Fuzzy Control for Gaze-Guided Personal Assistance Robots: Simulation and Experimental Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
As longer lifespans become the norm and modern healthcare allows individuals to live more functional lives despite physical disabilities, there is an increasing need for personal assistance robots. One of the barriers to this shift in healthcare technology is the ability of the human operator to communicate his/her intent to the robot. In this paper, a method of interpreting eye gaze data using fuzzy logic for robot control is presented. Simulation results indicate that the fuzzy logic controller can successfully infer operator intent, modulate speed and direction accordingly, and avoid obstacles in a target following task relevant to personal assistance robots. The fuzzy logic approach is then validated through navigation experiments using a small humanoid robot. Keywords—gaze tracking; fuzzy logic; autonomous robot; obstacle avoidance; personal assistance robot

Fuzzy Motion Control for Wheeled Mobile Robots in Real-Time
Due to various advantages of Wheeled Mobile Robots (WMRs), many researchers have focused to solve their challenges. The automatic motion control of such robots is an attractive problem and is one of the issues which should carefully be examined. In the current paper, the trajectory tracking problem of WMRs which are actuated by two independent electrical motors is deliberated. To this end, and ...
متن کاملDelay Compensation on Fuzzy Trajectory Tracking Control of Omni-Directional Mobile Robots
This paper presents a delay compensator fuzzy control for trajectory tracking of omni-directional mobile robots. Fuzzy logic control (FLC) of the robots is a suitable strategy for dealing with model uncertainties, nonlinearities and disturbances. On the other hand, in many robotic applications such as mobile robots, delay phenomenon is able to substantially deteriorate the behavior of system's...
متن کاملObstacle Detection Using Fuzzy Integral-Based Gaze Control for Mobile Robot
Obstacle detection is one of key issues in robotics because robots should avoid obstacles not to collide with or use them to obtain some information in the environment. Decision making for a proper gaze direction to get more information is also an important issue when there are many obstacles, in particular, dynamic obstacles. To deal with these issues, this paper proposes fuzzy integral-based ...
متن کاملInteger-order Versus Fractional-order Adaptive Fuzzy Control of Electrically Driven Robots with Elastic Joints
Real-time robust adaptive fuzzy fractional-order control of electrically driven flexible-joint robots has been addressed in this paper. Two important practical situations have been considered: the fact that robot actuators have limited voltage, and the fact that current signals are contaminated with noise. Through of a novel voltage-based fractional order control for an integer-order dynamical ...
