The control structure combines open-loop control and closed-loop control. The specific organization is designed on the philosophy that open-loop control should be used to take full advantage of a priori knowledge and feedback control should be used for regulation against modeling uncertainties and disturbances. With this control structure learning takes place in the open-loop controller. In each iteration the share of the open-loop control in the total control input increases, while that of the closed-loop control decreases. Convergence theorems are established as design guidelines for learning algorithms. Numerical examples are given.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125341703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show a remarkable improvement over conventional variable-structure controllers, maintaining, however, a low computational complexity which makes the present controller well suited for microcomputer implementation. Furthermore, the well-known standard heuristic procedures of controller adjustment can be used in the proposed scheme. This is of utmost importance when considering its implementation in an industrial environment.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"128 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116032364","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary goal of the modeling effort is to evaluate alternative real-time resource algorithms needed for certain planning tasks in stressing time-varying environments. The simulation permits investigation into high-level plan generation (e.g. object sequencing), which relies on a rather rich internal description of the operational environment. Simple sequencing algorithms have been developed and evaluated using the simulation. The model provides a tool suitable for addressing the interdependence of platform engineering parameters (acceleration, refire rate, field of view, range) and platform management (e.g. sequencing algorithm) and the resulting overall effectiveness.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122314529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Robots in such systems have to cooperate to accomplish prespecified global tasks under the government of a protocol. The problem of robots in a CRS spatially rearranging themselves to form desired patterns within the field of operation is discussed. Example protocols that generate alternating and arbitrarily predefined patterns in one-dimensional linear arrangements and protocols that make robots seal one side or all sides of two-dimensional grids are presented. Mathematical proofs of the correctness of these protocols have been obtained.

In particular, they consider the structure in vertebrate animals that utilizes multiple sensory inputs to orient the sensor platform, i.e. the body or the head, toward objects of interest. This structure is known as the optic tectum in lower vertebrates and the superior colliculus in mammals. The representation of the various sensory modalities on the tectum follows the maplike image format of the retina. This requires in some cases a considerable transformation from the original representation of the sensory input available from the other sensors. As an example, the authors present a detailed discussion of the visual/acoustic object localization system of the barn owl along with a model for the adaptive coregistration of the coordinate systems of the visual and acoustic maps on the tectum.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"14 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125703324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing hybrid control law is rewritten in terms of the state of these constrained dynamic models. The hybrid control law is shown to be a linear feedback of the deviation from the nominal state of the constrained manipulator dynamic equations of motion. This result is illustrated through reformulation of the generalized force due to contact in terms of the Lagrange multipliers, which properly account for the constraints imposed on the manipulator through contact with a rigid work environment. Thus, while it appears that the hybrid control scheme utilizes feedback of the generalized contact force, this feedback is shown to be more compactly written in terms of the Lagrange multipliers, leading to a reformulation of the hybrid feedback control law.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"216 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127994543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
