The approach to real-time data transfer, including handling of asynchronous priority interrupts, is accomplished by introduction of an intelligent interface node connected to the primary data communications channel or information systems backbone. A secondary communications channel is developed for this purpose. In simulation runs, the intelligent interface node was able to satisfy 99.1% of the real-time data transfer resource shortfalls that otherwise would have resulted without implementation of the knowledge-based expert system, including all of the highest-priority data transfers. Resolution of uncertain information is accomplished by use of the MYCIN shell, modified for the specific purposes of CIM implementation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"63 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":"116147023","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}

A Petri net transducer (PNT), which permits the description of concurrency and conflict, is introduced to model the dispatcher and coordinators with their ability to select the appropriate control actions among the alternatives corresponding to the nondeterministic property of the PNT. Synchronous composition of the PNTs is also defined to describe the synchronous operations of coordinators. The Petri net derived from the coordination structure underlies the precedence relationship of the information processing in the coordination level and provides the concepts and methods in Petri net theory for the analysis of various structure properties of coordination. It is shown that the liveness and boundedness of the entire coordination structure are guaranteed by the liveness and boundedness of the dispatcher and coordinators. Some results on the language properties of the PNT are also presented.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"13 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":"131551968","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 control scheme consists of two control systems: the hybrid control system and the learning control system. The hybrid control system is composed of two feedback loops, a position loop and a force loop, which produce inputs to end-effector actuators, based on errors in position and contact forces of selected degrees of freedom. The learning control system, consisting of two proportional-derivative type learning controllers also arranged in a hybrid structure, provides additional inputs to the actuators to improve the end-effector performance after each trial. Experimental studies performed on a two-degree-of-freedom end-effector show that the control scheme provides path tracking with satisfactory precision while maintaining contact forces with minimal errors after several trials.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"16 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":"130376730","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}

This philosophy is more general than the classical hierarchical structure and allows smart sensor feedback at the servo.

The focus is on the control of multifingered robot hands. The discussion includes a description of the well-behaved robot (a robot and low-level controller which are inherently good at manipulation) and focuses on manipulation strategy synthesis. The perceptual problem is not considered. A schematic of a proposed controller and a description of its major components are presented. Experiments illuminating the behavior of the strategy synthesis portion of the controller are presented for grasp planning and multifingered manipulation.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"61 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":"124655211","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}

A planning strategy is developed using results from the theory of heuristic search. In particular, using the developed Petri net framework and metric spaces, a class of heuristic functions that are both admissible and consistent for the A* algorithm is specified.

They analyze the stability of four well-known model-based force control systems: hybrid force control, resolved acceleration based force control, stiffness control, and impedance control. The analysis is based on linearized models and uses the Routh-Hurwitz criteria. The results show that the stability of the four control systems studied depends upon the feedback gains as well as the manipulator configuration. When an arm engaged in a contact task unexpectedly loses contact with the environment, all control systems studied except the hybrid control remain stable. The cause of instability in contact tasks is that the environmental stiffness matrix increases the equivalent position gain in the control system. If the velocity gain is chosen based only on the position gain neglecting a large environmental stiffness, the resulting system will be highly underdamped and possibly unstable.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"103 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":"134334819","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 proposed EMNEAC builds on two key online enhancement techniques: a knowledge-enhanced parameter identification (KEPI) algorithm and a maximal nonsaturating effort selection (MNES) algorithm. The KEPI algorithm uses a priori information about the characteristics of the physical system being controlled. It generates parameter estimates which lie within admissible ranges of physical values. The EMNEAC scheme incorporates an automatic self-selection of suitable closed-loop performance specifications for online self-tuning control design. It uses heuristic information derived from computed control input and designs a controller whose output level is kept with the admissible set of control. The result is that the EMNEAC scheme puts out maximal control effort for high tracking performance without saturating the control input of the system. It is more robust in terms of stability and achieves superior performance over other standard self-tuning control algorithms.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":155616,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings IEEE International Symposium on Intelligent Control 1988","volume":"5 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":"133403036","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}
