Finding a victim buried in a snow avalanche as quickly as possible can significantly increase the victim’s survival rate. A body-pose estimation algorithm is described that quickly and efficiently estimates the victim’s pose (3D location and orientation) underneath the snow. The algorithm exploits non-parametric Bayesian estimation and considers the uncertainty in an avalanche transceiver’s magnetic-field measurement. Simulation results compare the performances between three victim-search methods: (1) naive raster-scanning search, (2) traditional industry-standard search along the measured magnetic field lines, and (3) search by the Bayesian-based technique. The results show that the Bayesian-based technique accurately determines the victim’s pose within two minutes. In contrast, the raster-scanning and magnetic-field-line following methods yield search times more than three to four times longer.
在雪崩中尽快找到被埋的受害者可以显著提高受害者的存活率。描述了一种快速有效地估计雪下受害者姿势(3D位置和方向)的身体姿势估计算法。该算法利用了非参数贝叶斯估计,并考虑了雪崩收发器磁场测量中的不确定性。仿真结果比较了三种受害者搜索方法的性能:(1)朴素栅格扫描搜索,(2)沿着测量磁力线的传统行业标准搜索,以及(3)基于贝叶斯技术的搜索。结果表明,基于贝叶斯的技术在两分钟内准确地确定了受害者的姿势。相比之下,栅格扫描和磁场线跟踪方法的搜索时间要长三到四倍以上。

Chemical-Source Localization Using a Swarm of Decentralized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Urban/Suburban Environments 基于分散无人机群的城市/郊区环境化学源定位

In this paper, a decentralized chemical-source localization method is presented. In a real-world scenario, many challenges arise, including sporadic chemical measurements due to the complex interactions between the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the ambient air, and obstacles. The localization method is split into two phases: a search phase, where the agents cover the area and look for an initial chemical reading; followed by a convergence phase, where UAV agents utilize a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to locate the source of the chemical leak. The decentralized source-localization method enables a swarm of UAVs to safely travel in a complex environment and avoid obstacles and other agents while searching for the leaking source. The method is validated in simulation using realistic dynamic chemical plumes and through outdoor flight tests using a swarm of UAVs. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the approach.
本文提出了一种分散的化学源定位方法。在现实世界中,会出现许多挑战,包括由于无人机(uav)、环境空气和障碍物之间复杂的相互作用而导致的零星化学测量。定位方法分为两个阶段:搜索阶段,代理人覆盖该区域并寻找初始化学读数;随后是收敛阶段,其中无人机代理利用粒子群优化(PSO)算法来定位化学品泄漏的来源。分散源定位方法使无人机群能够在复杂环境中安全飞行,并在搜索泄漏源的同时避开障碍物和其他代理。该方法在真实动态化学羽流仿真和无人机群室外飞行试验中得到了验证。结果表明了该方法的可行性。

Passive tuning phenomenon with a sliding mass on a vibrating beam has been observed and studied in the literature. Such a phenomenon can be extended to self-resonant energy harvesting, where the natural frequency can be favorably adjusted to the excitation frequency for enhanced energy harvesting. In this paper, we consider the nonlinear dynamic coupling of a piezoelectric clamped-clamped beam with sliding mass and study experimentally and numerically how these nonlinear interactions affect the performance of the energy harvester. We derive the mathematical model using the extended Hamilton principle. The governing equations of motion are obtained as three coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. The Galerkin method is employed to obtain a reduced order model. Our mathematical formulation is validated via experiments and the results show very good agreement between the simulation and the experiment. Parametric studies are carried out to examine how key parameters affect the performance of the energy harvester. The findings suggest that a passively tuned mechanism with a small sliding mass can increase the power output even when the excitation frequency is far off the original resonance.
已有文献对振动梁上滑动质量的被动调谐现象进行了观察和研究。这种现象可以扩展到自谐振能量收集,其中固有频率可以很好地调整到激励频率,以增强能量收集。本文考虑了具有滑动质量的压电夹紧梁的非线性动力耦合,并通过实验和数值研究了这些非线性相互作用对能量收集器性能的影响。我们利用扩展的汉密尔顿原理推导了数学模型。得到了三个耦合非线性偏微分方程的运动控制方程。采用伽辽金方法得到降阶模型。通过实验验证了本文的数学公式,仿真结果与实验结果吻合较好。进行了参数化研究,以检验关键参数如何影响能量采集器的性能。研究结果表明,小滑动质量的被动调谐机构即使在激励频率远离原共振时也能提高输出功率。

