Ground-based robots for agricultural applications are receiving increased attention as labour availability and cost drive interest and uptake. Here we describe a radar method that is suitable for soil moisture measurement from a moving vehicle. We have employed techniques from impulse radar that enable measurement of soil reflection at resolutions smaller than the antenna beam width. We show how the resolution is affected by the radar pulse-width, antenna parameters, radar location and sensing angle. The radar backscatter coefficient is calculated from the radar signals themselves, and demonstrated by measurements taken on wet pasture at different elevation angles. Measurements show that radar backscatter coefficients can be reliably measured at angles up to 60 degrees from the nadir.
由于劳动力可用性和成本驱动的兴趣和采用,用于农业应用的地面机器人越来越受到关注。本文介绍了一种适用于移动车辆土壤湿度测量的雷达方法。我们采用了脉冲雷达技术,能够以小于天线波束宽度的分辨率测量土壤反射。我们展示了分辨率如何受到雷达脉冲宽度、天线参数、雷达位置和传感角度的影响。雷达后向散射系数由雷达信号本身计算得到,并通过在湿草地上不同仰角的测量结果进行验证。测量结果表明,雷达后向散射系数可以在距离最低点60度的角度上可靠地测量。

Despite their intrinsic structural compliance, a safe interaction of continuum robots with their environment requires a control strategy that is able to manage the compliant motion properly. This paper presents a peculiar strategy of application of the impedance control based on kinematic and dynamic models of the manipulator's sections. The control approach is able to deal with unpredicted contacts which can occur in unknown locations along the whole manipulator while the resulting contact forces don't need to be measured or estimated. The control concept is applied to a single section of the Bionic Handling Assistant, but its application can be extended to all the continuum robots modeled with the piecewise constant curvature approach.
尽管连续体机器人具有固有的结构顺应性,但其与环境的安全交互需要一种能够正确管理顺应运动的控制策略。本文提出了一种基于机械臂各部分运动学和动力学模型的阻抗控制的特殊应用策略。该控制方法能够处理在整个机械臂的未知位置发生的不可预测的接触,而产生的接触力不需要测量或估计。该控制概念适用于仿生搬运助手的单个部分,但其应用可以扩展到所有使用分段常曲率方法建模的连续体机器人。

Monocular and range camera cross-calibration for RGB-D sensor architectures RGB-D传感器架构的单目和距离相机交叉校准

RGB-D sensor frameworks such as the PrimeSense/Kinect have brought a massive change in the range of applications for the usage of depth data in not just core robotic and computer vision systems, but also in security, entertainment and medical faculties among others. Such projected texture range measurement systems have also effectively substituted traditional range sensor systems such as Laser and Lidar, which are not just bulky and expensive, but offer poor resolution/unit cost and low speed of usage. On the other hand, generic RGB-D sensor frameworks (as opposed to integrated RGB-D cameras) that provide flexibility in terms of usage of variegated monocular color and range image sensors form the future of computer vision applications. Unlike fixed RGB-D frameworks, these generic frameworks require explicit cross-calibration between the range and the monocular color image sensors. Traditional 2D checkerboard or similar alternate calibration patterns do not provide the necessary sensory response across the varied sensing modalities for accurate cross-calibration. To address this concern, we present a novel framework for extrinsic cross-calibration of variegated monocular and range sensors by extension of the traditional checkerboard pattern used for monocular or stereo calibration into a 3D checkerboard framework. A suite of computer vision techniques are also presented in order to obtain the necessary calibration parameters using the presented calibration pattern. Results presented show successful detection of correspondence points and estimation of extrinsic parameters for cross-calibration. It can also be seen that the error in the system increases with depth as the estimates from the Kinect sensor become unreliable.
RGB-D传感器框架(如PrimeSense/Kinect)不仅在核心机器人和计算机视觉系统中,而且在安全、娱乐和医学院系等领域中,为深度数据的使用带来了巨大的应用范围变化。这种投影纹理距离测量系统也有效地取代了传统的距离传感器系统,如激光和激光雷达,这些系统不仅体积庞大,价格昂贵,而且分辨率/单位成本低,使用速度慢。另一方面,通用的RGB-D传感器框架(与集成的RGB-D相机相反)在使用多样化的单目颜色和范围图像传感器方面提供了灵活性,形成了计算机视觉应用的未来。与固定的RGB-D框架不同,这些通用框架需要在距离和单眼彩色图像传感器之间进行明确的交叉校准。传统的二维棋盘或类似的替代校准模式不能在不同的传感模式中提供必要的感官响应,以进行准确的交叉校准。为了解决这一问题,我们提出了一种新的框架,通过将用于单眼或立体校准的传统棋盘模式扩展到3D棋盘框架,用于杂色单眼和距离传感器的外部交叉校准。为了利用所提出的标定模式获得必要的标定参数,本文还提出了一套计算机视觉技术。结果表明,该方法成功地检测了对应点并估计了交叉校准的外部参数。我们还可以看到,随着Kinect传感器的估计变得不可靠,系统中的误差会随着深度的增加而增加。

