This paper presents a collision avoidance algorithm for stabilized gun turrets and its real-time implementation. With the help of new collision avoidance algorithm, all types of turrets can be driven more efficiently and safely according to the specified speed, acceleration and jerk limits. Even in situations such as avoiding obstacles, deceleration/acceleration, if the user issues new commands which does not cause a collision, the algorithm starts to apply the new commands providing flexibility to the user. Since all possible worst scenarios are examined one by one, it is guaranteed that the algorithm provides collision free motion in both simulations and real-time tests. A configuration space where worst scenarios can occur is created for the performance measurement of the algorithm, and the same space is used in all tests. By giving different speed commands in the specified configuration space, the performance of the algorithm at different speeds is observed on the stabilized gun turret. For the measurement of the performance under the noisy speed commands, a custom noisy speed command of about 1000s is created and both simulation and real-time tests are performed. As a result of these tests, it is shown that there is no collision. Finally, by adding cascade position control loop, the departure from the starting point to the desired target point is achieved without any collision. The most important feature that distinguishes this algorithm from others is both speed and position can be controlled and during transition phase, the target point can be changed instantly. In addition, no target position is required for the system to move collision-free, only axis speed commands are sufficient. Since the algorithm does not intervene in the speed and torque loops in contrast to potential field-based methods, it can be added to ready-to-use systems by manipulating only the speed references.

Sensor Fusion of a Camera and 2D LIDAR for Lane Detection Schmidt, Klaus Verner (null; 2019-04-26) This paper presents a novel lane detection algorithm based on fusion of camera and 2D LIDAR data. On the one hand, objects on the road are detected via 2D LIDAR. On the other hand, binary bird’s eye view (BEV) images are acquired from the camera data and the locations of objects detected by LIDAR are estimated on the BEV image. In order to remove the noise generated by objects on the BEV, a modified BEV image is obtained, where pixels occluded by the detected objects are turned into background pixels. Then,...
Implementation of Robot Formation Control and Navigation Using Real Time Panel Method Merheb, Abdel Razzak; Atas, Yunus; Gazi, Veysel; Sezer Uzol, Nilay (null; 2010-10-22)
Experimental Study Of Robot Formation Control And Navigation Using Potential Functions And Panel Method Merheb, Abdel Razzak; Atas, Yunus; Gazi, Veysel; Sezer Uzol, Nilay (2010-06-09) In this paper an implementation of a collision free navigation algorithm for robot swarm based on the panel method is discussed. The well known panel method is used to solve the governing equations for inviscid incompressible potential flow around rigid objects with tangency boundary conditions, providing the robots with safe trajectories to the target. In addition, artificial potential functions are used to force the swarm to achieve a predefined geometrical shape. Experimental results are obtained using e...
Strongly Unpredictable Oscillations of Hopfield-Type Neural Networks Akhmet, Marat; Nugayeva, Zakhira (2020-10-01) In this paper, unpredictable oscillations in Hopfield-type neural networks is under investigation. The motion strongly relates to Poincare chaos. Thus, the importance of the dynamics is indisputable for those problems of artificial intelligence, brain activity and robotics, which rely on chaos. Sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of exponentially stable unpredictable solutions are determined. The oscillations continue the line of periodic and almost periodic motions, which already are ver...
Domain-Structured Chaos in a Hopfield Neural Network Akhmet, Marat (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2019-12-30) In this paper, we provide a new method for constructing chaotic Hopfield neural networks. Our approach is based on structuring the domain to form a special set through the discrete evolution of the network state variables. In the chaotic regime, the formed set is invariant under the system governing the dynamics of the neural network. The approach can be viewed as an extension of the unimodality technique for one-dimensional map, thereby generating chaos from higher-dimensional systems. We show that the dis...
