Modulated Modules: Designing Behaviors as Dynamical Systems

چکیده

A recent development in behavior-oriented robotics is to view behaviors in an agent as coupled dynamical subsystems. When one designs such subsystems a di culty arises. The desired dynamics of the subsystem is likely to become qualitatively disrupted due to the superimposed dynamics of the behavior's interaction with other behaviors and the dynamics of sensor input. A mathematical technique is presented for making subsystems to some degree immune against such qualitative disruptions. By adding a suitable compensation term to the original ODE speci cation of the subsystem, the dynamics of its coupling variables lead to a benign modulation instead of a potential disruption. For the combined modulative e ects of shift, amplitude variation, and velocity variation, the compensation term is given in an explicit, ready-to-use form. This is a step toward a modular design of behavior systems from interacting subsystems. Zusammenfassung: Ein j ungerer Ansatz in der behavior-orientierten Robotik besteht darin, Behaviors in einem Agenten als gekoppelte dynamische Teilsysteme zu modellieren. Wenn man solche Teilsysteme im Zuge einer Roboterkonstruktion entwirft, entsteht die Schwierigkeit, da die beabsichtigte Dynamik des Teilsystems durch dessen Interaktion mit anderen Teilsystemen und mit sensorischem Input qualitativ ver andert wird. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt, wie Behavior-Subsysteme bis zu einem gewissen Grad gegen solche qualitativen Ver anderungen immun gemacht werden k onnen. Durch die Hinzuf ugung eines geeigneten Kompensationsterms zu den urspr unglichen Systemgleichungen werden die Auswirkungen der Kopplungsdynamik auf Modulationen beschr ankt, die den qualitativen Typ des Systemverhaltens erhalten. F ur einige solcher Modulationen (Shift, Amplitudenund Geschwindigkeitsvariation) wird der Kompensationsterm in einer gebrauchsfertigen, expliziten Form angegeben. Dies stellt einen Schritt in Richtung eines modularen Entwurfs von Behavior-Systemen aus gekoppelten Teilsystemen dar.

Calibration of an Inertial Accelerometer using Trained Neural Network by Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm for Vehicle Navigation

The designing of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles needs measurement of dynamical variations of vehicle, such as acceleration, velocity and yaw rate. Designed adaptive controllers to control lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics are based on the measured variables. Inertial MEMS-based sensors have some benefits including low price and low consumption that make them ...

PROJECTED DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS AND OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS

We establish a relationship between general constrained pseudoconvex optimization problems and globally projected dynamical systems. A corresponding novel neural network model, which is globally convergent and stable in the sense of Lyapunov, is proposed. Both theoretical and numerical approaches are considered. Numerical simulations for three constrained nonlinear optimization problems a...

Excitable behaviors

This chapter revisits the concept of excitability, a basic system property of neurons. The focus is on excitable systems regarded as behaviors rather than dynamical systems. By this we mean open systems modulated by specific interconnection properties rather than closed systems classified by their parameter ranges. Modeling, analysis, and synthesis questions can be formulated in the classical l...
