On the one hand the agent model submits to use results of the distributed artificial intelligence (DAI), on the other hand, typical aspects of robot systems must be integrated. Therefore, an agent model will be presented serving the special requirements of robot systems and offering many advantages like robustness, high efficiency, and the chance of integrating reactive and deliberative behavior. The agent model also enables the use of different programming paradigms, ranging from complex over hierarchical to object-oriented agents. Finally, a typical set of agents is presented, forming a multi-layered, distributed and reactive (MDR) robot task-level transformer.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115103030","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}

An adaptive nonlinear observer is suggested for Lipschitz nonlinear systems and the stability of this observer is shown to be related to finding solutions to a quadratic inequality involving two variables. A coordinate transformation is used to reformulate this inequality as a linear matrix inequality. A systematic algorithm is presented which checks for feasibility of a solution to the quadratic inequality and yields an observer whenever the solution is feasible. The state estimates then are guaranteed to converge to zero asymptotically. The convergence of the parameters, however, is determined by a persistence-of-excitation type constraint.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123065693","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}

Designing a discrete-time FLC is significant because almost all FLCs are implemented on digital computers. A repeatable design algorithm and a stability proof are presented for an adaptive fuzzy logic controller that uses basis vectors based on the fuzzy system, unlike most standard adaptive control approaches which use basis vectors depending on the unknown plant (e.g. a tediously computed \"regression matrix\"). The authors select an e-modification sort of approach to adapt the fuzzy system parameters. Using this adaptive fuzzy logic controller, the authors prove uniform ultimate boundedness of the closed-loop signals and that the controller achieves tracking. In fact, the fuzzy system designed is a model-free universal fuzzy controller that works for any system in the given class of systems.","PeriodicalId":219623,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of Tenth International Symposium on Intelligent Control","volume":"116 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1995-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134358301","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}
