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....

Approximation of Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithms

Krzysztof Tchoń, Joanna Karpińska, Mariusz Janiak (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper addresses the synthesis problem of Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithms for stationary manipulators and mobile robots. Special attention is paid to the design of extended Jacobian algorithms that approximate the Jacobian pseudoinverse algorithm. Two approaches to the approximation problem are developed: one relies on variational calculus, the other is differential geometric. Example designs of the extended Jacobian inverse kinematics algorithm for 3DOF manipulators as well as for the...

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...

Consensus seeking of delayed high-order multi-agent systems with predictor-based algorithm

Cheng-Lin Liu, Fei Liu (2018)

Kybernetika

This paper investigates the high-order consensus problem for the multi-agent systems with agent's dynamics described by high-order integrator, and adopts a general consensus algorithm composed of the states' coordination control. Under communication delay, consensus algorithm in usual asynchronously-coupled form just can make the agents achieve a stationary consensus, and sufficient consensus condition is obtained based on frequency-domain analysis. Besides, a predictor-based consensus algorithm...

Consensus-based impact-time-control guidance law for cooperative attack of multiple missiles

Qing Zhu, Xiaoli Wang, Qianyu Lin (2017)

Kybernetika

In this paper, a new guidance problem with the impact time constraint for cooperative attack of multiple missiles is investigated, which can be applied to salvo attack of anti-ship missiles. It can be used to guide multiple missiles to hit a stationary target simultaneously at a desirable impact time. The considered impact time control problem can be transformed into a range tracking problem. Then the range tracking problem can be viewed a consensus problem of multi-missile systems. As the application...

Control of a team of mobile robots based on non-cooperative equilibria with partial coordination

Krzysztof Skrzypczyk (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this work we present an application of the concept of non-cooperative game equilibria to the design of a collision free movement of a team of mobile robots in a dynamic environment. We propose the solution to the problem of feasible control synthesis, based on a partially centralized sensory system. The control strategy based on the concept of non-cooperative game equilibria is well known in the literature. It is highly efficient through phases where the solution is unique. However, even in simple...

Design of passive fault-tolerant controllers of a quadrotor based on sliding mode theory

Abdel-Razzak Merheb, Hassan Noura, François Bateman (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper, sliding mode control is used to develop two passive fault tolerant controllers for an AscTec Pelican UAV quadrotor. In the first approach, a regular sliding mode controller (SMC) augmented with an integrator uses the robustness property of variable structure control to tolerate partial actuator faults. The second approach is a cascaded sliding mode controller with an inner and outer SMC loops. In this configuration, faults are tolerated in the fast inner loop controlling the velocity...

Dynamic external force feedback loop control of a robot manipulator using a neural compensator - Application to the trajectory following in an unknown environment

Farid Ferguene, Redouane Toumi (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Force/position control strategies provide an effective framework to deal with tasks involving interaction with the environment. One of these strategies proposed in the literature is external force feedback loop control. It fully employs the available sensor measurements by operating the control action in a full dimensional space without using selection matrices. The performance of this control strategy is affected by uncertainties in both the robot dynamic model and environment stiffness. The purpose...

Efficient RGB-D data processing for feature-based self-localization of mobile robots

Marek Kraft, Michał Nowicki, Rudi Penne, Adam Schmidt, Piotr Skrzypczyński (2016)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The problem of position and orientation estimation for an active vision sensor that moves with respect to the full six degrees of freedom is considered. The proposed approach is based on point features extracted from RGB-D data. This work focuses on efficient point feature extraction algorithms and on methods for the management of a set of features in a single RGB-D data frame. While the fast, RGB-D-based visual odometry system described in this paper builds upon our previous results as to the general...

Finite horizon nonlinear predictive control by the Taylor approximation application to robot tracking trajectory

Ramdane Hedjar, Redouane Toumi, Patrick Boucher, Didier Dumur (2005)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In industrial control systems, practical interest is driven by the fact that today's processes need to be operated under tighter performance specifications. Often these demands can only be met when process nonlinearities are explicitly considered in the controller. Nonlinear predictive control, the extension of well-established linear predictive control to nonlinear systems, appears to be a well-suited approach for this kind of problems. In this paper, an optimal nonlinear predictive control structure,...
