Imitation learning for a continuum trunk robot
The paper applies learning from demonstration (LfD) for high-level trajectory planning and movement control of the Bionic Handling Assistant (BHA) robot. For such soft continuum robot with mechanical elasticity and complex dynamics it is difficult to use kinesthetic teaching to collect demonstration data. We propose to use an active compliant controller to this aim and record both position and ...
متن کاملContinuous path tracing by a cable - suspended , under - actuated robot
A simple, under-actuated robotic winch, called the “Winch-Bot,” is developed for surface inspection of a large object. The Winch-Bot, placed over an object surface, has only one actuator for tracing a free geometric path in a vertical plane. The cable length is controlled in relation to the direction of the cable so that the inspection end-effecter hanging at the tip of the cable can follow the...
متن کاملReconstructing human push recovery reactions using a three dimensional under-actuated bipedal robot
This paper presents the ability of hybrid zero dynamics (HZD) feedback control method to reproduce human like movements for walking push recovery of an under-actuated 3D biped model. The balance recovery controller is implemented on a three-dimensional under-actuated bipedal model subjected to a push disturbance. The biped robot model is considered as a hybrid system with eight degrees of freed...
متن کاملA Novel Continuum Trunk Robot Based on Contractor Muscles
We describe the design, construction, and operation of a novel continuous backbone “continuum” robot. Inspired by biological trunks and tentacles, the robot is actuated by the pneumatic muscles which form its structure. In contrast to previous designs, the actuators are contractor muscles, which decrease in length as pressure is increased. This choice of actuator results in novel and improved p...
متن کاملStatic performance improvement of an industrial robot by means of a cable-driven redundantly actuated system
Every industrial robot has a specific kinematics, which often results in anisotropic performance within its workspace in terms of force and velocity. A cable-driven system can be used to improve the force manipulability of a robot by introducing an actuation redundancy. Such system acts directly on the robot end-effector increasing its flexibility of use in applications where a higher and more ...
