In order to convert the leg interaction force between the exoskeleton and human body into the expected angle of the movement of the human hip and knee at the next moment, and realize the recognition of human motion intention, the mapping relationship between the joint angular velocity and the active joint torque generated by the leg interaction force was studied. Firstly, by collecting joint angle data from the gait experiment, the movement characteristics of lower limb swing phase and support phase in normal daily gait were analyzed, and the joint angle prediction strategies for different phases of human body were determined. Then, by establishing the dynamic model of exoskeleton under human-machine coupling, the formula of human body gravity compensation was obtained. Then, regarding the leg swing phase, the nonlinear mapping relationship between the joint angular velocity of human body and the joint torque generated by the interaction force of the leg after gravity compensation was established through the admittance control model. The desired Angle was obtained by multiplying the angular velocity of the control period plus the current joint angle. Finally, for the prediction of the expected joint Angle of the leg support phase, the hip joint should be controlled by position to keep the back of the exoskeleton upright, and the knee joint should adopt the same algorithm as the swing to obtain the desired joint angle.

Non-verbal behaviors play an essential role in human-human interaction, allowing people to convey their intention and attitudes, and affecting social outcomes. Of particular importance in the context of human-robot interaction is that the communicative gestures are expected to endow social robots with the capability of emphasizing its speech, describing something, or showing its intention. In this paper, we propose an approach to learn the relation between human behaviors and natural language based on a Conditional Generative Adversarial Network (CGAN). We demonstrated the validity of our model through a public dataset. The experimental results indicated that the generated human-like gestures correctly convey the meaning of input sentences. The generated gestures were transformed into the target robot’s motion, being the robot’s personalized communicative gestures, which showed significant improvements over the baselines and could be widely accepted and understood by the general public.

This paper proposes a novel method that significantly improves the accuracy of the fisheye stereo camera using multiple disparity offset maps that contain disparity error information. The disparity offset map is constructed based on disparity errors that are calculated from the feature points extracted from an object with a known distance. Modified stereo matching process based on the maps is carried out to greatly reduce the disparity errors that cannot be completely removed by general calibration scheme. Furthermore, the our method is possible to achieve high accuracy in both short and long range by combining the multiple maps. The proposed method is verified by experiments.

In this study, we investigated the characteristics of piezoelectric sensors woven with a flexible fiber-based substrate. Eight polyvinylidene fluoride film-based piezoelectric sensors were placed in parallel on a flexible fabric, passing above and below the intersection of the yarns. To study the electrical properties of the sensors, sinusoidal flexural loadings with different bending angles and operating frequencies were applied to the fabric substrate. The experimental results indicated that different flexural loadings can be differentiated by analyzing the output voltages from the sensors. Also, the results confirmed that the output voltage remains constant with varying operating frequencies at a fixed bending angle. Also, the voltage amplitudes of the sensors were proportional to the bending angle.

Autonomy is increasingly demanded by industrial manipulators. Robots have to be capable to regulate their behavior to different operational conditions, without requiring high time/resource-consuming human intervention. Achieving an automated tuning of the control parameters of a manipulator is still a challenging task. This paper addresses the problem of automated tuning of the manipulator controller for trajectory tracking. A Bayesian optimization algorithm is proposed to tune both the low-level controller parameters (i.e., robot dynamics compensation) and the high-level controller parameters (i.e., the joint PID gains). The algorithm adapts the control parameters through a data-driven procedure, optimizing a userdefined trajectory-tracking cost. Safety constraints ensuring, e.g., closed-loop stability and bounds on the maximum joint position errors, are also included. The performance of the proposed approach is demonstrated on a torque-controlled 7degree-of-freedom FRANKA Emika robot manipulator. The 25 robot control parameters (i.e., 4 link-mass parameters and 21 PID gains) are tuned in 125 iterations, and comparable results with respect to the FRANKA Emika embedded position controller are achieved.

This paper presents a deep reinforcement learning based robot outdoor navigation method using visual information. The deep q network (DQN) maps the visual data to robot action in a goal location reaching task. An advantage of the proposed method is that the implemented DQN is trained in the first-person shooter (FPS) game-based simulated environment provided by ViZDoom. The FPS simulated environment reduces the differences between the training and the real environments resulting in a good performance of trained DQNs. In our implementation a marker-based augmented reality algorithm with a simple object detection method is used to train the DQN. The proposed outdoor navigation system is tested in the simulation and real robot implementation, with no additional training. Experimental results showed that the navigation system trained inside the game-based simulation can guide the real robot in outdoor goal directed navigation tasks.

To prevent the situation where the motors do not working appropriately by the teleoperation of unstructured environments or the system malfunctions, Dual-Motor-Driving (DMD) mechanism is applied to the mobile robots. While the conventional robot system where one actuator is assigned to each Degree of Freedom (DoF), it is essential to control two motors synchronously due to the complex mechanical system of the DMD. To maximize the load torque, each motor must rotate as the same angular velocity. In this paper, we represent a DMD mechanism with the synchronized angular velocities of the motors with an experiment as a fundamental DMD research.

Soft food grasping in the food processing field is challenging for traditional robot hands because of the large demand, special hygiene cleanness and damage-free requirements. The paper-made grippers are low-cost and disposable to solve the crucial cleanness problem and they have soft structures which can adapt to the object shapes to avoid possible grasping damages. In this paper, we propose two paper-made grippers for the increasing soft object grasping requirements in the food processing field. One gripper uses a biomimetic mechanism of human hand to provide a force-closure grasping capability, and the other one uses a scoop mode to achieve a shape- closure grasping capability. Both grippers are low-cost, easy- fabrication and with simple actuation mechanism to enable a mass production. Experiments with different gripper designs were carried out to compare the two grippers performance, and preliminary results proved the possibility of applying these paper grippers for the food processing field.

In this study, a robot welding application for the control of the weld seam geometry by means of in situ image acquisition and robot trajectory correction has been investigated. For this approach, the arc centroid position of the process images was correlated with the weld seam flank ratio of the examined fillet weld seam application. The correction was performed along a selected trajectory plane without violating the welding process stability. In addition, the system as a sum of its partial competences with their different synchronization requirements and corresponding bottlenecks was illuminated. Optimization suggestions arose especially in advanced control engineering as well as in-kernel processing and in-network computing. In summary, it can be stated that, on the one hand, the examined relationship between arc centroid and flank ratio is subject to interference and that image processing in particular has potential for optimization.
