چکیده

This paper presents the architecture and algorithms developed for Dom Dinis, a simple compass-guided robot built by the authors. This includes environment exploration, task planning and task execution. Environment exploration, based on repeating a reactive goal search, enables a progressive construction of a grid-based map. Based on the (possibly incomplete) map, the robot is able to plan its tasks. The execution capabilities of the robot include exception handling. Essential to all these capabilities is the knowledge of the robot's position in the world. The position is computed based on tracking traversed distances and followed orientations. Orientation is given by a compass. Dom Dinis doesn't use wheel encoders at all.

A new approach for Robot selection in manufacturing using the ellipsoid algorithm

The choice of suitable robots in manufacturing, to improve product quality and to increase productivity, is a complicated decision due to the increase in robot manufacturers and configurations. In this article, a novel approach is proposed to choose among alternatives, differently assessed by decision makers on different criteria, to make the final evaluation for decision-making. The approach i...

A New Intelligent Approach to Patient-cooperative Control of Rehabilitation Robots

This paper presents a new intelligent method to control rehabilitation robots by mainly considering reactions of patient instead of doing a repetitive preprogrammed movement. It generates a general reference trajectory based on different reactions of patient during therapy. Three main reactions has been identified and included in reference trajectory: small variations, force shocks in a single ...

Development and implementation of a real-time open-architecture control system for industrial robot systems

This paper presents a real-time open-architecture control system (ROACS) which has been developed for flexible manipulation of industrial robots. Flexible manipulation refers to robot manipulation that handles tasks with uncertainties; hence, decision-making based on feedback data is essential in realtime operation. A real-time open-architecture control system with the capacity of parallel proc...

Workspace Boundary Avoidance in Robot Teaching by Demonstration Using Fuzzy Impedance Control

The present paper investigates an intuitive way of robot path planning, called robot teaching by demonstration. In this method, an operator holds the robot end-effector and moves it through a number of positions and orientations in order to teach it a desired task. The presented control architecture applies impedance control in such a way that the end-effector follows the operator’s hand with d...

Variable Impedance Control for Rehabilitation Robot using Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Logic

In this study, a novel variable impedance control for a lower-limb rehabilitation robotic system using voltage control strategy is presented. The majority of existing control approaches are based on control torque strategy, which require the knowledge of robot dynamics as well as dynamic of patients. This requires the controller to overcome complex problems such as uncertainties and nonlinearit...
