid Acceleration/Velocity-based Disturbance Observer for a Quadrotor Manipulation System

Ahmed Khalifa, Mohamed Fanni and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] 2016 IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA) Part of 2016 IEEE Multi-Conference on Systems and Control (Buenos Aires, Argentina) ,

2016.09

Oral presentation (general)

Aerial manipulation systems become very attractive for a wide range of applications due to their unique features. However, control of such system is quite challenging due to its high nonlinearities, couplings, and external disturbances. In this paper, a Disturbance Observer (DOb)-based linearization of a quadrotor manipulation system is utilized. The DOb estimates the disturbances and nonlinearities, then compensates them such that one can treat the control problem based on a simple linear control algorithm. However, the current developed DOb schemes in the literature are based on the precise measurement of the acceleration or the estimation of the velocity. Unlike, these methods, we propose a modiﬁed DOb, which is based on both the measured linear accelerations and angular velocities that can be obtained directly from the onboard Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) and encoders. With this technique, the estimation of nonlinearities and disturbances are carried out without the need of estimation acceleration or velocity, and it is model free. The Effectiveness of the proposed technique is veriﬁed via numerical simulations.

MPC and DOb-based Robust Optimal Control of a New Quadrotor Manipulation System

Ahmed Khalifa, Mohamed Fanni and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] 2016 European Control Conference,

2016.06

Oral presentation (general)

This paper introduces motion control scheme of a new aerial manipulation system that consists of 2-link manipulator attached to the bottom of a quadrotor. This new system presents a solution for the limitations found in the current quadrotor manipulation systems. It is very attractive for a wide range of applications due to their unique features. However, control of such system is quite challenging because it is naturally unstable, has strong nonlinearities and couplings, has fast dynamics, is very susceptible to parameters variations due to carrying a payload besides the external disturbances like wind, and has actuator limitations. A robust optimal linear control scheme is proposed to address these issues. The proposed control scheme is based on a hybrid linear Model Predictive Control (MPC) and linear Disturbance Observer (DOb) techniques.

[International presentation] 2016 European Control Conference,

2016.06

Oral presentation (general)

—This paper presents a distributed power supplydemand management method based on negawatt trading includingchargeordischargepowerfromenergystoragesystems. In the negawatt trading, power consumers reduce their own power demand and receive monetary reward from the market operator. In order to derive appropriate electricity incentive pricesforconsumersandtouseenergystoragesystemsinpower grids efﬁciently, we deal with a power adjustment problem using some future power supply information in this paper. We then show a novel market algorithm to solve this problem in a distributed manner through market trading among the market operator and consumers. Finally, we verify the effectiveness of our proposed method with numerical simulation results.

Load frequency control of a microgrid based on H∞ control considering response speed of generators

Kenji Masui and Toru NAMERIKAWA

[International presentation] Proc. of IEEE Conference on Decision and Control,

2015.12

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, we discuss the load-frequency control problem of microgrids.
First, we use dispersion-type power sources such as batteries, and secondly, we apply new control theories. Therefore, we focus on a microgrid that comprises a wind-turbine generator, a diesel generator, and a battery, and we propose a technique based on static H∞ control. First, we design a generalized plant considering the differences in the response speeds of diesel generators and batteries. Then, we apply static H∞ control to the generalized plant. Moreover, we combine a linear matrix inequality (LMI) condition with static H∞ control to avoid control gains that will result in control inputs that are too large. We perform numerical simulations to verify that the controller can suppress the frequency deviations and deviations in the residual capacity of the battery. Furthermore, we show that the approach can be employed to design controllers with lower dimensions, and to avoid undesirable control gains. Finally, we perform experiments using a generator and a variable resistance to confirm the effectiveness of the controller.

Regional demand-supply management based on dynamic pricing in multi-period energy market

Yoshihiro Okawa and Toru NAMERIKAWA

[International presentation] Proc. of IEEE Conference on Decision and Control,

2015.12

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a regional demand response method based on dynamic electricity pricing in a multi-period energy market. In the proposed method, first, the power demand and supply in each area are determined considering power flow using the retail and wholesale electricity prices in a day-ahead market. Next, to adjust for power deviations caused by errors in power generation, our proposed method solves the problem of optimal allocation between power demand reduction by consumers and increased power supply from balancing generators in a real-time market. This paper also shows a distributed algorithm for obtaining the optimal values of each market player in both the day-ahead and real-time markets, and finally, numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Flocking Control of a Leader-follower System considering Connectivity Maintenance

Itazuri Kazuki and Toru NAMERIKAWA

[International presentation] SWARM 2015 : The First International Symposium on Swarm Behavior and Bio-Inspired Robotics,

2015.10

Oral presentation (general)

The paper deals with a leader-follower flocking control for a multi-agent system which consists of multiple
agents and a leader. The proposed method enables all agents to be disposed at an uniform distance, reach agreement on a
same velocity with their neighborhood, and to track a moving leader independently. Leader is seen as one of the agents,
in addition, all agents obtain their goal using their neighborhood information only. Furthermore, we suggest the bounded
potential function to guarantee the collision avoidance and connectivity maintenance between the agents. As a result, all
of the swarm can move with preserving flocking configuration. Finally, numerical simulations show the effectiveness of
the proposed method.

