In this paper an Energy Dissipation Rate Control (EDRC) method is introduced, which could provide stable walking or running gaits for legged robots. This method is realized by developing a semi-analytical pattern generation approach for a robot during each Single Support Phase (SSP). As yet, several control methods based on passive dynamic walking have been proposed by researchers to provide an...

Designing the self-balancing two-wheeled mobile robots and reducing undesired vibrations are of great importance. For this purpose, the majority of researches are focused on application of relatively complex control approaches without improving the robot structure. Therefore, in this paper we introduce a new two-wheeled mobile robot which, despite its relative simple structure, fulfills the req...

this paper presents designing an optimal adaptive controller for tracking control of robot manipulators based on particle swarm optimization (pso) algorithm. pso algorithm has been employed to optimize parameters of the controller and hence to minimize the integral square of errors (ise) as a performance criteria. in this paper, an improved pso using logic is proposed to increase the convergenc...

mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. in this paper, a new approachis proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. the proposedapproach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the trackusing a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. for training, a human operator navigates themobile robot in some...

in industrial robotic manipulator, due to the presence of quite nonlinear dynamic and structural and nonstructural uncertainties, a precise model is not easily obtained. as a result, designing a controller with a suitable function based on system model is a challenging issue. sliding mode control is a robust control with numerous applications which can overcome the aforementioned uncertainties....

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 ...

With the increasing number of people who have problems with their walking, a new type of gait rehabilitation training robot has been put forward and designed. In order to meet the requirements of the gait rehabilitation training, the whole mechanical structure and control system have been designed, and the model machine for gait rehabilitation training robot has been made. Using the human gait ...
