This paper addresses the problem of position control for robot manipulators. A new polynomial family of PD-type controllers with gravity compensation for the global position of robots manipulators is presented. The previous results on the linear PD controller are extended to the proposed polynomial family. The classical PD controller can be found among this large class of controllers when its proportional gain is a diagonal matrix. The main contribution of this paper is to prove that the closed-loop system composed by full nonlinear robot dynamics and the proposed family of controllers is globally asymptotically stable in agreement with Lyapunov's direct method and LaSalle's invariance principle. Besides the theoretical results, a real-time experimental comparison is also presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed family with other well-known control algorithms such as PD and PID schemes on a three degrees of freedom direct-drive arm. 相似文献

Giving a natural operational feeling to a human via a haptic interface requires not only a sophisticated and intuitive mechanical design, but also an appropriate control system design. Most haptic systems, however, implicitly demand that the human gets used to manipulation of the haptic devices before he/she can get the feel of the virtual space and/or telepresence beyond the haptic device. Based on a new concept of a human-in-the-loop system called Human Adaptive Mechatronics (HAM), an assist-control for a force/vision interactive haptic system is discussed in this paper. The proposed assist-control scheme includes online estimation of a operator's control characteristics, and a 'force assist' function implemented as a change in the support ratio according to the identified skill level. We developed a HAM haptic device test system, performed evaluation experiments with this apparatus and analyzed the measured data. It was confirmed that the operator's skill could be estimated sufficiently and that operator's performance was enhanced by the assist-control. 相似文献

Manoeuvrability of a master-slave manipulator with different configurations and its evaluation tests
《Advanced Robotics》2013,27(2):185-202
_Recently, much research on master-slave manipulators with different configurations (MSM-DC) has been conducted, but the manoeuvrability between different structural arms has not been sufficiently discussed. Thus, an MSM-DC with six degrees of freedom (DOF) using an orthogonal-type master arm has been developed and its manoeuvrability has been studied with the aid of some basic experiments. The results were as follows: (1) the MSM-DC can be operated as easily as a conventional MSM that uses a replica master arm; (2) the slave arm position and the reflecting force of the master arm are correctly generated by coordinate transformation between the slave arm and the master ann; (3) the master-slave mode is suitable for performing a fine task, compared with the joystick mode; and (4) the function of changing the transformation point, which is newly proposed, from the master arm to the slave arm is effective in carrying out a task which has a revolving point. In addition, quantitative evaluation of the manoeuvrability of an MSM was investigated using a pattern trace. 相似文献

Modeling human operator's behavior as a controller in a closed-loop control system recently finds applications in areas such as training of inexperienced operators by expert operator's model or developing warning systems for drivers by observing the driver model parameter variations. In this research, first, an experimental setup has been developed for collecting data from human operators as they controlled a nonlinear system. Appropriate reference signals and scenarios were designed according to the system identification and human operator modeling theory, to collect data from subjects. Different modeling schemes, namely ARX models as linear approach, and adaptive-network-based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) as intelligent modeling approach have been evaluated. A hybrid modeling method, fuzzy-ARX (F-ARX) model, has been developed and its performance was found to be better in terms of predicting human operator's control actions as well as replacing the operator as a stand-alone controller. It has been concluded that F-ARX models can be a good alternative for modeling the human operator. 相似文献

We developed a robotic arm for a master-slave system to support "mutual telexistence", which realizes remote dexterous manipulation tasks and close physical communication with other people using gestures. In this paper, we describe the specifications of the experimental setup of the master-slave arm to demonstrate the feasibility of the mutual telexistence concept. We developed the master arm of a telexistence robot for interpersonal communication. The last degree of the 7-degree-of-freedom slave arm is resolved by placing a small orientation sensor on the operator's arm. This master arm is made light and impedance control is applied in order to grant the operator as much freedom of movement as possible. For this development stage, we compared three control methods and confirmed that the impedance control method is the most appropriate to this system. 相似文献

Abstract Today many systems are highly automated. The human operator's role in these systems is to supervise the automation and intervene to take manual control when necessary. The operator's choice of automatic or manual control has important consequences for system performance, and therefore it is important to understand and optimize this decision process. One important determinant of operators' choice of manual or automatic control may be their degree of trust in the automation. However, there have been no experimental tests of this hypothesis until recently, nor is there a model of human trust in machines to form a theoretical foundation for empirical studies. In this paper a model of human trust in machines is developed, taking models of trust between people as a starting point, and extending them to the human-machine relationship. The resulting model defines human trust in machines and specifies how trust changes with experience on a system, providing a framework for experimental research on trust and human intervention in automated systems. 相似文献

