One technique that is commonly used for mobile robots is an inverted pendulum based model. This research has been implementing a mobile robot technique in an unstable environment. The goal is to design and implementing a discrete digital control system that will provide robot stability. The PID controller algorithm and Ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF) implementation would be an ideal test model of this robot. Both of these algorithms are able to improve the performance of control systems. This robot already tested the performance of the PID control system and the EnKF algorithm. The performance of the PID controller algorithm and EnKF is tested by software. The Control system performance is directly dependent on the EnKF algorithm and input parameters of PID controller. Research uses EnKF algorithm and PID controller as a balancing robot. The covariance filter tuned by manually. Experiments carried out by the method of trial and error by varying the process noise covariance matrix. The system overshoot can be reduced by processing noise covariance matrix. The experiment results showed system optimal on Q_accelerometer: 0001, Q_gyroscope: 0.05 R_measurement: 12:03, P = 1790,005, I = 0.129 and D = 96 881.

This paper describes a new wave of the Web that is the user-adapted Web of Things. This is a new step in the evolution of the Web of Things and of adaptive web-based systems. The current proposals for the Web of Things focus on the augmentation of the physical objects in order to provide enhanced services. However, in our view, the Web of Things can also be a means to make physical objects accessible or more usable for people with special needs by exploiting adaptive and semantic techniques. The architecture presented in the paper describes the specific modules and components at the basis of this approach.

Accurate object shape knowledge provides important information for performing stable grasping and dexterous manipulation. When modeling an object using tactile sensors, touching the object surface at a fixed grid of points can be sample inefficient. In this paper, we present an active touch strategy to efficiently reduce the surface geometry uncertainty by leveraging a probabilistic representation of object surface. In particular, we model the object surface using a Gaussian process and use the associated uncertainty information to efficiently determine the next point to explore. We validate the resulting method for tactile object surface modeling using a real robot to reconstruct multiple, complex object surfaces.

This paper is aimed at developing optimal motion planning for a single autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) equipped with an on-board pollutant sensor that will maximize the sensor-related information available for source seeking. The ASV uses a nonlinear diffusion model of the pollutant source to estimate the intensity/level of the pollution at the present ASV location. The rate of detection of particles depends on the relative distance between the ASV and the source. First, we use a probabilistic map of the source location built through the sensor information for a dynamic motion planning of source seeking based on an entropy reduction formulation, where an appropriately defined Fisher information matrix (FIM) is used for entropy reduction or information gain. We derive the FIM for the set-up and investigate optimal trajectories. Next, we present an online nonlinear Monte Carlo algorithm that uses the obtained sensor information about pollutant at different vehicle locations to update a probabilistic uncertainty map of pollutant source location. As the mission unfolds the ASV motion is computed by considering a moving-horizon interval of decision, which will allow for the inclusion of new information available for optimal motion planning. The proposed motion planning approach is extended to take into account external disturbances and it is able to minimize the uncertainty in the pollutant source. Finally, we provide two case studies to demonstrate efficacy of the proposed motion planning algorithm.

We propose a robust object tracking algorithm for distance keeping. Taking advantage of a context-based region of interest, we are able to maximize the performance of each sensor, and reduce the computation time since we only focus on the targets inside the region. Tracking targets in road coordinates enables finding the distance-keeping target on any curved road, while a commercial Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system works best on straight roads. We demonstrate that the overall performance of the proposed algorithm is better than that of a commercial ACC system. The distance-keeping target can either be used for lane following for a standalone ACC system or an autonomous vehicle. Our object tracking algorithm can also be extended to find the target of interest for lane changing or ramp merging for an autonomous vehicle.

This paper proposes a passivity-based nonlinear disturbance observer (DOB) design for a powered upper-limb robot control. The proposed DOB allows for the nonlinearities of the robot dynamics, whereas the typical DOB designs cannot. Moreover, by virtue of the passivity property, human operator and environmental interactions can be embedded in the control loop. As a DOB, the proposed approach has a disturbance observation property that makes the actual robot behave like a nominal model selected by the user. Performance analysis proposes a gain tuning rule. In experimental validation, actual powered upper-limb robot is used to perform unknown payload carrying applications.
