Book External Measurement System for Robot Dynamics

Download or read book External Measurement System for Robot Dynamics written by Yana Sosnovskaya and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robots require testing to verify modeling assumptions, confirm performance characteristics, and quantify their limits. One requirement for formal robot testing is an external measurement system (EMS), that measures the robot’s dynamics without relying on the robot’s modeling assumptions or using any component of the robot’s control system. Most robot dynamics measurement systems in literature are not external: they connect to the robot’s instruments, and/or rely on its modeling assumptions. In this work, I present a new, inertial sensor-based EMS, that consists of a set of inertial sensors, data acquisition hardware, and precisely specified calibration procedures. Static and dynamic calibration algorithms are tested for accelerometers, with static shown to be superior. Monte Carlo-based calibration algorithms are presented, to quantify calibration uncertainties, which can then be propagated to uncertainties in measurements. The EMS is tested on a Hopper robot, demonstrating its usefulness for dynamics measurement, and certain limitations for position measurement.

Book Dynamics of Manipulation Robots

Download or read book Dynamics of Manipulation Robots written by M. Vukobratovic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph represents the first book of the series entitled "SCI ENTIFIC FUNDAMENTALS OF ROBOTICS". The aim of this monograph is to ap proach the dynamics of active mechanisms from the standpoint of its application to the synthesis of complex motion and computer-aided de sign of manipulation mechanisms with some optimal performances. The rapid development of a new class of mechanisms, which may be referred to as active mechanisms, contributed to their application in various environments (from underwater to cosmic) . Because of some specific fea tures, these mechanisms require very careful description, both in a mechanical sense (kinematic and dynamic) and in the synthesis of algo rithms for precise tracking of the above motion under insufficiently defined operating conditions. Having also in mind the need for a very fast (even real-time) calculation of system dynamics and for eliminating, in principle, the errors made when forming mathematical models "by hand" this monograph will primarily present methods for automatic for mUlation of dynamic equations of motion of active spatial mechanisms. Apart from these computer-oriented methods, mention will be made of all those methods which have preceded the computer-oriented procedures, predominantly developed for different problems of rigid body dynamics. If we wish to systematically establish the origins of the scientific discipline, which could be called robot dynamics, we must recall some groups and individuals, who, by solving actual problems in the synthe sis and control of artificial motion, have contributed to a gradual formation of this discipline.

Then, the most basic control tasks are discussed i.e. problems of inverse kinematics. Groups of papers follow which deal with various advanced control aspects. They range from rather general methods to more specialized topics such as force control and control of hydraulic robots. The problem of path planning is addressed and strategies for robots with one arm, for mobile robots and for multiple arm robots are presented. Also covered are computational improvements and software tools for simulation and control, the integration of sensors and sensor signals in robot control.

Book State Estimation and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems

Download or read book State Estimation and Stabilization of Nonlinear Systems written by Abdellatif Ben Makhlouf and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-06 with total page 439 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the separation principle which is also known as the principle of separation of estimation and control and states that, under certain assumptions, the problem of designing an optimal feedback controller for a stochastic system can be solved by designing an optimal observer for the system's state, which feeds into an optimal deterministic controller for the system. Thus, the problem may be divided into two halves, which simplifies its design. In the context of deterministic linear systems, the first instance of this principle is that if a stable observer and stable state feedback are built for a linear time-invariant system (LTI system hereafter), then the combined observer and feedback are stable. The separation principle does not true for nonlinear systems in general. Another instance of the separation principle occurs in the context of linear stochastic systems, namely that an optimum state feedback controller intended to minimize a quadratic cost is optimal for the stochastic control problem with output measurements. The ideal solution consists of a Kalman filter and a linear-quadratic regulator when both process and observation noise are Gaussian. The term for this is linear-quadratic-Gaussian control. More generally, given acceptable conditions and when the noise is a martingale (with potential leaps), a separation principle, also known as the separation principle in stochastic control, applies when the noise is a martingale (with possible jumps).

Book Advanced Multibody System Dynamics

Download or read book Advanced Multibody System Dynamics written by Werner Schiehlen and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The German Research Council (DFG) decided 1987 to establish a nationwide five year research project devoted to dynamics of multibody systems. In this project universities and research centers cooperated with the goal to develop a general pur pose multibody system software package. This concept provides the opportunity to use a modular structure of the software, i.e. different multibody formalisms may be combined with different simulation programmes via standardized interfaces. For the DFG project the database RSYST was chosen using standard FORTRAN 77 and an object oriented multibody system datamodel was defined. The project included • research on the fundamentals of the method of multibody systems, • concepts for new formalisms of dynamical analysis, • development of efficient numerical algorithms and • realization of a powerful software package of multibody systems. These goals required an interdisciplinary cooperation between mathematics, compu ter science, mechanics, and control theory. ix X After a rigorous reviewing process the following research institutions participated in the project (under the responsibility of leading scientists): Technical University of Aachen (Prof. G. Sedlacek) Technical University of Darmstadt (Prof. P. Hagedorn) University of Duisburg M. Hiller) (Prof.

Book Design of an Intelligent Embedded System for Condition Monitoring of an Industrial Robot

Download or read book Design of an Intelligent Embedded System for Condition Monitoring of an Industrial Robot written by Alaa Abdulhady Jaber and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis introduces a successfully designed and commissioned intelligent health monitoring system, specifically for use on any industrial robot, which is able to predict the onset of faults in the joints of the geared transmissions. However the developed embedded wireless condition monitoring system leads itself very well for applications on any power transmission equipment in which the loads and speeds are not constant, and access is restricted. As such this provides significant scope for future development. Three significant achievements are presented in this thesis. First, the development of a condition monitoring algorithm based on vibration analysis of an industrial robot for fault detection and diagnosis. The combined use of a statistical control chart with time-domain signal analysis for detecting a fault via an arm-mounted wireless processor system represents the first stage of fault detection. Second, the design and development of a sophisticated embedded microprocessor base station for online implementation of the intelligent condition monitoring algorithm, and third, the implementation of a discrete wavelet transform, using an artificial neural network, with statistical feature extraction for robot fault diagnosis in which the vibration signals are first decomposed into eight levels of wavelet coefficients.
