Model-based controllers using a linearized model around the system's equilibrium point is a common approach in the control of a wheeled humanoid due to their less computational load and ease of stability analysis. However, controlling a wheeled humanoid robot while it lifts an unknown object presents significant challenges, primarily due to the lack of knowledge in object dynamics. This paper presents a framework designed for predicting the new equilibrium point explicitly to control a wheeled-legged robot with unknown dynamics. We estimated the total mass and center of mass of the system from its response to initially unknown dynamics, then calculated the new equilibrium point accordingly. To avoid using additional sensors (e.g., force torque sensor) and reduce the effort of obtaining expensive real data, a data-driven approach is utilized with a novel real-to-sim adaptation. A more accurate nonlinear dynamics model, offering a closer representation of real-world physics, is injected into a rigid-body simulation for real-to-sim adaptation. The nonlinear dynamics model parameters were optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization. The efficacy of this framework was validated on a physical wheeled inverted pendulum, a simplified model of a wheeled-legged robot. The experimental results indicate that employing a more precise analytical model with optimized parameters significantly reduces the gap between simulation and reality, thus improving the efficiency of a model-based controller in controlling a wheeled robot with unknown dynamics.

This paper explores the application of X-ray-guided magnetic fields for the wireless control of untethered magnetic robots (UMRs) within cerebral vascular phantoms. With a focus on addressing challenges associated with strokes and brain aneurysms, the study aims to enhance neurosurgical procedures by improving precision and maneuverability. Experimental findings showcase the feasibility and effectiveness of this innovative approach in navigating UMRs, characterized by a screw-shaped body and a ferromagnetic core, through complex vascular structures. Cone-beam computed tomography is employed to determine the tomography and provide various reference trajectories for the UMR inside the cerebral vascular phantom. Our motion control experiments show that the X-ray-guided magnetic fields enable the UMR to move along any intended path with an average success rate of 89%, allowing the UMR to move between the left and right common carotid artery to the left and right internal and external carotid artery.

The computing hardware and software tools for virtualizing and isolating execution environments have matured, enabling a paradigm shift towards cloud computing and containerization. Unfortunately, the use of these technologies in traditional computing is largely limited to servers and systems administered by professional IT teams. At another extreme, mobile device operating systems extensively leverage isolation to prevent malicious activity from mobile applications. In stark contrast, despite possessing the resources to support virtual machines, traditional endpoint systems tend to have a single execution environment for all of a user's activity. In this work, we explore the usability challenges that may prevent widespread use of isolation mechanisms, such as virtual machines, on traditional computing endpoints. We explore systems using a common workflow, where a user wants to experiment with a new software tool, to compare existing virtualization systems and motivate a new design. We use keystrokelevel modeling to quantitatively compare systems and identify optimization opportunities.

Currently, several studies are being developed using machine Learning with the aim of replacing real sensors with virtual sensors. One of the biggest challenges is obtaining quality data to enable the system modeling. This article proposes the replacement of a light dependent resistor sensor, applied to a refrigerator, which detects whether the door is open or closed and an anomaly test when the door is forgotten open for too long. The use of tiny machine learning is applied to ESP32 to enable the use of regression and classification models to detect the door opening and anomaly. The tested metrics for the regression were the root mean squared error. The comparative results between the virtual and real sensors are satisfactory with an accuracy of 99.59% for classification and a root mean squared error value of 0.01 for regression. Furthermore, a prototype was developed, and the model was embedded in the ESP32 microcontroller.

Teleoperating bipedal humanoid robots presents unique challenges, including decreased stability and reduced operator presence. This paper addresses these challenges by proposing a method that leverages the operator's inherent sense of stability by feedback from a sole haptics display to operate a bipedal humanoid robot. We developed a bilateral control system that integrates a device replicating sole haptics feedback and provides the operator with feedback on changes in the robot's center of gravity. We conducted operating experiments in the forward-backward direction to evaluate its effectiveness and investigate the effectiveness of sole haptics on robot operation. The results demonstrate that operating with both vision and sole haptics feedback significantly reduces the robot's fall rate by over 56% when disturbances are applied, compared to using only vision feedback. Moreover, operators reported a 21% higher sense of presence with both vision and sole haptics feedback compared to using only vision feedback.

This paper deals with the robust control of fullyactuated robots subject to joint position, velocity and acceleration bounds. Robotic systems are subject to disturbances, which may arise from modeling errors, sensor noises or communication delays. This work presents mathematical and computational tools to ensure the robust satisfaction of joint bounds in the control of robot manipulators. We consider a system subject to bounded additive disturbances on the control inputs, with constant joint position, velocity and acceleration bounds. We compute the robust viability kernel, which is the set of states such that, starting from any such state, it is possible to avoid violating the constraints in the future, despite the presence of disturbances. Then we develop an efficient algorithm to compute the range of feasible accelerations that allow the state to remain inside the robust viability kernel. Our derivation ensures the continuous-time robust satisfaction of the joint bounds, while considering the discrete-time nature of the control inputs. Tests are performed in simulation with a single joint and a 6-DOF robot manipulator, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed approach compared to other state-of-the-art methods.

The noteworthy increase in processing power of computers with the excess of open software and hardware standards has significantly changed the landscape in the field of 3D virtual robotics simulation platforms. Employing software computing tools, such as fuzzy logic, neural networks, and genetic algorithms, encouraged researchers to design intelligentsystems that mimic human behavior. Designing a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) control system using Adaptive Nuero-Fuzzy System (ANFIS) offers easy and reliable solutions to generate the desired outputs without the need for a complex mathematical model. This paper shows a MATLAB-based MIMO ANFIS control system for two different robotic systems: a two-wheel drive (2WD) mobile robot and a six-degree of freedom (6DOF) robotic arm. The Virtual Robot Experimentation Platform (V-Rep) has been used to test the designed systems through a direct interface with the MATLAB Simulink. The results showed an acceptable error value of 0.002% in generating the desired outputs of the 2WD robot. On the other hand, the performance of the implemented ANFIS controller for the 6DOF robotic arm showed a high error value of 30% if the proposed method is used to design MIMO-ANFIS control system.
