چکیده
This paper describes preliminary results from using an AI robot control software architecture known as T as the software framework for a procedure track ing system for the space shuttle Remote Manipula tor System RMS The system called TPT is de signed to track the expected steps of the crew as they carry out RMS operations detecting malfunctions in the RMS system from failures or improper con gu rations as well as improper or incomplete procedures by the crew Scheduled for a ground demonstration in February and a test ight the following fall TPT was employed this past fall to track the RMS checkout procedures on a space shuttle mission It successfully carried out its task because the reactive nature of the architecture allowed it to stay synchro nized with the procedures even in the face of intermit tent loss of telemetry and unexpected crew actions

Using a Robot Control Arc itecture to Automate Space Shuttle Operations* R
This paper describes preliminary results from using an AI robot control software architecture, known as 3T, as the software framework for a procedure tracking system for the space shuttle Remote Manipulator System (RMS). The system, called STPT, is designed to track the expected steps of the crew as they carry out RMS operations, detecting malfunctions in the RMS system from failures or imprope...
متن کاملWorkspace Boundary Avoidance in Robot Teaching by Demonstration Using Fuzzy Impedance Control
The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...
متن کاملDiscrete time robust control of robot manipulators in the task space using adaptive fuzzy estimator
This paper presents a discrete-time robust control for electrically driven robot manipulators in the task space. A novel discrete-time model-free control law is proposed by employing an adaptive fuzzy estimator for the compensation of the uncertainty including model uncertainty, external disturbances and discretization error. Parameters of the fuzzy estimator are adapted to minimize the estimat...

متن کاملTask-space Control of Electrically Driven Robots
Actuators of robot operate in the joint-space while the end-effect or of robot is controlled in the task-space. Therefore, designing a control system for a robotic system in the task-space requires the jacobian matrix information for transforming joint-space to task-space, which suffers from uncertainties. This paper deals with the robust task-space control of electrically driven robot manipula...
