Motion Control Algorithms for Sensor-Equipped Robots
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the development of kinematic algorithms for the control of sensor-equipped robots. The kinematics is solved in the sensor coordinate system, which reduces the computation efforts, and allows the elimination of the first joint encoder. Simplification of the algorithms can be obtained when approximations are used to solve the inverse kinematics. Three control algorithms based on approximations are presented. However, with these algorithms, convergence to the target is not always guaranteed. A Theorem which specifies the sufficient conditions required for a trajectory to converge to a target point is proved. Based on this Theorem robot parameters can be selected in the design stage of the manipulator. This is illustrated for several types of manipulators.

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...
متن کاملActive Balancing Reflexes for Small Humanoid Robots
To be practical, humanoid robots must be able to manoeuvre over a variety of flat and uneven terrains, at different speeds and with varying gaits and motions. This paper describes three balancing-reflex algorithms (threshold control, PID control, and hybrid control) that were implemented on a real 8 DOF robot equipped with only an accelerometer sensor to study the capabilities and limitations o...

In this paper, a new online robot motion planner is developed for systematically exploring unknown environ¬ments by intelligent mobile robots in real-time applications. The algorithm takes advantage of sensory data to find an obstacle-free start-to-goal path. It does so by online calculation of the Generalized Voronoi Graph (GVG) of the free space, and utilizing a combination of depth-first an...

متن کاملTailored Real-Time Simulation for Teams of Humanoid Robots
Developing and testing the key modules of autonomous humanoid soccer robots (e.g., for vision, localization, and behavior control) in software-in-the-loop (SIL) experiments, requires real-time simulation of the main motion and sensing properties. These include humanoid robot kinematics and dynamics, the interaction with the environment, and sensor simulation, especially the camera properties. T...
