A class of iterative methods have recently been proposed for the path planning of nonholonomic systems. These methods warp an initial path iteratively to an acceptable final path by using Newton-Raphson or gradient type of algorithms. Once a path is found off-line, a feedback controller is then used to follow the path. In this paper, we propose a modification of these off-line methods to transform them directly into a feedback controller. The main idea is to couple the iteration variable to the actual time, thus the control is executed during the path iteration, before the convergence. We show that this scheme guarantees the closed loop asymptotic stability when the system model is known, and possesses certain robustness when the model information is imperfect. By using interior penalty functions, inequality constraints can also be handled by the algorithm. Simulation results are included, showing promise of the approach.

A Japanese National Research and Development Project aimed at realization of next generation robots and cultivation of elementary technology for advancedrobots was finished successfully in 1990. An outline of the project is given, and three robots are presented. One is for maintenance, inspection and repair in nuclear power plants; one is for similar functions in offshore oil facilities; and one is for fire-fighting, fire prevention and rescue in petrochemical facilities. All are supported by a remote operator.< >

A task-oriented systems engineering approach for developing complex, large-scale, integrated, intelligent machine systems using software templates is presented. This methodology can be applied to a wide variety of real-time machine applications. The method presented is built upon the real-time control system (RCS) reference model architecture being defined at the National Institute of Standards and technology (NIST). It is believed that the reference architecture and methodology described could form the basis for defining an open-systems architecture for intelligent control systems applications.< >

The application of the real time control system (RCS) reference model to a simulated underground coal mining machine is described. RCS is characterized by explicit software modules that perform task decomposition, sensory processing, and world modeling functions at different hierarchical levels. A detailed and sharply defined approach to RCS design characterized by task-oriented problem analysis, generic software 'objects', rule-based control (using finite state machines), cyclic execution of manually scheduled processes, and generic communications interfaces.< >

The authors discuss a system, called AMP-CAD, which develops assembly motion plans using CAD models of parts. They place an emphasis on the calculation of the potential fields used for motion planning. Potential fields can be thought of as a mechanism to interface CAD representations with plan development. AMP-CAD is a complete system that combines an assembly representation, a two-phase motion planner, and a execution unit into a single integrated package. Implementation and experimental results are discussed.< >

Concerns a research and development project of advanced robot technology in Japan, finished in FY 1990. This project aimed to develop robots which could carry out inspection, maintenance, rescue operations or others in the field of nuclear power, subsea and disaster fighting. The various elementary technologies have been developed and the conceptual designs of total systems of the robots have been made taking those results into consideration. This paper describes the total system of the advanced subsea robot which supports the offshore oil exploitation and the verification experiment by the experimental robot which was carried out in December 1990.< >

Regarding robots that are expected to play an important role when put into practical use at nuclear power plants in the 1990s, the concept of a targeted robot was established so as to efficiently develop a robot within a set period of time and budget by concentrating on the highest level of essential technology possible. This paper will mainly refer to the concept of the robot for nuclear power plants as well as various forms of essential technology currently spotlighted. The robot concept will be revised as necessary in accordance with the future progress of the essential technology.

We have time after time reexamined and refined the concept of advancedrobot for support of offshore oil exploitation. In FY 1984, we carried out research and surveys centering on the current state of robotics technology for the purpose of ascertaining the boundaries and focus of research and development necessary for future R & D programs. In the present paper, we will comment mainly on the technologies of elements presently considered essential for the concept of an advancedrobot for support of offshore oil exploitation.

As themes of research and development, technologies particular to disaster prevention robots, namely, durability to ensure full performance and functions under disastrous environment, detection capabilities to grasp the surrounding situations and work functions capable of rapid and efficient action, are considered. Each of these elemental technologies themselves are important as they may be utilized independently as disaster preventing device. Nevertheless, it is further required to establish total system clearly in which these elements can function in combination. In this study, elemental technologies required for development of the disaster prevention robot will be described.
