Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-agent coordination is an emerging engineering It has been inspired by the observations and descriptions of collective behavior in nature, such as fish schooling, birds flocking and insects swarming. The advantages of multi-agent coordination include: it can reduce cost and complexity from hardware platform to software and algorithms; in addition, multi-agent systems are capable of many tasks which could not be effectively performed by a single-robot system, for example, the surveillance task. The book proposes a hierarchical design framework that places uncertainties related to system models in the decentralized control layer (bottom layer) and the ones related to the communication (as well as physical interaction) between the agents in the distributed decision-making layer (top layer). The book shows that the two layers meet the separation principle under certain conditions, so that through the two-layer design framework, any challenges can be resolved independently, and the design complexity will not increase with the level of uncertainties. In addition, in order to solve the problem of energy limitation of agents, this book also studies the event-driven cooperative control of multi-agent systems, which can effectively reduce the energy consumption of agents and increase their operational life span. Bridges the gap for engineers and technicians in the automation industry, including theory and practice Provides a general framework for dealing with various uncertainties in multi-agent cooperative control problems Contains contributions surrounding the development of multi-agent systems control theory

Download or read book Multi Arm Cooperating Robots written by M.D. Zivanovic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-09 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Several consistent solutions for cooperative system control have recently been identified by the authors of the current monograph. This was achieved by solving three separate tasks that are essential for solving the problem of cooperative manipulation as a whole. The first task is related to the understanding of the physical nature of cooperative manipulation and finding a way for a sufficiently exact characterization of cooperative system statics, kinematics and dynamics. After successfully completing this task, in the frame of the second task, the problem of coordinated motion of the cooperative system is solved. Finally, as a solution to the third task, the control laws of cooperative manipulation are synthesized. The starting point in dealing with the above three tasks of cooperative manipulation was the assumption that the problem of force uncertainty in cooperative manipulation can be resolved by introducing elastic properties into the cooperative system, at least in the part where force uncertainty appears. In static and dynamic analysis of the elastic structure of cooperative systems the finite element method is applied. In contrast to the procedure used in the major part of the available literature where deformation work is expressed by deviations from the unloaded state of fixed elastic structure, in this monograph the deformation work is expressed by internal forces as a function of the absolute coordinates of contacts of mobile elastic structure. Coordinated motion and control in cooperative manipulation are solved as the problem of coordinated motion and control of a mobile elastic structure, taking into account the specific features of cooperative manipulation. Coordinated motion and control laws in cooperative manipulation are synthesized on the basis of a non-linear model where the problem of uncertainty is solved, which is not the case in the available literature. Simple examples demonstrate the consistent procedure of mathematical modeling and synthesis of nominal coordinated motion, as well as control of the cooperative system. This book will be useful to a wide audience of engineers, ranging from undergraduate and graduate students, new and advanced academic researchers, to practitioners (mechanical and electrical engineers, computer and system scientists). It is intended for readers whose work involves manufacturing, industrial, robotics, automation, computer and control engineering, and who wish to find out about this important new technology and its potential advantages for control engineering applications.

Download or read book High Performance Adaptive Control of Teleoperation Systems written by Di-Hua Zhai and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a unified switched-control framework, this book investigates the high-performance control designs and theoretic analyses for teleoperation systems, including the joint space and task space teleoperations, the homogeneous and heterogeneous teleoperations, and the single-master single-slave and multi-master multi-slave teleoperations. The book begins with an introduction to the concepts and challenges of networked teleoperation systems. Then, it investigates a new adaptive control framework based on auxiliary switched filters for the bilateral teleoperation systems to handle the model uncertainty and non-passive external forces. To overcome the input constraints of robotic systems, this adaptive method is also extended to the anti-windup adaptive control case. Furthermore, to apply to multi-robot remote collaboration scenarios and heterogeneous teleoperations, two tele-coordination methods and an adaptive semi-autonomous control method are respectively developed. Finally, the authors examine two finite-time control schemes and two types of improved prescribed performance controls for teleoperation systems to improve the transient-state and steady-state synchronization performances. This title will be an essential reference for researchers and engineers interested in teleoperation, robotic systems, and nonlinear control systems. It would also prove useful to graduate students in the fields of science, engineering, and computer science.

This book was released on 2022-12-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the manipulation tasks for robotic systems become more and more complicated, multi-robot cooperation has been attracting much attention recently. Furthermore, under the trend of human-robot co-existence, collision-free motion control is now also desired on multi-robot groups. This dissertation aims to design a novel distributed optimal control framework to deal with multi-robot cooperative manipulation of rigid objects in dynamic environments. Besides object transportation, the control scheme also tackles obstacle avoidance, joint-space performance optimisation and internal force suppression. The proposed control framework has a two-layer structure, with a distributed optimisation algorithm in the kinematic layer for generating proper joint configuration references, followed by a robot motion controller in the dynamic control layer to fulfil the reference. An indirect and a direct distributed optimisation method are developed for the kinematic layer, both of which are computationally and communicationally efficient. In the dynamic control layer, impedance control is employed for safe physical interaction. As another highlight, abundant experiments carried out on a multi-arm test bench have demonstrated the effectiveness of the presented control schemes under various environmental and task settings. The recorded computation time shows the applicability of the control framework in practice.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teleoperation of robotic manipulators has been one of the popular research areas in the robotics research community for last couple of decades. A variety of control methods have been proposed for bilateral and multilateral teleoperation of robotic manipulators. Although a lot of research has been carried out on teleoperation control, some of the aspects of these systems are still unexplored. For example, most of the control schemes for teleoperation systems focus only on the compensation of time delays while there exist other performance metrics for these systems such as better transparency, optimal force distribution and authority adjustment in cooperative applications. Additionally, some of the control schemes lack to provide the guaranteed stability of the teleoperation system. This research works aims to propose novel teleoperation and cooperative control schemes for fixed-base and mobile manipulators. This research work can be divided into two main parts. The first part of this thesis is focused on the development of a Time Domain Passivity Control (TDPC) scheme which ensures the stability of the multilateral teleoperation system under constant and varying time delays. The proposed control framework not only avoids the zero division problem of the control laws of traditional TDPC but also provides a novel communication channel architecture to assign weights to master and slave robots to cooperatively execute the task. Simulation and experimental results validate the efficacy of the proposed TDPC scheme for the multilateral teleoperation of fixed-base robotic manipulators. The second part is focused on the cooperative and teleoperation control of mobile manipulators. A couple of novel cooperative control schemes have been proposed for the cooperative control of mobile manipulators to manipulate a common object attached to the end-effectors. An adaptive robust teleoperation control scheme has also been proposed with the control objectives of guaranteed stability, synchronization and internal force distribution. Simulation results validate the efficacy of the proposed schemes for the cooperative control and teleoperation of mobile manipulators.
