In this paper, we develop a graph theoretic model for a robot colony that morphs itself according to changing tasks for search and rescue operations. The main goal of the proposed control strategy is to reconfigure the robot colony autonomously and seamlessly in order to achieve the given task. We introduce a novel highly decentralized coordination control algorithm that can extract enough information about what each robot is doing and can estimate their next action in the task space. This action selection is done with the help of local knowledge, based on a decentralized decision mechanism. Moreover we equip the method with a morphing capability to sudden changes of task characteristics and of task execution areas. To show the ability of the developed algorithm we base our disaster scenario on a forest fire where the fire can spread unexpectedly and the burning centers can change dynamically in time over space. The proposed method is tested in a simulation environment and the validity of the developed coordination control has been demonstrated.

Locomotion Gait Optimization For Modular Robots; Coevolving Morphology and Control Pouya, Soha; Aydın Göl, Ebru; Moeckel, Rico; Ijspeert, Auke Jan (2011-01-01) This study aims at providing a control-learning framework capable of generating optimal locomotion patterns for the modular robots. The key ideas are firstly to provide a generic control structure that can be well-adapted for the different morphologies and secondly to exploit and coevolve both morphology and control aspects. A generic framework combining robot morphology, control and environment and on the top of them optimization and evolutionary algorithms are presented. The details of the components and ...
Automated classification of remote sensing images using multileveled MobileNetV2 and DWT techniques Karadal, Can Haktan; Kaya, Muhammed Çağrı; Tuncer, Turker; Dogan, Sengul; Acharya, U. Rajendra (2021-12-15) Automated classification of remote sensing images is one of the complex issues in robotics and machine learning fields. Many models have been proposed for remote sensing image classification (RSIC) to obtain high classification performance. The objective of this study are twofold. First, to create a new space object image collection as such a dataset is not currently available. Second, propose a novel RSIC model to yield highest classification performance using our newly created dataset. Our presented autom...
Stochastic analysis and adaptive control studies in legged systems Er, Güner Dilşad; Ankaralı, Mustafa Mert; Saranlı, Uluç; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-6-7) Underactuated legged robots depict highly nonlinear and complex dynamical behaviors that create significant challenges in accurately modeling system dynamics using both first principles and system identification approaches. Hence, the design of stabilizing controllers becomes more challenging due to inaccurate modeling. Suppose physical parameters on mathematical models have miscalibrations due to uncertainty in identifying and modeling processes. In that case, designed controllers could perform poorly or e...
Interacting fuzzy multimodel intelligent tracking system for swift target manoeuvres Gokkus, L; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Tekinalp, Ozan (1997-09-11) This paper focuses on the generation of an intelligent tracker module equipped with a wavelet based neural network that learns predictions from past experience. The perception of actual tar et manoeuvre and prediction of its future states are achieved in this work by "projecting" actual observations into decision spaces of local fuzzy predictions based on independent prototypical trajectory types: linear, parabolic and square root type trajectory. Decentralized tracking decisions are thus generated which ar...
Robust Formation Coordination of Robot Swarms with Nonlinear Dynamics and Unknown Disturbances: Design and Experiments Hu, Junyan; Turgut, Ali Emre; Lennox, Barry; Arvin, Farshad (2021-01-01) Coordination of robot swarms has received significant research interest over the last decade due to its wide real-world applications including precision agriculture, target surveillance, planetary exploration, etc. Many of these practical activities can be formulated as a formation tracking problem. This brief aims to design a robust control strategy for networked robot swarms subjected to nonlinear dynamics and unknown disturbances. Firstly, a robust adaptive formation coordination protocol is proposed for...
