This paper refers to the fast implementation of the positional forward acceleration of the end effector of revolute robotic arms with spherical wrists, using the distributed arithmetic technique. The acceleration of the end effector is calculated by a cascade configuration of two pipelined arrays that calculate the Jacobian matrix and its time derivative, as well as the centrifugal-Coriolis and linear accelerations. These partial accelerations are then added in the adder tree. The building blocks of the arrays are the distributed arithmetic-based circuits that implement the matrix-vector multiplications involved in the calculations. The digit-serial configuration of the proposed implementation of the positional forward acceleration of the end effector is described. The serial and the parallel configurations may result as special cases of the digit-serial configuration. The proposed distributed arithmetic (DA) implementation of the positional forward acceleration may be applied, after appropriate modifications, to the general case of robots having either revolute or prismatic joints, with any type of wrist.

This paper is concerned with invariant systems on Lie groups. A sufficient condition for a piecewise constant input to distinguish between any two distinct initial states contained in some open neighbourhood of the state space is given. This condition involves the parallel translation of vectors along curves thus relating observability to parallelism.

A simple, but effective, method of calibrating a multimanipulator robotic system is introduced. The algorithm uses precisely machined calibration plates which are inexpensive to manufacture and require no measuring instrumentation. The method is tested on a dual-arm system which resulted in an order of magnitude reduction in the pose error. Coordinated dual-arm manipulation experiments are conducted using the calibrated kinematic model to validate the usefulness of the calibration process

This paper describes a binary image representation scheme, which is called image block representation and presents a new skeletonization algorithm, which is implemented on block represented binary images. The main purpose of the image block representation is to provide an efficient binary image representation that permits the execution of operations on image areas instead of image points. The skeletonization algorithm operates in four subiterations: each subiteration deletes the north, the south, the west and the east boundary points, respectively. Due to the substitution of the boundary points by the block's boundary points the relevant operations are performed fast, while preserving the end points and the object connectivity.

In this paper we present a method for image feature extraction using coordinate logic filters. Coordinate logic filters constitute a new kind of nonlinear filter, which are closely related to morphological fillers. The key issue to the coordinate logic analysis of images is the methodology of fast successive filtering and managing of the residues. The desired processing is succeeded by executing only direct logic operations among the pixels of the given image. The coordinate logic filters can be easily implemented using logic circuits or cellular automata.

In this paper is presented a new approach to robust non-linear control design, which can guarantee a prescribed decay rate of exponential stability for known system uncertainties. The proposed approach doesn’t employ matching conditions. The non-linear power system with deterministic uncertainties is chosen as demonstration example.

Real-time, in situ control of reactive ion etching is shown to reduce loading disturbance in an Applied 8300 reactive ion etch system. The etch process vehicle is CF4 etching of polysilicon. A real-time, multivariable feedback control strategy where key plasma parameters are fed back has been developed. This strategy is experimentally compared with standard industry practice and is shown to reduce the loading effect by 80%. This quantification of improvement is carried out in terms of a model from the literature which is reviewed and experimentally validated for the etch equipment and process used.

In this paper the regulation problem of linear discrete-time systems with uncertain parameters under state and control constraints is studied. In the frrst part of the paper, two theorems concerning necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to this problem are presented. Due to the constructive form of the proof of these theorems, these results can be used for the derivation of a control law transferring to the origin any state belonging to a given set of initial states while respecting the state and controI constraints. So, a design technique is developed. By this technique the initial problem. is reduced to simple mathematical programming problems. Dans cet article, on étudie le problème de regulation des systémes linéaires discrets avec des parametres imprécis et contraintes sur la commande et l'état. Dans la première partie de l'article, on présente deux théorèmes concemant les conditions nécessaires et suffisantes pour l'existence d'une solution a ce problème. Grace au caraètere constructive de la démonstration de ces théoremes, ces resultats peuvent etre utilises pour la dérivation d'une lois de commande permettant le transf ère a l'origine de tous les états appartennant à un ensemble donne des états initiaux, sans violer les contraintes sur la commande et l'état.

The problem of finding a unit in H/sub /spl infin// i.e., an H/sub /spl infin// function the inverse of which is also H/sub /spl infin//, which interpolates to given points in the right-half plane has important applications in a number of feedback stabilization problems, i.e., strong stabilization (stabilization by a stable compensator) and simultaneous stabilization (finding a common fixed compensator which stabilizes a finite set of possible plants). The present paper gives an overview of the interpolation theory and some remarks observed with different mappings used in literature to find a unit in H/sub /spl infin//. A new algorithm is also presented to construct a unit in H/sub /spl infin//.
