“…However, considering IH applications, little research or industrial applications have been yet described. In [16], a furnace control is proposed and compared with current state-of-the-art alternatives, highlighting benefits of MPC, and an IH furnace with a parallel-resonant load and unity input power factor is described in [17]. In [18], Laguerre functions are applied in order to obtain a less demanding computational complexity.…”

Modern induction heating systems involve usually many non-linear systems with different constraints, making difficult implementing classical controllers. In this context, model predictive control arises as a powerful technique able to provide high performance controllers with advanced functionalities. This paper will discuss the benefits of this control technique for induction heating systems and will provide an example of application for domestic systems. As a conclusion, MPC will help powering future induction heating systems with improved control capabilities and performance.

“…Model Predictive Control (MPC) is one of the most common solutions for obstacle avoidance [29]. Indeed, it has been applied to control various systems, including indus-trial systems [30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37]. Moreover, it has also been used to generate safe trajectories for robots by using simplified dynamics in an unknown environment.…”

SUMMARYThe article presents the experimental evaluation of an integrated approach for path following and obstacle avoidance, implemented on wheeled robots. Wheeled robots are widely used in many different contexts, and they are usually required to operate in partial or total autonomy: in a wide range of situations, having the capability to follow a predetermined path and avoiding unexpected obstacles is extremely relevant. The basic requirement for an appropriate collision avoidance strategy is to sense or detect obstacles and make proper decisions when the obstacles are nearby. According to this rationale, the approach is based on the definition of the path to be followed as a curve on the plane expressed in its implicit formf(x, y) = 0, which is fed to a feedback controller for path following. Obstacles are modeled through Gaussian functions that modify the original function, generating a resulting safe path which – once again – is a curve on the plane expressed asf′(x, y) = 0: the deformed path can be fed to the same feedback controller, thus guaranteeing convergence to the path while avoiding all obstacles. The features and performance of the proposed algorithm are confirmed by experiments in a crowded area with multiple unicycle-like robots and moving persons.

“…Induction heating, as a typical electric heating method, has been getting growing attention due to its high heating efficiency [12], fast response [13,14] and low energy consumption [15,16]. The basic principle of induction heating is that an alternating current is flowed through the coil to generate an alternating magnetic field, and an eddy current is induced in the conductor by the alternating magnetic field, leading to a temperature rise due to the Joule effect [17–19].…”

The anti-/de-icing technology based on induction heating offers significant advantages regarding fast heating, high efficiency, safety and environmental protection. However, the reported methods require the modification of base materials, which lacks universal applicability. Here, a universal and facile anti-/de-icing method is proposed based on induction heating. The durable induction heating coating was prepared by one-step spin coating with micron-sized nickel powder, epoxy resin and silicone resin. The induction heating ability of this coating was investigated by adjusting the proportion of composition, particle size and thickness. An optimal induction heating ability was achieved with the mass ratio of nickel powder and resin, particle size of nickel powder and coating thickness being 1.5, 7 μm and 1070 μm, respectively. We further show this coating can be applied for anti-/ de-icing, demonstrated by its excellent de-/anti-icing performances. Finally, the mechanical durability of the coating was verified by the tape peel and sandpaper friction.
