In fact, the proposed model should be an alternative to full-scale testing of the device. The paper presents a calculation method that implements coupled calculations of the underwater vehicle dynamics and the hydrodynamics of the fluid, flowing around it. From the point of view of mechanics and hydrodynamics, this approach is the most accurate method for modeling the device dynamics in the presence of arbitrary control actions. The main advantage of the proposed calculation method is the conservative approximation scheme for hydrodynamic calculations, which is extremely important when performing non-stationary calculations. In addition, the proposed method requires less computational resources than other currently used coupled calculations methods. The proposed method was verified on a large data volume received from real autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) field tests and showed high accuracy in reproducing full-scale data. The developed calculation method was used for the designing AUV control system and showed its high efficiency.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"2180 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127470174","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}

Different assemblies of unit pressure sensors and their arrays were considered, their characteristics and fabrication methods were investigated. The structure of primary pressure transducer (PPT) array was presented; its operating principle of array was illustrated, calculated reference ratios were derived. The interface circuit, allowing to transform the changes in the primary transducer capacitance into voltage level variations, was proposed. A prototype sensor was implemented; the dependency of output signal power from the applied force was empirically obtained. In the range under 30 N it exhibited a linear pattern. The sensitivity of the array cells to the applied pressure is in the range 134.56..160.35. The measured drift of the output signals from the array cells after 10,000 loading cycles was 1.39%. For developed prototype of the pressure sensor array, based on the experimental data, the average signal-to-noise ratio over the cells was calculated, and equaled 63.47 dB. The proposed prototype was fabricated of easily available materials. It is relatively inexpensive and requires no fine-tuning of each individual cell. Capacitance-type operation type, compared to piezoresistive one, ensures greater stability of the output signal. The scalability and adjustability of cell parameters are achieved with layered sensor structure. The pressure sensor array, presented in this paper, can be utilized in various robotic systems.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125137563","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 is shown that increasing the level of autonomy of the robot allows reducing the operator’s load due to the division of labor between man and machine and to the implementation of the supervisory control mode, the essence of which is the decomposition of the mission into scenarios, which describe algorithms for solving functionally completed tasks and consists of sequence of simple technological operations. Such scenarios are executed automatically. In this case, the operator mainly implements the functions of monitoring and diagnostics, and the control functions are reduced to making decisions about the execution of the next scenario or intervention into execution of the current scenario in cases when the robot makes an obvious mistake or encounters a problem that it cannot solve on its own. Examples of supervisory control implementation when performing work on critical infrastructure facilities, performing search and rescue and other special operations under challenging conditions, including those of heterogeneous groups of robots, are given.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116458704","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}
