Manually defined control limits remain a common strategy for quality control in manufacturing due to their ease of deployment on the shop floor compared to more advanced data analysis approaches. Despite their continued importance, there is no systematic method of defining these control limits. However, sub-optimal control limits can lead to undetected faults or cause unnecessary interruption to production. This manuscript presents an algorithm that systematizes this manual process into an efficient search task. We conceptualized the search task as a sequence of sub-problems that are based on the conventional steps taken by process experts when defining control limits. This algorithm can be integrated into an expert tool for shop floor personnel to automate the definition of control limits in annotated time series data. We demonstrate the efficacy of the control limits found by our algorithm by comparing them to those manually defined by process experts in real-world process data from the automotive industry. Furthermore, we show that our algorithm generalizes to traditional time series classification problems and achieves state-of-the-art performance on selected benchmark datasets. Our work is the first effort in automating the otherwise manual definition of control limits for fault detection.

Least squares pose estimation of cylinder axes from multiple views using contour line features
(2015)
In this paper, a new method for a minimum-error pose estimation of cylinder axes based on apparent contour line features from multiple views is presented. Novel model equations for both single and particularly multiple views are derived, and based upon these, an iterative algorithm for least squares fitting the model to imaged cylinder contour line features is introduced. The good performance and fast convergence of the proposed algorithm is shown by solving exemplary fitting problems.
Modeling, identification and control of an antagonistically actuated joint for telerobotic systems
(2015)
Within this paper a modeling, identification and control technique for an antagonistically actuated joint consisting of two pneumatically actuated muscles is presented. The antagonistically actuated joint acts as a test bench for control architectures which are going to be used to control an exoskeleton within a telerobotic system. A static and dynamic model of the muscle and the joint is derived and the parameters of the models are identified using a least-squares algorithm. The control architecture, consisting of a inner pressure and an outer position controller is presented. The pressure controller is evaluated using switching valves compared against proportional valves.
This paper discusses modeling and nonlinear control of a joint antagonistically actuated by two pneumatic, artificial muscles. A single model of the whole system is obtained by a combined physical and phenomenological modeling approach. The combined model for the joint, the muscles and the proportional valves results in a nonlinear, affine-in-control system description. The model is used to derive control laws for an input/output linearization approach to linearize the plant. Modeling and parametrization errors are covered via an outer control loop consisting of a state-feedback which is extended by an additional feedback of error integral. Extensive experimental results show the quality of the model and the performance of the respective control laws.
In smart manufacturing environments robots collaborate with human operators as peers. They even share the same working space and time. An intuitive interaction with different input modalities is decisive to reduce workload and training periods for collaboration. We introduce our interaction system that is able to recognize gestures, actions and objects in a typical smart working scenario. As key aspect, this article considers an empirical investigation of input modalities (touch, gesture), individual differences (performance, recognition rate, previous knowledge) and boundary conditions (level of automation) on user experience. Therefore, answers from 31 participants within two experiments are collected. We show that the arrangement of the human-robot collaboration (input modalities, boundary conditions) has a significant effect on user experience in real-world environments. This effect and the individual differences between participants can be measured utilizing recognition rates and standardized usability questionnaires.
