LABORATORY OF SYSTEM ENGINEERING AND CONTROL

Lab. Rekayasa Sistem dan Kontrol

"Welcome to System and Control Engineering Laboratory Mechanical Engineering Department ITS"

Our main mission is to explore science, technology and social role of system and control engineering trough the utilization of robotics and maintenance management. The objectives of this mission is to replace human involvements in handling various industrial processes. The human behaviour, that seems unpredictable, unstructured, and uncertain become the obstacle that need to be overcome. We harness our members and partner’s collective skills and strengths and collaborated it into unique institution that is known as RSK Laboratory. Up until this point we actively involved in cross-discipline, cross-countries projects.

RECONFIGURABLE PARALLEL MANIPULATORS FOR BUILDING

Reconfigurable parallel manipulators can be very efficient forthree-dimensionally printing complex shapes or overhang geometry. The platform can continuously switch from one motion type to another by using several solutions, i.e. belts, brakes, lockable joints, etc. The reconfiguration process needs thorough analysis corresponding to kinematics and dynamics behavior. This research can be seen in the video on THIS LINK.

CONTROL MOMENT GYROSCOPE STABILIZATION OF UNSTABLE VEHICLES

The problem of stability of two-wheeled vehicle is very similar to the classic problem in control theory, namely the stability of the inverted pendulum. Conventionally, balancing the inverted pendulum is achieved by moving the base of the pendulum horizontally. This balancing method requires a large operating range of the moving base. A balancing system that allows the inverted pendulum to be stabilized on a much smaller area is a kind of balancer with inertial wheels or gyroscopic actuation. This research will formulate and prove the concept of controlling a two-wheeled vehicle which is analogous to an inverted pendulum with the gyroscopic actuation system.

CABLE ROBOT WITH MOBILE CRANES

This paper presents a stability analysis based on the Zero Moment Point (ZMP) concept during the reconfiguration of a Cable-Driven Parallel Robot (CDPR) using three mobile bases. Each mobile base can be driven forward and backward, and it has a crane that can be moved up and down, to which a cable connected to the end effector is attached. The ZMP should stay within the designated support boundaries to prevent the robot from tumbling. Therefore, the next positions of the cable exit point are changed by applying two reconfiguration schemes to the robot: 1) changing the mobile base position and 2) altering the crane length. Kinetostatic models of both reconfiguration schemes are formulated such that the wrench matrix is expressed to compute the cable tensions. A fifth-degree polynomial test trajectory is defined to be followed by the end-effector. When executing a prescribed trajectory, the sequence of the mobile base position and the crane length are optimized by continuously considering the robot stability based on ZMP. Without reconfiguration, the mobile cranes cannot handle high cable tensions without tipping over. By performing two reconfiguration schemes, the whole system can be constantly maintained in equilibrium, and the robot’s workspace can be enlarged; therefore, the tipping over can eventually be avoided. An experimental setup is built to demonstrate and validate the mathematical models of both reconfiguration scenarios.

ACTIVE VARIABLE GEOMETRY SUSPENSION

The suspension system is a component of the vehicle that used to isolate the vibrations rising from road unevenness. This research explore the potential of the Active Variable Geometry Suspension (AVGS) for comfort and road holding enhancement. The AVG Stakes a conventional independent passive or semi-active suspension as its starting point, and improves its behavior by actively controlling the suspension geometry.

PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE FOR INDUSTRI 4.0

Predictive maintenance for industry 4.0 is a method of preventing asset failure by analyzing production data to identify patterns and predict issues before they happen. Implementing industrial IoT technologies to monitor asset health and optimize maintenance schedules, allows manufacturers to lower service costs, maximize uptime, and improve production throughput.
