Closing the loop: Evolving a model-free visually guided robot arm
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dynamic neuro-controllers are incrementally evolved for reaching and tracking movements by a physically simulated robot arm. An active vision system capable of controlling gaze direction and focus replaces the need for internal models of the robot. It is shown that closing the feedback loop allows for robot control being robust to changes in environment, sensors and robot-morphology.

Closing the sensorimotor loop: haptic feedback facilitates decoding of motor imagery.
The combination of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) with robot-assisted physical therapy constitutes a promising approach to neurorehabilitation of patients with severe hemiparetic syndromes caused by cerebrovascular brain damage (e.g. stroke) and other neurological conditions. In such a scenario, a key aspect is how to reestablish the disrupted sensorimotor feedback loop. However, to date it i...
متن کاملEvolving Visually Guided
We have developed a methodology grounded in two beliefs: that autonomous agents need visual processing capabilities , and that the approach of hand-designing control architectures for autonomous agents is likely to be superseded by methods involving the artiicial evolution of comparable architectures. In this paper we present results which demonstrate that neural-network control architectures c...
متن کاملControl of Flexible Link Robot using a Closed Loop Input-Shaping Approach
This paper is has addressed the Single Flexible Link Robot. The dynamical model is derived using Euler-Lagrange equation and then a proper controller is designed to suppress a vibration based-on Input-Shaping (IS) method. But, IS control method is an open loop strategy. Due to the weakness of open loop control systems, a closed loop IS control system is proposed. The achieved closed loop c...
متن کاملManipulation Control of a Flexible Space Free Flying Robot Using Fuzzy Tuning Approach
Cooperative object manipulation control of rigid-flexible multi-body systems in space is studied in this paper. During such tasks, flexible members like solar panels may get vibrated that in turn may lead to some oscillatory disturbing forces on other subsystems, and consequently produces error in the motion of the end-effectors of the cooperative manipulating arms. Therefore, to design and dev...
متن کاملDesign and Analysis of a Novel Tendon-less Backbone Robot
A new type of backbone robot is presented in this paper. The core idea is to use a cross shape mechanism with the principle of functioning of the scissors linkages, known as a pantograph. Although this continuum arm acts quite similar to tendon-driven robot, this manipulator does not include any tendon in its structure. This design does not suffer from the weaknesses of the continuum design suc...
