Simultaneous tracking and regulation visual servoing of wheeled mobile robots with uncalibrated extrinsic parameters

This paper presentsa global adaptive controller that simultaneously solves tracking and regulation for wheeled mobile robots with unknown depth and uncalibrated camera-to-robot extrinsic parameters. The rotational angle and the scaled translation between the current camera frame and the reference camera frame, as well as the ones between the desired camera frame and the reference camera frame can be calculated in real time by using the pose estimation techniques. A transformed system is first obtained, for which an adaptive controller is then designed to accomplish both tracking and regulation tasks, and the controller synthesis is based on Lyapunov's direct method. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by a simulation study.

Constraint finite‐time control of redundant manipulators

This work addresses the problem of the accurate task‐space control subject to finite‐time convergence. Dynamic equations of a redundant manipulator are assumed to be uncertain. Moreover, globally unbounded disturbances are allowed to act on the manipulator when tracking the trajectory by the end effector. Furthermore, the movement is to be accomplished in such a way as to optimize some performance index. Based on suitably defined task‐space non‐singular terminal sliding vector variable and the Lyapunov stability theory, we derive a class of inverse‐free robust controllers consisting of a Jacobian transpose component plus a compensating term, which seem to be effective in counteracting uncertain dynamics, unbounded disturbances and (possible) kinematic singularities met on the robot trajectory. The numerical simulations carried out for a redundant manipulator of a Selective Compliant Articulated Robot for Assembly (SCARA) type consisting of three revolute kinematic pairs and operating in a two‐dimensional task space illustrate performance of the proposed controllers.

Trajectory tracking control for robot manipulators using only position measurements

In the paper, the trajectory tracking control problem is investigated for robotic manipulators which are not equipped with the tachometers. Our contribution consists in establishing uniform asymptotic stability in closed-loop system by using the dynamic position-feedback controller with feedforward. Using Lyapunov vector function and comparison principle, we construct the non-linear controller with variable gain matrices and first-order linear dynamic compensator such that the origin of the closed-loop system is uniformly asymptotically stable. The controller is shown to be robust with respect to parameters incertainties. We illustrate the utility of our result by simulation tests with reference to a two-link planar elbow robot manipulator.     

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.

Finite-time tracking control for multiple non-holonomic mobile robots based on visual servoing

This paper investigates finite-time tracking control problem of multiple non-holonomic mobile robots via visual servoing. It is assumed that the pinhole camera is fixed to the ceiling, and camera parameters are unknown. The desired reference trajectory is represented by a virtual leader whose states are available to only a subset of the followers, and the followers have only interaction. First, the camera-objective visual kinematic model is introduced by utilising the pinhole camera model for each mobile robot. Second, a unified tracking error system between camera-objective visual servoing model and desired reference trajectory is introduced. Third, based on the neighbour rule and by using finite-time control method, continuous distributed cooperative finite-time tracking control laws are designed for each mobile robot with unknown camera parameters, where the communication topology among the multiple mobile robots is assumed to be a directed graph. Rigorous proof shows that the group of mobile robots converges to the desired reference trajectory in finite time. Simulation example illustrates the effectiveness of our method.     

Velocity field control of a class of electrically-driven manipulators

This article addresses the control of robotic manipulators under the assumption that the desired motion in the operational space is encoded through a velocity field. In other words, a vectorial function assigns a velocity vector to each point in the robot workspace. Thus, the control objective is to design a control input such that the actual operational space velocity of the robot end-effector asymptotically tracks the desired velocity from the velocity field. This control formulation is known in the literature as velocity field control. A new velocity field controller together with a rigorous stability analysis is introduced in this article. The controller is developed for a class of electrically-driven manipulators. In this class of manipulators, the passivity property from the servo-amplifier voltage input to the joint velocity is not satisfied. However, global exponential stability of the state space origin of the closed-loop system is proven. Furthermore, the closed-loop system is proven to be and output strictly passive map from an auxiliary input to a filtered error signal. To confirm the theoretical conclusions, a detailed experimental study in a two degrees-of-freedom direct-drive manipulator is provided. Particularly, experiments consist of comparing the performance of a simple PI controller and a high-gain PI controller with respect to the new control scheme.

On the PID tracking control of robot manipulators

We consider the problem of PID tracking control of robotics manipulators. Our objective is to prove that under classical PID control, semiglobal stability can be assured with arbitrary small output tracking error. This means that, for any given set of initial conditions W_x, there exist PID control gains such that all trajectories starting in W_x converge to a residual set of arbitrary size. A novel PID control configuration is developed in terms of a parameter that is directly related with the size of the region of attraction and the size of the residual set. Tuning guidelines are extracted from the stability analysis.     

Non-singular terminal sliding mode control of rigid manipulators

This paper presents a global non-singular terminal sliding mode controller for rigid manipulators. A new terminal sliding mode manifold is first proposed for the second-order system to enable the elimination of the singularity problem associated with conventional terminal sliding mode control. The time taken to reach the equilibrium point from any initial state is guaranteed to be finite time. The proposed terminal sliding mode controller is then applied to the control of n-link rigid manipulators. Simulation results are presented to validate the analysis.     

Robust adaptive tracking control of robotic systems with uncertainties

To deal with the uncertainty factors of robotic systems, a robust adaptive tracking controller is proposed. The knowledge of the uncertainty factors is assumed to be unidentified; the proposed controller can guarantee robustness to parametric and dynamics uncertainties and can also reject any bounded, immeasurable disturbances entering the system. The stability of the proposed controller is proven by the Lyapunov method. The proposed controller can easily be implemented and the stability of the closed system can be ensured; the tracking error and adaptation parameter error are uniformly ultimately bounded （UUB）. Finally, some simulation examples are utilized to illustrate the control performance.     

Robust adaptive control for mobile manipulators

This paper addresses the trajectory tracking control of a nonholonomic wheeled mobile manipulator with parameter uncertainties and disturbances. The proposed algorithm adopts a robust adaptive control strategy where parametric uncertainties are compensated by adaptive update techniques and the disturbances are suppressed. A kinematic controller is first designed to make the robot follow a desired end-effector and platform trajectories in task space coordinates simultaneously. Then, an adaptive control scheme is proposed, which ensures that the trajectories are accurately tracked even in the presence of external disturbances and uncertainties. The system stability and the convergence of tracking errors to zero are rigorously proven using Lyapunov theory. Simulations results are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed robust adaptive control law in comparison with a sliding mode controller.