Two contrasting models are proposed to account for an operator's performance during an insertion task using a teleoperated robot arm in which, in addition to haptic feedback, visual guidance is provided via a computer-generated display of the workspace. In the first model, the operator's internal aim is formulated as one of maximising the amount of information available, and in the second as one of minimising variance.Experimental measurements of the times to complete such a task are made, with various degrees of noise added to the pose of objects and different smoothing applied before generating the display. The observations appear inconsistent with the first performance model, suggesting that the operator prefers to use partial information rapidly, rather than to suffer the delay associated with extracting full information. The observations are more consistent with the operator as a minimiser of variance, an idea used successfully (albeit embodied in a different controller) by others in the modelling of human eye and arm trajectories, and in the prediction of the empirical Fitts’ law found in reaching and touching tasks.It is found that under relatively high noise, the operator performs best when pose is low-pass-filtered with a cut-off frequency comparable with the natural frequency at which the operator interacts with the environment. 相似文献

An experimental robotic remote handling system is described which has been constructed in order to investigate various engineering problems in advanced remote handling such as the man-machine interface, system control and communication. The device consists of a mobile and a control station. The mobile station comprises an electrical manipulator having seven degrees of freedom, a TV camera, a control sub-computer, a servo-control unit, radio transmitters and receivers, batteries, etc., which are mounted on a crawler-type vehicle. The control station is equipped with the master arm of the manipulator, radio transmitters and receivers, a TV monitor, a main control computer and its peripheral devices, etc. The manipulator can be operated in either a master-slave, a playback or a programmed control mode with the assistance of control computers. Communication between the mobile and the control stations is made using optical fibres or a radio link. 相似文献

This article presents distributed impedance as a new approach for multiple robot system control. In this approach, each cooperating manipulator is controlled by an independent impedance controller. In addition, along selected degrees of freedom, force control is achieved through an external loop, to improve control of the object's internal loading. Extensive stability analysis is performed, based on a realistic model that includes robot impedance and object dynamics. Experiments are performed using two cooperating industrial robots holding an object through point contacts. Force and position control actions are suitably dispatched to achieve both internal loading control and object position control. Individual impedance parameters are specified according to the theoritical stability criterion. The performance of the system is demonstrated for transportation and contact tasks. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

In this paper, a visual and haptic human–machine interface is proposed for teleoperated nano-scale object interaction and manipulation. Design specifications for a bilateral scaled tele-operation system with slave and master robots, sensors, actuators and control are discussed. The Phantom? haptic device is utilized as the master manipulator, and a piezoresistive atomic force microscope probe is selected as the slave manipulator and as topography and force sensors. Using the teleoperation control system, initial experiments are realized for interacting with nano-scale surfaces. It is shown that fine structures can be felt on the operator's finger successfully, and improved nano-scale interaction and manipulation using visual and haptic feedback can be achieved. 相似文献

An alternative approach for automatic trajectory-tracking control of small unmanned helicopters with fly-bar is proposed. This approach uses the spatial three-dimensional coordinates of a point on the helicopter's local coordinate frame other than its centre of gravity, called the control point, and the helicopter's yaw angle as four control outputs. The helicopter is assumed to have four independent control inputs. With this choice of control outputs, the helicopter's input–output model becomes a square control system, which opens the possibility of implementation of many robust nonlinear control methods that are suitable for such systems. The helicopter, which has six rigid body degrees of freedom (DOFs), has two underactuated DOFs (UA-DOFs). It is proved that the zero-dynamics of the UA-DOFs are inherently stable, leading to a stable control system. A sliding mode controller is designed for trajectory-tracking of the outputs. It is verified via simulations that the response of the control outputs and UA-DOFs are in fact stable. 相似文献

A trilateral teleoperation system facilitates the collaboration of two users to share control of a single robot in a remote environment. While various applications of shared-control trilateral haptic teleoperation systems have recently emerged, they have mostly been studied in the context of single-DOF, LTI robotic systems. On the other hand, robotic manipulators with multiple degrees of freedom (DOF) and therefore nonlinear dynamics have recently found many applications such as in robotic-assisted surgery and therapy, space exploration and navigation systems. In this paper, considering the full nonlinear dynamical models of multi-DOF robots, stability analysis of a dual-user haptic teleoperation system is considered over a communication network subjected to asymmetrical time varying delays and through a dominance factor suitable for trainer–trainee applications. Stability in free motion and contact motion and asymptotic position tracking of the trilateral haptic teleoperation system in free motion are proven via Lyapunov stability analysis and Barbalat's lemma where operators and the environment are assumed to be passive. Simulation and experimental results concerning robot position tracking and user-perceived forces for three 2-DOF robots and experimental analysis of user-perceived stiffnesses for three 3-DOF robots validate the theoretical findings pertaining to the system stability and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed controller. 相似文献

