The method is to smooth the planned trajectory with a well-designed low-pass filter. The low-pass filter has the ability to block high frequencies and pass the low frequencies, so it can smooth waveforms and form a chamfer-like effect at the mutation. Besides this advantages, it is found that after using a low-pass filter to handle the Cartesian trajectory, the sampling points will be denser at the beginning and end of the Cartesian space trajectory than the original trace. This change can ensure the joint angle velocity smoothly change from zero to zero, which means the trajectory will be run in a smooth state without step or shake. Using the dynamics can calculate the joint torque, then multiply the joint torque with the joint angle velocity to get the joint power. And at last, the energy consumption of every joint can be gotten by integrating the joint power. As it is concluded from the simulation result, smooth the trajectory with a well-designed low-pass filter can protect the motor and reducer and extend the life of the manipulators, and every joint energy consumption can be greatly reduced. And the reduction of energy consumption is related to the shape of the original trajectory and the cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115708179","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}

This paper presents our work on implementation of fuzzy logic system (FLS) and reinforcement learning (RL) to build risk mitigation modules for human-robot collaboration scenarios. Risk mitigation using FLS strategy is developed by manually defining the linguistic values, tuning the membership functions and generating the rules based on ISO/TS15066:2016. RL-based risk mitigation modules are developed using three different Qnetworks to estimate the Q-value function. Our purpose is twofold: to perform a comparative analysis of FLS and RL in terms of safety perspectives and further to evaluate the efficiency to accomplish the task. Our results present that all the proposed risk mitigation strategies improve the safety aspect by up to 26% as compared to a default setup where the robot is just relying on a navigation module without risk mitigation. The efficiency of using FLS model is maintained to the default setup, while the efficiency of using RL model is reduced by 26% from the default setup. We also compare the computation performance of risk mitigation between centralized and edge execution where the edge execution is 27.5 times faster than the centralized one.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"9 16","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120810144","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 problem of mutual restriction between populations has been the focus of research in recent years. The interaction between populations can be represented by a function called a functional response function. According to different populations, the functional response functions are also divided into many categories. This article studies a predator-prey model with Holling type IV functional response, which is more in line with actual conditions. From a biological point of view, this paper divides the population into three major groups, namely prey, susceptible predator and infected predator. The local stability analysis of the ecosystem around the steady state near the biological feasible equilibrium point was carried out, and the global stability analysis of the model was carried out by using the Lyapunov function. Finally, Matlab software was used to carry out numerical simulation of the analysis results.","PeriodicalId":412255,"journal":{"name":"2020 6th International Conference on Control, Automation and Robotics (ICCAR)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122515336","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}

Optimized force control allocation (CA) is supported by state of the art methods enhanced with the Redistributed Pseudoinverse (RPI) algorithm leading to a robust force distribution in case of actuator failure. The presented methods are applied to a continuous maneuver sequence covering parking as well as the double lane change and the weave test. Realistic and nonlinear disturbances on the steering and drive are considered. Therefore, a high gain observer coupled with SISO-control for each wheel supplements the cascaded control architecture.
