The brachiation robot is a mobile robot which dynamically moves from branch to branch like a long-armed ape, swinging its body like a pendulum. Apes can learn such dynamic behaviors by trial and errors. In such fast motion, feedforward control is dominant and our brachiation robot generates feedforward control inputs by the proposed heuristic learning method. Also, the robotcontrols its swinging amplitude by the method based on a principle of parametric excitation. Experimental results show that the proposed method enables the robot to catch its target and to perform locomotion from any initial state.

In this paper a humanoid robot simulator based on the multi-robot simulation framework (MuRoSimF) is presented. Among the unique features of this simulator is the scalability in the level of physical detail in both the robot's motion and sensing systems. It facilitates the development of control software for humanoid robots which is demonstrated for several scenarios from the RoboCup Humanoid robot League. Different requirements exist for a humanoid robot simulator. E.g., testing of algorithms for motioncontrol and postural stability require high Fidelity of physical motion properties whereas testing of behavior control and role distribution for a robot team requires only a moderate level of detail for real-time simulation of multiple robots. To meet such very different requirements often different simulators are used which makes it necessary to model a robot multiple times and to integrate different simulations with high-level robotcontrol software. MuRoSimF provides the capability of exchanging the simulation algorithms used for each robot transparently. thus allowing a trade-off between computational performance and fidelity of the simulation. It is therefore possible to choose different simulation algorithms which are adequate for the needs of a given simulation experiment, for example, motion simulation of humanoid robots based on kinematical, simplified dynamics or full multi-body system dynamics algorithms. In this paper also the sensor simulation capabilities of MuRoSimF are revised. The methods for motion simulation and collision detection and handling are presented in detail including an algorithm which allows the real-time simulation of the full dynamics of a 21 DOF humanoid robot. Merits and drawbacks of the different algorithms are discussed in the light of different simulation purposes. The simulator performance is measured and illustrated in various examples, including comparison with experiments of a physical humanoid robot. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

In this paper, we propose a new environment model for legged robots. The model stores information about the shape of the obstacles and terrain type. We also propose the motion planner which takes into account terrain types when planning the motion of the robot. The planner is based on A* graph search method that guides RRT-Connect method for precise motion planning. With the proposed navigation system the robot is capable of planning its motion on the terrain with various terrain types and avoid regions which are potentially risky. Finally, we provide results of the experiments which show the properties of the proposed perception system and motion planner.

robots navigating in populated dynamic environments require dedicated motion planning algorithms. We propose a human-aware local trajectory planner that alleviates the discomfort of humans surrounding the robot. Our method relies on a hybrid approach to trajectory generation and employs cost functions evaluating robot navigation task performance, robotmotion naturalness, and humans' perceived safety. We compared our method with state-of-the-art classical and human-aware trajectory planners using the TIAGo robot in simulated and real-world environments. The algorithms tested were quantitatively assessed for both navigation performance and human discomfort using the Social robot Planner Benchmark. Our approach was implemented as an open source plugin for the local trajectory planner of the robot Operating System's navigation.

This paper presents a system development of biped walking robotcontrol cooperating with human visual motion. In past researches, the authors have developed several vision-based balance control methods for biped walking robot. By using head mount display (HMD) including motion sensor, the field of view of robot camera system can be changed, and cooperatively controlled by human remote input in vision-based balance controller. In this paper, a developed system structure and control system are presented, and several experimental results of motion tests as a first step of this research are shown.

This paper is focused on motioncontrol of a nonholonomic car-like robot. The main idea of the proposed control method is based on an approximate decoupling of phase-constrained kinematics in order to imitate an omni-directional robot. In order to facilitate the feedback design, the original kinematics is simplified and represented by a nilpotent homogeneous locally equivalent control system. Next, the algorithm exploiting transverse functions is formulated. It guarantees locally stable tracking of any trajectory which can be generated by an external navigator. The theoretical description of the control method is complemented by results of numerical simulations conducted for specific motion scenarios.

The paper presents the organisation of a companion robotcontrol system enabling external interruption of its activities. The fundamental problem is: how should a companion robot act when the currently executed task is not completed yet, however a next request arrives. The new request might not be yet serviced while a new request arrives and so on. The question is how should the control system be organised so that the robot will be able to reasonably handle those multiple interrupts? The paper suggests a formal specification of a controller solving the thus posed problem. As interrupts are well established within computer science the paper shows that the there proposed solution is not well suited to robotics.

Paper presents a novel idea of failure detection mechanism for complex control environments. The mechanism is composed of several dynamic artificial neural networks that work in parallel in order to detect a failing signal from one of the on-board robot sensors. The simulation results show that the system is capable of detecting a failing control system quickly and efficiently.
