The efficient operation of large-scale Cable-Driven Parallel Robots (CDPRs) relies on precise calibration of kinematic parameters and the simplicity of the calibration process. This paper presents a graph-based self-calibration framework that explicitly addresses cable sag effects and facilitates the calibration procedure for large-scale CDPRs by only relying on internal sensors. A unified factor graph is proposed, incorporating a catenary cable model to capture cable sagging. The factor graph iteratively refines kinematic parameters, including anchor point locations and initial cable length, by considering jointly onboard sensor data and the robot’s kineto-static model. The applicability and accuracy of the proposed technique are demonstrated through Finite Element (FE) simulations, on both large and small-scale CDPRs subjected to significant initialization perturbations.

The paper studies the problem of leakage localization in water distribution networks. For the case of a single pipe that suffers from a single leak, by taking recourse to pressure and flow measurements, and assuming those are noiseless, we provide a closed-form expression for leak localization, leak exponent and leak constant. For the aforementioned setting, but with noisy pressure and flow measurements, an expression for estimating the location of the leak is provided. Finally, assuming the existence of a single leak, for a network comprising of more than one pipe and assuming that the network has a tree structure, we provide a systematic procedure for determining the leak location, the leak exponent, and the leak constant.

In this paper, we solve the inter-agent collision avoidance problem in an arbitrary n-dimensional Euclidean space using reciprocal safety velocity cones (RSVCs). We propose a decentralized feedback control strategy that guarantees simultaneously asymptotic stabilization to a reference and collision avoidance. Our algorithm is purely decentralized in the sense that each agent uses only local information about its neighbouring agents. Moreover, the proposed solution can be implemented using only inter-agent bearing measurements. Therefore, the algorithm is a sensor-based control strategy which is practically implementable using a wide range of sensors such as vision systems and range scanners. Simulation results in a two dimensional environment cluttered with agents shows that the number of possible deadlocks is marginal and decrease with the decrease in the clutteredness of the workspace.
We study stochastic policy gradient methods from the perspective of control-theoretic limitations. Our main result is that ill-conditioned linear systems in the sense of Doyle inevitably lead to noisy gradient estimat...

The focus of this paper is to address a novel control technique for stability and transparency analysis of bilateral telerobotic systems in the presence of data loss and time delay in the communication channel. Different control strategies have been reported to compensate the effects of time delay in the communication channel;however, most of them result in poor performance under data loss. First, a model for data loss is proposed using a finite series representation of a set of periodic continuous *** improve the performance and data reconstruction, a holder circuits is also introduced. The passivity of the overall system is provided via the wave variable technique based on the proposed model for the data loss. The stability analysis of the system is then derived using the Lyapunov theorem under the time delay and the data loss. Finally, experimental results are given to illustrate the capability of the proposed control technique.
