Artificial immune system (AIS) has recently been actively researched with a number of emerging engineering applications that has capitalized from its characteristics including self-organization, distributive control, knowledge mapping and fault tolerance. This paper reports the development of an AIS paradigm for the distributive control of a multi-jointed, redundant manipulator. Traditionally, manipulator control is achieved by analytical solutions. By adopting a multi-agent-based control paradigm, a multi-jointed manipulator can be thought of as a group of separately controlled agents. In this paper, we investigate the viability of a multi-agent immunology-based control framework for the trajectory control of a multi-jointed redundant manipulator.
人工免疫系统(Artificial immune system, AIS)近年来得到了广泛的研究,利用其自组织、分布式控制、知识映射和容错等特性,在工程领域得到了广泛的应用。本文报道了一种用于多关节冗余机械臂分布式控制的AIS范例的发展。传统上,机械手的控制是通过解析解来实现的。通过采用基于多智能体的控制范式,多关节机械臂可以看作是一组被单独控制的智能体。本文研究了基于多智能体免疫的多关节冗余机械臂轨迹控制框架的可行性。

Hierarchical fault diagnosis: application to an ozone plant 分层故障诊断在臭氧装置中的应用
Pub Date : 2004-12-01 DOI: 10.1109/RAMECH.2004.1438009

A framework for online passive fault diagnosis in hierarchical finite-state machines (HFSM) is presented and applied to an ozone generation plant. This approach takes advantage of system structure to reduce computational complexity. Here, the system model is broken into simpler substructures called D-holons. A diagnoser is constructed for each D-holon. At any given time, only a subset of the diagnosers are active, and as a result, instead of the entire model of the system, only the models of D-holons associated with active diagnosers are used for diagnosis. Furthermore, a set of sufficient conditions is provided under which the diagnosis process becomes semi-modular. The ozone generation plant under study, consisting of two units, is modeled as an HFSM. It is shown that a proper choice of sensors results in modular diagnosis (one diagnoser for each unit). Following the proposed framework, a hierarchical fault diagnosis system is designed for the plant. It is shown that the proposed approach significantly reduces the complexity of constructing and storing the diagnosis system.
提出了一种基于层次有限状态机(HFSM)的在线被动故障诊断框架,并将其应用于臭氧发生器。该方法利用系统结构降低了计算复杂度。在这里,系统模型被分解成更简单的子结构,称为d -空子。为每个D-holon构造一个诊断器。在任何给定时间,只有一小部分诊断器处于活动状态,因此,只有与活动诊断器相关的d -空子模型才用于诊断,而不是系统的整个模型。在此基础上,给出了诊断过程实现半模块化的充分条件。所研究的臭氧发生装置由两个单元组成,用HFSM建模。结果表明,适当选择传感器可实现模块化诊断(每个单元一个诊断器)。在此基础上,设计了基于层次分析法的故障诊断系统。结果表明,该方法显著降低了诊断系统的构建和存储复杂度。

Kinematic hybrid position/force control of a 3-DOF in-parallel actuated manipulator 三自由度并联机械臂的位置/力混合运动控制
Pub Date : 2004-12-01 DOI: 10.1109/RAMECH.2004.1438923

The paper aims to describe kinematic hybrid position/force control for a three-degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) in-parallel actuated manipulator, and its application to peg-in-hole task about 10 /spl mu/m clearance. The control system consists of a low-level position servo driven by force feedback in base coordinates. The computation required for the control is only inverse kinematics, which is very simple for the parallel-link manipulator. Assisted by a human operator, the motion is generated by using force-torque based joystick commands and/or preplanned motion data. In teleoperation mode, the human operator can intervene and superpose corrective motions over the preplanned searching motion.
本文研究了一种三自由度并联驱动机械臂的位置/力混合运动控制方法,并将其应用于间隙约为10 /spl μ m的钉孔任务。该控制系统由力反馈驱动的底层位置伺服系统组成。控制只需要计算逆运动学,这对于并联机械臂来说非常简单。在操作员的辅助下,通过使用基于力-扭矩的操纵杆命令和/或预先规划的运动数据来产生运动。在遥操作模式下,操作人员可以干预并在预先规划的搜索运动上叠加校正运动。