Image-based Position Estimation of UAV using Kalman Filter

Takaaki Kojima and Toru Namerikawa

[International presentation] Proceedings of 2015 IEEE Conference on Control Applications,

2015.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with the position estimation
problem by using the Kalman Filter with compensations for
unexpected observations. In the position estimation problem,
robot observations sometimes yield unexpected values, resulting
in the deterioration of the estimation accuracy. For example,
visual observation with an unmanned aerial vehicle often yields
unexpected results because of blurred images. In this paper,
we propose a method to assigns weights to the observations
in order to remove the effects of unexpected observations. In
the proposed method, unexpected observations are detected by
comparing the observation values with its estimates; the weights
of these observations are then determined. On the basis of
simulation and experimental results, we demonstrate that a
robot’s position can be estimated by the proposed method.

Unscented Kalman filter for position estimation of UAV by using image information

Tang Swee Ho, Kojima Takaaki, Namerikawa Toru, Yeong Che Fai, Su Eileen Lee Ming

[International presentation] Proceedings of SICE Annual conference,

2015.07

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, the position estimation problem is solved by using unscented Kalman filter with observation uncertainty's compensations. These observation uncertainties causing the estimation become inaccurate in position estimate problem. Visual observation is difficult for an unmanned aerial vehicle equipped with only a monocular-vision camera and often results in observation error because of the detected blurred images. A method to weight the observations is proposed in order to improve the position estimation. Simulation is performed using MATLAB and Simulink to verify the proposed method. The simulation result shows that the proposed method can estimate the position accurately.

[International presentation] Proceedings of SICE Annual conference,

2015.07

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a distributed decision procedure for determining the electricity price for a future smart grid. In order to derive the optimal regional prices and improve the convergence speed of the algorithm without private information of market players, we propose a price decision algorithm with an alternating decision making of market players. In this paper, we show that the optimal regional prices derived by using our proposed algorithm maximize the social welfare of power networks which includes profits of power consumers and power suppliers with renewable energy generators. Also, we discuss the convergence property of the proposed price decision algorithm. Finally, the feasibility of our proposed dynamic pricing methodology is shown with numerical simulation results.

Formation Control with Collision Avoidance for a Multi-UAV System using Decentralized MPC and Consensus-based Control

Yasuhiro Kuriki and Toru Namerikawa

[International presentation] Proceedings of the 14th European Control Conference,

2015.07

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, we propose a cooperative formation
control strategy with collision-avoidance capability for a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system by using decentralized model predictive control (MPC) and consensus-based control. Each of the UAVs plans only its own action to track a trajectory. The trajectory is planned for desired formation flying using a consensus-based control algorithm. Collision-avoidance is regarded as coupled constraints. We show how the optimization problems with collision-avoidance can be solved by each UAV in parallel with the other UAVs so that decisions taken independently by each UAV can ensure consistency with the coupled constraints of collision-avoidance. In addition, we show that our proposed approach hardly affects the computation time to solve the optimization problems with collision-avoidance compared to the time for solving the problems without collision-avoidance. Finally, the proposed approach is validated by simulations.

Takashi Irita and Toru Namerikawa

[International presentation] Proceedings of the 14th European Control Conference,

2015.07

Oral presentation (general)

This paper discusses faults diagnosis method of multiple cyber attacks in networked electrical power systems. We deal with a power network of a centralized system, and then, some parameters are estimated by Kalman filter. Using a sensor network system, each of sensor nodes can exchange
information by wireless communication. A fault diagnosis
method is proposed by using both fault detection diagnosis
matrix and fault distinction matrix. The former is composed
of estimated values and observed values. On the other hand,
the latter is composed of observed values and calculated values via the senor network. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated by a simulation experiment.

