1. Please answer the questions about the following design problems.
(Input, Output, Controller, Measurement, and Process (or Plant) must be indicated well.)
a. The role of air traffic control systems is increasing as airplane traffic increases at busy airports.
Engineers are developing air traffic control systems and collision avoidance systems using the
Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation satellites. GPS allows each aircraft to know its
position in the airspace landing corridor very precisely. Sketch a block diagram depicting how an
air traffic controller might use GPS for aircraft collision avoidance. (10 points)
b. The robotic vacuum cleaner depicted in the following figure is an example of a mechatronic system
under active control that relies on infrared sensors and microchip technology to navigate around
furniture. Describe a closed-loop feedback control system that guides the robotic vacuum
cleaner to avoid collisions with obstacles. (10 points)

(15 points)
2. Over a large range of variable values, the system can be described linearly. A system with amplifier
saturation is one such example. Given the differential equation.

assume that f(x) is as shown in the following figure. Write the differential equation for each of the
following ranges of x.

3. A feedback control system has the structure shown in the following figure.
a. Determine the closed-loop transfer function Y(s)/R(s). (15 points)
b. Select the gains K1 and K2 so that the closed-loop response to a step input is critically damped with
two equal roots at s = -10. (10 points)

(20 points)
4. Solve for y(t) for the following system represented in state space, where u(t) is the unit step. (Use the
Laplace transform approach to solve the state equation.)

(20 points)
5. An automatic depth-control system for a robot submarine is shown in the following figure. The depth is
measured. by a pressure transducer. The gain of the stern plane actuator is K = 1 when the vertical
velocity is 25 m/s. The submarine has the transfer function
(𝑠 + 1)2
G s =
𝑠2 + 1
and the feedback transducer is H(s) = 2s + 1. Determine the closed-loop transfer function and a state
variable representation for the system.
