Simultaneous Feedforward Online Command Rate Limiter Filters For Existingcontrollers, Gali̇p Serdar Tombul

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

One of the biggest challenges in controller design for a mechatronics system is the actuator limitations. Either response time of the actuator or the input constraints creates limits for the controller performance and stability. In this study a novel feedforward online rate limiter scheme for arbitrary input signals is introduced by taking velocity, acceleration and jerk constraints into account, and it is investigated that how the control effort and system response is affected by the demand signal's rate of change limitations. A fin actuation system for a guided missile is given as an example where the demand signal comes from …

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Fractional order PI controllers based on two different analytical design methods are applied to a magnetic levitation system in this paper. The controller parameters are specified in order to fulfill specific frequency criteria. The first design method utilizes a unity feedback reference model whose forward path includes Bode's ideal loop transfer function. The second method uses the reference model that has been obtained via delayed Bode's ideal loop transfer function. The achievement of these two controllers are contrasted with each other on the magnetic levitation system using various criteria.

A Two-Stage Hair Region Localization Method For Guided Laser Hair Removal, Murat Avşar, İmam Şami̇l Yeti̇k

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Removal of hair using laser is a widely used method, where our goal is to permanently remove hair by using laser to cause heat in order to thermally damage the hair follicle. However, currently available laser hair removal systems affect the outer skin layers besides hair follicles. This is a disadvantage of classical methods with major health risks. We propose a method to overcome these health risks by guiding the laser beam only to automatically localized hair regions. This study aims to develop an automated feature-based hair region localization method as an integral part of the proposed hair removal system …

Determining Overfitting And Underfitting In Generative Adversarial Networksusing Fréchet Distance, Enes Eken Jan 2021

Determining Overfitting And Underfitting In Generative Adversarial Networksusing Fréchet Distance, Enes Eken

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can be used in a wide range of applications where drawing samples from a data probability distribution without explicitly representing it is essential. Unlike the deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained for mapping an input to one of the multiple outputs, monitoring the overfitting and underfitting in GANs is not trivial since they are not classifying but generating a data. While training set and validation set accuracy give a direct sense of success in terms of overfitting and underfitting for CNNs during the training process, evaluating the GANs mainly depends on the visual inspection of the …

Obround Trees: Sparsity Enhanced Feedback Motion Planning Of Differential Driverobotic Systems, Mustafa Mert Ankarali

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Robot motion planning & control is one of the most critical and prevalent problems in the robotics community. Even though original motion planning algorithms had relied on "open-loop" strategies and policies, researchers and engineers have been focusing on feedback motion planning and control algorithms due to the uncertainties, such as process and sensor noise of autonomous robotic applications. Recently, several studies proposed some robust feedback motion planning strategies based on sparsely connected safe zones. In this class of planning and control policies, local control policy inside a single zone computes and feeds the control actions that can drive the robot …


Novel Ofdm Transmission Scheme Using Generalized Prefix With Subcarrierindex Modulation, Yusuf Acar Jan 2021

Novel Ofdm Transmission Scheme Using Generalized Prefix With Subcarrierindex Modulation, Yusuf Acar

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

The cyclic prefix (CP) is a prefix technique widely used in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in order to eliminate the intersymbol interference (ISI) caused by the dispersion of wireless channels. However, CP reduces the number of symbols that can be transmitted in one OFDM symbol. Therefore, CP is one of the bottlenecks of OFDM systems limiting their spectral efficiency (SE). This limitation on the SE of the classical CP-based OFDM system is the main motivation for this work to introduce a novel method. In this paper, the design of a new CP structure, which is based on the …


Control Synthesis For Parametric Timed Automata Under Reachability, Ebru Aydin Göl Jan 2021

Control Synthesis For Parametric Timed Automata Under Reachability, Ebru Aydin Göl

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Timed automata is a fundamental modeling formalism for real-time systems. During the design of such real-time systems, often the system information is incomplete, and design choices can vary. These uncertainties can be integrated to the model via parameters and labelled transitions. Then, the design can be completed by tuning the parameters and restricting the transitions via controller synthesis. These problems, namely parameter synthesis and controller synthesis, are studied separately in the literature. Herein, these are combined to generate an automaton satisfying the given specification by both parameter tuning and controller synthesis, thus exploring all design choices. First, it is shown …

A New Approach: Semisupervised Ordinal Classification, Ferda Ünal, Derya Bi̇rant, Özlem Şeker

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Semisupervised learning is a type of machine learning technique that constructs a classifier by learning from a small collection of labeled samples and a large collection of unlabeled ones. Although some progress has been made in this research area, the existing semisupervised methods provide a nominal classification task. However, semisupervised learning for ordinal classification is yet to be explored. To bridge the gap, this study combines two concepts ?semisupervised learning? and "ordinal classification" for the categorical class labels for the first time and introduces a new concept of "semisupervised ordinal classification". This paper proposes a new algorithm for semisupervised learning …


Novel Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Controller With Current Constraint Forpermanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor, Yao Fang, Huifang Kong, Daoyuan Ding Jan 2021

Novel Fast Terminal Sliding Mode Controller With Current Constraint Forpermanent-Magnet Synchronous Motor, Yao Fang, Huifang Kong, Daoyuan Ding

Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences

Under the noncascade structure, the balance between q-axis current constraint and dynamic performance in permanent-magnet synchronous motor system has become a critical problem. On the one hand, large transient current is required to provide high torque to achieve fast dynamic performance. On the other hand, current constraint becomes a state constraint problem, instead of governing q-axis reference current in the cascade structure directly. Aiming at this issue, a novel fast terminal sliding mode control (FTSMC)-based controller with current constraint is developed in this paper. The novelty of this scheme is related to the proposed penalty function based on interior point …
