Usually, the maximally permissive control of Petri nets with an OR-logic constraint is difficult to implement. In this paper, OR-logic is easily enforced using a colored Petri net. A colored Petri net place, named colored monitor place, is designed to monitor the states of constraints. A so-called guard function of colored Petri nets that maps certain transitions into a Boolean expression is suitably defined on the colored sets. The maximally permissive control is then obtained via the guard function. In addition, a constraint transformation method for marked graphs with uncontrollable transitions is proposed.

The paper investigates the closed-loop stability issue of finite-precision realizations for digital controllers implemented in floating-point arithmetic. Unlike the existing methods which only address the effect of the mantissa bits in floating-point format to the sensitivity of closed-loop stability, the sensitivity of closed-loop stability is analyzed with respect to both the mantissa and exponent bits of floating-point format. A computationally tractable finite word length (FWL) closed-loop stability measure is defined, and the optimal controller realization problem is posed as searching for a floating-point realization that maximizes the proposed measure. A numerical optimization approach is adopted to solve for the resulting optimization problem. Simulation results show that the proposed design procedure yields computationally efficient controller realizations with enhanced FWL closed-loop stability performance.

This paper presents a new approach to optimized notion planning for industrial robot arms with six degrees of freedom in an online given 3D environment. The method is based on the A*-search algorithm and needs no essential off-line computations. The algorithm works in an implicitly discrete configuration space. Collisions are detected in the Cartesian workspace by hierarchical distance computation based on the given CAD model. The collision-free result path is then optimized in execution time using rounding, a common command of every standard robot controller in the industry.

In the scanning electron microscope, many studies require micromanipulation tools that can be flexibly and comfortably used for the handling and positioning of objects ranging from a few millimeters down to fractions of microns. In the paper, some aspects of the control of small mobile microrobots by teleoperation are addressed facing the special behavior of their piezoelectric actuators and the challenge of handling tasks in ranges of very different orders of magnitude (100 nm-100 mm). In order to give the teleoperated tweezers a kind of low-level "intelligence", a control loop using the SEM as a sensor system is being developed. In different open-loop handling experiments, the employed 6D-mouse proves satisfactory as an intuitive user interface.

Concerning the robustness of mobile robot navigation, global self-localization is a key feature for many service applications. In this paper we describe an efficient Bayesian approach for hybrid topological/metric navigation, which is designed to exploit information from multiple sources of sensor data. Experiments with a combination of odometry/laserscans/computer vision show the system was able to generate initial position hypotheses, to cope with environmental ambiguities and to recover from severe position errors.

The handling of objects smaller than 1 mm is a great challenge for the robotics research community. applications are the handling of biological cells, teleoperation under vacuum conditions (e.g. inside a scanning electron microscope - SEM) or the manufacture of prototypes of microsystems. In this paper, some aspects of the control of small mobile microrobots by teleoperation are addressed. The employed 6D-mouse proves satisfactory as an intuitive user interface. A distributed control and planning architecture is presented as well as a closed-loop control approach basing on a sensor system that mainly consists of a standard SEM.

Fault detection is increasingly an essential part of vehicle development. Integrating such fault detection subsystems raises the reliability, maintainability, and safety of automobile components. Until now, the suspension system was not a safety-critical component, but with the introduction of global chassis control systems this system is getting more important. Therefore, the paper presents fault detection algorithms for the suspension system. Real measurements of a vehicle are made to compare the advantages of the different fault detection algorithms.