Dynamic Electricity Pricing via the H-infinity Control Considering Uncertainties in Market Participants' Behavior

Yoshihiro Okawa and Toru Namerikawa

[International presentation] Proceedings of the 14th European Control Conference,

2015.07

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a dynamic pricing via the
H-infinity control considering uncertainties in market participants' behavior. The dynamic pricing is a decision procedure of an electricity price based on power demand and supply information from selfish power consumers and generators. However, since market participants have uncertainties in their behavior, the price decision procedure is required to have robustness
against these uncertainties for stable operation of power systems. Then, in this paper, we propose a novel price decision procedure via the H-infinity control and also show the effectiveness of our proposed price decision method in simulation results.

Power system stabilization by direct load control based on strategy-proofness and individual rationality

Sato Ryutaro, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] Proceedings of American Control Conference,

2015.07

Oral presentation (general)

This paper proposes a novel direct load control method to stabilize the system frequency. The proposed method utilizes the consumers' controllable loads for load frequency control. By solving an optimization problem to maximize the social welfare function, the input required for the frequency control is allocated among the controllable loads and the load frequency control generator in an economically rational manner. To introduce the direct control program for smooth operation of the power system, preventing consumers from cheating and guaranteeing their benefits are required. Thus, strategy-proofness and individual rationality based on the Groves and Clarke mechanism were used to design the electricity charge. Each consumer bids on the utility functions truthfully to the independent system operator and gains from participating in the proposed direct load control program. The effectiveness of the proposed method was demonstrated through numerical simulations.

unknown parameters are estimated via constrained kalman filter. Finally, the advantages of the proposed method over the conventional method are shown through simulations.

Experimental Validation of Cooperative Formation Control with Collision Avoidance for a Multi-UAV System

KURIKI YasuhiroNAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] Proceedings of the 6th International Conference on Automation, Robotics and Applications, 2015 (Queenstown, New Zealand) ,

2015.02

Oral presentation (general)

In this study, we consider cooperative control
issues for a multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system.
Specifically, we present a cooperative formation control strategy for a multi-UAV system with unidirectional network links. Our strategy is to apply a consensus-based algorithm and leaderfollower structure to the UAVs so that they can cooperatively fly in formation. The leader provides each UAV with commands to generate a geometric configuration of the formation. Convergence is guaranteed when the cooperative formation control algorithm is applied to the UAVs. Collisions among UAVs can occur when they are flying with the cooperative control UAVs.
Our strategy for collision avoidance is to apply an artificial potential approach to the UAVs. Experiments are performed on multiple commercial small UAVs to validate the proposed formation control algorithm with collision-avoidance capability.

Dynamic pricing considering constraints of power grids

Okawa Yoshihiro, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] Proceedings of SICE Annual Conference,

2014.10

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a model of a real-time electricity market for a smart grid, and discusses how to decide wholesale and retail prices of electricity among market participants: power consumers, power suppliers and an independent system operator. In this paper, we consider a linearized AC model of a power grid with a direct current process and show that the wholesale price for suppliers is determined as the optimal Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the nodal power balance constraints. In addition, we propose a decision procedure for the retail pricing of electricity for consumers. In order to improve the convergence speed of the algorithm, we apply the iterative gradient method with line search to a retail pricing decision procedure, in which the optimal step size is determined in each iteration step. Simulation results, finally, show the effectiveness of the proposed retail pricing decision procedure.

Fuel consumption optimization for a power-split HEV via gain-scheduled model predictive control

Iyama Hitoshi, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] Proceedings of SICE Annual Conference,

2014.10

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, we propose a fuel consumption optimization technique for a power-split hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) via gain-scheduled model predictive control. The control algorithms for the hybrid powertrain choose the power split between the internal combustion engine and electric motor of the HEV in order to minimize the fuel consumption. The operating conditions of the HEV change during driving in real time by road conditions and driver demand. Therefore, it is necessary to have optimal control in real time and to consider the time-varying motor condition. We model an HEV and propose a gain-scheduled model predictive control for a power-split HEV. Using the proposed technique, the optimal fuel consumption for a power-split HEV is achieved. Finally, the proposed approach is validated by numerical simulations.

Oral presentation (general)

This study deals with decentralized and hierarchical control for electric power networks by using overlapping
information. The control objective is to minimize the cost function of the load frequency control problem. The control
law consists of three steps. We apply the decentralized hierarchical control methodology to large-scale electrical power networks consisting of distributed power storage and generation sources such as batteries and wind power generators.

IYAMA HitoshiNAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] SICE Annual Conference 2014 (Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan) ,

2014.09

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, we propose a fuel consumption optimization technique for a power-split hybrid electric vehicle
(HEV) via gain-scheduled model predictive control. The control algorithms for the hybrid powertrain choose the power split between the internal combustion engine and electric motor of the HEV in order to minimize the fuel consumption.
The operating conditions of the HEV change during driving in real time by road conditions and driver demand. Therefore, it is necessary to have optimal control in real time and to consider the time-varying motor condition. We model an HEV and propose a gain-scheduled model predictive control for a power-split HEV. Using the proposed technique, the optimal fuel consumption for a power-split HEV is achieved. Finally, the proposed approach is validated by numerical simulations.

