One of them is of hydrodynamic origin: the flow resistance of the system is proportional to the square root of certain pressure difference that has infinite derivative at zero. The other nonlinearity is caused by the discontinuous behavior of the friction and adhesion forces between the piston and the cylinder at zero piston velocity. Such a behavior is difficult to control by the traditional PID controllers. Furthermore, uncertainties and variation of the hydrodynamic parameters in general make it unrealistic to develop an accurate model for such systems. Brocker and Lemmen proposed two different control approaches for the differential hydraulic cylinders based on the disturbance rejection, and on the partial flatness principles, respectively. In each case it was necessary to measure the external disturbance force and its time-derivative as well as to know the exact model of the system. Later on Tar et al. proposed an alternative adaptive approach that does not require to measure the disturbance force and to know the exact parameters of the cylinder. This method rejected to use time-derivatives because of the presence of friction, and, as a consequence it resulted in a very hectic transient phase of learning. In this paper an alternative approach is presented that combines this approach with the use of calculated time-derivatives that are \"rejected\" by adoptively varying the order of the derivation applied. In this way the harsh initial transients can be evaded. The operation of the method is presented by simulations.","PeriodicalId":142727,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2005.

The controller minimizes some meaningful cost dependent on the controller, which is not given in advance, and the designed system has a stability margin which guarantees robustness with respect to input uncertainties. This robust property is a very important issue for a blimp which has large uncertainties.

The surgeon can be asked to operate on an organ not directly reachable through any keyhole opened on the patient abdomen, e.g. due to the presence of other organs surrounding it. In this case, an alternative to complex and dangerous displacement operations of the surrounding organs inside the patient is the use of a highly dexterous robotic arm able to reach the operating region by moving around the organs. The paper proposes a mini robot composed of modules with different mobility connected in series through mechanical/power/control interfaces. The workspace and performances of the robot can be adapted to the particular surgical operation to be carried out by changing the composition of the chain (type and position of the modules). Data stored in a database allow the easy determination of the workspace and provide information about the velocity ellipsoids and the presence of singularities. With reference to the results of the preoperative exams and by means of the information stored in the database, the best robot architecture, for the surgical operation to be carried out, can be selected.","PeriodicalId":142727,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2005.

It provides a quite simple representation of non-precise information and algebraic operations on them. If one performs many operations on OFN's then the fuzziness of their results is limited in contrast to the operations on standard convex fuzzy numbers. The implementation of OFN in a fuzzy controller is made. The controller makes use of multi-conditional fuzzy rules. New methods of determining their levels of activities are proposed as well inference methods based on special properties of OFNs. Fuzzy control is applied here to a hypothetical process of moving device (can be related to car, robot, etc.). Proposed control uses the readings from two devices: actual speed and distance to a critical (boundary) point, which cannot be achieved. The control variable is the applying acceleration. Goal of the control is to keep the device in a safe distance from the critical point.","PeriodicalId":142727,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Fifth International Workshop on Robot Motion and Control, 2005.
