We propose a new direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation method suitable for autonomous mobile robots. Autonomous mobile robots have to meet physical constraints of signal processing devices, such as a space-saving microphone arrangement and few computational resources. In addition, DOA estimation of the robots needs to be robust to noise around the robots. In order to cope with the physical constraints,...
The paper considers an example of mechanical system with high relative degree: a fully actuated robot with elastic joints and the related control problem. The considered system is characterized by a uniform relative degree five, assuming as available output only the joints' angles. Two different strategies can be exploited to address this control problem. A first possibility is to use a full order...
Many path planning systems designed for the use in autonomous mobile robots are based on cell decomposition methods combined with a subseguent graph search due to their efficiency and ease of handling. Furthermore, even more sophisticated methods such as the guadtree decomposition method can be applied prosperously Spline interpolation is often used to attain a feasible trajectory by interpolating...
As the first step in resolving stability of a manufacturing system in the sense of deadlock, calculation of circular waits might involve time and memory consuming calculations. In this paper we propose an efficient method for determination of circular waits in multiple-reentrant flowline class (MRF) of manufacturing systems. We introduce machine-job incidence (MJI) matrix that can be obtained from...
This paper is on obstacle avoidance of swarms of robots moving in certain geometric planar formations. Focus is given to a particular obstacle avoidance approach, which is based on the fluid mechanical principle known as the Circle Theorem. Considering the motion region as a fictitious fluid environment surrounding the obstacles, fluid streamlines are calculated which correspond to unique smooth paths...
The lack of research into Artificial Potential Field (APF) applications for planetary exploration drove the authors to put forward the following question: Can APF methods be used for autonomous navigation (path planning and control) of a surface robot in realistic planetary exploration scenarios? In order to answer that question, this paper presents a comprehensive review of different APF methods...
By using robust control techniques, this paper proposes an adaptive control for rigid robots with the following important features: under a parameter-dependent PE (Persistent Excitation) condition, it gives a guaranteed transient performance of tracking a smooth desired trajectory while assuring the parameter estimation error to go to a residual set of the origin arbitrarily fast. Simulations are...
In this paper, we use sliding mode control theory to design a 3D vision based controller that is robust to bounded parametric estimation errors. First, we give a model of an eye-in-hand 6 DOF robotic system, including the Pose Reconstruction Algorithm (PRA) used to estimate the position and orientation of the camera with respcet to the scene. In a second step, we propose a model for the uncertainties...
In this paper, the problem of a class of hyperredundant arms with continuum elements that performs the grasping function by coiling is discussed. This function is often met in the animal world as the elephant's trunk or octopus tentacle. First, the dynamic model in 3D-space is developed. The equations that describe the motion of the arm that carries a load by coiling are inferred. The stability of...
The problem of the path generation for the autonomous robot vehicle in environment with stationary and moving obstacles is considered. An algorithm, named MKBC, based on modified Kohonen rule and behavioral cloning is developed. The MKBC algorithm, as improvement of RBF neural network, uses the training values as weighting values, rather then values from the previous time. This enables an intelligent...
We investigate how unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with flexible wings can be designed to exploit the aeroelasticity of wing deformation that is present in bat wings, with a view to improve the efficiency of flight. We constructed a robotic bat wing with fully passive elastic wing-folding properties. The robotic wing is powered by a gearbox running two synchronised motors, effectively providing one...
This paper investigates the problem of practical finite-time trajectory tracking and practical finite-time stabilization of two important classes of dynamical systems by means of C(∞) feedbacks. It is shown that Hamiltonian mechanical systems and systems in strict feedback form can be made globally finite-time stable by smooth parameterized feedbacks. We show that we could bring all the trajectories...
We present a framework and algorithm to analyze first person RGBD videos captured from the robot while physically interacting with humans. Specifically, we explore reactions and interactions of persons facing a mobile robot from a robot centric view. This new perspective offers social awareness to the robots, enabling interesting applications. As far as we know, there is no public 3D dataset for this...
This paper describes a trust-based vehicle controller that can be tuned to ensure decentralized string stability in a convoy. The controller leverages the RoboTrust algorithm to mitigate risks associated with trust-based vulnerabilities, such as cyber attacks, poor decisions, and malfunctions. In our scenario, we simulate a simple convoy mission in which twelve vehicles move together between waypoints,...
This paper investigates the output tracking results of SISO time-delay system using the super-twisting sliding mode control approach. By a system transformation and Padé approximation, the output tracking of time-delay system is transformed into the tracking of a nonminimum phase system. Stable system centre approach is used to approximate this system by a stable one. All the tracking errors and errors...
The information mini-satellites (for communication, geodesy, radio- and opto-electronic observation of the Earth et al.) and the space free-flying robots (used for service of manned orbital space stations and for assembling the large space structures) have some principal problems with respect to their spatial guidance and control. In the paper these problems are considered and obtained results are...
An algorithm for the robust detection and recognition of gestures for the interaction between human and a domestic floor cleaner robot is presented. The gestures are selected through a user study, in which the participants are asked to show natural gestures to the robot in given specific interaction scenarios. The gestures selected are those repeated by majority of participants and consist both commanding...
Currently in robotics field, various new forms of robots are emerged that are different from existing robots. One of them is the mobile robot having a tensegrity structure. In this paper, the tensegrity is employed for a design of a mobile robot that can be used in irregular environment. But the tensegrity structure is highly nonlinear; so it is very difficult to control. In order to deal with this...
The technology of fingertip tracking is widely used in robot control field, the fingertip of robot can be accurately controlled. But the fingertip tracking is very complicated, there is much uncertainty for the speed and direction during the movement of fingertip, so the fingertip tracking technology becomes one key point in the robot control field. In the early, the feedback tracking algorithm was...
In this paper, we propose a multi-task scheduler by considering the underwater risk assessment for autonomous underwater vehicle. We divide the task scheduler into two parts: a path coordinator and a condition interpreter. The path coordinator finds the minimum cost sequence from several combinations of paths by using a genetic algorithm. The condition interpreter limits high risk paths such as obstacle...
