However, there exist a lot of factors including the compliance and friction between the tendon and sheath which may contribute to the nonlinearity of the tendon-sheath system. In addition, the absence of sensors at distal end also sets a limit to the application of tendon-sheath. In this paper, a tendon-sheath-driven robot for searching and rescuing is introduced and the transmission models of tendon-sheath system are proposed. 3D reconstruction of tendon-sheath system is utilized for the identification of parameters involved in the model. Two methods are presented according to whether the sensor information at distal end can be obtained or not. In order to make up for the nonlinearity of the system, the sliding control method is adopted. Despite of the lack of feedback information, a combination of inverse compensation and sliding mode control is put forward. Furthermore, a set of experiments are carried out in order to validate our proposed models and methods.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115754149","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}

According to previous research, the back-drivability of torsion torque control using torsion torque sensor depends on load-side friction. Therefore, the authors focus on load-side torque control. Load-side torque is estimated using load-side torque observer because load-side torque cannot be detected in this system. Using estimated load-side torque feedback, the back-drivability of the proposed method becomes infinite. The back-drivability of the three methods (i.e., P-D, I-PD, and pseudo I-PD) are compared using the simulation and experimental results. Finally, the simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"126 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114584931","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}

However, no optical diffusion model has been proposed to relate depth information to the basic principle of intensity distribution during optical diffusion. In this paper, heat diffusion equation in physics is introduced into optical diffusion, and a mathematic model of intensity distribution during optical diffusion is constructed. A high-precision shape reconstruction method with optical diffusion is proposed based on heat diffusion equation. First, an optical diffusion model is introduced to explain the basic principle of diffusion imaging process. Second, a novel shape reconstruction method based on global heat diffusion is proposed within our optical diffusion model. Finally, simulation with synthetic images and experiment with five playing cards are conducted, and the result proves the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121896094","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}

A target piezo-driven stage is installed the capacitive sensor to detect the accurate stage displacement, while the sensing system generally includes the phase delay due to the data conversion process and the lowpass filters in the amplifier to remove the sensor noise. In this paper, MEMS accelerometer signal is integrated into the displacement signal detected by capacitive sensor to improve the phase characteristic at high frequency range, where the composite filters for integrating two sensor outputs are generally designed considering a summation result as 1. According to the sensor characteristic, however, a simple filter design approach causes the deterioration of the output characteristic by the interference. In order to solve the problem, PQ method as a filter design guideline is adopted to compensate for the interference between the sensor outputs. The effectiveness of the design approach has been verified by experiments using the piezo-driven stage system.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121972104","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 PAM's nonlinearity, hysteresis and time-varying characteristics cause difficulties in modeling its behavior and designing high-performance controllers. Here, a generalized three-element model of a PAM is proposed to obtain the reference model in the reference mode (in a given small pressure range). The equivalent state space representation of the reference model is obtained by applying the linearization approach. The model error is introduced to the equivalent state space model, and the joint estimation is adopted to estimate the system state and the model error simultaneously. Experimental studies are conducted to demonstrate the existence of the model error, and verify the necessity of introducing the model error to the reference model, and evaluate the effect of the proposed active modeling approach in changing modes (not in the given pressure range).","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129835515","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 active knee joint and the double-tendon-sheath transmission system are applied to reduce the weight of the orthosis and achieve preferable maneuverability. A PID controller is used to validate the feasibility of the orthosis, and a fuzzy controller is developed to perform the walking assistance experiments. Finally, two groups of EMG signal tests were conducted to verify the assisting effectiveness of the orthosis. The results obtained from the two EMG evaluation experiments demonstrate that the proposed orthosis can reduce muscular power consumption during walking and proved the usability of the whole system.","PeriodicalId":273847,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE 14th International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"94 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125504046","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}
