Many studies include using sensors to detect a collision, but recent research has been done on sensor-less collision detection. Many researchers present different observer techniques to estimate collision, but the drawback of these techniques is that they are based on exact dynamic assumptions. In the real system, it is challenging to calculate the exact dynamic model of the system as the Degree of Freedom (DOF) in the system increases. This study proposed a Sliding Perturbation Observer (SPO) for obstacle collision detection, which is sensor-less and based on minimal dynamic (linear dynamics) information. The technique is implemented on 5 DOF robot manipulator. The external disturbance (which is collision) has been estimated by subtracting the perturbation (from SPO) from gravity (calculated graphically). A threshold has been set for the collision so that if the estimated disturbance exceeds the threshold, it can be concluded that the collision has occurred.","PeriodicalId":398742,"journal":{"name":"2022 19th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots (UR)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123684203","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}

However, performing repetitive manipulation tasks through bilateral teleoperation induces a heavy human workload. The typical repetitive and difficult task in a real teleoperation scenario is the rotational manipulation task. Therefore, we propose a framework to learn the skill of conducting rotational manipulation tasks from a single human demonstration through bilateral teleoperation. We have experienced that the existing Cartesian orientation-based trajectory learning method could not properly encode and reproduce the rotational trajectory. Therefore, a method that utilizes task parameters to encode the trajectory is applied to the framework. Moreover, the rotational manipulation task cannot be successfully performed without considering physical interaction, even if there exists only a very small estimation error in the goal pose. Thus, we suggest a method to learn and utilize physical interaction from the demonstration. The experimental result on simulation and real robot conducting vial capping task shows that the proposed framework can learn and reproduce human skill of performing rotational manipulation task even with estimation error.","PeriodicalId":398742,"journal":{"name":"2022 19th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots (UR)","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116958205","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}

We formulate a loose insertion problem into an admittance control of the manipulator and a strategy for the insertion task with our 4-DOF manipulator whose joints are double vane type hydraulic rotary actuators. We verify the performance of the insertion scheme experimentally. In case of electrically driven manipulators, impedance control based on the joint torque and insertion operation strategies have been applied. However, hydraulic actuators controlled by servo valves have difficulties in joint torque control due to the non-linearity between the input current to the servo valve and the output torque of the hydraulic manipulator. In this work, we applied the admittance control to the hydraulic manipulator based on the joint position control to ensure the stability of the external contact with a force/torque sensor. The hydraulic manipulator with the admittance control was used to insert a cylindrical object with a radius of 37.5 mm into a hole with a radius of 52.5 mm without information about the hole location. A spiral exploring motion while maintaining the contact is used for searching the insertion hole position. Our experiments show that the admittance control enabled the robot to maintain the contact stability with the external environment and that the inserting operation strategy ensures 100% success rate.","PeriodicalId":398742,"journal":{"name":"2022 19th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots (UR)","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123090753","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}

More recent endeavors attempt to have a unified approach with legged and humanoid robots. These solutions, however, occupy large amounts of space thus reducing the number of packages that can fit into a delivery vehicle. As a result, these bulky robotic systems often reduce the potential for scalability and task parallelization. In this paper, we introduce LIMMS (Latching Intelligent Modular Mobility System) to address both the manipulation and delivery portion of a typical last-mile delivery while maintaining a minimal spatial footprint. LIMMS is a symmetrically designed, 6 degree of freedom (DoF) appendage-like robot with wheels and latching mechanisms at both ends. By latching onto a surface and anchoring at one end, LIMMS can function as a traditional 6-DoF manipulator arm. On the other hand, multiple LIMMS can latch onto a single box and behave like a legged robotic system where the package is the body. During transit, LIMMS folds up compactly and takes up much less space compared to traditional robotic systems. A large group of LIMMS units can fit inside of a single delivery vehicle, opening the potential for new delivery optimization and hybrid planning methods never done before. In this paper, the feasibility of LIMMS is studied and presented using a hardware prototype as well as simulation results for a range of sub-tasks in a typical last-mile delivery.","PeriodicalId":398742,"journal":{"name":"2022 19th International Conference on Ubiquitous Robots (UR)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121108705","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}

An EFS measured a known electric field and the measured values were compared to their theoretical values to approximate the axis misalignment of the sensor. The approximation was optimized by using the Levenberg’s optimization algorithm. The optimization algorithm searched for the axis misalignment of the EFS that minimized the difference between the measured values and the theoretical values. After the optimization, the measurements with the EFS could be calibrated. The proposed method was tested in computer simulations. The results show that the proposed method could approximate the axis misalignment of the EFS and calibrate the measured electric fields. The calibration reduced the localization errors of an underwater robot when the robot electro localized its position by using electric field signals generated by an electric landmark.
