Tummala, R.L. “Section X – Systems” The Electrical Engineering Handbook Ed. Richard C. Dorf Boca Raton: CRC Press LLC, 2000 This small robotic rover has been sent to Mars inside the Mars Pathfinder lander which was launched from Kennedy Space Center on December 4, 1996. Known as Sojourner, this compact, semi-autonomous six-wheeler will become the first vehicle to traverse the Martian surface. The rover weighs just 22 lb (10 kg) and when fully deployed is 11 in. (280 mm) high, 25 in. (630 mm) long, and 19 in. (480 mm) wide. It is equipped with three cameras and an alpha proton x-ray spectrometer which must be in contact with rocks or soil to measure elemental composition. A sensor detects alpha particle scattering and proton and x-ray emissions. Sojourner runs on a solar array, sufficient to power the rover for several hours per day, even in the worst dust storms. The rover control system features operator designation of targets and autonomous control to reach targets and perform tasks. The instructions will be sent to the rover from a controller on earth. The onboard control system is built around an Intel 80C85 processor, which is an 8-bit processor and runs at about 100,000 instructions per second. Landers and rovers of the future will share the heritage of Mars Pathfinder designs and technologies first tested during this mission.

Lal Tummala Michigan State University UNDAMENTAL IDEAS, CONCEPTS, AND TOOLS developed in system theory have contributed sig- nificantly to the breakthroughs in aerospace, manufacturing, and medicine, to name a few. In 1990, the National Academy of Engineering identified ten outstanding engineering achievements of the preceding 25 years. These feats included five accomplishments made possible by utilizing modern system theory: Apollo lunar landings, satellites, computer-based manufacturing, computer axial tomography, and the jumbo jet. At present, these ideas are being extended to increase the productivity of the manufacturing sector, improve highway safety, increase fuel efficiency of automobiles, and design and produce environmentally friendly products. This section discusses conceptual approaches and tools of modern system theory and their applications. The key concepts for the analysis and design of linear and non-linear control systems: modeling, dynamic response, frequency response, root locus, compensation, digital control, describing functions, and phase plane are dis- cussed in Chapter 100. Application of these concepts to a variety of systems is discussed in the following chapters. These systems draw their name from their application, for example, vehicular systems. The topic discussed in Chapter 101 is robotics. A robot is a computer-based mechanical manipulator which can be programmed to perform a variety of tasks. The authors review modeling, control, and application of robots. Chapter 102 describes aerospace systems in avionics and their use in communication satellite systems. The next chapter reviews the command, control, and communication systems used to monitor and control military aerospace systems. Chapter 104 describes two key industrial systems: welding and bonding, and large drives. The authors describe modeling, sensor requirements, control system requirements, and implementation for these systems. Chapter 105 discusses man-machine systems and models used to analyze them. The next two chapters review the key characteristics and electronic controls for vehicular systems, and industrial illumination systems. Chapter 108 describes instruments, which are systems consisting of sensors and electronic circuits, usually for measurement applications. Modern approaches to navigation on the land, sea, or in the air are discussed in Chapter 109. Important topics such as reliability (Chapter 110) and environment (Chapter 111) are included to emphasize their improtance in the design of modern products and processes. With the advent of computer technology, system theory tools are widely available on the computer and the use of this is widespread and thus deserves special attention. Chapter 112 discusses this software. F
