One of the effective methods for haptic communication is bilateral motion control based on acceleration control. If the acceleration-based bilateral control is applied to a parallel multi-degrees-of-freedom (MDOF) system, complicated haptic human motion can be realized in the remote site. However it is difficult to understand whole motion of the system based only on information of each actuator. One of the effective methods for the motion recognition is modal decomposition based on Discrete Fourier series expansion (DFS). This modal decomposition is effective for the analysis of motion of parallel MDOF systems. However, in order to apply the modal decomposition, it is necessary that an arrangement of the parallel MDOF system is known. This paper proposes an arrangement identification method for parallel MDOF teleoperation systems based on Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) method. The method can estimate the arrangement, even if there is no visual information. Finally, the validity of the proposed method is confirmed by the experimental results.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"1993 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82390294","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}

A short sampling period is required for acquisition and transmission of wide-band signals. The sampling period is limited, however, when controllers are connected through a network. In this paper, a coding and decoding scheme for wide-band bilateral teleoperation is proposed. The method uses a low pass filter and discrete Fourier transform for the coding and inverse discrete Fourier transform for the decoding. High frequency signals can be transmitted even under severe limitation on the packet transmission rate. The scheme was verified through experiment with bilateral teleoperation. The validity of the proposed method was confirmed in terms of the transmission of wide-band signals and the reproduction of wide-band haptic sensation.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"51 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82777306","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}

In this research the extension of the algorithm for dynamic collaborative path prediction for mobile agents is proposed and two important issues Coefficient of agility and Minimal sampling frequency are analyzed. Those two terms are proposed in previous research for which background and introduction is explained in this paper. Solving Coefficient of agility and minimal sampling frequency issues allows system designers and developers to implement the method. This method allows full decentralization of collision detection which allows many advantages from minimizing of network traffic to simplifying of inclusion of additional agents in relevant space. Implementation of the algorithm will be low resource consuming allowing mobile agents to free resources for additional tasks.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"69 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85855478","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}

In contrast to the GMS model, which consists of a switching structure to accommodate for its hybrid nature, the Smoothed GMS (S-GMS) model consists of an analytic set of differential equations well suited for on-line state and parameter estimation, such as in Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE). Efficient on-line state and parameter estimation is essential for model-based friction compensation in order to track friction characteristics changes in time and space. Moreover, MHE is known to better handle model nonlinearities, disturbances and constraints than Extended Kalman Filter (EKF). This paper discusses the implementation of the EKF and MHE estimators for both the GMS and the S-GMS friction models. The benefit of the combination of MHE and S-GMS model is shown.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89110142","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 first part is devoted to analysis of the core structure of the P controller tuned for different types of nonmodelled or filter dynamics. Openness of the approach means that for approximating additional dynamics of the P-controller structure different filters may be used without necessity to repeat in the nominal case analysis of the optimal and critical tuning. By simpler means, flexible approach enabling to fit requirements of particular loop and simultaneously offering reasonably better performance than the traditional controller design based on Luenberger disturbance observer for reconstruction of the velocity signal is proposed. Achieved performance is evaluated by newly introduced measures for deviations from monotonic and one-pulse shapes of transients typical for control of plants with dominant 1st order dynamics.","PeriodicalId":6439,"journal":{"name":"2012 12th IEEE International Workshop on Advanced Motion Control (AMC)","volume":"131 1","pages":"1-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86188481","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 switching noise cased by PWM inverter degrades the control performance of the motor. In short, typical Class-B and Class-D power amplifiers are not suitable for advanced motion control. By using Class-G amplifier, problem of both power efficiency and noise is able to be solved. Therefore, Class-G amplifier enhances the control performance of current controller for motion control.
