Considering the interaction between people and machines under safety constraints without utilizing difficult and complex control strategies, this paper proposes a new actuator design—adaptive coupled elastic actuator (ACEA) with adjustable characteristics adaptive to the applied output force and input force. This would provide oncoming robotic systems with an intrinsic compromise between performance and safety in unstructured environments (i.e., exhibiting desired intrinsic lower and higher output impedance depending on different operation situations). Having introduced its concept and design, this paper also presents modeling, control and analysis for the ACEA system, not only to provide useful information to investigate the performance and basic characteristics of the designed system, but also to benefit the design of a more advanced controller in the near future. Finally, experimental results are presented to show the desired properties of the proposed ACEA system. 相似文献

This paper presents a passive control scheme for a force reflecting bilateral teleoperation system with a varying time communication delay. To improve the stability and performance of the system, the master and slave must be coupled dynamically via a transmission network through which the force and velocity are communicated bilaterally. However, the time delay caused by various factors, such as the transmission distance, network congestion, and communication bandwidth, is a long-standing impediment to bilateral control that can destabilize the system. In this study, we investigated how a varying time delay affects the stability of a teleoperation system. A new optimal adaptive approach based on a passive control scheme was designed bilaterally for both the master and slave sites. Extra variables were transmitted together with the wave variables in the scattering system. The proposed scheme achieved both passive control, and an acceptable tracking performance. The tracking performance was demonstrated using a computer simulation of varying time delays in a bilateral teleoperation system. 相似文献

Computer-aided repulsive force control of collision avoidance is presented in this paper. A repulsive force is artificially created using the distances between the robot links and obstacles, which are generated by a simplified distance computation algorithm. This distance computation algorithm is based on the Gilbert-Johnson-Keerthi algorithm. Control gains in the repulsive force control model are selected based on traditional control design and genetic algorithms. Results on shortest distance computation and collision detection are presented. Real-time manipulator collision avoidance control has achieved. A repulsive force gain is introduced through the approaches for definition of link coordinate frames and kinematics computations. The safety distance between objects is affected by the repulsive force gain. Safety zone can be adjustable by the repulsive force gain which is selected by a specified fitness function of the genetic algorithm. 相似文献

We consider the problem of the optimal shock isolation of an object whose mechanical model is described by two masses with a linear elastic connection between them. The object is situated on a base whose movement is considered as a shock load. The base acceleration law (shock action) is given. For the sake of safety, the object is fastened to the base by a special device—an shock isolator. The isolator is characterized by the force of the action on the object. We pose the problem of constructing the force law of the isolator such that the stroke of the isolator (the maximum change in the distance between the fastening points of the isolator on the object and on the base) is minimal under the condition that the force of the elastic connection between the masses of the object does not exceed the given admissible value. We obtain approximate solutions of the problem, as well as exact solutions for various classes of shock actions. We provide examples. We show that the solutions include the summands that are the impulse functions. The results can be used to create highly effective devices to protect against shock of technical systems and humans in industry and in transport. 相似文献

Necessary physical contact between an operator and a force feedback haptic device creates a coupled system consisting of human and machine. This contact, combined with the natural human tendency to increase arm stiffness to attempt to stabilize its motion, can reduce the stability of the system. This paper proposes a method to increase stability on demand while maintaining speed and performance. Operator arm stiffness is not directly measurable, so controllers cannot typically account for this issue. The causes of arm end-point stiffness are examined as related to system stability, and a method for estimating changes in arm stiffness based on arm muscle activity was designed to provide a robotic controller with additional information about the operator. This was accomplished using electromyograms (EMGs) to measure muscle activities and estimating the level of arm stiffness, which was used to adjust the dynamic characteristics of an impedance controller. To support this design, the correlation between EMGs and arm stiffness was validated experimentally. Further experiments characterized the effects of the designed system on operator performance. This showed increased stability and faster, more accurate movements using the compensating system. Such a system could be used in many applications, including force assisting devices in industrial facilities. 相似文献