OKAWA YoshihiroNAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] SICE Annual Conference 2014 (Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan) ,

2014.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a model of a real-time electricity market for a smart grid, and discusses how to decide
wholesale and retail prices of electricity among market participants: power consumers, power suppliers and an independent system operator. In this paper, we consider a linearized AC model of a power grid with a direct current process and show that the wholesale price for suppliers is determined as the optimal Lagrange multiplier corresponding to the nodal power balance constraints. In addition, we propose a decision procedure for the retail pricing of electricity for consumers.
In order to improve the convergence speed of the algorithm, we apply the iterative gradient method with line search to a
retail pricing decision procedure, in which the optimal step size is determined in each iteration step. Simulation results, finally, show the effectiveness of the proposed retail pricing decision procedure.

Consensus-based Cooperative Formation Control with Collision Avoidance for a Multi-UAV System

KURIKI YasuhiroNAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] The 2014 American Control Conference, Portland, USA (ACC2014) (Portland, USA) ,

2014.06

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, we study cooperative control problems
with a multi-UAV system. Specifically, we propose a c
consensus-based cooperative formation control strategy with
collision-avoidance capability for a group of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). To cooperatively fly in formation, a consensus-based algorithm and a leader-follower structure are applied to the UAVs. Collisions among the UAVs can occur while they are flying with the cooperative control algorithm.
Therefore, we describe how the cooperatively controlled UAVs
avoid collisions while they are flying to desired position for formation. The collision-avoidance strategy is based on an artificial potential approach. The convergence is guaranteed even when the cooperative formation control algorithm and the collision-avoidance control algorithm are simultaneously applied to the quadrotors. Finally, the proposed approach is validated by some simulations.

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with the Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problem via the H_∞ filter with compensations for intermittent observations. In order to estimate positions of a robot and landmarks accurately under intermittent observations, we propose the method with a novel filter which detects and compensates intermittent observations by comparing the obtained data with their estimations. This paper also shows the convergence of the estimated error covariance matrices. With simulation and experimental results, we confirm that the state of the robot and the environmental conditions are estimated accurately via the proposed filter under intermittent observations and that the derived theorems of the convergence are correct. © 2014 IEEE.

S.Tokumoto T.Namerikawa

[International presentation] The 52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control2013(CDC) (Florence,Italy) ,

2013.12

Oral presentation (general), IEEE

The purpose of this research is to detect a person
with a sensor network that uses CO2 sensors and to guide a
rescue robot to the position at which the person is located. Whena person is in a position where sensors are arranged, that person can be detected, but when a person is in a position where sensors are not arranged, detection cannot be performed. Therefore,in this paper, we propose interpolating CO2 concentrations between sensors so that detection of a person can be performed in regions where sensors are not arranged. First, the wind speed required for gas concentration interpolation is estimated
from the observed sensor values. Then, the algorithm for
interpolating the CO2 concentration between sensors using the estimated wind speed is shown. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is verified by simulation.

2013.12

Oral presentation (general), IEEE

In this paper, we study cooperative control problems
with a multi-UAV system expressed as a fourth-order
system using a consensus algorithm. We first show that a
linearized model of quadrotors is expressed as a fourth-order system, and then propose a formation control algorithm for the fourth-order system after formulating a problem. The proposed control law is based on a consensus algorithm and a leader-follower structure is also applied to the control law so that a leader can individually provide each of the quadrotors with information of their desired states. And then, we show that the proposed control algorithm can guarantee accurate formation keeping when fundamental assumptions about the network composed of the multiple UAVs are satisfied.
Finally, the proposed approach is validated by some simulations.

Convex Hull Pricing for Demand Response in Electricity Markets

N.Ito,A.Takeda,NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] IEEE Smart Grid Comm 2013 (Vancouver,Canada) ,

2013.10

Oral presentation (general), IEEE

Dynamic pricing (a.k.a. real-time pricing) is a method of invoking a response in demand pricing electricity at hourly (or more often) intervals. Several studies have proposed dynamic pricing models that maximize the sum of the welfares of consumers and suppliers under the condition that the supply and demand are equal. They assume that the cost functions of suppliers are convex. In practice, however, they are not convex because of the startup costs of generators. On the other hand,many studies have taken startup costs into consideration for unit commitment problems (UCPs) with a fixed demand. The Lagrange multiplier of the UCP, called convex hull pricing (CHP),
minimizes the uplift payment that is disadvantageous to suppliers.However, CHP has not been used in the context of demand response.
This paper presents a new dynamic pricing model based
on CHP. We apply CHP approach invented for the UCP to a
demand response market model, and theoretically show that the CHP is given by the Lagrange multiplier of a social welfare maximization problem whose objective function is represented as the sum of the customer’s utility and supplier’s profit. In addition,
we solve the dual problem by using an iterative algorithm based on the subgradient method. Numerical simulations show that the prices determined by our algorithm give sufficiently small uplift payments in a realistic number of iterations.

