Exogenous Fault Detection in a Collective Robotic Task
نویسندگان
چکیده
In robotics, exogenous fault detection is the process through which one robot detects faults that occur in other, physically separate robots. In this paper, we study exogenous fault detection in a collective leader-follower task for autonomous robots. We record sensory inputs from the robots while they are operating normally and after simulated faults have been injected. Given that faults are simulated, we can correlate the flow of sensory inputs with the fault state of the robots. We use back-propagation neural networks to synthesize fault detection components. We show that the flow of sensory inputs is sufficient information for performing exogenous fault detection, that is, we show that the leader robot is capable of detecting faults in the follower robot. All results are based on experiments with real robots.

An LPV Approach to Sensor Fault Diagnosis of Robotic Arm
One of the major challenges in robotic arms is to diagnosis sensor fault. To address this challenge, this paper presents an LPV approach. Initially, the dynamics of a two-link manipulator is modelled with a polytopic linear parameter varying structure and then by using a descriptor system approach and a robust design of a suitable unknown input observer by means of pole placement method along w...

In this paper we present a collective detection scheme using receptor density algorithm to self-detect certain types of failure in swarm robotic systems. Key to any fault-tolerant system, is its ability to be robust to failure and have appropriate mechanisms to cope with a variety of such failures. In this work we present an error detection scheme based on T-cell signalling in which robots in a...

متن کاملDoppler and bearing tracking using fuzzy adaptive unscented Kalman filter
The topic of Doppler and Bearing Tracking (DBT) problem is to achieve a target trajectory using the Doppler and Bearing measurements. The difficulty of DBT problem comes from the nonlinearity terms exposed in the measurement equations. Several techniques were studied to deal with this topic, such as the unscented Kalman filter. Nevertheless, the performance of the filter depends directly on the...
متن کاملFault Self-Diagnosis for Modular Robotic Systems Using M-Lattice Modules
In the domain of modular robotic systems, self-configura‐ tion, self-diagnosis and self-repair are known to be highly challenging tasks. This paper presents a novel fault selfdiagnosis strategy which consists of two parts: fault detection and fault message transmission. In fault detec‐ tion, a bionic synchronization ‘healthy heartbeat’ method is used to guarantee the high efficiency of the exog...
