This paper presents a simple approach for hand-arm coordination in Cartesian space which subdivides the object motion into hand and arm portions using only a few easily interpretable parameters. Applying well-known stiffness control approaches for the hand and the arm respectively, the problem of controlling the subsystems appropriately (including force control) is solved. The results of experiments using a system with 15 degrees of freedom are shown and discussed.","PeriodicalId":299306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS '93)","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117291124","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 input-output linearized system has a nonlinear internal dynamics. In this paper, the internal dynamics of the mobile robot under the look-ahead control is first characterized. The look-ahead control takes the coordinates of a reference point in front of the mobile robot as the output equation. Using a novel Lyapunov function, the stability of the internal dynamics is then analyzed. In particular, it is shown that the internal motion of the mobile robot is asymptotically stable when the reference point is commanded to move forward, whereas the internal motion is unstable when the reference point moves backward. Simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the analysis.","PeriodicalId":299306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS '93)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123688182","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}

It can be regarded that CEBOT is one of the multi-agents robotic systems studied by many researchers. It is generally considered that one of the features of the multi-agents robot is that the system can carry out many kinds of tasks under various environments due to coordination among many agents. It is assumed that a group of the agents can get higher performance than an ability of single agent. In this paper, the relation between the resource amount, which implies both hardware and software installed into the system, and system performance is discussed. At first, a new concept called function amplification is proposed and defined, the control law of each agent to achieve the function amplification is secondarily discussed. In the last part of this paper, some simulations are reported and discussed to demonstrate the relation between resource amount and system performance.","PeriodicalId":299306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS '93)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129320921","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}

Since the centipede type walking robot has more legs than other type robots, a centipede type walking robot transports a heavier payload than an other type robot. The walking sequence of this robot is different from conventional multi-legged walking robot that has a half cycle difference between the front and rear neighbor legs. A lateral pair of legs makes a unit, and a unit follows the movement of the front neighbor unit with a quarter delay of the walking cycle. Thus, this robot walks with statically stable condition. This robot also differs from conventional walking robots that have a controller to control movement of whole robot legs. This centipede type walking robot has computers for each pair of legs. These computers control legs and communicate the front and rear neighbor computers. No computer of these computers controls the whole robot. All legs without the head pair of legs follow the movement of the front neighbor legs with quarter walking cycle delay, then the whole robot walks with static stability.","PeriodicalId":299306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS '93)","volume":"42 11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130660760","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 system operates dynamically by analyzing different parts of the input scene at variable levels of resolution through an attentional spotlight. A constant amount of information is gathered from the scene and a fixed dimension icon is produced, so that a trade-off occurs between the extension of the examined area and the level of resolution at which data are analyzed. The position of the spotlight and its dimensions are determined on the basis of the evolution of the recognition process. The icon is processed by a bottom-up path composed of a five-layer artificial neural network. The results of this net are analyzed by a planning module which determines if recognition has been achieved, or which action to undertake next. A top-down path, including a set of nets trained by the backpropagation algorithm, evaluates the parameters of the next sampling of information. The application of the system to object recognition with varying viewpoint and range from the camera is investigated.","PeriodicalId":299306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS '93)","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129213178","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}

Direct measurement of configuration and velocity of the grasped object is difficult in practice. It is well known that the displacement of the rigid body is completely specified by the initial and final positions of three noncolinear points fixed on the object. Similarly, the instantaneous velocity of the rigid body can be determined from the linear velocity of three noncolinear points fixed on the body. Previously developed algorithms are computationally involved by the need to compute several trigonometric functions or matrix inverses. The authors present alternate computationally efficient algorithms for determining the displacement and the velocity of an object handled by a three-fingered robot hand.","PeriodicalId":299306,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of 1993 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS '93)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129260716","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}
