Also, several sensor and actuator faults may occur in the robot mechanism, thereby decreasing control performance. In this paper, a fault detection algorithm is proposed which is based on a sliding mode observer. In addition, a robust sliding-mode controller is designed for the spherical robot control based on Lyapunov stability theorem. In order to control the spherical robot, the controller guides the states towards the equilibrium point which is the desired position. The closed-loop system and fault detection algorithm are numerically simulated by MATLAB. The obtained results confirm the performance of the closed-loop system and fault detection algorithm.","PeriodicalId":166992,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th RSI International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (ICRoM)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132214027","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}

Kinetostatic indices that examine the performance of robot are essential in robot design and control. The popular indices, manipulability, dexterity and kinematic sensitivity are all investigated in order to evaluate the performance of the developed 3-DOF Delta parallel robot. In addition, as parallel robots generally have a limited workspace, obtaining the workspace by considering the mechanical interference is of paramount importance. The mechanical interference, including collision of links, collision of links with obstacles, collision of the end-effector with obstacles, are also examined by using a new geometrical approach. The proposed method is based on the segment-to-segment intersection test and can be expanded to a wide range of robotic mechanical systems, including, among others, cable-driven parallel robots. Moreover, in this paper, a new CFW index is defined which can be used to investigate the workspace with respect to mechanical interference. Furthermore, the aforesaid index provides some insight into obtaining a well-conditioned workspace.","PeriodicalId":166992,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th RSI International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (ICRoM)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122211392","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 approach of this paper is to improve the efficiency of uncertain SEAs in control engineering aspects. Hence, a robust control design including combination of unscented Kalman filter (UKF) and sliding mode control (SMC) is developed for linear force-controlled SEA system.

While estimating true position of obstacles is a rudimentary prerequisite for avoiding them, to optimize the path, the robots should use the velocity and acceleration of obstacles to estimate their course and take the best path according to them. This paper presents an algorithm that calculates the position and estimates the dynamics of moving obstacles with an RGB-D camera mounted on a mobile robot. In this algorithm, the depth map is used to detect the obstacles and their position. Furthermore, velocity and acceleration of the obstacles are estimated using fusion of derivative of position and optical flow. To validate this algorithm, a series of tests are conducted and the results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in obstacles detection and their dynamics estimation.","PeriodicalId":166992,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th RSI International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (ICRoM)","volume":"365 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134545819","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}