TOUCH is a real-time computer vision system that has been developed in order to aid the operation of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). The algorithm is based on a modified 4-connectivity approach that scans the incoming frames for a target hue range and based upon the largest connected blobs of hue, tracks an object and provides the two dimensional Cartesian coordinates of the desired object. Since few algorithms exist for tracking and recognizing objects in underwater environments, this algorithm provides a way for AUVs and ROVs to acquire, track or recognize objects by using a relatively fast and inexpensive vision system. This paper presents the details on TOUCH, its testing, some areas that warrant improvement and possible course of action for the future.

A framework for the coordination of legged robot gaits 一种有腿机器人步态协调的框架
Pub Date : 2004-12-01 DOI: 10.1109/RAMECH.2004.1438000

This paper introduces a framework for representing, generating, and then tuning gaits of legged robots. We introduce a convenient parametrization of gait generators as dynamical systems possessing designer specified stable limit cycles over an appropriate torus. This parametrization affords a continuous selection of operation within a coordination design plane, inspired by biology, spanned by axes that determine the mix of "feedforward/feedback" and "centralized/decentralized" control. Tuning the gait generator parameters through repeated physical experiments with our robot hexapod, RHex, determines the appropriate operating point - the mix of feedback and degree of control decentralization - to achieve significantly increased performance relative to the centralized feedforward operating point that has governed its previous behavior. The present preliminary experiments with these new gaits suggest that they may permit for the first time locomotion over extremely rough terrain that is almost as reliable, rapid, and energy efficient as the very fastest or most efficient outcomes centralized feedforward gaits can achieve on level ground.
介绍了一种用于表示、生成和调整有腿机器人步态的框架。我们引入了一种方便的参数化步态发生器作为具有设计者指定的稳定极限环的动态系统。这种参数化在协调设计平面内提供了连续的操作选择,受到生物学的启发,由决定“前馈/反馈”和“集中/分散”控制混合的轴所跨越。通过与我们的机器人六足机器人RHex进行重复的物理实验,调整步态生成器参数,确定适当的操作点-反馈和控制分散程度的混合-相对于控制其先前行为的集中前馈操作点,实现显着提高的性能。目前对这些新步态的初步实验表明,它们可能首次允许在极其崎岖的地形上运动,这几乎与在平地上最快或最有效的集中前馈步态一样可靠、快速和节能。

Precise needle placement is important for a number of percutaneous interventions. However insertions into soft tissues can be difficult to learn and to perform, due to tissue deformation, needle deflection and limited visual feedback. Complications associated with poor placement have been studied. Yet to date, little quantitative information is known about the interaction between needles and soft tissues during penetration, and few effective physically based needle guidance systems exist for such procedures. In this paper, some important works dealing with needle guidance in soft tissue were first reviewed. Then a "smart needling" system was proposed and some preliminary work was described.

Learning and control in assistive robotics for the elderly 老年人辅助机器人的学习与控制
Pub Date : 2004-12-01 DOI: 10.1109/RAMECH.2004.1438894

