This paper addresses real-time planning and control for robot manipulator in unknown workspace. The task under our consideration is to control a robot to follow a path on an unknown surface. In order to successfully accomplish the task, a novel strategy for integrating real-time planning and control is proposed to deal with the uncertainties in the environment by means of multisensor fusion. In the proposed scheme, a new planner is designed to complete the path-following task without apriori knowledge of the path, while the hybrid position/force control strategy is utilized to maintain the contact between the robot and the unknown surface. In this paper, to achieve intelligent robot manipulation in an unstructured workspace, complementary sensory data from force-torque and visual sensors is integrated simultaneously during robot constrained motion.

This paper deals with adaptive control of a class of nonlinear dynamic
systems with nonlinear parametrization. In this class, the state variables are
assumed to be accessible and the nonlinearity in the parameters is assumed to be
either convex or concave. By introducing a tuning function and an adaptive law based
on a min-max strategy, it is shown that such a class of dynamic systems can be
adaptively controlled in a stable manner. Global boundedness of the overall adaptive
system and tracking to within a desired precision are established with the new
adaptive controller. The proposed controller is applied to a precise-positioning
problem in the presence of nonlinearly parametrized friction dynamics. It is shown
that the controller leads to position errors and friction compensation that are
orders of magnitude better than those based on estimation of linear parametrizations.
The fact that the new parameter estimation strategy used is distinct from the
traditionally used gradient schemes, permits the expansion of the scope of adaptive
control, which has been restricted hitherto, in most cases, to systems with linear
parametrization. (Author abstract) 21 Refs.

This paper presents the experimental validation of a self-adjusting active compliance controller for n robots handling a concerning its compliant behaviour partly unknown flexible object. The control strategy is based on the decomposition of the 6n-dimensional position/force space and includes a feedforward and feedback level. For adjusting the controller to the in general unknown flexible behaviour, which is the main problem of the controller design. a quasi-static model of the system is derived for different contact cases of the object and a procedure is presented, which by use of this model is capable of determining the compliance of the considered system and therefore of adjusting the controller. Experiments with two pumatype robots show the applicability of the self-adjusting control strategy.

详细信息
In this paper, a robust adaptive nonlinear controller is presented for hydraulic actuators. The model utilized for the hydraulic actuators includes nonlinear relations between the flow velocity and the pressure, parametric uncertainties due to environmental changes, bulk modulus, inertia mass, oil temperature and valve dynamics. Moreover, transmission flexibility and friction in the drive are considered in the control synthesis. Utilizing our earlier results in robust adaptive nonlinear control and friction compensation, we present a control design methodology for dealing with the aforementioned parametric and dynamic uncertainties in hydraulic actuators. The efficacy of the advocated control design methodology is shown through simulation studies.

Torque ripple compensation for brushless DC motors is considered. The control design methodology is based on our earlier work on adaptive variable structure control. A current level controller is derived for the motor that achieves asymptotic tracking of a reference trajectory while yielding robustness to parametric and dynamic uncertainties in the motor dynamics. The controller requires the use of only one adaptation parameter. Furthermore, the control input is smooth and thereby alleviates the chattering problem common to variable structure schemes. Simulation results show the efficacy of the proposed control design.

详细信息
It is shown that our earlier (1997) robust adaptive nonlinear controller for friction compensation achieves a robust performance for a general class of models capturing friction dynamics. The advocated control design methodology can be used with many existing dynamic models of friction and is robust to parametric and dynamic variations in these friction models. Furthermore, the properties of a generalized dynamic friction model are set-forth and these generic properties are exploited for control design purposes. It is also shown that many of the popular dynamic models fall within the class of models considered. The advocated controller guarantees global asymptotic tracking of the states of a one degree-of-freedom system in the presence of dynamic friction effects. Simulation studies are done for three popular dynamic friction models and a stochastic version of one of the dynamic friction models. These simulations sufficiently elucidate the robustness and performance aspects of the advocated control design methodology.

This paper presents a control method for suppressing payload sway caused by operator commanded maneuvers, in rotary boom cranes. The crane configuration studied, consists of a payload mass that swings at the end of a spherical pendulum, which is attached to a boom capable of hub rotation and elevation. Positioning of the rotary crane is accomplished through the hub and boom angles, and the lift line length. Since the configuration of the crane affects the excitation and response of the lift line, the sway control scheme must account for the varying geometry of the system. Adaptive forward path command filters are employed to remove the components of the command signal which induce oscillation of the lift line. A real-time operator-in-the-loop simulation, is used to demonstrate results for a simultaneous three-axis maneuver.

The problem of deadlock in a large class of re-entrant flowline systems is analysed. Based on a Petri net (PN) model, circular blocking is rigorously defined and shown to be equivalent to part-path deadlock. The analysis is performed in terms of circular waits. Coupling the PN marking transition equation with the matrix rule-based controller equation yields a dynamical system representation, a framework in which algorithms of polynomial complexity can be developed for computing the structures of deadlock analysis. This allows efficient dispatching with deadlock avoidance using a generalised kanban scheme.
