In the case where the state-space matrices of the system depend affinely on the uncertain parameters, it is known that recently developed extended or dilated linear matrix inequalities (LMIs) are effective to assess the robust performance in a less conservative fashion. This paper further probes into those preceding results and proposes a new form of extended LMIs for time-varying H2/Hinfin controllers synthesis. The new method enables us to parameterize controllers without involving the Lyapunov variables in the parameterization. The numerical simulations prove the validity of this framework.","PeriodicalId":227148,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems","volume":"93 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127001782","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}

Therefore, the various massage points, such as the change of the stiffness of human skin muscle, can be controlled by using impedance control method. The hybrid impedance control is comprised of the two methods of the position-based and the force-based impedance control were applied. The position-based impedance control is used to control the lateral position of massage on the human skin muscle. On the other hand, the force-based impedance control is used to control the force of the vertical direction on human skin muscle. This paper also gives the identification of human skin muscle through robot perception of impedance to decide the parameter of impedance controller. The control strategy using impedance control to implement an adaptive control system is presented, when human condition is changed with soft and hard skin muscle.

The approach is perfectly suited for mobile robots equipped with a camera because bearings can be extracted from images with high accuracy. In contrast to existing approaches, our method does not need any internal representation of the robot's position which is updated by alternating motion and sensor updates. In our approach the location is calculated by applying constraints on the robot's position which are derived from the observations and performed actions that are stored in a short-term memory. We give a detailed description of the method and analyze the properties of different observation selection mechanisms. Results of experiments done in simulation and conducted on a Sony Aibo robot are presented in this paper demonstrating the precision of the method.","PeriodicalId":227148,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121212375","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}

By combining two strongly heterogeneous robots the diversity of accomplishable tasks increases as the variety of sensors and actuators in the robot systems is extended compared with a team consisting of homogeneous robots. The scenario describes a tightly cooperative task, where the humanoid robot and the wheeled robot follow for a long distance a ball, which is kicked finally by the humanoid robot into a goal. The task can be fulfilled successfully by combining the abilities of both robots. For task distribution and allocation, a newly developed objective function is presented which is based on a proper modeling of the sensing, perception, motion and onboard computing capabilities of the cooperating robots. Aspects of reliability and fault tolerance are considered.","PeriodicalId":227148,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems","volume":"809 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121327751","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 solving of the dexterous manipulation planning problem is based upon the exploration of this subspace. The proposed approach captures the connectivity of GSn in a graph structure. The answer of the manipulation planning query is then given by searching a path in the computed graph.

The major requirement to perform any micromanipulation task effectively is to ensure the controlled motion of actuators within nanometer accuracy with low overshoot even under the influence of disturbances. Moreover, to achieve high dexterity in manipulation, control of the interaction forces is required. In micromanipulation, control of interaction forces necessitates force sensing in milli-Newton range with nano-Newton resolution . In this paper, we present a position controller based on a discrete time sliding mode control architecture along with a disturbance observer. Experimental verifications for this controller are demonstrated for 100, 50 and 10 nanometer step inputs applied to PZT stages. Our results indicate that position tracking accuracies up to 10 nanometers, without any overshoot and low steady state error are achievable. Furthermore, the paper includes experimental verification of force sensing within nano-Newton resolution using a piezoresistive cantilever end- effector. Experimental results are compared to the theoretical estimates of the change in attractive forces as a function of decreasing distance and of the pull off force between a silicon tip and a glass surface, respectively. Good agreement among the experimental data and the theoretical estimates has been demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":227148,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116174825","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 problem of using vision sensors is that they do not provide ID information of each people and there are ambiguities when people come across. To solve the problem, we propose to combine acceleration sensors that are attached to the human body. Since the signals from vision sensors and acceleration sensors synchronize when they observe same person who are acting or walking in the environment, these signals are not independent. The correlation between the signals is evaluated based on the canonical correlation analysis.

However, it cannot control the walking behavior because it is dominated by the fixed body dynamics. Observing the human cyclic locomotion emerged by elastic muscles, we add the compliant hip joint on PDW, and we propose a \"phasic dynamics tuner\" that changes the body dynamics by tuning the joint compliance in order to control the walking behavior. The joint compliance is obtained by driving the joint utilizing antagonistic and agonistic McKibben pneumatic actuators. This paper shows that PDW with the compliant joint and the phasic dynamics tuner enhances the walking performance than present PDW with passive free joints. The phasic dynamics tuner can change the walking velocity by tuning the joint compliance.
