In this survey, we discuss current approaches to the robust control of the motion of robots and summarize the available literature on the subject. The three major designs discussed are the "Linear-Multivariable" Approach, the "Passivity" approach and the "Variable-Structure" approach. The survey is limited to rigid robots and nonadaptive controllers.

A tutorial introduction to the subject of multisensor integration and fusion is presented. The role of multisensor integration and fusion in the operation of intelligent systems is defined in terms of the unique type of information multiple sensors can provide. Multisensor integration is discussed in terms of basic integration functions and multisensor fusion in terms of the different levels at which fusion can take place. Numerical examples are given to illustrate a variety of different fusion methods. Speculations concerning possible research future directions and a guide to survey and review papers in the area of multisensor integration and fusion are presented.< >

Presents a 3D object recognition system with emphasis on an optimum placement strategy for a mobile 3D range sensor. The theoretical aspects leading to the development of the 3D sensor placement paradigm are presented and described. The authors use a triangulation type laser of range finder in which a CCD based imaging device is utilized to view a plane of laser light bounced from a sweeping mirror. The sensor characteristics are described and modeled. A set of criteria for use in constraining the possible sensor site location for future scans is presented. These constraint conditions are essential to drive the actual sensor placement algorithm for 3D object recognition.< >

The application of a linear multivariable control law design methodology to an autopilot design for large transport aircraft is described. The design method is an explicit model-matching approach, whereby compensator parameters are tuned via a least-squares optimization approach to minimize the error between the desired and the actual closed-loop frequency responses. This method incorporates some recent theoretical advances, including controller parameterization and plant factorization, and has been implemented within the ISICLE software package, a MATLAB-based control design toolbox. A desirable feature of the ISICLE design software is the capability to constrain the compensator dynamic order and structure, issues motivated by the necessity for low complexity implementations in order to simplify gain scheduling and limit protection.< >

In this paper the Linear Constrained Regulation Problem for discrete-time systems is studied. The first part of the paper deals with the problem of existence of linear state-feedback control laws that transfer asymptotically to the origin all initial states belonging to a polyhedral subset of state space while linear state and control constraints are respected. Then an eigenstructure assignment technique is developed for derivation of a solution to this problem. The results presented in the paper are based on the properties of systems possessing polyedral positively invariant sets.

In this paper, we report on recent advances in the design of fully nonlinear controllers for amplitude-sensitive nonlinear plants using sinusoidal-input describing function methods. This work includes the development of a new nonlinear controller synthesis approach that includes derivative action in an inner-loop feedback path (nonlinear rate feedback), and its application to a motor + load model with torque saturation and stiction. This approach is capable of treaing nonlinear systems of a very general nature, with no restrictions as to system order, number of nonlinearities, configuration, or nonlinearity type; additionally, the techniques can be generalized for the design of nonlinear controllers of different structures. The end result is a closed-loop nonlinear control system that is relatively insensitive to reference-input amplitude.

Computational architectures for shop floor control in automated job shops and midvolume manufacturing facilities are evolving into three identifiable forms, which are contrasted here. The first architecture, termed the modular approach, is based on earlier monolithic MRP/order-release systems and is typified by recent CIM (computer-integrated manufacturing) product offerings such as GEs CIMPLICITY. The second architecture is a hierarchical architecture, such as NIST's AMRF (National Institute of Standards and Technology's Automated Manufacturing Research Facility) system. The third architecture is a contract net architecture which is fully decentralized and may be a candidate for future CIM systems. These architectural forms may be distinguished on the basis of the partitioning principles which predominate in their design.< >
