Figure 5.34 Distribution <strong>of</strong> the total number <strong>of</strong> cuts based on their<br />

distance from the plant centre position <strong>for</strong> a series <strong>of</strong><br />

experiments with the experiment with acceleration and<br />

deceleration <strong>of</strong> the <strong>for</strong>ward speed<br />

Another result attained from an experiment with intensive acceleration <strong>of</strong> the<br />

<strong>for</strong>ward speed is shown in Figure 5.35. The aim <strong>of</strong> this experiment was to prove<br />

if the <strong>system</strong> could be stabilised after a significant change <strong>of</strong> the speed. In<br />

graph 2 (Figure 5.35) response <strong>of</strong> the <strong>system</strong> with delay can be observed <strong>for</strong><br />

the first time. The cuts were shifted toward the <strong>for</strong>ward direction endangering<br />

the protected area, what is visible on the highlighted part <strong>of</strong> the trajectory.<br />
