This paper presents an interface for the interaction between a human and an adapted kitchen where different elements, including a robot, have to be controlled. After the global structure of the interface is described a more detailed explanation is presented on the way the interface offers the user an easy and friendly way to select the desired objects and to provide their position to the robot for their manipulation.

Two robust adaptive control schemes (state-feedback and output-feedback) for formationkeeping of a pair of satellites are proposed. In contrast to most existing results, both control schemes are based on the nonlinear model directly, not on the simplified linearized model. In addition, the uncertainties and disturbances in the system such as the effects due to solar pressure, noncentral gravitational field, air drag, etc. are all considered. The objective of the control design is to force the relative position between two satellites to track a given reference signal while maintaining the desired Keplerian trajectory (in this case circular) for the master satellite. The results of this paper may be easily generalized to formationkeeping of a number of satellites.

A new parallel gripping mechanism is proposed in this work. This device has a parallelogramic platform which can be flexibly folded. Therefore, this mechanism not only can be used to grasp an object having irregular shape or large volume, but also can be utilized as micro-positioning device after grasping the object. Forward position analysis and platform kinematics are investigated to deal with motion tracking and force control. Pneumatic rotator is employed for actuation and a compact sized, 4/3 way proportional pressure valve is also developed to deal with feedback-based dynamic control. The pressure valve also allows indirect force control by measuring the offset pressure occurring due to contact between the grasped object and the parallel platform. In experimental work, performances of the motion tracking and indirect force control are shown satisfactory.

This paper describes preliminary results regarding the development of a B- splines neural network model of the fuel feed to shaft-speed dynamics of a twin-shaft gas turbine engine. Data recorded from practical testing of the turbine to a multisine input were employed, and models were identified at different points along the turbine operating curve. B-splines neural networks have been found to be good models of the system, delivering good results especially for long-range predictions.

Linear repetitive processes are a distinct class of 2D linear systems of both theoretical and practical interest. The stability theory for these processes currently consists of two distinct concepts termed asymptotic stability and stability along the pass respectively where the former is a necessary condition for the latter. Recently applications have arisen where asymptotic stability is too weak and stability along the pass is too strong for meaningful progress to be made. This paper develops the concept of strong practical stability for such cases.

An object manipulation algorithm for a three-fingered dextrous robotic hand mounted on a 6 DOF robotic arm is proposed. The paper is divided into two parts. The first part describes a (currently) off-line planning system for object reconfiguration design based on simulated annealing, while the second part deals with the real time realization of the determined motion path. The presented model-based motion planner algorithm for object re-configuration uses simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for generating the relative motion between the object and the end-points of the fingers.

This paper proposes a genetic-based algorithm for surface reconstruction of three-dimension (3-D) objects from a group of contours representing its section plane lines. The algorithm can optimize the triangulation of the surface of 3-D objects with a multi-objective optimization function to meet the needs of a wide range of applications. Further, a new crossover operator for triangulation and a new 3-D quadrilateral mutation operator are also introduced.

An algorithm of manipulation of a geometrically constrained object with multiple 6 DOF robotic arms in 3D is proposed. The motion of the end effectors relative to the object can be pure sliding and pure rolling. In the algorithm a static surface of the environment (working table, etc.) can be applied to make contact with the object, so an additional contact point may be used to help the manipulation. The presented model-based motion planner algorithm for object reconfiguration uses simulated annealing (SA) algorithm for generating the relative motion between the object and the end-points of the manipulators.

The paper provides a powerful basic concept for object manipulation with finger relocation and extends the previous approaches in the area of stratified manipulation. The algorithm gives also some improvements of the developed software for smooth and stratified motion planning (MP). The key element of the approach is based strongly on the theory of stratified control for nonlinear systems. The discussed manipulation concept exploits the information about the shape of the object and endeavors to discover its most important physical properties. In connection with the subject, the paper investigates the finger gaiting manipulation (based on finger relocation) in the context of stratified nonlinear control.
