Adaptive Object Tracking with an Anthropomorphic Robot Head
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system for model-free, adaptive object tracking with a redundant anthropomorphic robot head. The visual tracking system is based on the idea of “Democratic Integration” to fuse information from several cues in a biologically plausible, self-organized fashion. The motor control system utilizes the idea of “controller partitioning” to exploit complementary capabilities of redundant degrees of freedom in the neck and eyes. A biologically inspired vergence control mechanism ensures coordination of the robot’s two eyes. We demonstrate the performance of the overall system in different active tracking scenarios.

An Adaptive-Robust Control Approach for Trajectory Tracking of two 5 DOF Cooperating Robot Manipulators Moving a Rigid Payload
In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...
متن کاملVisual Tracking using Learning Histogram of Oriented Gradients by SVM on Mobile Robot
The intelligence of a mobile robot is highly dependent on its vision. The main objective of an intelligent mobile robot is in its ability to the online image processing, object detection, and especially visual tracking which is a complex task in stochastic environments. Tracking algorithms suffer from sequence challenges such as illumination variation, occlusion, and background clutter, so an a...
متن کاملDesign of an Adaptive Fuzzy Estimator for Force/Position Tracking in Robot Manipulators
This paper presents a stable new algorithm for force/position control in robot manipulators. In this algorithm, position vectors are measured by sensors and then used in the control law. Since using force sensor has some issues such as high costs and technical problems, an approach is presented to overcome these issues. In this respect, force sensor is replaced by an adaptive fuzzy estimator to...
متن کاملA Novel Robust Adaptive Trajectory Tracking in Robot Manipulators
In this paper, a novel adaptive sliding mode control for rigid robot manipulators is proposed. In the proposed system, since there may exist explicit unknown parameters and perturbations, a Lyapunov based approach is presented to increase system robustness, even in presence of arbitrarily large (but not infinite) discontinuous perturbations. To control and track the robot, a continuous controll...
متن کاملDesigning an adaptive fuzzy control for robot manipulators using PSO
This paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. PSO algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ISE) as a performance criteria. In this paper, an improved PSO using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...
