  • Publication number: 20230004170
    Abstract: A modular control system for controlling an AGV includes an interface, a processor, a memory, and a plurality of programs. The plurality of programs include a task scheduling module, a sensor fusion module, a mapping module, and a localization module. The interface receives a command signal from an AGV management system and sensor signals from a plurality of sensors. The memory stores a surrounding map and the plurality of programs to be executed by the processor. The task scheduling module converts the command signal to generate an enabling signal. The sensor fusion module processes the received sensor signals according to the enabling signal and generates an organized sensor data. The mapping module processes the organized sensor data and the surrounding map to generate an updated surrounding map. The localization module processes the organized sensor data and the updated surrounding map to generate a location and pose signal.

  • Patent number: 9312781
    Abstract: A control method is disclosed that involves controlling zero-crossing operation of bridge arms in a UPS, wherein the UPS has a rectifying bridge with first and second switching transistors, a midline bridge arm with third and fourth switching transitors, and an inverter bridge arm with fifth and sixth switching transitors. The midline and rectifying bridge arms are controlled to cross zero synchronously. The inverter bridge arm is controlled to be disconnected during a period before a zero-crossing point of the rectifying bridge arm to a period after the zero-crossing point of the rectifying bridge arm. The periods before and after the zero-crossing point of the rectifying bridge arm are time differences between the zero-crossing points of the inverter bridge arm and the rectifying bridge arm. The influence of asynchronous zero-crossing between the PFC circuit and the inverter circuit on the UPS performance indices may be reduced by using the present control method.
