چکیده
The limited adaptivity of current robots is preventing their widespread application. However, nowadays there are mature techniques available to palliate this deficiency. After briefly surveying the several levels of adaptivity required and the disciplines addressing each of them, the paper concentrates on the contributions of the field of Neural Networks to improve sensorimotor adaptivity. Since sensorimotor mappings lie at the base of all robot activity, making them adaptable to the robot conditions (e.g., tear-and-wear) and environmental variations greatly widens the range of applications. Several experimental systems are described which rely on the following adaptive mappings: inverse kinematics, inverse dynamics, visuomotor and force-control mappings. Finally, some methodologic and computational issues are discussed.

متن کاملDiscrete-Time Lyapunov Design for Neuroadaptive Control of Elastic-Joint Robots
A neural-network controller operating in discrete time is shown to result in stable trajectory tracking for rigid and elastic-joint robots. The technique assumes continuous-time state feedback. The proof of stability uses discrete-time Lyapunov functions. For the elastic-joint case, a discrete-time version of the adaptive backstepping technique is used. The result is that the neural network can...

متن کاملNeuroadaptive Changes Associated with Smoking: Structural and Functional Neural Changes in Nicotine Dependence
Tobacco smoking is the most frequent form of substance abuse. We provide a review of the neuroadaptive changes evidenced in human smokers with regard to the current neurobiological models of addiction. Addiction is thought to result from an interplay between positive and negative reinforcement. Positive reinforcing effects of the drugs are mediated by striatal dopamine release, while negative r...
