Towards Deadband Control in Networked Teleoperation Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
One of the key challenges in current bilateral teleoperation systems is the high data packet rate necessary for the transmission of the sampled command and sensor data. We present a novel, psychophysically motivated approach to reduce the packet rate based on a deadband transmission strategy. Data packets are only sent if the sampled signal changes more than a given threshold value. The threshold value is adjusted to match the just noticeable difference in human haptic perception. Missing data at the receiver are reconstructed by a modified “hold last sample” algorithm that guarantees passivity/stability. Our experiments validate that the proposed approach leads to a considerable reduction (up to 85%) of the packet rate without sacrificing the human haptic perception of the remote environment.

This paper addresses control design in networked control system by considering stochastic packet dropouts in the forward path of the control loop. The packet dropouts are modelled by mutually independent stochastic variables satisfying Bernoulli binary distribution. A sliding mode controller is utilized to overcome the adverse influences of stochastic packet dropouts in networked control system...
متن کاملModelling and Compensation of uncertain time-delays in networked control systems with plant uncertainty using an Improved RMPC Method
Control systems with digital communication between sensors, controllers and actuators are called as Networked Control Systems (NCSs). In general, NCSs encounter with some problems such as packet dropouts and network induced delays. When plant uncertainty is added to the aforementioned problems, the design of the robust controller that is able to guarantee the stability, becomes more complex. In...