The development of an on board vision-based path following system for a fixed-wing UAV is presented. The application is railway following and three path-following controllers have been investigated for their suitability for this task. The system is novel in that it includes all system components on board a lightweight and low-cost UAV. A vision system has been developed to characterise railway lines as first-order polynomials and relay this information to a flight controller. Its functionality was extended to provide information about the pixel distance between railway tracks, to be used to calculate the height of the plane above the railway. In simulation, the Non-Linear Guidance Law was found to be the controller that yielded the fastest settling times and least overshoot values; followed by the Vector Field method. A baseline PID method was the worst performing controller. Flight tests were performed to verify operation of the system but no conclusions could be drawn regarding controller performance.
介绍了一种固定翼无人机机载视觉路径跟踪系统的研制。应用于铁路跟踪,并研究了三种路径跟踪控制器对该任务的适用性。该系统的新颖之处在于它包含了轻型和低成本无人机上的所有系统组件。一种视觉系统已经被开发出来,以一阶多项式表征铁路线,并将此信息传递给飞行控制器。它的功能被扩展到提供铁轨之间的像素距离信息,用于计算铁路上方的平面高度。仿真结果表明,非线性制导律是沉降时间最短、超调量最小的控制器;然后是矢量场法。基线PID方法是性能最差的控制器。进行了飞行试验以验证系统的运行,但没有得出关于控制器性能的结论。

Franco Hidalgo, T. Bräunl
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) for underwater vehicles is a challenging research topic due to the limitations of underwater localization sensors and error accumulation over long-term operations. Furthermore, acoustic sensors for mapping often provide noisy and distorted images or low-resolution ranging, while video images provide highly detailed images but are often limited due to turbidity and lighting. This paper presents a review of the approaches used in state-of-the-art SLAM techniques: Extended Kalman Filter SLAM (EKF-SLAM), FastSLAM, GraphSLAM and its application in underwater environments.
由于水下定位传感器的局限性和长期运行过程中误差的积累,水下航行器的SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping)是一个具有挑战性的研究课题。此外,用于测绘的声学传感器通常提供嘈杂和扭曲的图像或低分辨率测距,而视频图像提供非常详细的图像,但往往受到浊度和光照的限制。本文综述了当前最先进的SLAM技术中使用的方法:扩展卡尔曼滤波SLAM (EKF-SLAM)、FastSLAM、GraphSLAM及其在水下环境中的应用。

Fuzzy gain scheduled EKF for model-based Skid-Steered Mobile Robot 基于模型的滑动导向移动机器人模糊增益调度EKF