For robots to perform many complex tasks there is a need for robust and stable force control. Linear, fixed‐gain controllers can only provide adequate performance when they are tuned to specific task requirements, but if the environmental stiffness at the robot/task interface is unknown and varies significantly, performance is degraded. This paper describes the design of two nonlinear, fuzzy force controllers, developed primarily using analytical methods, which overcome the problems of conventional control. Using simulation and an experimental robot, they are shown to perform well over a wide range of stiffness and both a quantitative and qualitative assessment of their performance compared with conventional force control is presented. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

Monofins provide swimmers with an efficient alternative to the standard pair of fins. For example, all short and long distance human swimming records have been established using monofins. Current monofin design is mostly empirical, so the objectives of this work are to analyze monofin propulsion through coupled fluid–structure simulation and to optimize its flexural stiffness distribution. The optimization process maximizes the propulsive power provided by the monofin with a constraint on the total expended power. To be able to carry out the optimization of the coupled fluid–structure system, which is numerically costly to evaluate, the following simplifications are proposed: (1) a 2-D unsteady, inviscid, and incompressible fluid flow is considered; (2) the swimmer is composed of linear articulated segments, whose kinematics is imposed and identified from experimental data; and (3) the monofin is represented by rigid bars linked by torsional springs. For various allowable swimmer powers, optimal 2-D stiffness distributions are obtained using the Globalized and Bounded Nelder–Mead algorithm. Finally, an identification procedure is described to translate the optimal 2-D stiffness distributions into 3-D thickness profiles for a given monofin planform shape. 相似文献

Using the technical computing program Mathematica, the dynamic stiffness matrix for the spatially coupled free vibration analysis of thin-walled curved beam with non-symmetric cross-section on two-types of elastic foundation is newly presented based on the power series method. For this, the elastic strain energy considering the axial/flexural/torsional coupled terms, the kinetic energy including the rotary inertia effect, and the energy due to the elastic foundation are introduced. Then, equations of motion are derived from the energy principle and explicit expressions for displacement parameters are derived based on power series expansions of displacement components. Finally, the exact dynamic stiffness matrix is determined using force–displacement relations. In order to demonstrate the validity and the accuracy of this study, the natural frequencies of thin-walled curved beams with mono-symmetric and non-symmetric cross-sections are evaluated and compared with the analytical solutions and finite element solutions using Hermitian curved beam elements and ABAQUS’s shell elements. In addition, some results by a parametric study are reported. 相似文献

A limiting performance of shock isolation is studied for an object modeled by two rigid bodies connected by a viscoelastic element with a linear characteristic. The object is attached to a movable base by means of a shock isolator, which is regarded as a device that produces a control force between the base and the object. The base and the object move along the same straight line. The base is subject to an external shock excitation that is characterized by the time history of the acceleration of the base. A control law is defined for the shock isolator to minimize the maximum magnitude of the displacement of the object relative to the base, provided that the force of interaction between the components of the object does not exceed a prescribed value. An algorithm for constructing the exact solution of the problem under certain assumptions is presented. A technique for constructing an approximate solution for an object having high stiffness is described. The optimal control is shown to have impulse components. Examples are given. The two-component model considered in the paper is known to have been utilized to describe the mechanical response of a human body to a shock load along the spine or from thorax to back. Therefore, the problem under consideration can be regarded as a benchmark optimal control problem for a system that protects from injuries cased by shock loads. Solution of such problems is highly topical for development of safety systems for vehicles. 相似文献

Recent advances in evolutionary algorithms show that coevolutionary architectures are effective ways to broaden the use of traditional evolutionary algorithms. This paper presents a cooperative coevolutionary algorithm (CCEA) for multiobjective optimization, which applies the divide-and-conquer approach to decompose decision vectors into smaller components and evolves multiple solutions in the form of cooperative subpopulations. Incorporated with various features like archiving, dynamic sharing, and extending operator, the CCEA is capable of maintaining archive diversity in the evolution and distributing the solutions uniformly along the Pareto front. Exploiting the inherent parallelism of cooperative coevolution, the CCEA can be formulated into a distributed cooperative coevolutionary algorithm (DCCEA) suitable for concurrent processing that allows inter-communication of subpopulations residing in networked computers, and hence expedites the computational speed by sharing the workload among multiple computers. Simulation results show that the CCEA is competitive in finding the tradeoff solutions, and the DCCEA can effectively reduce the simulation runtime without sacrificing the performance of CCEA as the number of peers is increased. 相似文献

