The NRH planner is called by a high level manager, in the outer control loop, to solve a sequence of optimal control problems. The planned motion provide a sequence of reference set points for the faster inner control loop until a new plan is available. The lateral motion is controlled through the steering command by tracking the yaw rate reference. The longitudinal motion is controlled by means of the throttle/braking coupled command by tracking the planned forward speed profiles. The paper discusses the results of some simulation results. The project description proceeds as follows: Section II describes the system architecture from vehicle and communication to software. Section III and IV details the motion planning and control algorithms. In Section V the simulation results regarding the NRH based controller are discussed.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121278280","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}

That is for weight saving and miniaturization of robotic end-effector that are demanded in surgical robots especially. The flexible actuator has stiffness and flexibility. Therefore it transmits force input from the motor to the end-effector, and puts the end-effector on any position against the motor. Then flexible actuator can be used with bilateral control. With bilateral control, it can transmit force sensation from the end-effector contacting environment to operators. In this paper, a torque wire for transmission of rotation and torque is developed, and the characteristics of position/torque transmission are validated. Steady-state error is caused between the motor input and the end-effector response. The error is due to elastic torque of the torque wire as well as frictional torque between an inner wire and an outer tube. The end-effector response corresponds to the motor input. Then, availability of the torque wire is confirmed.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126028098","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}

Both friction forces and cutting forces contribute to positioning and tracking errors. This paper considers contour tracking errors caused by friction forces only. The complex non-linear behaviour of friction at motion reversal causes a unique tracking error known as quadrant glitch. Compensation of quadrant glitches is desired to minimize surface contour error that is visible in circular tracking test. This paper analyzed, simulated and experimentally validated three different friction compensation strategies on a machine tool linear drive: (i) feedforward based on two friction models proposed in the literature, (ii) an inverse- model-based disturbance observer, and (iii) the combination of friction model feedforward and disturbance observer. The considered friction models are a simple static friction model and the recently developed Generalized Maxwell-slip friction model. The combination of feedforward based on the Generalized Maxwell-slip friction model and the disturbance observer yield the smallest tracking error and glitches.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"176 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126071126","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}

Such support rooms are expected to be further developed in the future with the high performance to automatically recognize elderly people's actions and behavior patterns and detect the unusual patterns using some sensors and to support their daily motions using some robotic manipulator control systems. The proposed monitoring system using an omnidirectional vision sensor automatically learns the daily behavior patterns and detects the unusual behavior patterns and actions using Bayesian network approach. The Bayesian network is constructed using image feature values such as the area and center-of gravity values extracted from the captured image sequence and the respective behavior patterns are represented as the conditional probabilities. Unusual behavior patterns can be automatically detected based on the low generation probability values. Some experiments based on the investigation of elderly people's typical daily behavior patterns show the effectiveness of the proposed system.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115089866","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}

Most of the controllers of commercial AFMs are designed by classic control theory. However, sophisticated control theory has been applied in recent academic papers. Authors have already proposed a surface topography observer (STO) based on disturbance observer theory in contact mode. In this paper, perfect tracking control (PTC) is applied to contact-mode AFM with surface topography learning. PTC can guarantee that the error between the plant output and the desired trajectory becomes perfectly zero at every sampling point when the plant has no modeling error. Moreover, a surface topography learning observer (STLO) is proposed to generate feedforward compensation signal based on STO.

While traditional input shaping design strategies are often analytical, the present paper introduces a design method based on numerical optimization. It is shown that, through a careful selection of the optimization variables, objective function and constraints, it is possible to obtain a linear optimization problem. As a result, it is guaranteed that the globally optimal input shaper be found in a few seconds of computational time. The presented optimization framework is able to handle higher-order, linear time-invariant dynamic systems, as opposed to traditional input shapers, which are mainly based on second- order systems. Moreover, constraints on input, output and state variables are easily accounted for, as well as robustness against parametric uncertainty. Numerical results illustrate the capability of the proposed design approach to reproduce existing input shaping design approaches, while experimental results illustrate its potential for higher-order systems.","PeriodicalId":192217,"journal":{"name":"2008 10th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-03-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131656587","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}
