Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Furthering the aim of reducing human exposure to hazardous environments, this monograph presents a detailed study of the modeling and control of vehicle-manipulator systems. The text shows how complex interactions can be performed at remote locations using systems that combine the manipulability of robotic manipulators with the ability of mobile robots to locomote over large areas. The first part studies the kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies and standard robotic manipulators and can be used as an introduction to robotics focussing on robust mathematical modeling. The monograph then moves on to study vehicle-manipulator systems in great detail with emphasis on combining two different configuration spaces in a mathematically sound way. Robustness of these systems is extremely important and Modeling and Control of Vehicle-manipulator Systems effectively represents the dynamic equations using a mathematically robust framework. Several tools from Lie theory and differential geometry are used to obtain globally valid representations of the dynamic equations of vehicle-manipulator systems. The specific characteristics of several different types of vehicle-manipulator systems are included and the various application areas of these systems are discussed in detail. For underwater robots buoyancy and gravity, drag forces, added mass properties, and ocean currents are considered. For space robotics the effects of free fall environments and the strong dynamic coupling between the spacecraft and the manipulator are discussed. For wheeled robots wheel kinematics and non-holonomic motion is treated, and finally the inertial forces are included for robots mounted on a forced moving base. Modeling and Control of Vehicle-manipulator Systems will be of interest to researchers and engineers studying and working on many applications of robotics: underwater, space, personal assistance, and mobile manipulation in general, all of which have similarities in the equations required for modeling and control.

Download or read book Underwater Robots written by Junku Yuh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: All life came from sea but all robots were born on land. The vast majority of both industrial and mobile robots operate on land, since the technology to allow them to operate in and under the ocean has only become available in recent years. A number of complex issues due to the unstructured, hazardous undersea environment, makes it difficult to travel in the ocean while today's technologies allow humans to land on the moon and robots to travel to Mars . . Clearly, the obstacles to allowing robots to operate in a saline, aqueous, and pressurized environment are formidable. Mobile robots operating on land work under nearly constant atmospheric pressure; their legs (or wheels or tracks) can operate on a firm footing; their bearings are not subjected to moisture and corrosion; they can use simple visual sensing and be observed by their creators working in simple environments. In contrast, consider the environment where undersea robots must operate. The pressure they are subjected to can be enormous, thus requiring extremely rugged designs. The deep oceans range between 19,000 to 36,000 ft. At a mere 33-foot depth, the pressure will be twice the normal one atmosphere pressure of 29. 4 psi. The chemical environment of the sea is highly corrosive, thus requiring the use of special materials. Lubrication of moving parts in water is also difficult, and may require special sealed, waterproof joints.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We have proposed a new unified dynamics-based motion planning algorithm that can generate both kinematically admissible and dynamically feasible joint-space trajectories for systems composed of heterogeneous dynamics. We have then extended this algorithm for an autonomous underwater vehicle-manipulator system, where the dynamic response of the vehicle is much slower than that of the manipulator. We have also exploited the kinemetic redundancy to accommodate the thruster/actuator faults and saturation and also to minimize hydrodynamic drag. We have incorporated thruster dynamics when modeling the UVMS. Although, some researchers have exploited kinematic redundancy for optimizing various criteria, but those work have mainly addressed to problems with land-based robotics or space-robotics. Hardly any motion planning algorithm has been developed for autonomous underwater vehiclemanipulator system. In this research, work we have formulated a new unified motion planning algorithm for a heterogeneous underwater robotic system that has a vastly different dynamic bandwidth. The results from computer simulation demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. It shows that the proposed algorithm not only improves the trajectory tracking performance but also significantly reduce the energy consumption and the power requirements for the operation of an autonomous UVMS. We have not presented results from Case II (Total Decomposition) because of the length of the paper. However, these results are comparable to the conventional motion planning approach. In future, instead of Fourier decomposition, one can try to use wavelet approach to decompose the task-space trajectory into system's sub-component compatible segments. There are a few drawbacks of this paper as well. We used a model-based control technique to evaluate our planning algorithm. However, the underwater environment is uncertain and we need to use adaptive control techniques in future. Although the fault-tolerant control algorithm has been experimentally verified, the other proposed algorithms need to be validated by experiments.
