Effects of Nonlinearities in Black Box Identification of an Industrial Robot
- 2000
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This paper discusses effects of nonlinearities in black box identification of one axis of a robot. The used data come from a commercial ABB robot, IRB1400. A three-mass flexible model for the robot was built in MathModelica. The nonlinearities in the model are nonlinear friction and backlash in the gear box.

A Study of some Approaches to Vibration Data Analysis
- 1993
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Using data from extensive vibrational tests of the new aircraft Saab 2000 three different methods for vibration analysis are studied. These methods are ERA (eigensystem realization algorithm), N4SID (a subspace method) and PEM (prediction error approach). We find that both the ERA and N4SID methods give good initial model parameter estimates that can be further improved by the use of PEM. We also find that all methods give good insights into the vibrational modes.

Ground Target Recognition in a Query-Based Multi-Sensor Information System
- 2006
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We present a system covering the complete process for automatic ground target recognition, from sensor data to the user interface, i.e., from low level image processing to high level situation analysis. The system is based on a query language and a query processor, and includes target detection, target recognition, data fusion, presentation and situation analysis. This paper focuses on target recognition and its interaction with the query processor. The target recognitionis executed in sensor nodes, each containing a sensor and the corresponding signal/image processing algorithms. New sensors and algorithms are easily added to the system. The processing of sensor data is performed in two steps; attribute estimation and matching. First, several attributes, like orientation and dimensions, are estimated from the (unknown but detected) targets. These estimates are used to select the models of interest in a matching step, where the targetis matched with a number of target models. Several methods and sensor data types are used in both steps, and data is fused after each step. Experiments have been performed using sensor data from laser radar, thermal and visual cameras. Promising results are reported, demonstrating the capabilities of the target recognition algorithms, the advantages of the two-level data fusion and the query-based system.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this paper we discuss smooth and sensitive norms for prediction error system identification when the disturbances are magnitude bounded. Formal conditions for sensitive norms, which give an order of magnitude faster convergence of the parameter estimate variance, are developed. However, it also is shown that the parameter estimate variance convergence rate of sensitive norms is arbitrarily bad for certain distributions. A necessary condition for a norm to be statistically robust with respect to the family F(C) of distributions with support [-C, C] for some arbitrary C>0 is that its second derivative does not vanish on the support. A direct consequence of this observation is that the quadratic norm is statistically robust among all lp-norms, p⩽2<∞ for F(C).

The Least-Squares Identification of FIR Systems Subject to Worst-Case Noise
- 1993
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The least-squares identification of FIR systems is analyzed assuming that the noise is a bounded signal and the input signal is a pseudo-random binary sequence. A lower bound on the worst-case transfer function error shows that the lest-square estimate of the transfer function diverges as the order of the FIR system is increased. This implies that, in the presence of the worst-case noise, the trade-off between the estimation error due to the disturbance and the bias error (due to unmodeled dynamics) is significantly different from the corresponding trade-off in the random error case: with a worst-case formulation, the model complexity should not increase indefinitely as the size of the data set increases.

Broadcast Encryption and Group Codes
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- We consider the subset difference scheme for broadcast encryption and count the number of required transmissions when using this scheme. The subset scheme organizes receivers in a tree structure and we note that isomorphic trees yield the same number of required transmissions. We then study the group properties of isomorphism classes of trees. Finally we formulate some research questions for further study of the performance of the subset difference scheme.

Performance of the Subset Difference Scheme for Broadcast Encryption
- 2004
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report considers the subset difference scheme for broadcast encryption and the number of broadcast transmissions required when using this scheme. For cases where the privileged users are gathered in a few groups we derive the worst case number of transmissions. We also present an upper bound for the number of transmissions based on the number of transitions between privileged and nonprivileged users in the user set.

Avoiding Mode Pairing when Updating Finite Element Models
- 1997
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Updating nite element models of complex mechanical structures requires some extra considerations. It is stressed that the two most important aspects on updating finite element models are parameter estimation properties and computational expenses. A novel mode-pairing free model updating formulation is found to hav egood parameter estimation properties. The computational expenses are reduced with a semi-fixed modal basis, kept fixed during several iterations.

Noise Robust Actuator Placement on Flexible Structures
- 1997
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A novel criterion for placement of actuators on flexible mechanical structures is presented. Using simulated "measured modes" obtained from the model, the proposed criterion maximizes the correlation of the measured modes and the normal modes. The measured modes deviate from the normal modes due to damping, measurement noise and process noise. The statistical properties of the criterion are investigated. In simulations the computed actuator locations on a small aircraft-like model shows increased robustness properties against damping, for an acceptable loss of correlation. A computationally cheap actuator placement algorithm is proposed.