N.Okubo T.Namerikawa

[International presentation] Virtual Control Conference 2013 (VCC-13) (Aalborg,Denmark) ,

2013.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper proposes a game theoretic real-time
pricing method based on dual decomposition and its application to the load frequency control of power networks. The proposed pricing method aims to solve the constrained optimization problem,which consists of each player’s utility, and social welfare under selfish players. A selfish player’s decision is a Nash equilibrium solution that considers his/her own cost function.
We show that this method can influence a selfish player’s
decision toward social welfare maximization. Finally, we show that the proposed method is effective for load frequency control on the basis of simulation results.

Y.Tachibana T.Namerikawa

[International presentation] SICE Annual Conference 2013 (Nagoya University,Nagoya,Japan) ,

2013.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper proposes a cooperative control of multi-agent system to capture target object. When the agents
capture the target object, they may be subjected to reaction force from it. Therefore, we have to consider the physical contact between the agent and target object. First, we introduce the second order model to consider reaction force from target object. The network topology among agents is time-varying and connected, and information of target object is allowed to be available to at least one agent. Second, we show the proposed control law guarantees the agents capture the target object. The control law consists of graph theory and consensus algorithm, and we analyze the convergence property. Finally, simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed control law.

Short-TermWind Power Prediction forWind Turbine via Kalman Filter based on JIT Modeling

T.IshikawaT.Namerikawa

[International presentation] SICE Annual Conference 2013 (Nagoya university,Nagoya,Japan) ,

2013.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper addresses wind power prediction which is known to be a key technology in EMS(Energy Management Systems). In recent years, an introductory expansion of renewable energy is expected and the prediction of wind power generation is needed for taking in wind power generation. The goal of this work is to predict the amount of generation in the next day from the past actual data and the weather forecast data of wind. In this paper, 24 hours
ahead power prediction method using a filtering theory is proposed for wind power generation. The prediction method
is a simple algorithm, the procedure of prediction consists of two steps, the data processing and the calculation of predicted values. In the data processing, in order to get the correlative data from the database, we employ JIT(Just-In-Time) Modeling. In the calculation of predicted value, we provide the regression model for wind speed and wind power, and the unknown parameters are estimated via constrained kalman filter. Finally, the advantages of the proposed method over the conventional method are shown through simulations.

Simultaneous Localization and Mapping Problem via the H∞ Filter with a Known Landmark

Y.Okawa T.NAMERIKAWA

[International presentation] SICE Annual Conference 2013 (Nagoya University,Nagoya,Japan) ,

2013.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with the simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) problem via the H∞ filter with a known landmark. By adding the observation of a known landmark to those of unknown landmarks, the linearized SLAM model satisfies its observability, and its estimation accuracy is improved. To prove the improvement theoretically, this paper shows that the determinant of the estimated error covariance matrix with the observation of a known landmark
becomes small compared with that of the conventional H∞ filter. The convergence of the error covariance matrix is also proven in this paper. With simulations and experimental results, we confirm that the derived theorems for the convergence are correct and that we can accurately estimate the state of the robot and the environment.

Consensus-based Cooperative Control for Geometric Configuration of UAVs Flying in Formation

Y.kuriki and T.Namerikawa

[International presentation] SICE Annual Conference 2013 (Nagoya University,Nagoya,Japan) ,

2013.09

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, we study cooperative control problems with a multi-UAV system expressed as a first-order system. Specifically, we describe a problem that cooperatively controlled UAVs change geometric configuration between
multiple UAVs while the UAVs are flying in formation. In other words, each of the UAVs must intensionally change
relative position between the UAV and the leader while the UAVs are cooperatively controlled. We propose a control
algorithm to change geometric configuration among the UAVs arbitrarily while the cooperatively controlled UAVs are
flying in formation. The control algorithm is based on a consensus algorithm. A leader-follower structure is also applied to provide the UAVs with commands from a leader. The control algorithm has an advantage in finding a controller gain to stabilize the multi-UAV system. In addition, the convergence speed does not depend on the network structure of the system. Finally, the proposed approach is validated by some simulations.

