We focus on the task of re-orienting polyhedral objects and present a practical motion planner for achieving quasistatic manipulations by a four-fingered hand. The planner makes use of a simple manipulation strategy in which a single finger is moved and the other three are fixed. We describe how this scenario is exploited for reducing the space of trajectory solutions and used within a two-level incremental process to search for global re-orientation motions. The planner has been implemented and used for achieving several complex re-orientation tasks with frictional and frictionless contacts that show the practicality of our approach.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

This approach is particularly usefull when the robotic task can be naturally specified as a relative positioning of a sensor frame handled by the robot with regard to a peculiar part of the environment. In our previous works (Espiau et al. (1992), Rives et al. (1996)), we developed a framework which allows us to handle the different steps of a visual servoing application from the specification level to the synthesis of a robust controller. In this paper, we focus on the evaluation of such a framework applied to a specific pipe inspection task using the Ifremer's ROV Vortex. We show simulation results which validate the approach in presence of modeling errors and measurement noises. We also present experimental issues both in terms of implementation and performances.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

The LOCISS is a local sensing device for collision avoidance by which robots can detect other robots and obstacles and discriminate them by exchanging relevant information. We (1996) reported previously a collision avoidance method between two robots based on the predetermined rules using LOCISS. It is, however, difficult to realize collision avoidance among three or more robots by the predetermined rules only because situations around the robots become more complicated as the number of robots increases. Thus, it is desirable for the robots to have an adaptive capability for acquisition of the behaviors to avoid collision with other robots and obstacles. To acquire the adaptive behavior, the reinforcement learning is introduced in this paper. It is shown that appropriate behaviors for collision avoidance can be successfully acquired through the proposed learning process.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

Since COPIS observes a 360 degree view around the robot, it can observe global information of features (azimuths of vertical edges). On the other hand, binocular vision can obtain a sequence of stereo images although a field of view is limited by the visual angle of lens. In this paper, we integrate merits of omnidirectional vision and binocular vision, and propose an efficient sensing system for generating an environmental map by using MISS. Without an assumption of the exact known motion of the robot, MISS can generate an environmental map and estimate egomotion of the robot from both sensory information sources. In particular, the method is suitable for map generation during long robot movement because deadlocking error of the robot does not accumulate. The system has been evaluated on a prototype of MISS in a real environment.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

The evaluation method measures the time and energy costs of a particular class of exploratory missions. The method is implemented in the special case of one wheeled mobile robot in the laboratory, which was made to execute several (approximately 100) instances of the mission. It is proposed that a validated, dynamic model of the robot embedded in a simulated mission scenario is to be used to study alternate robot designs in a small 'neighborhood' of the existing physical system. Such a simulation was built and is described here. Results from trials with the physical robot and its simulated counterpart are compared and shown to agree well. The simulation is used to evaluate designs not constructed in the laboratory, and results are discussed.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

The geometry of the terrain can be highly modified by the vehicle itself during its displacement; simultaneously, the behavior of the vehicle also becomes more complex. Deformable soils, such as loose soils cannot be modelled by solid physics and they require the use of accurate mass decomposition and mass-mass interactions. These are the basis of the model-simulator we used, called CORDIS-ANIMA, in which every kind of physical object is modelled by a set of precise masses in physical interaction. This paper illustrates the physically-based object simulations of various off-road vehicles moving on deformable soils, leaving tyre traces, spinning, skidding and even sinking.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

The development of the model is important for further understanding the system and for developing a robust force controller. A systems approach is used to model the various subsystems including the servovalve dynamics, fluid dynamics and the vane and load dynamics. Included in the model are line losses, leakage, and hysteresis. System parameters are identified using the elbow joint of the SARCOS slave experimental hydraulic manipulator. Specialized hardware was designed and constructed for this purpose. The model was validated by comparing simulation and experimental results. The correlation between model and actual system response proved to be very good. Hence, the developed model predicts well the system dynamic behavior and will prove useful in the development of a robust force controller.","PeriodicalId":408848,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 1997 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robot and Systems.

Since the camera drive mechanism need light-weight and immune to backlashes, the eyeball part uses a tendon-driven gimbal mechanism. The neck part except yaw axis is also driven by tendon-driven mechanism. In this experiment, the target is a electric light bulb.
