The goal of the studies is to develop a new control method for target capturing in a space micro-gravity environment, considering the dynamical interaction between the manipulator operation and the base vehicle motion. In the theoretical study, a generalized Jacobian matrix (GJM) concept of motion control and a guaranteed workspace (GWS) for path planning are investigated. In the experimental study, a laboratory model of a robot satellite supported on air bearings is developed; the model comprises a base satellite and a two-link manipulator arm. An on-line control scheme with vision feedback is developed for experimenting with capture operations, on the basis of the GJM and GWS. The manipulator can properly chase and capture both a standing target and a moving target in spite of the complex satellite/manipulator dynamical interaction.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114669460","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}

Petri net structures can be considered as language generators, and different languages associated with them are examined. An important operator, synchronization, is introduced and its counterpart on a Petri net structure is studied. Finally, the authors introduce the concept of easiness, and study how this property is preserved by synchronization. A net is easy when the solution of the state equation gives a sufficient condition for reachability. The main result is that, although easiness is not preserved in general by synchronization, one can define classes of synchronization that are easiness-invariant.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116668320","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}

These schemes are designed to increase the rate of adaptation of the existing L/sub R-P/ schemes while interacting with nonstationary environments. The first of these two schemes is called a nonlinear scheme incorporating history (NSIH) and the second a nonlinear scheme with unstable zones (NSWUZ). The prime objective of these algorithms is to reduce the number of iterations needed for the action probability vector to reach the desired level of accuracy rather than converge to a specific unit vector in the Cartesian coordinate. Simulation experiments have been conducted to assess the learning properties of NSIH and NSWUZ in nonstationary environments. The simulation results show that the proposed nonlinear algorithms respond to environmental changes faster than the L/sub R-P/ scheme.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":287089,"journal":{"name":"29th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116901948","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}
