Supervision of Robot Control

2002
This work shows how to supervise a set of controllers designed by different specification to be applied at requested constrained trajectory for the autonomous mobile robot. In this paper are explained part of the control structure from local controllers to the agent level, the communication between the high supervisor and the local controller are ...

A flexible controller for robots

Microprocessors and Microsystems, 1983
Abstract The structure of a flexible microprocessor-based controller for a low-cost robot for component handling is described. The robot demonstrates three degrees of freedom within cylindrical coordinate motion. One axis uses end-stop pneumatic actuation with the remaining two axes being actuated by specially designed hydropneumatic drives. By using

On Controlling Robots with Redundancy

1991 American Control Conference, 1991
An adaptive position control scheme for manipulators possessing either kinematic or actuator redundancy is presented. The controller is developed by considering the end-effector position control problem and redundancy resolution problem separately. The end-effector position control problem is solved by using an adaptive scheme to generate the Cartesian-

Neuromodulation as a robot controller

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2009
This article presents a strategy for controlling autonomous robots, which is based on the principles of neuromodulation in the mammalian brain. Neuromodulatory systems signal important environmental events to the rest of the brain causing the organism to focus its attention on the appropriate object, ignore irrelevant distractions, and respond quickly ...

A taxonomy for robot control

Proceedings 1999 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (Cat. No.99CH36288C), 2003
In this work, a limited survey of the diverse issues related to robot control design architectures is presented. Based on this review, an initiatory taxonomy of robot control tasks, motions, architectures, and controllers is proposed. The objective for this taxonomy is to develop an expert system for industrial robot control under the emerging open ...

Control systems in robots

Proceedings of the ACM annual conference on - ACM'72, 1972
A general framework is presented for treating the production of behavior in a system that interacts purposively with its environment. Such a system is viewed as having two parts: a body, which forms the interface with the outside world, and a control.

Control robot by a generic control architecture

2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007
In this paper, we present a control architecture based on the concept of levels. The architecture is composed of two parts called the decision part and the perception part. This organization permits to construct various configurations and is adaptable to any application.

NEURAL NETWORKS FOR ROBOT CONTROL

Annual Review in Automatic Programming, 1994
Abstract This paper describes the use of neural networks in diferent domains of robot control. Three robot control problems, relevant to a broad range of robotics applications, are analyzed, with a review of the state of the art and a description of current research by the authors, highlighting the advantages of the use of neural networks with ...

Evolving Control Metabolisms for a Robot

Artificial Life, 2001
This article demonstrates a new method of programming artificial chemistries. It uses the emerging capabilities of the system's dynamics for information-processing purposes. By evolution of metabolisms that act as control programs for a small robot one achieves the adaptation of the internal metabolic pathways as well as the selection of the most ...

Decentral control of a robot-swarm

Proceedings Autonomous Decentralized Systems, 2005. ISADS 2005., 2005
In this paper, we present an approach to construct a universal architecture to control a team of autonomous robots. The suggested approach is robust against communication problems and robots' hardware failures. The system profits from its decentral architecture.
