A fully adaptive decentralized control of robot manipulators

In this paper, we develop a fully adaptive decentralized controller of robot manipulators for trajectory tracking. With high-order and adaptive variable-structure compensations, the proposed scheme makes both position and velocity tracking errors of robot manipulators globally converge to zero asymptotically while allowing all signals in closed-loop systems to be bounded, even without any prior knowledge of robot manipulators. Thus this control scheme is claimed to be fully adaptive. Even when the proposed scheme is modified to avoid the possible chattering in actual implementations, the overall performance will remain appealing. Finally, numerical results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes at the end.     

Dynamic modeling and nonlinear tracking control of a novel modified quadrotor

In this article, a nonlinear tracking controller is designed based on Lyapunov stability for a novel aerial robot. The proposed 6‐rotor configuration improves stability and payload lifting capacity of the robot compared with conventional quadrotors while avoiding further complexities in the robot dynamics and steering principles. The dynamical model of the robot is derived using Newton‐Euler method. The model represents a nonlinear, coupled, and underactuated system. The proposed control strategy includes 2 main parts: an attitude controller and a position controller. Both the attitude and position controls are Lyapunov‐based nonlinear tracking controllers that guarantee the asymptotic convergence of the states' tracking errors to zero. Simulation results are presented to illustrate appropriate performance of the closed‐loop system in terms of position/attitude tracking even in the presence of wind disturbance.

On the adaptive control of robot manipulators with velocity observers

To achieve accurate tracking control of robot manipulators many schemes have been proposed. A common approach is based on adaptive control techniques, which guarantee trajectory tracking under the assumption that the robot model structure is perfectly known and linear in the unknown parameters, while joint velocities are available. Despite tracking errors tend to zero, parameter errors do not unless some persistent excitation condition is fulfilled. There are few works dealing with velocity observation in conjunction with adaptive laws. In this note, an adaptive control/observer scheme is proposed for tracking position of robot manipulators. It is shown that tracking and observation errors are ultimately bounded, with the characteristic that when a persistent excitation condition is matched then they, as well as the parameter errors, tend to zero. Simulation results are in good agreement with the developed theory.     

Incorporation of acoustic sensors in the regulation of a mobile robot

This article introduces the incorporation of acoustic sensors for the localization of a mobile robot. The robot is considered as a sound source and its position is located applying a Time Delay of Arrival (TDOA) method. Since the accuracy of this method varies with the microphone array, a navigation acoustic map that indicates the location errors is built. This map also provides the robot with navigation trajectories point-to-point and the control is capable to drive the robot through these trajectories to a desired configuration. The proposed localization method is thoroughly tested using both a 900?Hz square signal and the natural sound of the robot, which is driven near the desired point with an average error of 0.067?m.     

Reducing Motion Inaccuracies on a Mobile Robot

In this article we present two algorithms, for reducing the effects of control-space quantisation errors on a Khepera mobile robot. Specifically, we consider that control-space quantisation is present, when there is only a finite set of available robot wheels velocities. Thus the velocities of the robot wheels can not be chosen from any point in a continuous set. The first algorithm can be used to perform pure rotations (no translation) of the mobile robot while reducing the effects of these errors. The second algorithm can be used to perform robust straight-line motions, between the mobile robot current position, and a predefined goal position in its working environment. Simulation results demonstrating the effectiveness of the algorithm will be presented.     

A two-step method for kinematic parameters calibration based on complete pose measurement—Verification on a heavy-duty robot

The poor pose accuracy of industrial robots restricts their further application in aviation manufacturing. Kinematic calibration based on position errors is a traditional method to improve robot accuracy. However, due to the difference between length errors and angle errors in the order of magnitude, it is difficult to accurately calibrate these geometric parameters together. In this paper, a two-step method for robot kinematic parameters calibration and a novel method for position and orientation measurement are proposed and combined to identify these two kinds of errors respectively. The redundant parameter errors that affect the identification are also analyzed and eliminated to further improve the accuracy of this two-step method. Taking the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm as the underlying algorithm, simulation results indicate that the proposed two-step calibration method has faster iteration speed and higher identification accuracy than the traditional one. On this basis, the calibration and measurement methods proposed in this paper are verified on a heavy-duty robot used for fiber placement. Experimental results show that the mean absolute position error decreases from 0.9906 mm to 0.3703 mm after calibration by the proposed two-step calibration method with redundancy elimination. The absolute position accuracy has increased by 41.81% compared with the traditional method based on position errors only and 14.97% compared with the two-step calibration method without redundancy elimination. At the same time, the orientation errors after calibration are not more than 0.1485°, and the average of absolute errors is 0.0447.     

A Neuro-Sliding Mode Control Scheme for Constrained Robots with Uncertain Jacobian

The joint robot control requires to map desired cartesian tasks into desired joint trajectories, by using the ill-posed inverse kinematics mapping. In order to avoid inverse kinematics, the control problem is formulated directly in task space to gives rise to cartesian robot control. In addition, when the robot is constrained due to its kinematic mappings yields a stiff system and an additional complexity arises to implement cartesian control for constrained robots. In this paper, an alternative approach is proposed to guarantee global convergence of force and position cartesian tracking errors under the assumption that the jacobian is not exactly known. A neuro-sliding mode controller is presented, where a small size adaptive neural network compensates approximately for the inverse dynamics and an inner control loop induces second order sliding modes to guarantee tracking. The sliding mode variable tunes the online adaptation of the weights. A passivity analysis yields the energy Lyapunov function to prove boundedness of all closed-loop signals and variable structure control theory is used to finally conclude convergence of position and force tracking errors. Experimental results are provided to visualize the expected performance.     

Adaptive tracking control of manipulators: Theory and experiments

This paper considers the trajectory tracking problem for uncertain robot manipulators and proposes two adaptive controllers as solutions to this problem. The first controller is derived under the assumption that the manipulator state is measurable, while the second strategy is developed for those applications in which only position measurements are available. The adaptive schemes are very general and computationally efficient since they do not require knowledge of either the mathematical model or the parameter values of the manipulator dynamics, and are implemented without calculation of the robot inverse dynamics or inverse kinematic transformation. It is shown that the control strategies ensure uniform boundedness of all signals in the presence of bounded disturbances, and that the ultimate size of the tracking errors can be made arbitrarily small. Experimental results are presented for a PUMA 560 manipulator and demonstrate that accurate and robust trajectory tracking can be achieved by using the proposed controllers.
