MedBot: an Ambulance Robot Controller
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a simple implementation of an ambulance robot controller. The responsibility of the ambulance in the system is to transport dead robots from their current location to a nearby charging station. This helps in solving the problem of having dead robots in the environment resulting in a more robust and autonomous system. Results from a simulated MedBot controller indicate a slight increase in system performance. The implementation was done using the robot simulator Stage from the Player Project.

An Adaptive Impedance Controller for Robot Manipulators
A desired dynamic behavior of constrained manipulators can be achieved by means of impedance control and various implementations of fixed controllers have been proposed. In this paper, and adaptive implementation is presented as an alternative to reduce the design sensitivity due to manipulator mismatch. The adaptive controller globally achieves the impedance objective for the nonlinear dynamic...
متن کاملOptimization of fuzzy controller for an SMA-actuated artificial finger robot
The purpose of this paper is to design and optimize an intelligent fuzzy-logic controller for a three-degree of freedom (3DOF) artificial finger with shape-memory alloy (SMA) wire actuators. The robotic finger is constructed using three SMA wires as tendons to bend each phalanx of the finger around its revolute joint and three torsion springs which return the phalanxes to their original positio...

Optimal discrete-time control of linear systems has been presented already. There are some difficulties to design an optimal discrete-time control of robot manipulator since the robot manipulator is highly nonlinear and uncertain. This paper presents a novel robust optimal discrete-time control of electrically driven robot manipulators for performing repetitive tasks. The robot performs repetit...

متن کاملDesigning an adaptive fuzzy control for robot manipulators using PSO
This paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. PSO algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ISE) as a performance criteria. In this paper, an improved PSO using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...