Modelling and Experimental Study for PVC Gel Actuators PVC凝胶致动器的建模与实验研究

Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC) gels are a promising material for soft robotic actuators due to their fast response rates and remarkable deformation characteristics. A variety of different actuator types can be made with PVC gels because their deformation via anodophilic creep is highly customizable by alteration of the electrode configuration, applied electric field, surface microstructure, and plasticizer content. This level of customization is not typically possible with other electroactive polymer actuators. Several attempts have been made to model PVC gel anodophilic creep actuation. Most of these have been limited in scope to particular actuator types and are phenomenological models. An accurate predictive model is necessary for the implementation and control of these actuators in the field of soft robotics, and this can be better achieved through the use of a physics-based electromechanical model. In this paper the underlying mechanisms for PVC gel actuation are discussed, and simulation results are shown. We present our finite element model which seeks to move towards a more general model for PVC gels derived from first principles. This electromechanical model is based on the Maxwell stress that is developed within the PVC gel along the anode when an electric field is applied. COMSOL Multiphysics modeling software is utilized for the simulation of PVC gel deformation when exposed to an electric potential. In addition, an experimental study of PVC gels was conducted to verify the model for mesh-type contraction actuators, and the simulated results provide context and support for the underlying mechanisms discussed.
增塑型聚氯乙烯(PVC)凝胶由于其快速的响应速度和显著的变形特性,是一种很有前途的柔性机器人执行器材料。各种不同类型的致动器可以用PVC凝胶制成,因为通过改变电极配置、外加电场、表面微观结构和增塑剂含量,PVC凝胶通过厌氧蠕变产生的变形是高度可定制的。这种级别的定制通常不可能与其他电活性聚合物致动器。已经进行了几次尝试来模拟PVC凝胶的厌氧蠕变驱动。其中大多数都局限于特定的致动器类型,并且是现象学模型。在软机器人领域,精确的预测模型是实现和控制这些执行器的必要条件,而使用基于物理的机电模型可以更好地实现这一目标。本文讨论了聚氯乙烯凝胶驱动的基本机理,并给出了仿真结果。我们提出了我们的有限元模型,旨在从第一原理推导出一个更一般的PVC凝胶模型。这个机电模型是基于麦克斯韦应力,是在PVC凝胶沿着阳极施加电场时形成的。COMSOL Multiphysics建模软件用于模拟PVC凝胶在暴露于电位时的变形。此外,还对PVC凝胶进行了实验研究,以验证网格型收缩致动器的模型,仿真结果为所讨论的潜在机制提供了背景和支持。

This work addresses the observability properties of linear time-invariant systems that are monitored by a sensor network that provides access only to relative measurements and partial absolute observations of the state-space variables. Graph-theoretical tools are deployed to represent the information sharing links between the sensors of the network. The results are extended to multi-agent coordinated systems that are independently controlled or execute distributed control protocols. Explicit analytical conditions are derived that determine the system’s observability with respect to the spectral characteristics of the information-sharing network. The system’s observability is further investigated for multi-agent systems governed by the agreement dynamics where only a singleton measurement is available. The analysis is disseminated to the design of distributed observers where the agents have only available their relative displacement measurement from their neighbors. The distributed observer’s estimation error is rendered globally asymptotically stable by the addition of an anchor node that has access to the absolute motion of a single agent (node). The theoretical analysis is validated through numerical simulations.

Towards Cooperative Transportation of Multiple Mecanum-Wheeled Automated Guided Vehicles 多机轮自动引导车辆协同运输研究
IF 0.6 Q4 AUTOMATION & CONTROL SYSTEMS Pub Date : 2019-11-26 DOI: 10.1115/dscc2019-9141

Utilizing multiple small-sized automated guided vehicles (AGVs) in cooperatively transport large and heavy objects in manufacturing factories or logistics is an emerging research direction. Flexibility and efficiency can be enhanced by using multi-AGV comparing to a large AGV with higher capacity especially in clutter environments. In this paper, a multi-AGV system by using Mecanum wheels to provide omnidirectional movement is proposed for cooperative transportation. Accordingly, the proposed Mecanum-wheeled automated guided vehicles (MWAGVs) composed of Mecanum wheels and a rotary platform provides not only non-constrained movement but also planar displacement for allowance of distance errors. In the proposed MWAGVs, the formation control with fixed geometry during operation is significant especially with unknown object information, dynamic uncertainties, and external disturbances. Therefore, the passivity-based adaptive synchronizing control algorithm is developed to ensure stability and tracking performance with uncertain dynamic parameters. Simulations and Experiments show the efficacy of designed Mecanum-wheeled AGV.
利用多辆小型自动导引车(agv)协同运输制造工厂或物流中的大型和重型物品是一个新兴的研究方向。与容量较大的大型AGV相比,使用多AGV可以提高系统的灵活性和效率,特别是在杂波环境下。本文提出了一种利用机械轮提供全方位运动的多agv协同运输系统。因此,所提出的由Mecanum轮和旋转平台组成的Mecanum轮式自动导向车(mwagv)不仅可以提供无约束的运动,还可以提供平面位移以考虑距离误差。在mwagv系统中,特别是在存在未知目标信息、动态不确定性和外部干扰的情况下,具有固定几何形状的编队控制具有重要意义。为此,为了保证系统在动态参数不确定情况下的稳定性和跟踪性能,提出了基于无源性的自适应同步控制算法。仿真和实验验证了所设计的机械轮式AGV的有效性。

