Design 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...

Position Tracking with Position Probability Grids

One of the main problems in the field of mobile robotics is the estimation of the robot’s position in the environment. Position probability grids have been proven to be a robust technique for the estimation of the absolute position of a mobile robot. In this paper we describe an application of position probability grids to the tracking of the position of the robot. The main difference of our me...

PID position domain control for contour tracking

Contour error reduction for modern machining processes is an important concern in multi-axis contour tracking applications in order to ensure the quality of final products. Many control methods were developed in time domain to deal with contour tracking problems, and a proportional–derivative (PD) position domain control (PDC) was also proposed by the authors. It is well known that proportional...

CARLOC: Precisely Tracking Automobile Position∗

Precise positioning of an automobile to within lane-level precision can enable better navigation and context-awareness. However, GPS by itself cannot provide such precision in obstructed urban environments. In this paper, we present a system called CARLOC for lanelevel positioning of automobiles. CARLOC uses three key ideas in concert to improve positioning accuracy: it uses digital maps to mat...
