Path generation algorithms for AUV's homing and docking are presented. Optimization technique with a proper cost function is given for the homing process, and prediction algorithm for 1st stage-docking process. Dock position and pose estimation algorithm using geometric and perspective relationship of circle in 3-dimention space and ellipse in projected 2-D plane is introduced for real time vision tracking algorithm of 2nd stage-docking process. Simulations using MATLAB program and experiments for dock position and pose estimation algorithm show that robust estimation algorithm can get practically exact pose and position of dock.

In this paper, an algorithm for hyper symmetric environment simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is developed based on the generalized Voronoi graph. The hyper symmetric environment is a challenging environment for the SLAM and the most difficult problem on this is a data association. To redeem this problem, we propose three techniques. The first one is a breadth first node navigation algorithm which highly reduces the complexity of the data association. The second scheme is an odometry calibration method which converts untrustable odometry into reliable one. The third method is a multi layered data association scheme. We integrate above three techniques into one framework and propose a SLAM algorithm for the hyper symmetric environment. The simulation result shows that the proposed algorithm can successfully cover a large hyper symmetric environment under 20% odometry uncertainty.

In this paper a biped locomotor, named as WL-15 (Waseda Leg 15), is analyzed in terms of stiffness characteristics. Basic models and a formulation are proposed in order to deduce the stiffness matrix as a function of the most important design parameters of the WL-15 architecture. First numerical simulations and experimental tests are also carried out for stiffness performance estimation.

This paper presents a new formulation approach for determining the actual solution of the forward kinematics of 6-dof parallel manipulators. This paper shows that a geometric structure of the 3-6 platform with a 3-2-1 type that has a unique closed-form solution provides a useful guideline for formulating the forward kinematics of 6-dof parallel manipulators and for determining their actual solution. We use the tetrahedron geometry to present how to find the actual solution. The formulation approach is simple and effective to determine the actual solution of many 6-dof parallel manipulators.

In this paper, we consider a design method for repetitive control systems with a multi-period repetitive compensator. The repetitive control system is a type of servomechanism for periodic reference signal. The repetitive control system is a neutral type of time delay system and cannot apply for strictly proper plants. Almost all plants are strictly proper. Several modifications of the repetitive control system for strictly proper plants are proposed. It is well known that modified repetitive control is easy to apply for strictly proper plants. Sugimoto and Washida pointed out that the phase angle of the low-pass filter in a repetitive compensator has a bad influence on disturbance attenuation characteristics. They overcame this problem and proposd a design method for repetitive control systems with corrected time delay. However, the method developed by Sugimoto and Washida has improved the disturbance attenuation characteristics only in the low frequency range. Generally, the disturbance includes variable frequency signals. In this paper, we propose a design method for repetitive control systems with multi-period repetitive compensator, in order to attenuate the disturbance with higher frequency range.

Because of their high power/weight ratio pneumatic actuators, especially the so called pneumatic muscles, are very interesting for the use as actuators in robotics. But, in fact the physical model is highly nonlinear, in the following a flatness based position controller for the pneumatic artificial muscles is presented. The considered pneumatic muscle is produced by the manufacturer Festo and possesses a high pulling force to 4000N and a very long lifetime at least to 10 million switching cycles. The control objective is to track the payload along a specified reference path including an active attenuation. Since a model based control approach is pursued, a physical model is presented for an experimental setup. The model is very nonlinear making nonlinear flatness based control desirable. Experimental results are included and demonstrate the efficiency of the control.

In this paper a path planning technique for autonomous vehicles is developed which takes geometric and vehicle dynamics criteria into account. Starting with the Bézier spline description of the path, optimizations with respect to driving manoeuvres were performed. To ensure driveability of the planned path vehicle dynamics aspects are taken into account using a simplified vehicle model. The planned path will then be verified by driving tests. In this paper a method based on similitude analysis is developed for verification and validation of driving tests for autonomous vehicles with scaled vehicles. A lane change manoeuvre for a 1:5 scaled vehicle belonging to the Institute of mechatronics and system Dynamics at the Gerhard Mercator University Duisburg is described using this method.
