Experiments with Medium -Level Intelligent Force Control

This text gives experimental results, comments and interpretations of a set of compliant motion tasks that form the basis for force-guided identification of the geometry of the most common contact situations. The experiments show the influence of (i) nonideal effects, (ii) nonlinearities, and (iii) different motion trajectories.

Experiments with Cooperative Control of Underwater Robots

In this paper we describe cooperative control algorithms for robots and sensor nodes in an underwater environment. Cooperative navigation is defined as the ability of a coupled system of autonomous robots to pool their resources to achieve long-distance navigation and a larger controllability space. Other types of useful cooperation in underwater environments include: exchange of information su...

Meaningful Control Experiments

For a controls experiment to be meaningful, it should provide knowledge that cannot be gained from theory or simulation. The authors maintain that the value of experiments is proportional to their fidelity to an industrial motivating problem. Without this, claims regarding the efficacy of a control method cannot be substantiated to any degree more than they could via simulation. The control of ...
