Spacecraft formation reconfiguration with collision avoidance

In this paper we present a behavioral control solution for reconfiguration of a spacecraft formation using the Null-Space Based (NSB) concept. The solution is task based, and aims to reconfigure and maintain a rigid formation while avoiding collisions between spacecraft. A model of relative translation is derived, together with a passivity-based sliding surface controller which globally stabilizes the equilibrium point of the closed-loop system. The NSB control method is implemented by giving each task different priorities and then calculating desired velocity and a Jacobian matrix for each spacecraft and each task. The velocity vector for each task is then projected into the null-space for higher prioritized tasks to remove conflicting velocity components. Simulation results are presented, showing that each spacecraft moves into the predefined formation without breaking any rules for the higher priority tasks, and all collisions are avoided.     

多级模糊控制的月球车避障研究

针对月球车这个MIMO系统,考虑其在未知环境下的避障问题,设计了一个多级模糊控制器,将输入变量分组设计子模糊作为第1级,再将第1级的输出作为第2级的输入变量设计第2级子模糊系统,最后控制系统输出平移速度和角速度。这样就避免了常规模糊系统中规则数目过大和设计繁琐问题,提高了整个控制系统的性能。该控制器模糊规则数量少,控制方法简单,响应速度快。最后的实验证明了该方法的有效性。     

Industrial Robot Navigation and Obstacle Avoidance Employing Fuzzy Logic

This paper proposes a novel conceptual approach based on fuzzy logic to solve the local navigation and obstacle avoidance problem for industrial 3-dof robotic manipulators. The proposed system is divided into separate fuzzy units, which control individually each manipulator link. The fuzzy rule-base of each unit combines a repelling influence, which is related to the distance between the manipulator and the nearby obstacles, with the attracting influence produced by the angular difference, between the actual and the final manipulator configuration, to generate a new actuating command for each link. It can be considered as an on-line local navigation method for the generation of instantaneous collision-free trajectories. The strategy has been successfully applied to manipulators in different simulated workspace environments providing collision-free paths. Some of the simulation results obtained are included.     

Adaptive Threat Modeling for Secure Ad Hoc Routing Protocols

Secure routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks provide the required functionality for proper network operation. If the underlying routing protocol cannot be trusted to follow the protocol operations, additional trust layers, such as authentication, cannot be obtained. Threat models drive analysis capabilities, affecting how we evaluate trust. Current attacker threat models limit the results obtained during protocol security analysis over ad hoc routing protocols. Developing a proper threat model to evaluate security properties in mobile ad hoc routing protocols presents a significant challenge. If the attacker strength is too weak, we miss vital security flaws. If the attacker strength is too strong, we cannot identify the minimum required attacker capabilities needed to break the routing protocol. In this paper we present an adaptive threat model to evaluate route discovery attacks against ad hoc routing protocols. Our approach enables us to evaluate trust in the ad hoc routing process and allows us to identify minimum requirements an attacker needs to break a given routing protocol.

Lyapunov function-based obstacle avoidance scheme for a two-wheeled mobile robot

An obstacle avoidance scheme of a two-wheeled mobile robot is shown by selecting an appropriate Lya- punov function. When considering the obstacle, the Lyapunov function may have some local minima. A method which erases the local minima is proposed by using a function which covers the minima with a plane surface. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by numerical simulations.     

A Novel Navigation Method for Autonomous Mobile Vehicles

This paper presents a novel navigation method for Autonomous Mobile Vehicle in unknown environments. The proposed navigator consists of an Obstacle Avoider (OA), a Goal Seeker (GS), a Navigation Supervisor (NS) and an Environment Evaluator (EE). The fuzzy actions inferred by the OA and the GS are weighted by the NS using the local and global environmental information and fused through fuzzy set operation to produce a command action, from which the final crisp action is determined by defuzzification. The EE tunes the supports of the fuzzy sets for the OA and the NS; therefore, the capability of the navigation method is enhanced. Simulation shows that the navigator is able to perform successful navigation task in various unknown or partially known environments, and it has satisfactory ability in tackling moving obstacles. More importantly, it has smooth action and exceptionally good robustness to sensor noise.     

Advanced and Intelligent Control Techniques Applied to the Drive Control and Path Tracking Systems on a Robotic Wheelchair

This paper presents the theoretical support and experimental results of the application of advanced and intelligent control techniques to the drive control and trajectory tracking systems on a robotic wheelchair. The adaptive optimal control of the differential drive helps to improve the automatic guidance system's safety and comfort taking into consideration operating conditions such as load and distribution changes or motion actuator limitations. Furthermore, the incorporation of an optimal controller to minimize location errors and a fuzzy controller to adapt the linear velocity to the characteristics of the trajectory, provide the vehicle with a high degree of intelligence and autonomy, even when faced with obstacles. The global control solution implemented increases the features of the wheelchair for handicapped people, especially for those with a high degree of disability.
