چکیده

We define and discuss a class of multi-robot systems possessing ergodic dynamics and show that they are realizable on physical hardware and useful for a variety of tasks while being amenable to analysis. We describe robot controllers synthesized to possess these dynamics and also physics-based methodologies that allow macroscopic structures to be uncovered and exploited for task execution in systems with large numbers of robots.

Manipulation Control of a Flexible Space Free Flying Robot Using Fuzzy Tuning Approach

Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...

Design On-Line Tunable Gain Artificial Nonlinear Controller

One of the most important challenges in nonlinear, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) and time variant systems (e.g., robot manipulator) is designing a controller with acceptable performance. This paper focused on design a new artificial non linear controller with on line tunable gain applied in the robot manipulator. The sliding mode fuzzy controller (SMFC) was designed as 7 rules Mamdani’s infer...

Dynamics of Space Free-Flying Robots with Flexible Appendages

A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...

Ergodic Dynamics for Large-Scale Distributed Robot Systems

Intelligent autonomous robotics is a promising area with many potential applications that could benefit from non-traditional models of computation. Information processing systems interfaced with the real world must deal with a continuous and uncertain environment, and must cope with interactions across a range of time-scales. Robotics problems resist existing tools and, consequently, new perspe...
