چکیده

We present a unified approach to design robot control systems by means of nonlinear dynamical systems. The robot’s behavior is generated by evaluating differential equations for variables which parametrize the behavior. These differential equations are designed such that potential behavioral goals specify stable fixed points (attractors) of the behavioral variables. The strength of these attractors is controlled by another dynamical system depending on the sensor input and predefined logical rules which express the interrelation between the different behavioral goals. The quantitative variation of the attractors’ strengths induces bifurcations of the behavioral dynamics leading to qualitative changes of the robot’s behavior. We show that our approach is particularly suited to guide an anthropomorphic robot by means of natural and intuitive speech commands. A number of elementary behaviors are implemented as contributions to a control dynamics which acts on the mobile platform and on the manipulator arm of the robot. The contributions are activated and deactivated depending on the commands given by the human operator.

Attractor Based Analysis of Centrally Cracked Plate Subjected to Chaotic Excitation

The presence of part-through cracks with limited length is one of the prevalent defects in the plate structures. Due to the slight effect of this type of damages on the frequency response of the plates, conventional vibration-based damage assessment could be a challenging task. In this study for the first time, a recently developed state-space method which is based on the chaotic excitation is ...

Modeling Human Arm Motion by Means of Attractor Dynamics Approach

Movement generation in robotics is a well know problem with many excellent solutions. Most of them, however, look for optimal solutions according to some metrics, but have no biological inspiration. From a human perspective these techniques behave in a non-naturalistic way. This poses a problem for human-robot interaction and, in general, for a good acceptance of robots in society. The present ...
