A biologically inspired approach to feasible gait learning for a hexapod robot

Dominik Belter, Piotr Skrzypczyński (2010)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The objective of this paper is to develop feasible gait patterns that could be used to control a real hexapod walking robot. These gaits should enable the fastest movement that is possible with the given robot's mechanics and drives on a flat terrain. Biological inspirations are commonly used in the design of walking robots and their control algorithms. However, legged robots differ significantly from their biological counterparts. Hence we believe that gait patterns should be learned using the...

A comparison of Jacobian-based methods of inverse kinematics for serial robot manipulators

Ignacy Dulęba, Michał Opałka (2013)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The objective of this paper is to present and make a comparative study of several inverse kinematics methods for serial manipulators, based on the Jacobian matrix. Besides the well-known Jacobian transpose and Jacobian pseudo-inverse methods, three others, borrowed from numerical analysis, are presented. Among them, two approximation methods avoid the explicit manipulability matrix inversion, while the third one is a slightly modified version of the Levenberg-Marquardt method (mLM). Their comparison...

A family of hyperbolic-type control schemes for robot manipulators

Fernando Reyes-Cortes, Olga Felix-Beltran, Jaime Cid-Monjaraz, Gweni Alonso-Aruffo (2019)

Kybernetika

This paper deals with the global position control problem of robot manipulators in joint space, a new family of control schemes consisting of a suitable combination of hyperbolic functions is presented. The proposed control family includes a large class of bounded hyperbolic-type control schemes to drive both position error and derivative action terms plus gravity compensation. To ensure global asymptotic stability of closed-loop system equilibrium point, we propose an energy-shaping based strict...

A generalised proportional-derivative force/vision controller for torque-driven planar robotic manipulators

Carlos Vidrios-Serrano, Marco Mendoza, Isela Bonilla, Berenice Maldonado-Fregoso (2020)

Kybernetika

In this paper, a family of hybrid control algorithms is presented; where it is merged a free camera-calibration image-based control scheme and a direct force controller, both with the same priority level. The aim of this generalised hybrid controller is to regulate the robot-environment interaction into a two-dimensional task-space. The design of the proposed control structure takes into account most of the dynamic effects present in robot manipulators whose inputs are torque signals. As examples...

A Lyapunov-based design tool of impedance controllers for robot manipulators

Marco Mendoza, Isela Bonilla, Fernando Reyes, Emilio González-Galván (2012)

Kybernetika

This paper presents a design tool of impedance controllers for robot manipulators, based on the formulation of Lyapunov functions. The proposed control approach addresses two challenges: the regulation of the interaction forces, ensured by the impedance error converging to zero, while preserving a suitable path tracking despite constraints imposed by the environment. The asymptotic stability of an equilibrium point of the system, composed by full nonlinear robot dynamics and the impedance control,...

A multi-agent system based on fuzzy logic applied to RoboCup's environment.

Eugenio Aguirre, Juan Carlos Gámez, Antonio González (2001)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Artificial Intelligent has been applied successfully to many and varied domains. In particular, the recent steps forward which are been producing in the development of dynamic, collaborative, real time and adversarial multi-agent environments are very interesting. In this work, we carry out a proposal, which uses a soccer robot simulator, called TeamBots, that simulates the RoboCup Small'', involved into the RoboCup World Championship''. The objective is to bring a team into operation, even though,...

Application of Fractional Calculus in the Dynamical Analysis and Control of Mechanical Manipulators

Ferreira, N., Duarte, Fernando, Lima, Miguel, Marcos, Maria, Machado, J. (2008)

Fractional Calculus and Applied Analysis

Mathematics Subject Classification: 26A33, 93C83, 93C85, 68T40Fractional Calculus (FC) goes back to the beginning of the theory of differential calculus. Nevertheless, the application of FC just emerged in the last two decades. In the field of dynamical systems theory some work has been carried out but the proposed models and algorithms are still in a preliminary stage of establishment. This article illustrates several applications of fractional calculus in robot manipulator path planning and control....

Bio-inspired decentralized autonomous robot mobile navigation control for multi agent systems

Alejandro Rodriguez-Angeles, Luis-Fernando Vazquez Chavez (2018)

Kybernetika

This article proposes a decentralized navigation controller for a group of differential mobile robots that yields autonomous navigation, which allows reaching a certain desired position with a specific desired orientation, while avoiding collisions with dynamic and static obstacles. The navigation controller is constituted by two control loops, the so-called external control loop is based on crowd dynamics, it brings autonomous navigation properties to the system, the internal control loop transforms...

Combining odometry and visual loop-closure detection for consistent topo-metrical mapping

S. Bazeille, D. Filliat (2010)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

We address the problem of simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) by combining visual loop-closure detection with metrical information given by a robot odometry. The proposed algorithm extends a purely appearance-based loop-closure detection method based on bags of visual words [A. Angeli, D. Filliat, S. Doncieux and J.-A. Meyer, IEEE Transactions On Robotics, Special Issue on Visual SLAM 24 (2008) 1027–1037], which is able to detect when the robot has returned back to a previously visited...

Design of a neuro-sliding mode controller for interconnected quadrotor UAVs carrying a suspended payload

Özhan Bingöl, Haci Mehmet Güzey (2023)

Kybernetika

In this study, a generalized system model is derived for interconnected quadrotor UAVs carrying a suspended payload. Moreover, a novel neural network-based sliding mode controller (NSMC) for the system is suggested. While the proposed controller uses the advantages of the robust structure of sliding mode controller (SMC) for the nonlinear system, the neural network component eliminates the chattering effects in the control signals of the SMC and increases the efficiency of the SMC against time-varying...

Dynamic gridmaps: comparing building techniques.

José María Cañas, Vicente Matellán (2006)

Mathware and Soft Computing

Mobile robots need to represent obstacles in their surroundings, even moving ones, to make right movement decisions. For higher autonomy the robot should automatically build such representation from its sensory input. This paper compares the dynamic character of several gridmap building techniques: probabilistic, fuzzy, theory of evidence and histogramic. Two criteria are defined to rank such dynamism in the representation: time to show a new obstacle and time to show a new hole. The update rules...

Fuzzy controller for obstacle-avoidance with a non-holonomous mobile robot.

Uribe 1, Juan Pedro, Joseba Urzelai (1998)

Mathware and Soft Computing

This paper describes the design and development of a sensor based navigation system which makes it possible for a non-holonomous mobile robot to avoid obstacles using information on its environment picked up by a belt of ultrasonic sensors. To control the robot no preliminary information regarding its environment is required, the robot adapts to them through the information gathered on the spot by the ultrasonic sensors and the information released from a spatial memory. The controller, which allows...