We describe an approach using a stochastic optimization framework (SOF) for operating complex mobile systems with several degrees of freedom (DOFs), such as robotic limbs with N joints, in environments that can contain obstacles. As part of the SOF, we have employed an efficient simulated annealing algorithm normally used in computationally highly expensive optimization and search problems such as the traveling salesman problem and protein design. This algorithm is particularly suited to run onboard industrial robots, robots in telemedicine, remote spacecraft, planetary landers, and rovers, i.e., robotic platforms with limited computational capabilities. The robotic limb deployment optimization approach presented here offers an alternative to time‐intensive robotic arm deployment path planning algorithms in general and in particular for robotic limb systems in which closed‐form solutions do not exist. Application examples for a (N = 4)‐DOF arm on a planetary exploration rover are presented. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

This study is expected to provide the best design of bipedal robot, which will help widen the application in the future. A new design system is presented through simplification of the control circuit, and the design of computer programs not only lowers the research barriers of the robots but also decreases the development costs. This design system can be used for various operations of manufacturing processes to make up the shortages of the flexibility for the robots. In recent years, the progress in electronics and the control technology has made the robots useful not only for dangerous and automatic tasks, but also for advanced and friendly people service. Thus, the robots have been used in the factories for automation and towards the general use in regular life. Of all robots, the bipedal robot attracts the most attention for its humanoid outlook, user-friendly design, and artificial intelligence for the human society. Many bipedal robots are developed to satisfy consumers’ needs. The control circuits and the program design are the key issues to make the bipedal robots. In this study, a synchronous robot controller for 31°-axis freedom is developed. The authors also equip a memory in the hardware architecture to store all moving commands of the bipedal robot. In terms of internal programs, the authors develop a human interface that synchronizes the movement of the robot and collects the pace data of the robot. The authors use the statistical method to analyze the data and establish a database of the robot's movement. With the database, one can finally drive the robot to walk and generate the pace design of the bipedal robots. 相似文献

Computed-torque control is a well-known motion control strategy for manipulators which ensures global asymptotic stability for fixed symmetric positive definite (proportional and derivative) gain matrices. In this paper, we show that global asymptotic stability also holds for a class of gain matrices depending on the manipulator state. This feature increases the potential of the computed-torque control scheme to handle practical constraint in actual robots such as presence of friction in the joints and actuators with limited torque capabilities. We illustrate this potential by means of a fuzzy self-tuning algorithm to select the proportional and derivative gains according to the actual tracking position error. Experiments on a two degrees of freedom robot arm show the usefulness of the proposed approach. 相似文献

Recently, various robots with many degrees of freedom, such as rescue robots and domestic robots, have been developed and
used in practical applications. It is difficult to control such robots autonomously in real environments, because in order
to control the many degrees of freedom, we have to observe many states, calculate huge amounts of information, and operate
many actuators. In this study, we consider a flexible robot without sensors or controllers that can determine the inclination
of a slope and climb up the slope. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework, we have developed
a prototype robot and conducted experiments. The result indicates that the robot could determine the inclination and climb
up a gentle slope autonomously. Thus, we have realized an autonomous robot that has no explicit sensors or controllers. 相似文献

Nonconventional control of the flexible pole-cart balancingproblem: Experimental results 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Emerging techniques of intelligent or learning control seem attractive for applications in manufacturing and robotics. It is however important to understand the capabilities of such control systems. In the past the inverted pendulum has been used as a test case, however, this problem is not sufficiently testing. This research therefore concentrates on the control of the inverted pendulum with additional degrees of freedom as a testing demonstrator problem for learning control system experimentation. A flexible pole is used in place of a rigid one. The transverse displacement of the flexible pole has distributed elasticity and therefore infinite degrees of freedom. The dynamics of this new system are more complex as the system needs additional parameters to be defined due to the pole's elastic deflection. This problem also has many of the significant features associated with flexible robots with lightweight links as applied in manufacturing. Novel neural network and fuzzy control systems are presented that control such a system in real time in one of its modes of vibration. A fuzzy-genetic approach is also demonstrated that allows the creation of fuzzy control systems without the use of extensive knowledge. 相似文献

A collision avoidance algorithm has been developed to augment the capability of an automatic (off-line) robot path planning (programming) tool. The use of off-line programming tools for robot task programming is becoming increasingly important, but the advantages to be gained by off-line programming may be lost if collision-free path planning capabilities are not included. This article addressed the problem of collision-free path planning in the context of a gantry type robot. The collision avoidance algorithm described here uses the <heuristic approach> to collision-free path planning. The manipulator and obstacles are modeled as spheres to simplify tests for collision. An important feature of this algorithm is that it permits the manipulation of objects in the robot's environment. When compared against an algorithm from the literature, given a lightly cluttered environment modelled by spheres, the new algorithm finds a collision-free path much faster. This new algorithm has been implemented as part of the CATIA/IBM 7565 interface which forms an automatic off-line programming system for the IBM 7565 robot. It has also been implemented as a supervisory collision filter to allow collision-free control of the robot from the operator's console. In both cases the algorithm has been demonstrated to provide efficient and effective collision avoidance for the IBM 7565 robot. 相似文献