[International presentation] SICE Annual Conference 2013 (Nagoya University,Nagoya,Japan) ,

2013.09

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with Multi-Robot SLAM for large scale map building. Specifically, each robot estimates a local map using EKF, and we merge these local maps into a global map. In this paper, we provide a new RLS based algorithm for map merging. First, we transform local maps into relative information which is considered as measurements
for the global map. Then, we update the state estimate by RLS considering the weighting of measurements, which is
determined by error propagation from the EKF SLAM. We prove the convergence of the error covariance matrix in this
algorithm. In experimental results, we confirm the validity of the proposed algorithm and correctness of derived theorems for the convergence.

These diagnosis matrices can immediately judge which nodes of which area is attacked. Finally, some simulation results are shown to validate the proposed approach.

Oral presentation (general), IEEE Control Systems Society

This paper deals with a fault-tolerant sensor network configuration problem for a target navigation.
A sensor network system consists of many sensor nodes
and its network connections. Each sensor node can exchange information by wireless communication. A disadvantage of this system’s property is that if there is an inaccurate information from a faulty sensor, this information has possibilities to be diffused to other sensors. Therefore, it is important to reduce effects of the inaccurate information by detecting a faulty sensor as possible as we can. And moreover, in feedback control system for navigation, we have to consider a lack of control inputs which happens depending on each sensor’s
intermittent observation. We propose two estimation methods for constructing a fault tolerant system. Specifically, we propose a fault-evaluation matrix for the fault detection, and we define a novel switching rule for shutting off inaccurate measurement data. Then we also propose a compensation algorithm for the problem of intermittent observation by using an estimated observation value.

Oral presentation (general), IEEE Industrial Electronics Society

This paper deals with H∞ Filter based SLAM which is also known as minimax filter to estimate robot and landmarks location whose able to stand for non-gaussian noise characteristics. Based on our findings, by selecting appropriate γ and initial state covariance matrix in H∞ Filter, the estimation results can show better performance in comparison to the Kalman Filter approach. From the analysis of convergence properties of H∞ Filter, it is found that the filter is capable to provide a reliable estimation. Besides, from the simulation results, H∞ Filter produces better outcome than the Kalman Filter in the nonlinear case estimation. These condition subsequently provides alternative estimation techniques with the capability to ensure and improve estimation in the robotic mapping problem especially in SLAM.

This paper deals with cooperative conveyance control by vehicle swarms with dynamic network topology. First, we introduce a dynamic network topology that depends on relative distance between the vehicles. Secondly, we propose a novel conveyance strategy based on consensus seeking with dynamic network topology. The proposed strategy needs at least one vehicle which can acquire the information of the target-object and network topology among vehicles is time-varying but always connected. Furthermore the strategy is composed of Surround and Transport mode. To analyze the convergence of conveyance with dynamic network topology, algebraic graph theory and matrix theory are utilized. Finally, numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

This paper discusses the synchronization
problem and it’s solutions for large scale power network
systems. We analyze dynamical properties of power networks
and derive the synchronization condition of electrical
generators. First, we employ a termed Kron reduction
method to derive swing equation, which describes states
of generators. Second, the derived equation is reduced
into Non-uniform Kuramoto model, and then, a synchronization
condition is derived by using the reduced model.
Finally, we have succeed in relaxing the synchronization
condition by controlling power units. Effectiveness of the
proposed condition is shown via numerical control simulations.

[International presentation] Preprints of 18th IFAC World Congress (Milano Italy) ,

2011.09

Oral presentation (general), International Federation of Automatic Control

A theoretical study about HFilter based SLAM is proposed to propose a sufficient condition
for estimation purposes. Two different cases of initial state covariance are given and analyzed to obtain
a best solution for SLAM problem with consideration of process and measurement noises statistical
behavior. If the proposed conditions are not satisfied during estimation, then the estimation will exhibit
unbounded uncertainties and consequently result in erroneous inference. Simulation results demonstrates
the performance as what this paper suggested on the theoretical analysis. These results consistently
supports and guarantees our previous findings.

Ishimura Koji, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] SICE Annual Conference 2011,

2011

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with cooperative conveyance control by vehicle swarms with dynamic network topology. First, we introduce a dynamic network topology that depends on relative distance between the vehicles. Secondly, we propose a novel conveyance strategy based on consensus seeking with dynamic network topology. The proposed strategy needs at least one vehicle which can acquire the information of the target-object and network topology among vehicles is time-varying but always connected. Furthermore the strategy is composed of Surround and. Transport mode. To analyze the convergence of conveyance with dynamic network topology, algebraic graph theory and matrix theory are utilized. Finally, numerical simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2011 SICE.

