Abstract [en]

The highly percipient nature of human mind in avoiding sensory overload is a crucial factor which gives human vision an advantage over machine vision, the latter has otherwise powerful computational resources at its disposal given today’s technology. This stresses the need to focus on methods which extract a concise representation of the environment inorder to approach a complex problem such as visual mapping. This article is an attempt of creating a mapping system, which proposes an architecture that combines task-specific and saliency driven approaches. The proposed method is implemented on a warehouse robot. The proposed solution provide a priority framework which enables an industrial robot to build a concise visual representation of the environment. The method is evaluated on data collected by a RGBD sensor mounted on a fork-lift robot and shows promise for addressing visual mapping problems in industrial environments.

Abstract [en]

In this article, we address the problem of realizing a complete efficient system for automated management of fleets of autonomous ground vehicles in industrial sites. We elicit from current industrial practice and the scientific state of the art the key challenges related to autonomous transport vehicles in industrial environments and relate them to enabling techniques in perception, task allocation, motion planning, coordination, collision prediction, and control. We propose a modular approach based on least commitment, which integrates all modules through a uniform constraint-based paradigm. We describe an instantiation of this system and present a summary of the results, showing evidence of increased flexibility at the control level to adapt to contingencies.

Abstract [en]

The use of the velocity potential of an incompressible fluid is an important and elegant tool for obstacle avoidance of mobile robots. Obstacles are modeled as cylindrical objects - combinations of cylinders can also form super obstacles. Possible trajectories of a vehicle are given by a set of streamlines around the obstacle computed by the velocity potential. Because of the number of streamlines and of data points involved therein, models of sets of streamlines for different sizes of obstacles are created first using dataset models and finally fuzzy models of streamlines. Once an obstacle appears in the sensor cone of the robot the set of streamlines is computed from which that streamline is selected that guarantees a smooth transition from/to the planned trajectory. Collisions with other robots are avoided by a combination of velocity potential and force potential and/or the change of streamlines during operation (lane hopping).

Abstract [en]

Obstacle avoidance is an important issue for off-line path planning and on-line reaction to unforeseen appearance of obstacles during motion of a non-holonomic mobile robot along apredefined trajectory. Possible trajectories for obstacle avoidance are modeled by the velocity potential using a uniform flow plus a doublet representing a cylindrical obstacle. In the case of an appearance of an obstacle in the sensor cone of the robot a set of streamlines is computed from which a streamline is selected that guarantees a smooth transition from/to the planned trajectory. To avoid collisions with other robots a combination of velocity potential and force potential and/or the change of streamlines during operation (lane hopping) are discussed.

Abstract [en]

Robot skills are low-level motion and/or grasping capabilities that constitute the basic building blocks from which tasks are built. Teaching and recognition of such skills can be done by Programming-by-Demonstration approach. A human operator demonstrates certain skills while his motions are recorded by a data-capturing device and modeled in our case via fuzzy clustering and Takagi-Sugeno modeling technique. The resulting skill models use the time as input and the operator's actions and reactions as outputs. Given a test skill by the human operator the robot control system recognizes the individual phases of skills and generates the type of skill shown by the operator.

Abstract [en]

In this paper we address the design of a fuzzy flight controller that achieves stable and robust -aggressive- manoeuvrability for an unmanned helicopter. The fuzzy flight controller proposed consists of a combination of a fuzzy gain scheduler and linguistic (Mamdani-type) controller. The fuzzy gain scheduler is used for stable and robust altitude, roll, pitch, and yaw control. The linguistic controller is used to compute the inputs to the fuzzy gain scheduler, i.e., desired values for roll, pitch, and yaw at given desired altitude and horizontal velocities. The flight controller is obtained and tested in simulation using a realistic nonlinear MIMO model of a real unmanned helicopter platform, the APID-MK

Abstract [en]

In this paper, we address the design of an attitude controller that achieves stable, and robust aggressive maneuverability for an unmanned helicopter. The controller proposed is in the form of a fuzzy gain-scheduler, and is used for stable and robust altitude, roll, pitch, and yaw control. The controller is obtained from a realistic nonlinear multiple-input-multiple-output model of a real unmanned helicopter platform, the APID-MK3. The results of this work are illustrated by extensive simulation, showing that the objective of aggressive, and robust maneuverability has been achieved.

Abstract [en]

We describe our initial steps toward the realization of a robotic system for assisting fire-fighting and rescue services. The system implements the concept of shared autonomy between the robot and the human operator: the mobile robot performs local navigation, sensing and mapping, while the operator interprets the sensor data and provides strategic navigation goals.

Abstract [en]

This paper addresses the robust fuzzy control problem for discrete-time nonlinear systems in the presence of sampling time uncertainties. The case of the discrete T-S fuzzy system with sampling-time uncertainty is considered and a robust controller design method is proposed. The sufficient conditions and the design procedure are formulated in the form of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). The effectiveness of the proposed controller design methodology is demonstrated of a visual-servoing control problem.

Abstract [en]

We focus on the analysis and design of two different sliding mode observers for dynamic Takagi-Sugeno (TS) fuzzy systems. A nonlinear system of this class is composed of multiple affine local linear models that are smoothly interpolated by weighting functions resulting from a fuzzy partitioning of the state space of a given nonlinear system subject to observation. The Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system is then an accurate approximation of the original nonlinear system. Our approach to the analysis and design of observers for Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy systems is based on extending sliding mode observer schemes to the case of interpolated multiple local affine linear models. Thus, our main contribution is nonlinear observer analysis and design methods that can effectively deal with model/plant mismatches. Furthermore, we consider the difficult case when the weighting functions in the Takagi-Sugeno fuzzy system depend on the estimated state
