A cognitive robot architecture based on tactile and visual information

In this paper, we propose an architecture for a cognitive robot based on tactile and visual information. Visual information contains various features such as location and area of various colored regions. Most of these features are irrelevant for object recognition to achieve the given task. In the architecture, tactile information plays a key role in the selection of visual features and discritization of selected features. In order to find appropriate visual features we use a correlation coefficient between the values of the features and action series. Then the ChiMerge algorithm is employed to discritize the value of the selected feature into a small number of intervals. Consequently, quantization of a state space to accomplish the given task is achieved. An appropriate behavior to the given task is acquired by using this state space with reinforcement learning algorithm. We give experimental results of computer simulation to show the validity of our method.     

Transition Motion from Ladder Climbing to Brachiation with Optimal Load-Allocation Control

Abstract

This paper describes the transition motion from ladder climbing to brachiation for a multi-locomotion robot (MLR). The MLR has versatile modes of locomotion, such as biped walking, quadruped walking, brachiation and ladder climbing. The transition is a challenging motion, because the environmental boundaries change and the robot has to switch the form of its locomotion depending on its surroundings, situations and purposes. The robot supports itself with three end-effectors that maintain its stability, while one hand transfers from a rung on the vertical ladder to a new rung behind the robot for brachiation. A closed kinematic chain is formed by the robot links and the ladder. In this case, if the number of position-controlled active joints is greater than the number of the chain’s degrees of freedom, an internal stress appears because of unavoidable position errors. The huge internal stress may lead some motors to become overloaded. Since the safety of each motor is very important for a serial-link robot, a load-allocation algorithm is proposed to balance the loads of the joint motors. The algorithm is verified through experiments.     

On rotations and translations with application to robot manipulators

Robot motion is described by a set of positions and orientations of the robot's end-effector relative to some base coordinate system. Different methods to describe this motion are available and most of them are presented in this paper. Methods for position vector, free vector, and line vector transformation are presented and compared, and the advantages and disadvantages, the simplicity, and the number of arithmetic operations required of the different methods are addressed. An example of the application of these methods to a six degree-of-freedom robot is given.

Iterative Learning Control Algorithm with a Fixed Step

Iterative Learning Control (ILC) captures interests of many scholars because of its capability of high precision control implement without identifying plant mathematical models, and it is widely applied in control engineering. Presently, most ILC algorithms still follow the original ideas of ARIMOTO, in which the iterative-learning-rate is composed by the control error with its derivative and integral values. This kind of algorithms will result in inevitable problems such as huge computation, big storage capacity for algorithm data, and also weak robust. In order to resolve these problems, an improved iterative learning control algorithm with fixed step is proposed here which breaks the primary thought of ARIMOTO. In this algorithm, the control step is set only according to the value of the control error, which could enormously reduce the computation and storage size demanded, also improve the robust of the algorithm by not using the differential coefficient of the iterative learning error. In this paper, the convergence conditions of this proposed fixed step iterative learning algorithm is theoretically analyzed and testified. Then the algorithm is tested through simulation researches on a time-variant object with randomly set disturbance through calculation of step threshold value, algorithm robustness testing,and evaluation of the relation between convergence speed and step size. Finally the algorithm is validated on a valve-serving-cylinder system of a joint robot with time-variant parameters. Experiment results demonstrate the stability of the algorithm and also the relationship between step value and convergence rate. Both simulation and experiment testify the feasibility and validity of the new algorithm proposed here. And it is worth to noticing that this algorithm is simple but with strong robust after improvements, which provides new ideas to the research of iterative learning control algorithms.
