Real-time Collision-free Path Planning of Robot Manipulators using Neural Network Approaches

In this paper, a novel neural network approach to real-time collision-free path planning of robot manipulators in a nonstationary environment is proposed, which is based on a biologically inspired neural network model for dynamic trajectory generation of a point mobile robot. The state space of the proposed neural network is the joint space of the robot manipulators, where the dynamics of each neuron is characterized by a shunting equation or an additive equation. The real-time robot path is planned through the varying neural activity landscape that represents the dynamic environment. The proposed model for robot path planning with safety consideration is capable of planning a real-time comfortable path without suffering from the too close nor too far problems. The model algorithm is computationally efficient. The computational complexity is linearly dependent on the neural network size. The effectiveness and efficiency are demonstrated through simulation studies.     

A Neural Network Adaptive Controller for End-effector Tracking of Redundant Robot Manipulators

In this paper we propose a neural network adaptive controller to achieve end-effector tracking of redundant robot manipulators. The controller is designed in Cartesian space to overcome the problem of motion planning which is closely related to the inverse kinematics problem. The unknown model of the system is approximated by a decomposed structure neural network. Each neural network approximates a separate element of the dynamical model. These approximations are used to derive an adaptive stable control law. The parameter adaptation algorithm is derived from the stability study of the closed loop system using Lyapunov approach with intrinsic properties of robot manipulators. Two control strategies are considered. First, the aim of the controller is to achieve good tracking of the end-effector regardless the robot configurations. Second, the controller is improved using augmented space strategy to ensure minimum displacements of the joint positions of the robot. Simulation examples are also presented to verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach.     

Design of Adaptive Robot Control System Using Recurrent Neural Network

The use of a new Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) for controlling a robot manipulator is presented in this paper. The RNN is a modification of Elman network. In order to solve load uncertainties, a fast-load adaptive identification is also employed in a control system. The weight parameters of the network are updated using the standard Back-Propagation (BP) learning algorithm. The proposed control system is consisted of a NN controller, fast-load adaptation and PID-Robust controller. A general feedforward neural network (FNN) and a Diagonal Recurrent Network (DRN) are utilised for comparison with the proposed RNN. A two-link planar robot manipulator is used to evaluate and compare performance of the proposed NN and the control scheme. The convergence and accuracy of the proposed control scheme is proved.

A Stable Neuro-Adaptive Controller for Rigid Robot Manipulators

In this paper a controller based on neural networks is proposed toachieve output trajectory tracking of rigid robot manipulators. Neuralnetworks used here are one hidden layer ones so that their outputs dependlinearly on the parameters. Our method uses a decomposed connectioniststructure. Each neural network approximate a separate element of thedynamical model. These approximations are used to perform an adaptive stablecontrol law. The controller is based on direct adaptive techniques and theLyapunov approach is used to derive the adaptation laws of the netsparameters. By using an intrinsic physical property of the manipulator, thesystem is proved to be stable. The performance of the controller depends onthe quality of the approximation, i.e. on the inherent reconstruction errorsof the exact functions.

Using a New Model of Recurrent Neural Network for Control

This paper shows the results obtained in controlling a mobile robot by means of local recurrent neural networks based on a radial basis function (RBF) type architecture. The model used has a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter feeding back each neuron's output to its own input, while using another FIR filter as a synaptic connection. The network parameters (coefficients of both filters) are adjusted by means of the gradient descent technique, thus obtaining the stability conditions of the process. As a practical application the system has been successfully used for controlling a wheelchair, using an architecture made up by a neurocontroller and a neuroidentifier. The role of the latter, connected up in parallel with the wheelchair, is to propagate the control error to the neurocontroller, thus cutting down the control error in each working cycle.

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.     

A Frequency-Dependent Direct Adaptive Scheme for Robot Manipulators: A Case of Model-Following Motion Control

This paper presents a new frequency-dependent direct adaptive scheme for the optimal and/or suboptimal tracking of the motion of a prescribed model. The idea is based on a closed-loop control scheme in which an _{2 H} optimal/suboptimal controller is applied in parallel with a direct adaptive technique to guide a robot manipulator to follow a certain prescribed trajectory. The H ₂ compensators have to be proper and positively bounded with respect to all dynamic frequencies. Robustness issues are addresses in the paper by lumping all the nonlinear dynamic terms such as the centrifugal and Coriolis effects as well as the mechanical and electrical friction forces of the robot arm, into a general unstructured uncertainty term.

This paper presents a pattern discrimination method for electromyogram (EMG) signals for application in the field of prosthetic control. The method uses a novel recurrent neural network based on the hidden Markov model. This network includes recurrent connections, which enable modeling time series, such as EMG signals. Weight coefficients in the network can be learned using a well-known back-propagation through time algorithm. Pattern discrimination experiments were conducted to demonstrate the feasibility and performance of the proposed method. We were able to successfully discriminate forearm motions using the EMG signals, and achieved considerably high discrimination performance compared with other discrimination methods.     

Global PID Control of Robot Manipulators Equipped with PMSMs

This paper is concerned with PID position regulation of robot manipulators actuated by permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs). We present a global asymptotic stability proof when the electric dynamics of these actuators is taken into account. Our controller is so simple that it differs from standard field oriented control (SFOC) of PMSMs in only three simple nonlinear terms that have to be added and a nonlinear PID controller which is used instead of a classical PID controller. Thus, our proposal represents the closest result to SFOC of PMSMs provided with a formal global asymptotic stability proof. We present an advancement, if modest, towards presenting a global stability proof for SFOC when used in robotics.
