Multi-agent system-based fuzzy controller design with genetic tuning for a mobile manipulator robot in the hand over task

2004-03-01
This paper presents an application of the multi-agent system approach to a service mobile manipulator robot that interacts with a human during an object delivery and hand-over task in two dimensions. The base, elbow and shoulder of the robot are identified as three different agents, and are controlled using fuzzy control. The control variables of the controllers are linear velocity of the base, angular velocity of the elbow, and angular velocity of the shoulder. Main inputs to the system are the horizontal and vertical distances between the human and robot hands. These are input to all three agents. In developing the fuzzy control rules, effective delivery and avoidance of contact with humans, not to cause physical damage, are considered. The membership functions of the fuzzy controllers are tuned by using genetic algorithms. In tuning, the performance is calculated considering the distance deviation from the direct path, time spent to reach the human hand and energy consumed by the actuators. The proposed multi-agent system structure based on fuzzy control for the object delivery task succeeded in both effective and safe delivery.

Copyright © 2002 IFAC.This paper presents an application of the multi-agent system approach to a service mobile manipulator robot that interacts with a human during an object delivery and hand-over task in two dimensions. The base, elbow and shoulder of the robot are identified as three different agents, and are controlled using fuzzy control. The fuzzy rules of each agent are written considering the state of other agents besides its own state. While writing the rules effective delivery and avoiding the con...
Optimal Protraction of a Biologically Inspired Robot Leg
Erden, Mustafa Suphi (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2011-12-01)
In this paper, protraction movement, namely forward stepping, of a biologically inspired three-joint robot leg is optimized for minimum energy consumption. Trajectory optimization is performed for various initial-final tip point positions of protraction. A modified version of gradient descent based optimal control algorithm is used. The objective function is modified in steps to jump over many unfeasible and inefficient local optima. The optimized trajectories are used to construct a radial basis function n...
3D Path Planning for Multiple UAVs for Maximum Information Collection
Ergezer, Halit; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-01-01)
This paper addresses the problem of path planning for multiple UAVs. The paths are planned to maximize collected amount of information from Desired Regions (DR) while avoiding Forbidden Regions (FR) violation and reaching the destination. The approach extends prior study for multiple UAVs by considering 3D environment constraints. The path planning problem is studied as an optimization problem. The problem has been solved by a Genetic Algorithm (GA) with the proposal of novel evolutionary operators. The ini...
Momentum Transfer from Preshape to Grasping
Ozyer, Baris; Erkmen, İsmet; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-08-01)
A fully immersed object, suspended in water can be rotated from distance by a preshaped robot hand approaching and closing upon the object prior to contacting it. Momentum transfer from robot fingers closing into a grasp, to the fluid medium particles, and from these particles to the object surface generates the motion tendencies of that object in terms of rotational and translational displacements. In this paper, we propose the novel concept of a controller that determines either: 1) given initial position...
Multiple human trajectory prediction and cooperative navigation modeling in crowded scenes
Hacinecipoglu, Akif; Konukseven, Erhan İlhan; Koku, Ahmet Buğra (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-07-01)
As mobile robots start operating in environments crowded with humans, human-aware navigation is required to make these robots navigate safely, efficiently and in socially compliant manner. People navigate in an interactive and cooperative fashion so that, they are able to find their path to a destination even if there is no clear route leading to it. There are significant efforts to solve this problem for mobile robots; however, they are not scalable to high human density and learning based approaches depen...
