In our approach, the system model is divided into two subsystems, i.e. the under-actuated translational dynamics and the fully-actuated rotational dynamics. At the first step, to control the translational dynamics, we take advantage of a virtual controller, from which the commanded attitude and the thrust input is calculated. In the design of the virtual controller, we exploit an auxiliary system to deal with the under-actuation of the translational dynamics. A prior-bounded estimator is also exploited to counteract the effect of the translational disturbances. After that, a sliding mode controller is developed for the rotational dynamics to tackle the parametric uncertainty and external disturbances in the rotational dynamics. Using Lyapunov function theory, the overall stability of the proposed control scheme is assured. Finally, simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed controller.","PeriodicalId":383818,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th RSI International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (IcRoM)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126017051","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}

Therefore, a suitable and accurate manner for inverse kinematics problem (IKP) of the serial robots is very important due to different applications of trajectory planning of serial robots in many fields of robotics. In this paper, an optimized feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) is applied to overcome the IKP of a planar arm with three-link, which is used to create desired trajectories in the two dimensional (2D) Cartesian space. The main target of this study is increasing the performance of the ANN using an optimization algorithm to find the best architecture of the network.

In addition, it investigates finite-time state-dependent Riccati equation (FTSDRE) for time-varying systems with state and control nonlinearities. A finite-time constraint that has been imposed on the equation will consequently changes it to a differential equation and also strongly decreases state error and operation time. These two methods are both nonlinear with a systematic structure that enable user control systems for a wide range of applications, explicitly in control of manipulators and robots. Finite time state-dependent Riccati equation (FTSDRE) is one of the optimal nonlinear controllers, in which time can be given as input value. On the other hand, sliding mode control systems are robust to uncertainties and disturbance and are able to direct the states to desire portion perfectly. Also, to eliminate the effect of chattering which is a drawback to siding mode controller, hyperbolic tangent function is used. The formulation of both systems are presented and then a model for a five-DOF arm, ATLAS II ROBOT, are designed and then simulated for both methods and only then they are illustrated and discussed.","PeriodicalId":383818,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th RSI International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (IcRoM)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122622802","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 model consists of a rigid link as the upper body considering the ankle strategy for standing balance maintenance, and a foot, which contains two segments as heel link and toe link, hinged together at a toe joint. To ensure contact between foot and ground, COP constraints are defined and exerted to the dynamical equations. Applying constraints to the model, imposes bounds on the control torques of the joints. In this work, the joint torque bounds, which are important for control, are determined by numerical solution of equations. It is found that angular orientation and velocity of the upper body play a significant role in such allowed control torques. Accordingly, there exists a region in phase plane named controllable region beyond which constraints cannot be satisfied regardless of the control torques. The controllable regions are determined and plotted in phase plane.","PeriodicalId":383818,"journal":{"name":"2018 6th RSI International Conference on Robotics and Mechatronics (IcRoM)","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125008355","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}
