چکیده
In this paper we make the important observation that the attitude and angular velocity control systems for gas-jet aircraft and underwater vehicles are of a special form: they are affine control systems with constant control distributions and multi-affine drifts. For this general class of systems, we can construct (and check the existence of) bounded controls driving the system from initial to final regions of the state space. This can be used for tasks requiring repositioning or changing the velocity of the vehicle under constraints on both controls and state. We illustrate the procedure by solving the problem of changing the angular velocity of a parallelepiped aircraft under velocity and control constraints imposed by the task. The method should be seen as a "maneuver" procedure, allowing automatic generation of control laws for bringing the system in a desired region of its state space. If stabilization to a point is required, then locally stabilizing control laws can be used after the maneuver.

A 2-D visual servoing for underwater vehicle station keeping - Robotics and Automation, 2001. Proceedings 2001 ICRA. IEEE International Conference on
This paper introduces a 2 0 visual servoing technique for the station keepiirg of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) with respect to planar targets on the sea bed. The underwater vehicle is subject to sea current disturbances which make it drift from its desired position. Feature points from unmarked objects are extracted and tracked with a sparse feature tracker developed in-house [I]. The s...

Robotic grasps exhibiting visco-elastic contact interactions with the manipulated object are considered. Control of internal forces is investigated. The presence of nonnegligible compliance at contacts, implies that the object dynamics cannot be neglected when attempting to control internal forces without affecting the object position. A dynamic internal force control is proposed. It is decoupl...
متن کاملSelf-calibration using the linear projective reconstruction - Robotics and Automation, 2000. Proceedings. ICRA '00. IEEE International Conference on
Recently, self-calibration algorithms that use only the information in the image have been actively researched. But most algorithms require bundle adjustment in the projective reconstruction or in the nonlinear minimization. We propose a practical self-calibration algorithm that only requires a linear projective reconstruction. We overcome the sensitivity of the algorithm due to image noises by...
متن کاملFriction modeling and display in haptic applications involving user performance - Robotics and Automation, 2002. Proceedings. ICRA '02. IEEE International Conference on
We review the state of the art in friction estimation and rendering for haptic interfaces and present a method based on a modified Karnopp friction model. We illustrate some of the advantages of this approach and show how it can be used to create accurate and convincing displays of sliding friction, including pre-sliding displacement and stick-slip behavior. We also present the results of human...
متن کاملPosition-Based Virtual Fixtures for Membrane Peeling with a Handheld Micromanipulator.
Peeling delicate retinal membranes, which are often less than 5 µm thick, is one of the most challenging retinal surgeries. Preventing rips and tears caused by tremor and excessive force can decrease injury and reduce the need for follow up surgeries. We propose the use of a fully handheld microsurgical robot to suppress tremor while enforcing helpful constraints on the motion of the tool. Usin...