The worldwide population of elderly people is rapidly growing and is set to become a major problem in the coming decades. This phenomenon has the potential to create a huge market for domestic service robots that can assist with the care and support of the elderly. Robots that are able to help the user with specific physical tasks are likely to become very important in the future, but so far, unlike industrial robots, assistive robots are still under-developed and are not widely used. We analyse the nature of the requirements for assistive robotics for the elderly and argue that traditional "industrial" robot design and control approaches are inappropriate to tackle the key problem areas of safety, adaptivity, long-term autonomy of operation, user-friendliness and low costs. We present a novel approach to the control of autonomous assistive robots for the home, with emphasis on the special requirements for in situ learning, including software compensation for low precision hardware components. Our system consists of a modified behaviour-based architecture with integrated knowledge representation and planning abilities. Automatic error-recovery is implemented as an activation spreading mechanism and is distributed across the behaviour repertoire. Context-based experience is learned during both error recovery and normal action and assimilated into the behaviours. This allows reuse across different tasks, and facilitates gradual but life-long improvements in system performance. To evaluate our approach, an experimental laboratory testbed was constructed using low-cost, low-precision components. Our system was implemented in software and a series of experiments were performed in order to investigate a range of tasks. The tasks were selected to face some of the key issues identified and the results show the potential for software solutions to overcome the barriers to successful assistive robotics for the elderly. The methods, experiments and results are described in this paper.
全球老年人口正在迅速增长,并将在未来几十年成为一个主要问题。这种现象有可能为能够帮助照顾和支持老年人的家政服务机器人创造一个巨大的市场。能够帮助用户完成特定物理任务的机器人在未来可能会变得非常重要,但到目前为止,与工业机器人不同,辅助机器人仍然不发达,没有得到广泛应用。我们分析了老年人辅助机器人需求的本质,并认为传统的“工业”机器人设计和控制方法不适合解决安全性、适应性、长期自主操作、用户友好性和低成本等关键问题。我们提出了一种新的方法来控制家用自主辅助机器人,重点是现场学习的特殊要求,包括对低精度硬件组件的软件补偿。我们的系统由一个改进的基于行为的体系结构组成,具有集成的知识表示和规划能力。自动错误恢复作为一种激活传播机制实现,并分布在行为库中。基于上下文的经验是在错误恢复和正常操作过程中学习的,并被吸收到行为中。这允许跨不同任务的重用,并促进系统性能的渐进但终身的改进。为了评估我们的方法,使用低成本、低精度的组件构建了一个实验实验室测试平台。我们的系统在软件中实现,并进行了一系列的实验,以研究一系列的任务。选定的任务面对一些确定的关键问题,结果显示了软件解决方案的潜力,克服了成功的老年人辅助机器人的障碍。本文介绍了方法、实验和结果。

This paper presents an active suspension technique for a three-degrees-of-freedom (3-DOF) vibration isolation system using negative stiffness. A mode-based digital controller is designed based on a theoretical model to generate negative stiffness by active suspension. The active suspension mechanism, in conjunction with a conventional spring in series, can generate infinite stiffness against direct disturbances on the isolation table. Three-axis motions of the isolation table in the vertical directions are actively controlled by the proposed system. Experimental results show that the active suspension system using the proposed controller well evaluates and describes the zero-compliance against direct disturbances.

A behaviour-based optimisation strategy for multi-robot exploration 基于行为的多机器人探索优化策略
Pub Date : 2004-12-01 DOI: 10.1109/RAMECH.2004.1438033

To efficiently explore an unknown environment with a team of robots, a coordinated strategy that maximises the exploration area is required. This is a difficult optimisation problem, as there may exist many suboptimal solutions. In order to reduce the search space to a region that is near the optimal, a behaviour-based exploration strategy is used to define the region in which an optimal solution can be found. A numerical optimisation technique is then used to find the solution in this region. In particular, the proposed strategy uses a potential-fields technique to obtain a coarse movement direction for each robot.

为了让机器人团队有效地探索未知环境,需要一个协调的策略来最大化探索区域。这是一个困难的优化问题,因为可能存在许多次优解。为了将搜索空间缩小到接近最优解的区域,使用基于行为的探索策略来定义可以找到最优解的区域。然后使用数值优化技术来找到该区域的解。特别地,提出的策略使用势场技术来获得每个机器人的粗运动方向。然后采用非线性优化方法计算速度和与粗方向的角度偏差,以实现每次移动的最大勘探。仿真结果表明,该方法提供了一种有效的勘探策略。

This is a difficult optimisation problem, as there may exist many suboptimal solutions. In order to reduce the search space to a region that is near the optimal, a behaviour-based exploration strategy is used to define the region in which an optimal solution can be found. A numerical optimisation technique is then used to find the solution in this region. In particular, the proposed strategy uses a potential-fields technique to obtain a coarse movement direction for each robot.
