Jumping Impairs Visual Feedback Control of Body Position

Asymptotic position control of robot manipulators using uncalibrated visual feedback

To implement a visual feedback controller, it is necessary to calibrate the homogeneous transformation matrix between the robot base frame and the vision frame besides the intrinsic parameters of the vision system. The calibration accuracy greatly a ects the control performance. In this paper, we address the problem of controlling a robot manipulator using visual feedback without calibrating th...

Orientation by jumping spiders in the absence of visual feedback.

Position Control Using Pitch Feedback

A position control system utilizing pitch feedback is being developed. The system will be demonstrated on a robot playing a musical instrument called the theremin. Unlike previous research involving computationally intensive pitch sensors, we would like to explore the possibility of a control system using a pitch sensor with a low computation overhead. The robot is being improved upon to make i...

Simulation of Position Based Visual Control and Performance Tests of 6R Robot

This paper presents simulation and experimental results of position-based visual servoing control process of a 6R robot using 2 fixed cameras. This method has the ability to deal with real time changes in the relative position of the target-object with respect to robot. Also, greater accuracy and independency of servo control structure from the target pose coordinates are the additional advanta...

Linear feedback control of bluff body wakes

In this project, linear feedback control is used to modify the dynamics of fluid flows. We focus on two system identification and controller design strategies that target separated wakes behind bluff bodies. In particular, we aim to reduce the form drag and suppress the large fluctuations that typically develop in such wakes and are detrimental to efficiency and safety in a large number of indu...
