Interaction Templates for Multi-Robot Systems

Human Robot Interaction for Multi-robot Systems

The multi-robot manipulation task, where a team of robots cooperatively lift and move objects, is exceptionally difficult due to the synchronization between the robots. Although increasing the number of robots can expand the area that the robots can cover within a bounded period of time, a poor human-robot interface will ultimately compromise the performance of the team of robots. However, intr...

Situating Spatial Templates for Human-Robot Interaction

Configurable human-robot interaction for multi-robot manipulation tasks

Multi-robot manipulation tasks can be complicated, due to the need for tight temporal coupling between the robots. However, this is an ideal scenario for human-agent-robot teams, since performing all of the manipulation aspects of the task autonomously is not feasible without additional sensors. To ameliorate this problem, we present a paradigm for allowing subjects to configure a user interfac...

a new type-ii fuzzy logic based controller for non-linear dynamical systems with application to 3-psp parallel robot

abstract type-ii fuzzy logic has shown its superiority over traditional fuzzy logic when dealing with uncertainty. type-ii fuzzy logic controllers are however newer and more promising approaches that have been recently applied to various fields due to their significant contribution especially when the noise (as an important instance of uncertainty) emerges. during the design of type- i fuz...

A New Class of Decentralized Interaction Estimators for Load Frequency Control in Multi-Area Power Systems

Load Frequency Control (LFC) has received considerable attention during last decades. This paper proposes a new method for designing decentralized interaction estimators for interconnected large-scale systems and utilizes it to multi-area power systems. For each local area, a local estimator is designed to estimate the interactions of this area using only the local output measurements. In fact,...