2011

Oral presentation (general)

This paper analyzes the performance of H_∞ Filter(HF) based SLAM(Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) by applying the Covariance Inflation method. We show that via Covariance Inflation, the updated state error covariance matrix is restrictively depends on the number of decorrelated landmarks such as if smaller number of landmarks are being decorrelated from other landmarks, then the decorrelated landmarks has smaller covariance than the correlated landmarks. Even more, HF with Covariance Inflation shows better confidence regarding its estimation in comparison with EKF with Covariance Inflation if the initial state covariance and measurement noise are big. The results are evaluated through several simulation analysis and consistently supports our claims. © 2011 IEEE.

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a predictive control and estimation problem with information structured constraints in a constrained finite-time optimal control framework. A large-scale system with information structures is defined as a system in which each subsystem collects spatio-temporally different information, and in general it is necessary to collect and process information in a distributed fashion. We propose a novel predictive control scheme and an estimation law with local information that each distributed subsystem obtains. The effectiveness of the proposed control and estimation law is evaluated through numerical simulations of a simplified micro grid. © 2011 ICROS.

Duc Do Nam, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 2011 50th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference,

2011

This paper focuses on a new Force-Reflection (FR) algorithm based on input-to-state stability (ISS) small gain theorem in cooperative work of Single Master-Multiple Slave (SMMS) teleoperation system with time varying communication delay. In this work, we propose a new position tracking control for object grasping and a new FR algorithm based on a PD control to transfer the positions, velocities and force information between both sides of teleoperation. The goals of these methods are to achieve the secure grasping by multiple slave robots and improve the tracking performance of the cooperation SMMS teleoperation system. To analyze stability of the system, the ISS small gain approach is used to show the overall force-reflecting teleoperation to be input-to-state stable. Several experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed method. © 2011 IEEE.

A sensor network configuration considering priori estimation error and communication energy

Takeda Takashi, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 12th IFAC Symposium on Large Scale Systems: Theory and Applications,

2010

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a network configuration considering priori estimation error variance and communication energy in sensor networked feedback system. Each sensor transmits information to a fusion center via multi-hop communication network. We propose a novel network configuration algorithm that each sensor node transmits information with a same dimension. The transmitted information is merged in each sensor node and consists of measurement data with time delay. Then the priori estimate can be minimum variance estimation. The proposed algorithm achieves sub-optimal network topology with minimum energy and a desired variance. Experimental results show an effectiveness of the proposed method.

Feasibility study of partial observability in H_∞ filtering for robot localization and mapping problem

Ahmad Hamzah, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 2010 American Control Conference,

2010

Oral presentation (general)

This paper presents H_∞ Filter SLAM, which is also known as the minimax filter to estimate the robot and landmarks location with the analysis on partial observability. Some convergence conditions are also presented to aid the analysis. Due to SLAM is a controllable but unobservable problem, it's difficult to estimate the position of robot and landmarks even though the control inputs are given to the system. As a result, Covariance Inflation which is a method of adding a pseudo positive semidefinite(PsD) matrix is proposed as one approach to analyze Partial Observability effects in SLAM and to reduce the computation cost. H_∞ Filter is capable of withstand non-gaussian noise characteristics and therefore, may provide another available approach towards SLAM solution. © 2010 AACC.

Sensor network scheduling algorithm considering estimation error variance and communication energy

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a sensor scheduling algrithm considering estimation error variance and communication energy in sensor networked feedback systems. We propose a novel decentralized estimation algorithm with unknown inputs in each sensor node. Most existing works deal with the sensor network systems as sensing systems and it is difficult to apply them to the real physical feedback control systems Then some local estimates are merged and the merged estimates can be optimized in the proposed method and the estimation error covariance has a unique positive definite solution under some assumptions. Next, we propose a novel sensor scheduling algorithm in which each sensor node transmits information. A sensor node uses energy by communication between other sensor node or the plant. The proposed algorithm achieves a sub-optimal network topology with minimum energy and a desired variance. Experimental results show an effectiveness of the proposed method. © 2010 IEEE.

Oral presentation (general)

This paper deals with a passive-decomposition based control of bilateral teleoperation between a single master robot and multiple cooperative slave robots under time varying delay in the communication line. At first, we decompose the dynamics of multiple slave robots into two decoupled dynamics: the Shape-System describing dynamics of the cooperative works, and the Locked-System representing overall behavior of the multiple slave robots. Second, we propose a PD control method for bilateral teleoperation to guarantee the asymptotical stability of the system for time varying delay. Finally, experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed teleoperation. © 2010 IEEE.

