One of these problems is the problem of forming surfaces of complex shapes. This task is relevant in many areas of human activity such as industry, art, and human-machine interfaces. However, among the existing solutions, there are none that could provide the possibility of forming complex surfaces under the influence of a load, while providing compact weight-dimensional characteristics. The purpose of this article is to develop the concept of a mechatronic device for the tasks of constructing surfaces of complex shape with high accuracy, the possibility of positioning under a large axial load, and measuring the axial forces exerted by objects of manipulation. The article selects the initial design parameters based on the analysis of devices similar in functionality. Next, the selection of compo-nents, the development of the layout of functional components, control electronics, and design, and the implemen-tation of a 3D model of the final device are carried out. It also describes a method for managing a group of re-ceived mechatronic devices by using a single data bus with a specialized protocol.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"2009 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116052204","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 methods ensure the joint operation of two autonomous underwater vehicles both in the mode of semi-automatic positional remote control of the manipulator, and in the mode of automatic execution of operations with various objects by them. At the same time, in both modes, work is considered in situations when the vision system of the main underwater vehicle does not allow observing the object of work, which is nevertheless located in the working area of the manipulator. In this case, the auxiliary inspection underwater vehicle with its own vision system is used to monitor the object. In the semi-automatic remote control mode, the manipulator automatically takes into account the current spatial orientation of the optical axis of the vision system of the inspection underwa-ter vehicle, as well as the spatial orientations of both underwater vehicles at yaw angles in the absolute coordinate system. And in automatic mode, an accurate transfer of the spatial location and orientation of the object, which are determined using the vision system of the inspection underwater vehicle, is additionally provided to the associated coordinate system of the main underwater vehicle. At the same time, it is possible to identify and eliminate errors that occur during the operation of the vision system and navigation systems of both underwater vehicles. The re-sults of experimental studies have confirmed the operability of the proposed methods, the technical implementa-tion of which does not cause fundamental difficulties.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126190649","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}

To the six parameters that determine the position and orientation of the gripper in absolute space, a «kinematic» function , depending on the relative rotation angles of the links, has been added. In this case, the kinematics equations became closed with respect to the rotation angles.

This work develops the approach of cognitive intelligent control, describing the strategy for designing intelligent cognitive control systems based on quantum and soft computing. The synergetic effect of quantum self-organization of the knowledge base, extracted from non-robust knowledge bases of an intelligent fuzzy controller, is demonstrated. The information-thermodynamic law of quantum self-organization of the optimal distribution of the basic qualities of control (stability, controllability and robustness) and the law of quantum information thermodynamics on the possibility of extracting additional useful work based on the extracted quantum information hidden in classical states are applied. Formed (without violating the second law of quantum thermodynamics) on the basis of the extracted amount of hidden quantum information, the «thermodynamic» control force allows the robot (as a control object) to perform quantitatively more useful work compared to the amount of work expended (on extracting quantum hidden information). The guaranteed achievement of the goal of controlling the robot is carried out on the basis of the designed intelligent cognitive con-trol system using the tools of the QCOptKBTM quantum knowledge base optimizer, the structure of which includes quantum fuzzy inference (QFI). The quantum algorithm for self-organization of non-robust knowledge bases of QFI structurally relies on synergistic effects from hidden quantum information to implement the implementation of the optimal distribution of control qualities. This technology makes it possible to increase the reliability of intelligent cognitive control systems in situations of control under conditions of danger, described using a cognitive neural interface and various types of interaction with robots. The examples have demonstrated the effectiveness of intro-ducing the QFI scheme as a ready-made programmable algorithmic solution for embedded intelligent control sys-tems. The possibility of using a neural interface based on a cognitive helmet with a quantum fuzzy controller to control a vehicle is shown.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"386 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115693538","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 decomposition of this problem into a number of particular scientific problems is carried out, such as the problem of substantiating a structure of the control system, developing a method for determining the emergence of the control system, and developing a method for accessing the quality of a control system and the effectiveness of its application. It is shown that the distinctive features of the problem are the stochastic nature of the performance indicator (a probability of achieving the goal of the mission), the uncertainty of the conditions for applying the UGV’s group, and the large size of the design space of the control system. The problem of design space growth is demonstrated by a methodical example. To reduce the complexity of analyzing the size of the design space, we propose the decomposition approach consisting in substantiating the basic version of the structure of the control system and its initial decomposition. The novelty in the implementation of this approach lies in the joint consideration of the «group control method» and the principle of hierarchical of the group control system. This approach allows us to obtain basic solutions for the structure of the control system, and then carry out a parametric synthesis of the control system and conduct a comparative assessment of solutions according to the «Quality-Costs» concept.","PeriodicalId":376940,"journal":{"name":"Robotics and Technical Cybernetics","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129252166","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}
