Based on human demonstration data, an adaptive control law that elucidates skillful human behavior is extracted and used for building a robot control system. This allows us to transfer, directly from the human to the robot, the ability to adapt to unknown, varying environments by monitoring changes and modifying control parameters accordingly. A functional relationship is formulated and identified from demonstration data that represents the relationship between what the human monitors in the task environment and what changes in control are made in response to the change in the task environment. A critical problem in identifying this adaptation law is to determine what a human detects in the task environment in order to make a control decision. Namely, the input space of human perception must be determined. In this paper, an efficient method for determining a sufficient set of input variables is presented. The method, based on the Lipschitz quotient, allows us to detect any lack of essential quantities in the input space without assuming any model or representation of the input-output relationship. The method is applied to robotic deburring, in which feedrate and compliance must be varied depending on the task environment, e.g., burr size and hardness. Data acquired from human deburring demonstrations are analyzed by using the Lipschitz quotient.","PeriodicalId":297258,"journal":{"name":"1992 American Control Conference","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116449092","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}

Adaptive controllers are used for such a purpose but mainly they require extensive computations and may not compensate large uncertainties in the system parameters. This paper presents a new approach for robust control. The developed concept is illustrated using a DC servo motor control system. An auxiliary compensating loop is developed to provide a stabilizing signal that eliminates the effect of system parameters variation while at the same time the primary servo controller is in action. The stabilizing signal is calculated using a simple and straight forward control law. The results obtained from system simulation illustrate clearly the effectiveness of the proposed scheme under large parameter variations in servo motor. The system with the suggested controller exhibits robust behaviour for variations in both the effective inertia and friction. The closed loop roots showed minimum sensitivity under large system parameter variations.","PeriodicalId":297258,"journal":{"name":"1992 American Control Conference","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122747829","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}
