Learning Intelligent Controllers for Path-Following Skills on Snake-Like Robots

چکیده
Multi-link wheeled robots provide interesting opportunities within many areas such as inspection and maintenance of pipes or vents. A key functionality in order to perform such operations, is that the robot can follow a predefined path fast and accurately. In this paper we present an algorithm to learn the path-following behavior for a set of motion primitives. These primitives could then be used by a planner in order to construct longer paths. The algorithm is divided into two steps: an example-based stage for controller learning, and a controller tuning stage, based on an objective function and simulations of the path-following process. The path-following controllers have been tested with a simulator of a multi-link robot in several complex paths, showing an excellent performance.

Snake-like robots have the ability of automatically performing various tasks that require man-equivalent capabilities by reaching areas difficult or impossible to reach for human beings. However, problems in path planning and design of such robots prevent them from being fully functional. In this paper, a path planning algorithm for snakelike robots is presented. Snake-like robots are modeled w...
متن کاملApproaches for Learning Human-like Motor Skills which Require Variable Stiffness During Execution
Humans employ varying stiffness in everyday life for almost all human motor skills, using both passive and active compliance. Robots have only recently acquired variable passive stiffness actuators and they are not yet mature. Active compliance controllers have existed for a longer time, but the problem of automatic determination of the necessary compliance to achieve a task has not been thorou...