Robot localization and mapping problem with unknown noise characteristics

Ahmad Hamzah, Namerikawa Toru

[International presentation] 2010 IEEE International Conference on Control Applications,

2010

Oral presentation (general)

In this paper, we examine the H? ?Filter-based SLAM especially about its convergence properties. In contrast to Kalman Filter approach that considers zero mean gaussian noise, H_∞ Filter is more robust and may provide sufficient solutions for SLAM in an environment with unknown statistical behavior. Due to this advantage, H_∞ Filter is proposed in this paper, to efficiently estimate the robot and landmarks location under worst case situations. H_∞ Filter requires the designer to appropriately choose the noise's covariance with respect to γ to obtain a desired outcome. We show some of the conditions to be satisfy in order to achieve better estimation results than Kalman Filter. From the experimental results, H_∞Filter performs better than Kalman Filter for a case of bigger robot initial uncertainties. Subsequently, this proved that H _∞ Filter can provide another available estimation method for especially in SLAM. © 2010 IEEE.

This paper describes a bilateral control of nonlinear
teleoperation with time varying communication delay.
The proposed method are simple PD-type controllers which
are independent of the rate of time delay change and depend
on the upper bound of round-trip delay. The proposed control
strategy is independent of parameter uncertainties of the model of the robots and the operator and remote environment. The delay-dependent stability of the origin is shown via Lyapunov stability theorem. Furthermore the proposed strategy also achieves master-slave position coordination and bilateral static force reflection.
Several experimental results with wireless communication
and the Internet show the effectiveness of our proposed strategy.

Impedance Control for Force - Reflecting Teleoperation with Communication Delays Based on IOS Small Gain Theorem

DO Duc Nam and NAMERIKAWA Toru

[International presentation] ICROS-SICE International Joint Conference 2009 (Fukuoka International Congress Center, Japan) ,

2009.08

Oral presentation (general), ICROS-SICE

This paper focuses on a new proposal system input of impedance control that relates to force reflection (FR)
scheme of teleoperation with time varying in communication lines. To improve the tracking performance and transparency,
the control algorithm uses one more communication channel to transfer the FR information from the master side to the
slave side. Using variable damping values, the contact stability is achieved at the time while the slave robot contacts with the environment. In this work, the input-to-output stability (IOS) small gain approach is used to show the overall force-reflecting teleoperation to be input-to-state stable (ISS). Several experimental results show the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm.

Oral presentation (general), ICROS-SICE

KF-SLAM(Kalman filter-SLAM) have been used as a popular solution by researchers in many SLAM application.
Nevertheless, it shortcomings of assumption for Gaussian noise limited its efficiency and demand researcher to consider better filter and algorithm to achieve a promising result of estimation. In this paper, we proposed one of its
family, the H∞ filter-based SLAM to determine its competency for SLAM problem. Unlike Kalman filter, H∞ filter able to work in an unknown statistical noise behavior and thus more robust. It rely on a guess that the noise is in bounded energy and does not require a priori knowledge about the system. Therefore, we proposed the H∞ filter as other available technique to infer the location for both robot and landmarks while simultaneously building the map. From the results of simulation, H∞ filter produces better outcome than the Kalman filter especially in the linear case estimation. As a result, H∞ filter may provides another available estimation methods with the capability to ensure and improve estimation for the robotic mapping problem especially in SLAM.

A controller design methodology was proposed using Q-parameterization theory for a variable speed magnetic bearing to control the vibrations. A mathematical model in a state space form was used for the bearings. The controller free parameter Q was assumed to be a proper stable transfer function whose order equals twice the number of operating speeds. A set of linear equations was solved to satisfy the design objectives. Several simulations obtained to evaluate the controller showed the effectiveness of the controller in eliminating the vibrations at different speeds.

本稿では回転速度が変化する磁気軸受を対象とし，この対象に対して回転速度情報を基にコントローラのゲインを適応的に変化させるゲインスケジュールドH∞制御を適用し，有効性を実験的に検証している．まず磁気軸受をロータの回転速度に対する線形パラメータ変動(LPV)システムとして表現し，これにより高速回転時に問題となるジャイロ効果と不釣合い振動を考慮した．つぎに実際にこのLPVシステムに対してロバスト制御系を構成し，最後に提案法の有効性を実験的に検証した．

In this paper, we present a robust control for a flexible-joint robot manipulator using linear parameter varying representation. The robot manipulator dynamics can be brought to a quasi linear parameter varying (LPV) form by a state transformation. An LPV system is defined as a linear at system whose dynamics depend on an exogenous variable which can be measured upon system operation. In this case, the scheduling variables are the joint angles q. which are state variables. Using a quasi-LPV form, we design a robust controller by μ-synthesis to achieve robust performance specification.
