The model uses the self-organizing feature map as the basic structure. Each hippocampal place cell is represented by a neural node. The robot builds up the hippocampal place cells layer through environment exploration. The simulation results show that the model has self-learning ability, which enables robots to acquire environment knowledge and establish a complete cognitive map gradually like human beings and animals, making the robot's environment cognition and navigation process become more bionic and intelligent.","PeriodicalId":256405,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 4th International Conference on Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116238833","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}

In this paper, we propose a new adaptive synchronized sliding mode controller for planar parallel manipulators by using fuzzy logic system. The proposed controller is based on the combination of the definition of synchronized control, sliding mode control and online self-tuning fuzzy logic system. Firstly, the dynamic model of parallel manipulators is presented in active joint space. Based on this dynamic model, a synchronized sliding mode controller is developed. And then, in order to compensate the uncertainties of the control system, an online self-tuned fuzzy logic system is adopted. The self-tuning law is proposed by using the cross-coupling error of the parallel manipulator. The stability of the closed loop system is guaranteed by using Lyapunov theory. The simulations were conducted on Matlab/Simulink to verify the effectively of the proposed control algorithm.","PeriodicalId":256405,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 4th International Conference on Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132230401","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}

Those demands are summarized in the requirements list. Classic design methodologies do not directly relate a system or part of it to the requirements list. As a result, by failing to ensure that the qualification of requirements is traceable, when a problem arises, design engineers lose the ability to track back and quickly locate one or more not fulfilled requirements. Our work shows how requirements traceability for mechatronic design can be achieved by employing a Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) methodology and associated tool, Systems Modeling Language (SysML). SysML is a general purpose multiview language for systems modeling capable of linking requirements to the system elements by capturing textual requirements and placing them in the design models. Furthermore, SysML can be coupled to other tools including spreadsheets and design and simulation software, such as Matlab or Modelica, enabling requirements verification. An electro-mechanical actuator (EMA) -an airplane surface actuatoris chosen as a mechatronic system example. By joining SysML and Matlab/Simulink, it was possible to trace requirements for the EMA mechatronic design and hence verify compliance with requirements throughout the design.","PeriodicalId":256405,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2018 4th International Conference on Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114911448","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}
