A very interesting and useful velocity control system has been designed for a wheelchair control system. A proposed system utilizing velocity sensors mounted in a headgear is shown in Figure 1.The headgear sensor provides an output proportional to the magnitude of the head movement. There is a sensor mounted at 90° intervals so that forward, left, right, or reverse can be commanded. \text { Typical values for the time constants are } \tau_{1}=0.5 \mathrm{~s}, \mathrm{t}_{2}=1 . \mathrm{s}, \text { and } \tau_{3}=0.25 \mathrm{~s} (a) Determine the limiting gain K = K¡K2K3 for a stable system. (b) When the gain K is set equal to one-third (1/3) of the limiting value, determine whetherthe settling time (to within 2% of the final value of the system) is T§< 4 s. (c) Determine the value of gain that results in a system with a settling time of Ts<4 s. Also,obtain the value of the roots of the characteristic equation when the settling time is Ts<4 s.

The open-loop transfer function of a robot arm drive might be approximated G(s) H(s)=\frac{2 K(s+0.5 a)}{(s+3)\left(s^{2}+4 s+8\right)}, a, K>0 Use the Routh-Hurwitz criterion to show that for sufficiently small a, the system is stable for all(positive) values of K. Let a = 15. Show that the system becomes unstable for sufficiently large K, and find all the roots of the system when it is marginally stable. Mention the frequency of oscillation in Hz. For the values in ii), where the system is marginally stable, plot the system's step response (assume unity gain feedback), and show that there is a sustained oscillation at the frequency in ii) A sample is shown below
