“…The resulting quadratic program was then solved using the Gurobi solver. Both approaches were tested in experiments using a laboratory pendulum lab process, described in more details in Oravec et al (2016b). However, not all state variables could be directly measured.…”

This paper shows how model predictive control (MPC) can be used to perform agile manoeuvres in a pendulum-on-a-cart system, which is an abstraction of many mechanical systems commonly used in the industry, such as cranes. Specifically, the problem of moving a cart on which a pendulum is mounted using a free joint is rapidly moved from one position to another one while mitigating the swings of the pendulum. To achieve this goal, an optimization-based MPC strategy is employed that selects the control moves while minimizing the chosen cost function and, simultaneously, enforcing constraint satisfaction. As the controlled system is nonlinear, two options are considered. The first one solves the nonlinear MPC problem in an approximate fashion using the so-called random shooting approach. The second method is based on the first one approximating the nonlinear system by a linear one, followed by applying convex MPC techniques. The performance of both strategies was compared by means of real-time experiments.

“…El objetivo del prototipo es el de ser empleado en la enseñanza de algoritmos de control PID programados en lenguaje ADA. En el campo de la capacitación en el control de equipo CNC se tiene el trabajo [12]. En éste se describe la construcción y empleo de un plóter 2D desarrollado para la experimentación en el control de posición en un plano.…”

Automation training in engineering schools requires laboratories equipped in order to complement theoretical courses and develop students' ability to solve practical problems. The high cost of educational models makes access to these equipment difficult. The development of an academic mechatronic system with two degrees of freedom for Pick-and-Place tasks is presented. The device can hold objects up to 200 gr and move them in a plane XZ. The object is held by a vacuum system. On the horizontal axis the displacement range is 45 cm and on the vertical axis 10 cm. The prototype has a connection board where the sensors and actuators signals are available. This allows students to control the device through different technologies. These signals are also available on an-Ethernet port to expand the communication capacity of the device. Preliminary tests show the correct functioning of the mechanical and electronic systems developed.