Drop-on-demand (DoD) inkjet printing is used in precise-dosage deposition applications where consistent drop volume is important. Existing drop volume regulation in DoD inkjet printing are mainly open-loop approaches that are not effective in compensating for uncertainties during high volume printing applications. In this paper, a real-time image-based feedback system is proposed for regulating drop volume. A rotational symmetric model estimates drop volume from real-time images. Estimation accuracy is analyzed and validated. A simple feedback controller is developed to regulate drop volume. Experimental results validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Backstepping-Based Trajectory Tracking for Underwater Gliders 基于后退的水下滑翔机轨迹跟踪

Autonomous underwater gliders have become valuable tools for a myriad of applications ranging from ocean exploration to fish tracking to environmental sampling. To be suitable for these types of applications, precise sensing and monitoring is desired, which makes accurate trajectory control important. However, highly nonlinear under-actuated dynamics present significant challenges in control of gliders. In this work a backstepping-based controller is proposed for an underwater glider to track a desired position and heading reference in the sagittal plane with only two control inputs, the buoyancy and center of gravity along the longitudinal direction. In particular,the under-actuation issue is addressed by exploiting the coupled dynamics and introducing a new modified error that combines the tracking errors of heading and position references. In addition, an auxiliary system is incorporated to account for input constraints. Finally, a sliding mode observer is designed to obtain the estimates of body-fixed velocities, to facilitate practical implementation of the designed controller. The effectiveness of the proposed control scheme is demonstrated via simulations and its advantages are shown via comparison with a PID controller.
自主水下滑翔机已经成为无数应用的宝贵工具,从海洋勘探到鱼类跟踪到环境采样。为了适应这些类型的应用,需要精确的传感和监测,这使得精确的轨迹控制变得重要。然而,高度非线性的欠驱动动力学对滑翔机的控制提出了重大挑战。本文提出了一种基于后退的水下滑翔机控制器,该控制器只需要两个控制输入,即沿纵向的浮力和重心,即可在矢状面上跟踪所需的位置和航向参考。特别地,通过利用耦合动力学和引入一种新的修正误差来解决欠驱动问题,该修正误差结合了航向和位置参考的跟踪误差。此外,一个辅助系统被纳入考虑输入约束。最后,设计了一个滑模观测器来获得定体速度的估计,以方便所设计控制器的实际实现。通过仿真验证了所提控制方案的有效性,并与PID控制器进行了比较。

Solution of the Benchmark Control Problem by Scenario Optimization 基于场景优化的基准控制问题求解

This article introduces a scenario optimization framework for reliability-based design given measurements of the uncertain parameters. In contrast to traditional methods, scenario optimization makes direct use of the available data thereby eliminating the need for assuming a distribution class and estimating its hyper-parameters. Scenario theory provides formal bounds on the probabilistic performance of a design decision and certifies the system ability to comply with various requirements for future/unseen observations. This probabilistic certificate of correctness is non-asymptotic and distribution-free. Furthermore, chance-constrained optimization techniques are used to detect and eliminate the effects of outliers in the resulting optimal design. The proposed framework is exemplified on a benchmark robust control challenge problem having conflicting design objectives.
本文介绍了一种给定不确定参数测量的基于可靠性设计的场景优化框架。与传统方法相比,场景优化直接使用可用数据,从而消除了假设分布类和估计其超参数的需要。场景理论为设计决策的概率性能提供了正式的界限,并证明系统能够满足未来/不可见观察的各种需求。这种正确性的概率证明是非渐近的和无分布的。此外,机会约束优化技术用于检测和消除结果优化设计中的异常值的影响。该框架以一个具有冲突设计目标的鲁棒控制挑战问题为例进行了验证。

Inspired by the agility and maneuverability of running kangaroos, a prototype robot was developed using a reduced order model to constrain the system. Both passive and active models were used to understand the relationship between system parameters and gait performance. A frequency response experiment was performed on the prototype to quantify the relationship between design parameters and system responses. Additionally, preliminary tail controllers were tested. Based on the results of the initial platform, a new robot was designed and built as a platform for the study of three dimensional hopping.
受袋鼠奔跑的敏捷性和机动性的启发,利用降阶模型来约束系统,开发了一个原型机器人。采用被动和主动模型来了解系统参数与步态性能之间的关系。为了量化设计参数与系统响应之间的关系,对样机进行了频率响应实验。此外,还对初步尾翼控制器进行了测试。在初始平台研究结果的基础上,设计并构建了一种新的机器人作为研究三维跳跃的平台。
