The proposed structure takes into account that the system may contain several robots of different type, a certain number of cooperating devices, diverse sensors and also the fact that the task, the system has to execute, and the number and type of its components may vary considerably over time. The concept has been verified by designing a controller for a prototype RNT robot and an ASEA IRb-6 type robot. The flexibility of the system is due to the software, so the programming aspect is treated in detail.","PeriodicalId":131049,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First Workshop on Robot Motion and Control.

The proposed method constructs a feasible schedule by exploiting the constraint propagation mechanism determining the flow of automated guided vehicles. The AGVS is treated as a distributed system composed of autonomous and repetitive processes of automated guided vehicle (AGV) flows. Its periodic behaviour follows from a class of repetitive job shops considered. The approach employs a concept of asynchronous traffic semaphores that provide local mechanism (a dispatching rule) for vehicle flows synchronization. Setting and allocation of particular dispatching rules results in distributed control of vehicle flows possessing self-synchronization features.","PeriodicalId":131049,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First Workshop on Robot Motion and Control.

The evolution of four joint variables is assumed to be polynomial functions of the fourth order. The evolution of the other variable is deduced from the dynamic model of the biped. The coefficients of the polynomial functions are chosen to optimize the criteria and insure cyclic motion of the biped. The criteria chosen are maximal motion velocity, minimal torque, and minimal energy. These criteria are functions of some parameters, which define the configurations of the biped, its step length, and duration of the step. To minimize these functions means to find the optimal motion. Also, the optimal gait is defined with respect to given performances of actuators: the torques and velocities at the output of the gear are bounded. For this study, the physical parameters of a prototype are used.","PeriodicalId":131049,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the First Workshop on Robot Motion and Control. RoMoCo'99 (Cat.
