This article proposes an adaptive and robust terrain classification control algorithm for a pendulum-driven spherical robot, aiming to solve the problem of insufficient control accuracy caused by using the same controller for different terrains. The common terrains are classified into three categories, and a terrain classification dataset is established based on the vibration signal of the robot. Using LightGBM, combined with the feature window and window voter algorithm proposed in this article, the terrain classification results are corresponded with three proposed controllers. Physical experiment results show that the proposed classification control algorithm can work stably in different terrains, guiding the spherical robot to select the optimal controller to improve its motion performance.

Human-robot motion retargeting is a crucial approach for fast learning motion skills. Achieving real-time retargeting demands high levels of synchronization and accuracy. Even though existing retargeting methods have swift calculation, they still cause time-delay effect on the synchronous retargeting. To mitigate this issue, this paper proposes a motion retargeting method guided by prediction, which effectively reduces the adverse impact of time-delay. The proposed pipeline contains motion retargeting in spatial-temporal graph-based structure and motion prediction in the latent space. The motion sequence retargeting builds mapping and paired data from human poses to corresponding robot configurations for training prediction model, and generated robot motion satisfies limit and self-collision constrains. The controller guided by prediction imports future robot joint motion to achieve advanced trajectory tracking, thereby compensating for delay time spent on calculation and tracking. Experimental results show that our method outperforms other methods in terms of synchronization and similarity. Furthermore, our method exhibits fault-tolerant capability in scenarios involving the loss of human information input.
Motion control is essential for all autonomous mobile robots, and even more so for spherical robots. Due to the uniqueness of the spherical robot, its motion control must not only ensure accurate tracking of the targe...

Dynamic wireless charging (DWC) of electric vehicles (EVs) is a promising technology that can promote the widespread of EVs. However, the output power fluctuation occurs due to the varying mutual inductance between the receiver coil and the transmitter coils caused by the EV motion, which would lead to control performance deterioration and even instability of the system. To mitigate the power fluctuation, this paper proposes a control strategy based on exact output regulation (EOR) theory for the receiver-side buck converter of the DWC system to compensate the disturbance arising from the mutual inductance fluctuation. The mutual inductance fluctuation can be approximated as a sinusoidal signal and the FEA analysis informanation is used to obtain an predefined exosystem that can characterize the dynamics of the mutual inductance fluctuation. A state feedback controller combined with a state observer is designed to achieve a constant output voltage of the DWC system by compensating for such disturbance. The simulation results verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control strategy as compared with the traditional control methods.

In this paper, we propose an efficient trajectory planning algorithm with path smoothing based on the Bézier curve with curvature constraints and piecewise-jerk speed-time optimization. We use hybrid A* to generate a rough path and construct a safe corridor by inflating the path. After that, we formulate the smooth problem as a nonlinear programming(NLP) with piecewise Bézier curves. Since the curvature constraints for Bézier curves are difficult, we employ quartic Bézier Curves with special forms and compute the closed-form solution for the maximum curvature to simplify the representation of the maximum curvature. By using the special Bézier curves, we realize the gear shifts and easily guarantee the security, continuity, and feasibility of the path. Meanwhile, we add time variables based on PJSO, improving the quality of trajectory within an acceptable increase in time, making the allocation of time and speed better. Simulation and real-world experiments with a car-like robot in various environments confirm that our algorithm can generate a smooth, feasible, and high-quality trajectory for robots.
