  • Comparison of MCTS, MCDDQ, MCDDQ-SA, Greedy algorithms in the context of the problem of parallel planning of machine loading in production

    This paper considers the problem of task scheduling in manufacturing systems with multiple machines operating in parallel. Four approaches to solving this problem are proposed: pure Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), a hybrid MCDDQ agent combining reinforcement learning based on Double Deep Q-Network (DDQN) and Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS), an improved MCDDQ-SA agent integrating the Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm to improve the quality of solutions, and a greedy algorithm (Greedy). A model of the environment is developed that takes into account machine speeds and task durations. A comparative study of the effectiveness of methods based on the makespan (maximum completion time) and idle time metrics is conducted. The results demonstrate that MCDDQ-SA provides the best balance between scheduling quality and computational efficiency due to adaptive exploration of the solution space. Analytical tools for evaluating the dynamics of the algorithms are presented, which emphasizes their applicability to real manufacturing systems.

  • Modelling and simulation of quadrocopter control using cascaded PID controller in Matlab

    The problem of modeling the dynamics and control of a quadrotor using a cascade control system based on a proportional‐integral‐derivative controller is considered. The main subject of the study is the development and simulation of a system that ensures the stable positioning of the quadrotor in the presence of external disturbances and limitations in the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle. The object of the research is the quadrotor as an unmanned aerial vehicle, while the subject is the cascade control system comprising an outer controller responsible for correcting position errors and an inner controller that maintains the stability of the vehicle’s orientation. The aim of the study is to create a mathematical model of the quadrotor’s dynamics and to implement a cascade control algorithm capable of converting position errors into control commands for adjusting the tilt angles. The work employs methods of mathematical modeling, discrete integration of the equations of motion, and cascade control algorithms implemented in MATLAB software. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed control system significantly reduces the discrepancy between the current position of the vehicle and the specified target point, ensuring flight stability. However, residual errors have been identified, which are associated with the approximated models of motor dynamics and limitations on the maximum tilt angle, thereby necessitating further optimization of the control algorithms. The main conclusion of the study is that the developed cascade control system represents an effective solution for improving the positioning accuracy of the quadrotor and opens prospects for further research in the control of unmanned aerial vehicles

  • Methods for solving the linear cutting problem with minimization of knives' changes

    In this article, an analysis of the main methods for solving the linear cutting problem (LCP) with the criterion of minimizing the number of knife rearrangements is presented. The linear cutting problem in its general form represents an optimization problem that involves placing given types of material (rolls) in such a way as to minimize waste and/or maximize the use of raw materials, taking into account constraints on the number of knives, the width of the master roll, and the required orders. This article discusses a specific case of the problem with an additional condition for minimizing knives' changes and the following approaches for its solution: the exhaustive search method, which ensures finding a global optimal solution but can be extremely inefficient for problems with a large number of orders, as well as random search based on genetic and evolutionary algorithms that model natural selection processes to find good solutions.

  • Methods for solving the problem of slowing down the operating cycle of the controller when the program volume increases

    The article discusses options for solving the problem of slowing down the operating cycle of programmable logic controllers that occurs when implementing complex algorithms. For most modern programmable logic controllers, the operating cycle directly depends on the volume of the user program. The program is executed pseudo-parallel, so the complexity of the algorithm affects the slowdown of the cycle indirectly, through an increase in the code volume. The growth of the program leads to a slowdown in the controller's response to changes in the state of the inputs. In some cases, controller developers provide programmers with options that allow them to disrupt the natural order of the operating cycle, thereby reducing the response time. The advantages and disadvantages of such methods are discussed in detail in this article. As an alternative way to reduce the controller's response time, the possibility of transferring the execution of a part of the algorithm to the operator's touch panel is considered. Modern touch panels, in addition to their main task - implementing the human-machine interface, have many additional functions, including the ability to use macros. The main functionality of macros is given and the possibility of exchanging data between the controller and the panel is demonstrated. This feature is a prerequisite for delegating some of the functions of the panel controller. The limitations and risks that arise when using this approach are discussed in detail, and situations in which it is preferable to use this method are identified.

  • Investigation of 3D printer cooling fan speed control as a means of reducing volatile organic compound emissions

    This study examines the control of the cooling fan speed as an effective means of reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds during three-dimensional layer-by-layer printing. The high extrusion temperatures used in modern high-speed printers lead to emissions of harmful volatile organic compounds, which poses health risks in poorly ventilated rooms. A mathematical model has been developed to establish a quadratic relationship between the fan speed and the volumetric air flow, which directly affects the deposition of volatile organic compounds on the melt surface. The experimental setup uses relay control of the motor current and proportional-integral-differentiating speed control, ensuring rapid stabilization of the air flow with minimal overshoot. From the analysis of transient characteristics, including motor current, fan speed, airflow velocity, and power consumption, it is shown that precise control of fan speed creates stable and predictable airflow movement, significantly reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds. In addition, the results show that integrating the feedback of the volatile organic compounds sensor in real time with the control of the extrusion rate can offer an even more adaptive and effective strategy for reducing emissions. This research lays the foundation for safer and more efficient 3D printing processes with layer-by-layer deposition modeling through improved temperature and emission management.
