We study control problems for a specific mechanical system consisting of a rigid base body with an unactuated internal degree of freedom. The key assumptions are that the translational and rotational motion of the base body can be completely controlled by external forces and moments, while the internal degree of freedom is unactuated. This specific example is representative of a class of underactuated mechanical control systems that are not linearly controllable. This class of control problems presents major theoretical and practical difficulties, and such models do arise in important terrestrial and spacecraft applications. Our focus in this paper is on the simplest mechanical example in this class; it illustrates important features and difficulties associated with the class of such problems.

We design a fuzzy system to compensate the delays due to backlash nonlinearity. The fuzzy compensator is constructed from some common-sense rules. We consider the general case of the unknown backlash parameter and develop an adaptation algorithm to estimate the backlash parameter online. We prove that under certain conditions the fuzzy compensator with the adaptation algorithm guarantees that the backlash output converges to the desired trajectory. Simulation and hardware implementation results show that the fuzzy compensator is robust to the estimation errors in the backlash parameters. Application to an industrial CNC machine tool is described.

We propose in this work the first model-based robust control method for a team of underactuated manipulators jointly manipulating a load. The method is based on feedback linearization of the nonlinear dynamic coupling between the torques applied at the actuated joints and the Cartesian acceleration of the load, combined with a variable structure controller. Singularities in the control method are addressed, and a sufficient condition for a singularity-free controller implementation is obtained. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the theory presented.
The problem addressed is feedback from noncontact sensing for guiding robots during docking and gripping. The sensor used is a “range camera” onboard a mobile robot (MRb). To specify the docking task completely both...

The increasing demand for robotic applications in unstructured environments is motivating the need for dextrous end-effecters which can cope with the wide variety of tasks and objects encountered in these environments, A new anthropomorphic robot hand (Anthrobot) which was designed for these environments is described. In this paper, the problem of developing the kinematics and unit consistent hybrid position/force control of the Anthrobot fingers is considered as the first step toward its utilization for either teleoperation or autonomous operation, A dynamic model of the fingers is identified and used to develop the control laws, The experimental results of applying the control to the Anthrobot are discussed.

A deadzone compensator is designed for industrial positioning systems using a fuzzy logic (FL) controller. The classification property of FL systems makes them a natural candidate for the rejection of errors induced by the deadzone, which has regions in which it behaves differently. A tuning algorithm is given for the FL parameters, so that the deadzone compensation scheme becomes adaptive, guaranteeing small tracking errors and bounded parameter estimates. The adaptive FL deadzone compensator is implemented on an actual industrial CNC machine tool to show its efficacy.

The objective of the paper is to show the results of the practical implementation of a neural network tracking controller on a single flexible link and compare its performance to that of PD and PID standard controllers. The NN controller is composed of an outer PD tracking loop, a singular perturbation inner loop for stabilization of the fast flexible mode dynamics, and a neural network inner loop used to feedback linearize the slow pointing dynamics. No off-line training or learning is needed for the NN. It is shown that the tracking performance of the NN controller is far better than that of the PD or PID standard controllers. An extra friction term was added in the tests to demonstrate the ability of the NN to learn unmodeled nonlinear dynamics.

Robotic finishing such as car body grinding is one of critical automation processes because of direct influence of robot system capability on final surface quality. Difference of each car surface even in the same car model is also one another critical problem. Here one suggestion on robotic finishing system with intelligence and flexibility. Laser vision scans the local surface of each car body, from sensing data after signal processing surface and bead are modeled, after that exact robot path is generated. All these processes are integrated in one robot finishing system, which is applied in actual production line. Such intelligence and flexibility of robot system shows adaptability even in production line as well as further interesting research topics. Finally technological extension of such system to more complicated workpiece is explained.

This work targets the navigation and control of multi-linked manipulators in tight, constrained spaces as are encountered in problems of robotic packaging or loading and unloading of pallets. The modified magnetic field algorithm was introduced by the authors (1996, 1997) for the specific purposes of generating motion plans for a robot moving in a complex and constrained workspace while veering around enclosing Cartesian space obstacle walls. The modified magnetic field method allows global convergence and collision constraint satisfaction while allowing the application of this method as a dynamic online plan generation and control technique in both Cartesian and configuration spaces. Methods for using the MMF for the online dynamic closed loop control of a robot arm in the presence of Cartesian obstacles and singular configurations are developed in this paper and results shown for a specific workspace configuration. This is done by extending the concept of the MMF through a detailed analysis of exactly what constitutes a desirable path in both Cartesian and configuration spaces. The dynamic control is performed in a hybrid manner to account for both, Cartesian as well as configuration space obstacles.
