This paper proposes two simple schemes for adaptive control of robot manipulator, to achieve trajectory tracking. The state feedback controller consists of feedforward from the reference position trajectory, feedback from the actual trajectory, and an auxiliary input. The feedforward/feedback controller is different from the state feedback controller in that it consists of feedforward from the reference position, velocity, and acceleration trajectory based on “inverse” dynamics of robot manipulator. The feedforward and feedback gains and the auxiliary input are adapted using adaptive control theory based on Lyapunov's direct method, and using only the local information of the corresponding joint. The proposed control schemes are computationally fast and do not require a priori knowledge of the parameter of the manipulator or the payload. Simulation results are presented in support of the proposed schemes.

This paper documents an experiment performed by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics laboratory.to measure the effect of inserting a data bus into a combat system. The experiment was conducted at the Aegis computer Center located at the Naval Surface Weapons Center in Dahlgren, Virginia (NSWC/DL). The purpose of the experiment was to determine whether or not the Aegis Weapon System (the core of the Aegis Combat System) could be operated with a portion of its point-to-point interelement cables replaced by a data bus. The data bus chosen for the experiment employs message broadcasting with receiver selection. A primary goal of the experiment was to minimize the amount of Aegis computer program changes required to accommodate the data bus. The results presented in this paper will show that the experiment was a success. Key certification tests were passed with no computer program changes to the tactical elements and minimal changes in the Aegis tactical executive (ATES) program (less than 110 words changed).

To increase task flexibility in a robotic assembly environment, a hierarchical planning and execution system is being developed which will map user-specified, three-dimensional part assembly tasks into various target robotic workcells, and execute these tasks efficiently using manipulators and sensors available in the workcell. One level of this hierarchy, the supervisor, is responsible for assigning subtasks of a system-generated task plan to a set of task specific specialists, and online coordination of the activity of these specialists to accomplish the user-specified assembly. The design of the supervisor is broken down into five major functional blocks: resource management; concurrency detection; task scheduling; error recovery; and interprocess communication. Using concepts from operating systems, the design of each of these supervisor blocks is examined.< >

The design of the organization level of the intelligent machine as a Boltzmann machine, as described in current neural network literature, is discussed. Since this level is responsible for planning the actions of the machine, the problem at this tier is formulated as the construction of the right sequence of tasks or events which minimizes the entropy for the desired action. Two search techniques, simulated annealing (SA) and expanding subinterval random search (ESRS), are described. These techniques are used to find the global minimum entropy of a Boltzmann machine. Simulations using these search techniques were conducted using energy as a cost function, and results indicate that ESRS converges faster than SA to a global minimum if the topology contains narrow and deep cost wells.< >

The overall function of the supervisor is examined in relation to the other levels of the hierarchical system. The theoretical design of each module of the supervisor is presented and a sample assembly is executed under the supervisor's control.< >
