The task of motion planning for robotic manipulators means to drive an end-effector between designated points in the work area while obstacles are not hit. This contribution investigates the case of dynamic obstacles (like human operators) and the consideration of a performance criterion to be maximized for the motion. The proposed approach maps the dynamics of the manipulator and the obstacles into the C times T-space (spanned by the configuration C and the time T). Within this space, an (sub-)optimal sequence of configurations in the collision-free subspace is determined by mixed-integer linear programming. To achieve sufficient computational efficiency, the optimization task is approached by employing the principles of model predictive control. The paper describes the approach based on the example of a two-link robot interacting with a human operator.

The walking robots are built to displace the loads on the not-aligned terrain. The modular walking system protect much better the environment when its contact with the soil is discrete, a fact that limits appreciately the area that is crushed. At the Polytechnic University of Bucharest has been new developed a walking modular robot to handle farming tools. This walking robot has three twolegged modules. Every leg has three freedom degrees (RRT) and a tactile sensor to measure the contact, which consists of lower and upper levels. The body of the MERO (MEchanism RObot) walking robot carries a gyroscopic bearing sensor to measure the pitch and roll angles of the platform. The legs are powered by hydraulic or electric drives and are equipped with transducers and sensors. They are used to control the walking robot in the adaptability to a natural ground. A vehicle like that is Romanian Walking Robot MERO (Fig. 1).

This paper introduces a structural tracking control problem for a rectangular thin plate with piezo-actuation. It is desired to dynamically shape the plate deflection in order to create a transient bulge, whose global minimum follows a prescribed path, e.g. a circle or rectangle. Therefore, motion-planning and feedforward tracking control is determined by combining results from differential flatness and optimal actuator placement to suppress spillover effects. The tracking performance of the proposed control approach is illustrated in a simulation scenario.

This paper is concerned with the design, the mathematical modeling and the control of an electrorheological (ER) damper for automotive applications. A continuous variation and the desired asymmetrical behavior of the damping characteristics is achieved by an intelligent combination of an ER valve with a laminar damping orifice and check valves. The resulting construction is distinguished by a very compact design and its fail-safe characteristics in the case of a fault of the high-voltage amplifier. Furthermore, some design considerations for the ER damper are given. Based on a detailed mathematical model a nonlinear control strategy is developed. Finally, the feasibility and the usefulness of the proposed construction and the nonlinear control strategy is demonstrated by means of simulation studies.

This paper presents a new early-lumping approach of feedforward control design for setpoint change scenarios applied to a tubular reactor modeled by a nonlinear parabolic diffusion-convection-reaction equation. The approach is based on Galerkin's method to obtain a finite-dimensional model and on a recently developed approach to feedforward control design for nonlinear systems under input constraints. The considered finite-time transition between equilibrium points is treated as a two-point boundary value problem. Simulation results for different sets of model parameters illustrate the applicability of the approach

This contribution presents a solution to the feedforward tracking control problem for flexible beam structures. The design methodology is based on the modal analysis of the structural dynamics to determine an inverse system representation by parameterizing modal states and system input in terms of a parameterizing function and its time-derivatives. Convergence of the resulting parameterizations is thereby directly related to the problem of motion planning. In addition, the analytical feedforward control design approach is adapted to incorporate finite-element methods, which makes this approach especially suitable for the control of structures with complex geometry, boundary conditions or spatially varying material properties. Simulation results for a clamped-free Timoshenko beam with piezoelectric actuation are presented, where it is desired to drive the beam tip from zero deflection to a given desired stationary deflection within a finite-time interval
