The proposed algorithm is a leader-follower type; the motion command of the object is given to one of the manipulators, referred to as a leader, and the other manipulators, referred to as followers, estimate the motion of the leader by themselves through the motion of the object and handle the object based on the estimated motion. Different from the conventional leader-follower type of control algorithms, each manipulator is impedence-controlled and has equal dynamic characteristics. The stability of the resultant system with the decentralized control algorithm is also guaranteed. The proposed control algorithm is experimentally implemented in two industrial manipulators and the experimental results illustrate the validity of the system.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

A multilayer perceptron (MLP) network is used as a classifier where the individual network outputs correspond to contact state transitions occuring during the assembly process. When a contact state transition occurs, the MLP output with the largest value is chosen. The recognised contact state is sent to a discrete event controller which guides the workpiece through a series of contact states to the final desired configuration. The MLP has been successfully implemented on a Motorola 68040 based VxWorks board with successful recognition rates of 94.4% and 92.0% on a training set and an independent test set, respectively.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

Off-line planned trajectories and motions are modified in real-time to avoid obstacles, using a reactive behaviour. The information about the environment is provided to the control system of the robot by a rotating 3D laser sensor which have two degrees of freedom. Using this sensor, three dimensional information can be obtained, and can be used simultaneously for obstacle avoidance, robot self-localization and for 3D local map building. In this work we focus the attention in the obstacle avoidance problem with this kind of sensor. Experimental results in different indoor environments are reported, which show the versatility of the proposed technique to carry out typical tasks such as wall following, door crossing and motion in a room with several obstacles.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

There have been many previous works on object recognition using edge information, but they can not be applied to specular objects since it is hard to acquire reliable camera images of specular objects. If there is a method which can extract the edges of specular objects, it is possible to apply edge-based recognition algorithms to specular objects. To acquire the reliable edge images of specular objects, scanned double pass retroreflection method is proposed, whose main physical characteristic is curvature-sensitive. This utility of the physical characteristic is motivated by the idea that roof edges can be characterized as local surfaces of high curvature. In this paper, the optical characteristics of double pass retroreflection are discussed and a series of simulation studies are performed to verify and analyze the sensor characteristics. The results from a series of simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

The model serves as a background for a dynamic, active antenna type, contact point sensor. In its simplest realization the sensor can be implemented in the form of a flexible beam rotating in plane. The dynamic model is developed in the nondimensional form and possible sensing strategies, active and passive, are outlined. The main feature of the sensor is the use of the frequency-versus contact point curve which, for some regions, may be a multi-valued function. Basic properties of the sensing curves are formulated, and two points of interest-the point of maximal stiffness and the point of center of impact-are introduced into the analysis. Behaviour of the sensing curves is analyzed with respect to three system parameters-mass, inertia, and stiffness ratios. It is found that in some limiting, but practically attainable cases the sensing curve becomes a single-valued function within the working range of the sensor.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

The algorithm's advantage is its simplicity. The algorithm is also shown to be resolution complete. The algorithm searches the robot's configuration space with many different \"step sizes\" at the same time. The step size denotes the distance between the nodes A* expands during the search. When a path candidate goes far from the obstacles, a big step size is used. When it goes near the obstacle surfaces, a smaller step size is used. Two simulated robot workcells are provided for experimental study. The motion planning of 5 and 6-degrees-of-freedom industrial robots appears to be reasonably fast.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

Our ultimate goal is to understand the dynamics of dual arm coordination in order to develop better robot control algorithms. Our computational model is based on the hypothesis proposed by Uno et al. (1989) who suggest that human movements minimize the integral of the norm of the rate of change of actuator torques. We compare the experimental trajectories and force distributions with this computational model. The first important observation is that the trajectories show a significant degree of repeatability across trials and across subjects. Next, we observe that the trajectories in the sagittal and frontal plane are characterized by asymmetric features that are hard to model using such integral cost functions. Finally, we show that the internal forces play an important role in trajectory generation. While these are repeatable across trials, they vary significantly from subject to subject.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.
