In this paper, the control algorithm fur an autonomous vehicle is studied and applied to an actual 2 wheel-driven vehicle system. In order to control a nonholonomic system, the kinematic model for an autonomous vehicle is constructed by relative velocity relationship about the virtual point at distance from the vehicle's frame. And the optimal controller that based on the kinematic model is operated on purpose to track a reference vehicle's path. The actual system is designed with named 'HYAVI' and the system controller is applied. Because all the results of simulation don't satisfy the driving conditions of HYAVI, a reformed control algorithm that satisfies an actual autonomous vehicle is applied at HYAVI. At the results of actual experiments, the path tracking works very well by the reformed control algorithm. An autonomous vehicle that applied this control algorithm can be easily used for a path generation algorithm.

This research presents an A* based algorithm which can be applied to Unmanned Ground Vehicle self-navigation in order to make the driving path smoother. Based on the grid map, A* algorithm generated the path by using straight lines. However, in this situation, the knee points, which are the connection points when vehicle changed orientation, are created. These points make Unmanned Ground Vehicle continuous navigation unsuitable. Therefore, in this paper, B-spline curve function is applied to transform the path transfer into curve type. And because the location of the control point has influenced the B-spline curve, the optimal control selection algorithm is proposed. Also, the optimal path tracking speed can be calculated through the curvature radius of the B-spline curve. Finally, based on this algorithm, a path created program is applied to the path results of the A* algorithm and this B-spline curve algorithm. After that, the final path results are compared through the simulation.

In applications of adaptive noise control or active noise control, the presence of a transfer function in the secondary path following the adaptive controller and the error path, been shown to generally degrade the performance of the Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm. Thus, the convergence rate is lowered, the residual power is increased, and the algorithm can become unstable. In general, in order to solve these problems, the filtered-x LMS (FX-LMS) type algorithms can be used. But these algorithms have slow convergence speed and weakness in the environment that the secondary path and error path are varied. Therefore, I present the new algorithm called the "Bi-directional Filtered-x (BFX) LMS" algorithm with nearly equal computation complexity. Through experimental study, the proposed BFX-LMS algorithm has better convergence speed and better performance than the conventional FX-LMS algorithm, especially when the secondary path or error path is varied and the impulsive disturbance is flow in.

A robot education system by emulation based on Web can be efficiently used for understanding concept of robot assembly practice and control mechanism of robot by control programming. It is important to predict the path of the line tracer robot which has to be decided by the robot. Shortest Path Algorithm is a well known algorithm which searches the most efficient path between the start node and the end node. There are two related typical algorithms. Dijkstra Algorithm searches the shortest path tree from a node to the rest of the other nodes. $A^*$ Algorithm searches the shortest paths among all nodes. The delay time caused by turning the direction of navigation for the line tracer robot at the crossroads can give big differences to the travel time of the robot. So we need an efficient path determine algorithm which can solve this problem. Thus, It is necessary to analyze the overhead of changing direction of robot at multi-linked node to determine the next direction for efficient routings. In this paper, we reflect the real delay time of directional changing from the real robot. A speed based Dijkstra algorithm is proposed and compared with the previous ones to analyze the performance.

This paper employs fuzzy variables instead of deterministic variables for job times in a project network. A fuzzy variable has its value restricted by a possibility distribution. This paper utilizes the triangular possibility distribution which has three estimated times. That is normal, resonable, and crash job times. This paper develops a fuzzy k-longest path algorithm, by utilizing the k-longest path algorithm. This algorithm will be useful to control the project the project network by considering the project completion possibility.

In this paper, an effective path generation algorithm for obstacle avoidance producing small amount of steering action as possible is proposed. The proposed path generation algorithm can reduce unnecessary steering because of the small lateral changes in generated waypoints when UGV (Unmanned Ground Vehicle) encounters obstacles during its waypoint navigation. To verify this, the proposed algorithm and $A^*$ algorithm are analyzed through the simulation. The proposed algorithm shows good performance in terms of lateral changes in the generated waypoint, steering changes of the vehicle while driving and execution speed of the algorithm. Especially, due to the fast execution speed of the algorithm, the obstacles that encounter suddenly in front of the vehicle within short range can be avoided. This algorithm consider the waypoint navigation only. Therefore, in certain situations, the algorithm may generate the wrong path. In this case, a general path generation algorithm like $A^*$ is used instead. However, these special cases happen very rare during the vehicle waypoint navigation, so the proposed algorithm can be applied to most of the waypoint navigation for the unmanned ground vehicle.

The exhaust noise reduction of automobile with the active muffler is experimentally investigated. The control algorithm is the filtered-x LMS algorithm and the inverse algorithm with the adaptive line enhancer. Also, the control efficiency is increased with synthesized second harmonic engine frequency. In the experiment, the active muffler is applied to the end of exhaust system in automobile and the control with on-line secondary path modeling method(inverse algorithm) is compared the control of off-line secondary path modeling method. As secondary path transfer functions are changed, the experimental results show that the control performance with on-line method is more efficient than that with off-line method in the exhaust noise reduction of automobile.

This paper addresses an algorithm of path planning for autonomous driving of a ground vehicle in waypoint navigation. The proposed algorithm is flexible in utilization under a large GPS positioning error and generates collision-free multiple paths while pursuing minimum traveling time. An optimal path reduces inefficient steering by minimizing lateral changes in generated waypoints along a path. Simulation results compare the proposed algorithm with the A* algorithm by manipulation of the steering wheel and traveling time, and show that the proposed algorithm realizes real-time obstacle avoidance by quick processing of path generation, and minimum time traveling by producing paths with small lateral changes while overcoming the very irregular positioning error from the GPS.

Path planning is an important task for optimal motion of a robot in structured or unstructured environment. The goal of this paper is to plan the shortest collision-free path in 3D, when a robot is navigated to pick up some tools or to repair some parts from various locations. To accomplish the goal of this paper, the Path Coordinator is proposed to have the capabilities of an obstacle avoidance strategy[3] and a traveling salesman problem strategy(TSP)[23]. The obstacle avoidance strategy is to plan the shortest collision-free path between each pair of n locations in 2D or in 3D. The TSP strategy is to compute a minimal system cost of a tour that is defined as a closed path navigating each location exactly once. The TSP strategy can be implemented by the Neural Network. The obstacle avoidance strategy in 2D can be implemented by the VGraph Algorithm. However, the VGraph Algorithm is not useful in 3D, because it can't compute the global optimality in 3D. Thus, the Path Coordinator is proposed to solve this problem, having the capabilities of selecting the optimal edges by the modified Genetic Algorithm[21] and computing the optimal nodes along the optimal edges by the Recursive Compensation Algorithm[5].
