Rhythmic robot arm control using oscillators

نویسنده

  • Matthew M. Williamson
چکیده

This paper presents an approach to robot arm control based on exploiting the dynamical properties of a simple oscillator circuit coupled to the joints of an arm. Using the same architecture, a wide variety of tasks can be achieved without any explicit modeling of the arm or its environment. The inherent properties of the oscillators give robustness to perturbations and changes in frequency. The approach is implemented on two compliant arms, and is demonstrated to swing pendulums at their natural frequencies, turn cranks and manipulate ’Slinky’ toys.

Biologically Inspired Robot Arm Control Using Neural Oscillators

Humans or animals exhibit natural adaptive motions against unexpected disturbances or environment changes. This is because that, in general, the neural oscillator based circuits on the spinal cord known as Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) might contribute to efficient motor movement and novel stability properties in biological motions of animal and human. Based on the CPGs, most animals locomo...

Robot arm control exploiting natural dynamics

This thesis presents an approach to robot arm control exploiting natural dynamics. The approach consists of using a compliant arm whose joints are controlled with simple non-linear oscillators. The arm has special actuators which makes it robust to collisions and gives it a smooth compliant motion. The oscillators produce rhythmic commands of the joints of the arm, and feedback of the joint mot...

Dynamics, Stability Analysis and Control of a Mammal-Like Octopod Robot Driven by Different Central Pattern Generators

In this paper, we studied numerically both kinematic and dynamic models of a biologically inspired mammal-like octopod robot walking with a tetrapod gait. Three different nonlinear oscillators were used to drive the robot’s legs working as central pattern generators. In addition, also a new, relatively simple and efficient model was proposed and investigated. The introduced model of the gait ge...

VFI-based Robotic Arm Control for Natural Adaptive Motion

Since neural oscillator based control methods can generate rhythmic motion without information on system dynamics, they can be a promising alternative to traditional motion planning based control approaches. However, for field application, they still need to be robust against unexpected forces or changes in environments so as to be able to generate “natural motion” like most biological systems....
