We report on the design and analysis of a controller that can achieve dynamical self-righting of our hexapedal robot, RHex. Motivated by the initial success of an empirically tuned controller, we present a feedback controller based on a saggital plane model of the robot. We also extend this controller to develop a hybrid pumping strategy that overcomes actuator torque limitations, resulting in robust flipping behavior over a wide range of surfaces. We present simulations and experiments to validate the model and characterize the performance of the new controller.

Back flips with a hexapedal robot Saranlı, Uluç (2002-05-15) We report on the design and analysis of a controller which can achieve dynamical self-righting of our hexapedal robot, RHex. We present an empirically developed control procedure which works reasonably well on indoor surfaces, using a hybrid energy pumping strategy to overcome torque limitations of its actuators. Subsequent modeling and analysis yields a new controller with a much wider domain of success as well as a preliminary understanding of the necessary hybrid control strategy. Simulation results demo...
A real time test setup design and realization for performance verification of controller designs for unmanned air vehichles Küreksiz, Funda; Platin, Bülent Emre; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2008) In this thesis, a test platform based on real-time facilities and embedded software is designed to verify the performance of a controller model in real time. By the help of this platform, design errors can be detected earlier and possible problems can be solved cost-effectively without interrupting the development process. An unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV) model is taken as a plant model due to its importance in current and future military operations. Among several autopilot modes, the altitude hold mod...
Steering self-organized robot flocks through externally guided individuals Celikkanat, Hande; Şahin, Erol (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2010-09-01) In this paper, we study how a self-organized mobile robot flock can be steered toward a desired direction through externally guiding some of its members. Specifically, we propose a behavior by extending a previously developed flocking behavior to steer self-organized flocks in both physical and simulated mobile robots. We quantitatively measure the performance of the proposed behavior under different parameter settings using three metrics, namely, (1) the mutual information metric, adopted from Information ...
Learning Context on a Humanoid Robot using Incremental Latent Dirichlet Allocation Çelikkanat, Hande; Orhan, Guner; Pugeault, Nicolas; Guerin, Frank; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2016-03-01) In this paper, we formalize and model context in terms of a set of concepts grounded in the sensorimotor interactions of a robot. The concepts are modeled as a web using Markov Random Field (MRF), inspired from the concept web hypothesis for representing concepts in humans. On this concept web, we treat context as a latent variable of Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA), which is a widely-used method in computational linguistics for modeling topics in texts. We extend the standard LDA method in order to make ...
Multi-agent system-based fuzzy controller design with genetic tuning for a mobile manipulator robot in the hand over task Erden, MS; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Halıcı, Uğur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 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 ...
