Control/Learning Architectures for use in Robots Operating in Unstructured Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes work being conducted at the Louisiana State University Robotics Research Laboratory towards the development of legged robot walking algorithms for unstructured environments. This work is associated with the Robo-Tiger project whose goal is the construction of a life-size robotic tiger mascot with the physical attributes of a real tiger. The focus of this research is on robots with multi-jointed legs, and the goal is to develop algorithms and architectures capable of learning new walking patterns to allow autonomous compensation for varying and unknown terrains. This paper describes the project developments to date and the details of the approaches being proposed to enable a legged robot to cope with uncertain terrains.

Intelligent learning and control of autonomous robotic agents operating in unstructured environments
The control of autonomous intelligent robotic agent operating in unstructured changing environments includes many objective difficulties. One major difficulty concerns the characteristics of the environment that the agent should operate in. In unstructured and changing environments the inconsistency of the terrain, the irregularity of the product and the open nature of the working environment r...
متن کاملData Persistence: A Design Principle for Hybrid Robot Control Architectures
It has been widely accepted that intelligent robots operating in dynamic environments should be built using a combination of two very different approaches: reactive and deliberative architectures. The use of only one of these approaches leads to sub-optimal performance when nontrivial tasks are to be performed by robots in dynamic environments. Typical hybrid architectures consist of several la...
متن کاملDeep Multispectral Semantic Scene Understanding of Forested Environments Using Multimodal Fusion
Semantic scene understanding of unstructured environments is a highly challenging task for robots operating in the real world. Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) architectures define the state of the art in various segmentation tasks. So far, researchers have focused on segmentation with RGB data. In this paper, we study the use of multispectral and multimodal images for semantic segmenta...
متن کاملRobust Fractional-order Control of Flexible-Joint Electrically Driven Robots
This paper presents a novel robust fractional PIλ controller design for flexible joint electrically driven robots. Because of using voltage control strategy, the proposed approach is free of problems arising from torque control strategy in the design and implementation. In fact, the motor's current includes the effects of nonlinearities and coupling in the robot manipulator. Therefore, cancella...