This article describes an approach to autonomous robotic for agricultural applications. Technological setup aims at stable navigation based on estimation through Extended Kalman filtering (EKF), to enforce robust Skid-Steered Mobile Robot (SSMR) navigation. The scientific contribution is the implementation of two model-based estimators, using EKF algorithms, one on a nonlinear model, and one on a piece-wise linearized robot model. The later is a Fuzzy Gain Scheduled (FGS)-based development. The process is taking into account tire-road modelling of friction forces in order to improve model performance. State estimation and correction using sensor data fusion (Odometry-IMU-GPS) is considered, to improve the SSMR control in critical motions, reducing inherent drifts due to skid-steer properties; for the purpose of better regulation and tracking control designs. Whilst the experimental results demonstrated the usefulness of FGS approach for optimal EKF estimation, further modelling and live testing are required to determine robot ability to cope with different scenarios in naturally varying environment.
本文描述了一种用于农业应用的自主机器人的方法。基于扩展卡尔曼滤波(EKF)估计的稳定导航技术,实现稳健滑向移动机器人(SSMR)导航。科学贡献是使用EKF算法实现了两个基于模型的估计器,一个用于非线性模型,另一个用于分段线性化机器人模型。后者是基于模糊增益计划(FGS)的开发。该过程考虑了轮胎-道路的摩擦力模型,以提高模型的性能。考虑使用传感器数据融合(Odometry-IMU-GPS)进行状态估计和校正,以改善临界运动中的SSMR控制,减少由于滑转向特性引起的固有漂移;为了更好的调节和跟踪控制设计。虽然实验结果证明了FGS方法对最佳EKF估计的有效性,但需要进一步的建模和现场测试来确定机器人在自然变化的环境中应对不同场景的能力。

This paper investigates the motion control for a nonholonomic mobile manipulator with the objective of simultaneously controlling the velocity of the mobile base and the motion of the end-effector. Both the reference velocity for the mobile base and the reference trajectory for the end-effector are specified in the task-space. A steering velocity is designed based on the steering system of the mobile base via dynamic feedback linearization, with the advantage of directly using the reference velocity set in task-space. A torque controller is subsequently designed via backstepping based on the dynamics of the mobile manipulator to ensure that the mobile base tracks the designed steering velocity and the end-effector tracks the reference trajectory. The asymptotic stability of both the velocity tracking error and the end-effector motion tracking error is achieved. Simulations are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

This paper presents design, implementation details and field trial results for a multimodal human machine interface for a robotic walking and sit-to-stand transfer assisting device with force-torque-sensor, user intention detection and active fall prevention. Two different human machine interfaces are described, a purely haptic version with buttons only and an alternative approach using a tablet computer. It is described, how the different modalities, optimized for the target user group of elderly persons, make the interaction with the system intuitive and reduce fear of contact with such a technical system. For the tablet PC based touch sensitive interface we describe our approach to automatically track user interactions with the system for detailed analysis and user interface optimization.

A mobile robot's ability to negotiate obstacles is important for successful point-to-point navigation. Hence, this paper presents a two stage fuzzy reactive control method. The first stage consists of a direction sensor that employs a fuzzy objective function to compute a direction (heading angle) for a robot to travel. At the second stage, a fuzzy dynamic window method utilizes a fuzzy objective function to determine the target wheel velocities of the robot. Simulations with two heterogeneous robots are performed in multiple environments. Initial results indicate that the fuzzy methods improve path length and are better at reducing speed around obstacles than linear methods.

The structure of a novel soft robot which can mimic a few movements of human tongue was designed with a series of embedded chambers using pneumatic actuation pattern. Two silicone materials (Ecoflex 0030 and PDMS) were chosen to fabricate the body of the robot. FEM simulations have been carried out using software Abaqus. Four types of deformation have been achieved in simulation including roll, groove, elongation and twist when different combinations of chambers were pressurized with the same pressure of 17 kPa. The relationship between deformation range and structural parameters, the pressure in each chamber was also discovered during simulation.
采用气动驱动模式,设计了一种新型的模拟人类舌头部分动作的软体机器人结构。选择了两种有机硅材料(Ecoflex 0030和PDMS)来制造机器人的主体。利用Abaqus软件进行了有限元模拟。在相同压力为17 kPa的条件下,不同的腔室组合受压时,模拟得到了4种类型的变形,包括辊形、槽形、伸长率和扭转。在模拟过程中还发现了变形范围与结构参数、各腔室压力之间的关系。
