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.

Dynamic feedback robust stabilization of nonholonomic mobile robots based on visual servoing

This paper investigates the visual servoing robust stabilization of nonholonomic mobile robots. The calibration of visual parameters is not only complicated, but also needs great consumption of calculated time so that the accurate calibration is impossible in some situations for high requirement of real timing. Hence, it is interesting and important to consider the design of stabilizing controllers for nonholonomic kinematic systems with uncalibrated visual parameters. A novel uncertain model of these nonholonomic kinematic systems is proposed. Based on this model, a stabilizing controller is discussed by using dynamic feedback and two-step techniques. The proposed robust controller makes the mobile robot image pose and the orientation converge to the desired configuration despite the lack of depth information and the lack of precise visual parameters. The stability of the closed loop system is rigorously proved. The simulation is given to show the effectiveness of the presented controllers.     

Vision-based hybrid control scheme for autonomous parking of a mobile robot

This paper presents a novel vision-based hybrid controller for parking of mobile robots. Parking or docking is an essential behavioral unit for autonomous robots. The proposed hybrid controller comprises a discrete event controller to change the direction of travel and a pixel error-driven proportional controller to generate motion commands to achieve the continuous motion. At the velocity control level, the robot is driven using a built-in PID control system. The feedback system uses image plane measurements in pixel units to perform image-based visual servoing (IBVS). The constraints imposed due to the non-holonomic nature of the robot and the limited field of view of the camera are taken into account in designing the IBVS-based controller. The controller continuously compares the current view of the parking station against the reference view until the desired parking condition is achieved. A comprehensive analysis is provided to prove the convergence of the proposed method. Once the parking behavior is invoked, the robot has the ability to start from any arbitrary position to achieve successful parking given that initially the parking station is in the robot's field of view. As the method is purely based on vision the hybrid controller does not require any position information (or localization) of the robot. Using the Pioneer 3AT robot, several experiments are carried out to authenticate the method. The experimental system has the ability to achieve the parking state and align laterally within ±0.5 cm of the target pose.

Linked multi-component mobile robots: Modeling,simulation and control

The Linked Multi-Component Robotic Systems (L-MCRS) consists of a group of mobile robots carrying a passive uni-dimensional object (a hose or a wire). It is a recently identified unexplored and unexploited category of multi-robot systems. In this paper we report the first effort on the modeling, control and visual servoing of L-MCRS. Modeling has been tackled from geometrical and dynamical points of view. The passive element is modeled by splines, and the dynamical modeling is achieved by the appropriate extension of Geometrically Exact Dynamic Splines (GEDS). The system’s modeling allows realistic simulation, which can be used as a test bed for the evaluation of control strategies. In this paper we evaluate two such control strategies: a baseline global controller, and a fuzzy local controller based on the observation of the hose segment between two robots. Finally, we have performed physical experiments on a team of robots carrying a wire under a visual servoing scheme that provides the perceptual information about the hose for the fuzzy local controller. Visual servoing robust image segmentation is grounded in the Dichromatic Reflection Model (DRM).

A review on vision-based control of flexible manipulators

In this review, recent developments in the field of flexible robot arm control using visual servoing are reviewed. In comparison to rigid robots, the end-effector position of flexible links cannot be obtained precisely enough with respect to position control using kinematic information and joint variables. To solve the task here the use of a vision sensor (camera) system, visual servoing is proposed to realize the task of control flexible manipulators with improved quality requirements. The paper is organized as follows: the visual servoing architectures will be reviewed for rigid robots first. The advantages, disadvantages, and comparisons between different approaches of visual servoing are carried out. The using of visual servoing to control flexible robot is addressed next. Open problems such as state variables estimation as well as the combination of different sensor properties as well as some application-oriented points related to flexible robot are discussed in detail.

A Novel Robust Leader-Following Control Design for Mobile Robots

To extend the utility of multiple mobile robots (MMRs) in formation on a larger scale, the algorithms developed for control of such robots must be robust. The majority of the developed controllers in the literature lack incorporating dynamics of the MMRs or lack robustness in their design. The very few recently developed robust controllers that consider dynamics, either rely on conservative assumptions to obtain robustness, or are sliding-mode based which suffer from the chattering problem. In this paper, (1) we consider both kinematics and dynamics as well as the actuator dynamics and their uncertainties in formulating the formation of non-holonomic MMRs, (2) we develop a novel robust control technique that can effectively handle the unknown parameters and uncertainties in the system, (3) unlike other papers, we relax the conservative assumptions to arrive at control design, and present rigorous mathematical analyses for the development of robust control and prove the system stability based on the Lyapunov theorem. Simulation results proved the effectiveness of the developed robust control method. It was concluded that the proposed control method, while not being conservative, is easy to use and can be readily adopted in real-time experiments.