Shortest distance queries are essential not only in graph analysis and graph mining tasks but also in database applications, when a large graph needs to be dealt with. Such shortest distance queries are frequently issued by end-users or requested as a subroutine in real applications. For intensive queries on large graphs, it is impractical to compute shortest distances on-line from scratch, and impractical to materialize all-pairs shortest distances. In the literature, 2-hop distance labeling is proposed to index the all-pairs shortest distances. It assigns distance labels to vertices in a large graph in a pre-computing step off-line and then answers shortest distance queries on-line by making use of such distance labels, which avoids exhaustively traversing the large graph when answering queries. However, the existing algorithms to generate 2-hop distance labels are not scalable to large graphs. Finding an optimal 2-hop distance labeling is NP-hard, and heuristic algorithms may generate large size distance labels while still needing to pre-compute all-pairs shortest paths. In this paper, we propose a multi-hop distance labeling approach, which generates a subset of the 2-hop distance labels as index off-line. We can compute the multi-hop distance labels efficiently by avoiding pre-computing all-pairs shortest paths. In addition, our multi-hop distance labeling is small in size to be stored. To answer a shortest distance query between two vertices, we first generate the query-specific small set of 2-hop distance labels for the two vertices based on our multi-hop distance labels stored and compute the shortest distance between the two vertices based on the 2-hop distance labels generated on-line. We conducted extensive performance studies on large real graphs and confirmed the efficiency of our multi-hop distance labeling scheme. 相似文献

The topology optimization problem for linearly elastic micropolar solids is dealt with. The constituent materials are supposed
to lack in general of centro-symmetry, which means that force stresses and microcurvatures are coupled, and so are couple
stresses and micropolar strains. The maximum global stiffness is taken as objective function. According to the SIMP model,
the constitutive tensors are assumed to be smooth functions of the design variable, that is, the material density. Optimal
material distributions are obtained for several significant three-dimensional cases. The differences respect to the optimal
configurations obtained with classical Cauchy materials and centrosymmetric materials are pointed out. The influence of the
constants defining the non-centrosymmetric behaviour on the optimal configurations is discussed. 相似文献

In manufacturing industries of metallic molds, various NC machine tools are used. A desktop NC machine tool with compliance control capability has been already proposed to automatically cope with the finishing process of an LED lens mold. The NC machine tool can control the polishing force acting between an abrasive tool and a workpiece, where the force control method developed is an impedance model force control. The most important gain, which gives a large influence to the stability, is the desired damping of the impedance model. Ideally, the desired damping is calculated from the critical damping condition of the force control system in consideration of the effective stiffness. The effective stiffness means the total stiffness including the characteristics composed of the NC machine tool itself, force sensor, tool attachment, abrasive tool, workpiece, zig and floor. One of the serious problems is that the effective stiffness of the NC machine tool has undesirable nonlinearity, so that it may destroy the stability of the force control system. In this paper, a systematic tuning method of the desired damping in the control system is considered by using neural networks, where the neural networks acquire the nonlinearity of effective stiffness. It is confirmed that the impedance model force controller with the neural network-based (NN-based) stiffness estimator allows the NC machine tool to achieve a high quality finished surface of an LED lens mold with a diameter of 3.6 mm. 相似文献

It is widely recognised that compliant actuation is advantageous to robot control once dynamic tasks are considered. However, the benefit of intrinsic compliance comes with high control complexity. Specifically, coordinating the motion of a system through a compliant actuator and finding a task-specific impedance profile that leads to better performance is known to be non-trivial. Here, we propose an optimal control formulation to compute the motor position commands, and the associated time-varying torque and stiffness profiles. To demonstrate the utility of the approach, we consider an “explosive” ball-throwing task where exploitation of the intrinsic dynamics of the compliantly actuated system leads to improved task performance (i.e., distance thrown). In this example we show that: (i) the proposed control methodology is able to tailor impedance strategies to specific task objectives and system dynamics, (ii) the ability to vary stiffness can be exploited to achieve better performance, (iii) in systems with variable physical compliance, the present formulation enables exploitation of the energy storage capabilities of the actuators to improve task performance. We illustrate these in numerical simulations, and in hardware experiments on a two-link variable stiffness robot. 相似文献

