AI-Assisted Gain Scheduling for Real-Time Temperature Control in Chemical Reactors
Abstract: Temperature control in continuous stirred-tank reactors (CSTR) represents a critical challenge in chemical process industries due to inherent nonlinearities, time-varying dynamics, and parametric uncertainties. Conventional proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers with fixed gains often fail to maintain optimal performance across varying operating conditions, leading to temperature excursions that compromise product quality and safety. This paper presents a novel AI-assisted gain scheduling framework that integrates artificial neural networks (ANN) with adaptive PID control …

Development and Investigation of Minimum Power Non-contact Swirl Vane Gripper
Abstract: The Swirl vane gripper is a new non-contact gripper, which uses negative pressure created by the air swirling flow to create an upward lifting force. This upward force can be used to lift an object, which is placed underneath the gripper. In comparison with other non-contact grippers, this gripper is electrically actuated (rather than pneumatically) and hence require less power to generate same lifting force as produced by other grippers. …
