Proposes a robust visual servoing scheme for robot manipulator with eye-in-hand camera configuration. To perform the tasks defined in the image plane, the velocity Jacobian matrix is used to transform the camera motion to the object position change. In addition, a dynamic learning controller is designed to improve the tracking performance of robotic system. The proposed control scheme is implemented for tasks of tracking moving objects and shown to outperform the conventional visual servo system without the dynamic control loop in convergence and robustness to parameter uncertainty, disturbances, low sampling rate, etc.

In this paper, we derive tracking control laws for non-minimum phase nonlinear systems with both fast and slow, possibly unstable, zero dynamics. The fast zero dynamics arise from a perturbation of a nominal system. These fast zeros can be problematic in that they may be in the right half plane and may cause large magnitude tracking control inputs. In this paper, we combine the ideas from some recent work of Hunt, Meyer and Su with that of Devasia, Chen and Paden on an asymptotic tracking procedure for non-minimum phase nonlinear systems. We give (somewhat subtle) conditions under which the tracking control input is bounded as the magnitude of the perturbation of the nominal system becomes zero. Explicit bounds on the control inputs are calculated for both SISO and MIMO systems using some interesting non-standard singular perturbation techniques. The method is applied to a suite of examples, including the simplified planar dynamics of VTOL and CTOL aircraft.

This paper investigates the application of conventional and neural adaptive control schemes to Gas Metal Are (GMA) welding. The goal is to produce welds of high quality and strength. This can be achieved through proper on-line control of the geometrical and thermal characteristics of the process. The welding process is variant in time and strongly nonlinear, and is subject to many defects due to improper regulation of parameters like arc voltage and current, or travel speed of the torch. Adaptive control is thus naturally a very good candidate for the regulation of the geometrical and thermal characteristics of the welding process. Here four adaptive control techniques are reviewed and tested, namely: model reference adaptive control (MRAC), pseudogradient adaptive control (PAC), multivariable self-tuning adaptive control (STC), and neural adaptive control (NAC). Extensive numerical results are provided, together with a discussion of the relative merits and limitations of the above techniques.

The response of a previously proposed teleoperator system, which was not based on the traditional notion of telepresence but on an original form of kinesthetic feedback, is tested under modeling errors of up to 50%. The original system is enhanced by replacing the previous controller of each robot with a sliding mode robust one. A two-stage approach is employed: a desired trajectory is first generated and then tracked by the controller. The difficulties incurred for the man/machine cooperation are discussed. This extension of the original teleoperator architecture is tested through simulations and compared with a twin system based on neural controllers, presented elsewhere. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.

A simple, but effective, method of calibrating a multimanipulator robotic system is introduced. The algorithm uses precisely machined calibration plates which are inexpensive to manufacture and require no measuring instrumentation. The method is tested on a dual-arm system which resulted in an order of magnitude reduction in the pose error. Coordinated dual-arm manipulation experiments are conducted using the calibrated kinematic model to validate the usefulness of the calibration process