Human-robot interaction (HRI) is fundamental for human-centered robotics, and has been attracting intensive research for more than a decade. The series elastic actuator (SEA) provides inherent compliance, safety and further benefits for HRI, but the introduced elastic element also brings control difficulties. In this paper, we address the stiffness rendering problem for a cable-driven SEA system, to achieve either low stiffness for good transparency or high stiffness bigger than the physical spring constant, and to assess the rendering accuracy with quantified metrics. By taking a velocity-sourced model of the motor, a cascaded velocity-torque-impedance control structure is established. To achieve high fidelity torque control, the 2-DOF (degree of freedom) stabilizing control method together with a compensator has been used to handle the competing requirements on tracking performance, noise and disturbance rejection, and energy optimization in the cable-driven SEA system. The conventional passivity requirement for HRI usually leads to a conservative design of the impedance controller, and the rendered stiffness cannot go higher than the physical spring constant. By adding a phase-lead compensator into the impedance controller, the stiffness rendering capability was augmented with guaranteed relaxed passivity. Extensive simulations and experiments have been performed, and the virtual stiffness has been rendered in the extended range of 0.1 to 2.0 times of the physical spring constant with guaranteed relaxed passivity for physical humanrobot interaction below 5 Hz. Quantified metrics also verified good rendering accuracy. 相似文献

Base isolation has become a practical control strategy for protecting structures against seismic hazards. Most previous studies
on the optimum design of base-isolated structures have been focused on the design optimization of either the base isolation
or the superstructure. It is necessary to simultaneously optimize both the base isolation and the superstructure as a whole
to seek the most cost-efficient design for such structures. This paper presents an effective numerical optimization technique
for the seismic design of base-isolated concrete building structures under spectrum loading. Attempts have been made to automate
the integrated spectrum analysis and design optimization procedure and to minimize the total cost of the base-isolated building
subject to design performance criteria in terms of the interstory drifts of the superstructure and the lateral displacement
of the isolation system. In the optimal design problem formulation, the cost of the superstructure can be expressed in terms
of concrete member sizes while assuming all these members to be linearly elastic under earthquake actions. However, the isolation
system is assumed to behave nonlinearly, and its cost can be related to the effective horizontal stiffness of each isolator.
Using the principle of virtual work, the lateral drift responses of concrete base-isolated buildings can be explicitly formulated
and the integrated optimization problem can be solved by the optimality criteria method. The technique is capable of achieving
the optimal balance between the costs of the superstructure and the isolation system while the design performance criteria
can be simultaneously satisfied. One practical building example with and without base isolation is used to illustrate the
effectiveness of the optimal design technique. 相似文献

In this paper, a fuzzy force control framework is proposed for dual-industrial robot systems. The master/slave control method is used in dual-robot systems. Two MITSUBISHI MELFA RV-M1 industrial robots, one is equipped with an BL Force/Torque sensor and the other is not, are utilized for implementing the dual-arm system. In order to adapt various stiffness of the holding object, an adaptable fuzzy force control scheme has been proposed to improve the performance. The ability of the adaptable force control system is achieved by tuning the scaling factor of the fuzzy logic controller. Successful experiments are carried out for the dual-robot system handling an object. 相似文献

Exact dynamic element stiffness matrix for the flexural–torsional free vibration analysis of the shear deformable thin-walled beam with non-symmetric cross-section on two-types of elastic foundation is newly presented using power series method based on the technical computing program Mathematica. For this, the shear deformable beam on elastic foundation theory is developed by introducing Vlasov's assumption and applying Hellinger–Reissner principle. This beam includes the shear deformation effects due to the shear forces and the restrained warping torsion and due to the coupled effects between them, and rotary inertia effects and the flexural–torsional coupling effects due to the non-symmetric cross-sections. And then equations of motion and force–deformation relations are derived from the energy principle and explicit expressions for displacement parameters are derived based on power series expansions of displacement components and the exact dynamic element stiffness matrix is determined using force–deformation relationships. In order to verify the accuracy of this study, the numerical solutions are presented and compared with the analytical solutions and the finite element solutions using the isoparametric beam elements. Particularly the influences of the coupled shear deformation on the vibrational behavior of non-symmetric beam on elastic foundation are investigated. 相似文献
