In this paper, in order to make a desired velocity and moving pattern of soccer robot, we Propose the speed control function with several parameters which represent the reflection ratio of distance and angle error etc. These parameter influence on the determining the speed and moving path of soccer robot. And we propose the searching method for these parameters by using genetic algorithms. As a result of finding the optimal parameter, we can move the robot more quickly in accordance with objective under variable environment.

In this paper, artificial potential field(APF) is applied to formation control for the leader-following swarm robot. Furthermore, APF is constructed by applying the electrical field model. Moreover, to model the obstacle effectively, each obstacle has different form due to the electrical field equation. The proposed method is formed as two sub-objective: path planning for the leader-robot and following-robots following the leader-robot. Finally, simulation example is given to prove the validity of proposed method.

In this paper we deal with visual servoing that can control a robot arm with a camera using information of images only, without estimating 3D position and rotation of the robot arm. Here it is assumed that the robot arm is calibrated and the camera is uncalibrated. Here we consider two coordinate systems, the world coordinate system and the camera coordinate one and we use a pinhole camera model as the camera one. First of all, the essential notion can be show, that is, epipolar geometry, epipole, epipolar equation, and epipolar constrain. And these plays an important role in designing visual servoing in the later chapters. Statement of the problem is giver. Provided two a priori...

A tool which can be used for the analysis of a robot soccer game is presented. The tool enables automatic filtering and selection of game sequences which are suitable for the analysis of the game. Fuzzy logic is used since the data gathered by a camera is highly noisy. The data used in the paper was recorded during the game Germany - Slovenia in Hagen, on November 11, 2001. The dynamic parameters of our robots are estimated using the least squares technique. Meandering parameters are estimated and an attempt is made to identify the strategy of the opposing team with the method of introspection.

A biped robot should be designed to be an effective mechanical structure and have smaller hardware system if it is to be a stand-alone structure. This paper shows the design methodology of a biped robot controller using FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array). A hardware system consists of DSP(Digital Signal Processor) as the main CPU, and FPGA as the motor controller. By using FPGA, more flexible hardware system has been achieved, and more compact and simple controller has been designed.

The position control accuracy of a robot arm is significantly deteriorated when a long slender arm robot is operated at a high speed. In this case, the robot arm needs to be modeled as a flexible structure, not a rigid one, and its control system needs to be designed with its elastic modes taken into account. In this paper, the vibration control scheme of a one-link flexible manipulator using adaptive input shaper in conjunction with PID controller is presented. The robot consists of a flexible arm manufactured with a thin aluminium plate, an AC servo motor with a harmonic drive for speed reduction, an optical encoder and an accelerometer. On-line identification of the vibration mode is done using the pruned decimation-in-time FFT algorithm to estimate the parameter of the input shaper. Experimental results of the flexible manipulator with a PID controller and input shaper are provided to show the effectiveness of the advocated controllers.

In this paper, the vibration of a single-wheel mobile robot is minimized by designing a filter. An AHRS (Attitude and heading reference system) sensor is used for measuring the state of the robot. The measured signals are analyzed using the FFT method to investigate the fundamental vibrational frequency with respect to the flywheel's speed of the gimbal system. The IIR notch filter is then designed to suppress the vibration at the identified frequency. After simulating the performance of the designated filter using the measured sensor data through extensive experiments, the filter is actually implemented in a single-wheel mobile robot, GYROBO. Finally, the performance of the designed filter is confirmed by performing the balancing control task of the GYROBO system.

This paper proposes a new integrated navigation system for a mobile robot in indoor environments. This system consists of five frameworks which are classified by function. This architecture can make the navigation system scalable and flexible. The robot can recover from exceptional situations, such as environmental changes, failure of entering the narrow path, and path occupation by moving objects, using the exception recovery framework. The environmental change can be dealt with using the probabilistic approach, and the problems with the narrow path and path occupation are solved using the ray casting algorithm and the Bayesian update rule. The proposed navigation system was successfully applied to several robots and operated in various environments. Experimental results showed good performance in that the exception recovery framework significantly increased the success rate of navigation. The system architecture proposed in this paper can reduce the time for developing robot applications through its reusability and changeability.

This paper presents a new obstacle-avoidance method for mobile robots. This approach, called the FEB (Fast Elastic Band) method, has been developed and successfully tested on the experimental mobile robot PHOPE-1S. The FEB method eliminates the shortcomings of the elastic band method previously introduced, yet retains all the advantages of its predecessor. The FEB algorithm is computationally efficient, and it allows continuous and fast motion of the mobile robot without stopping for obstacles. The FEB-controlled mobile robot traverses very densely cluttered obstacle courses and is able to pass through narrow openings or narrow corridors without oscillations. The results of the simulation and experiment have verified the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper, it is presented a new scheme of adaptive-neuro control system to implement real-time control of robot manipulator. Unlike the well-established theory fir the adaptive control of linear systems, there exists relatively little general theory fir the adaptive control of nonlinear systems. Adaptive control technique is essential fir providing a stable and robust performance fir application of robot control. The proposed neuro control algorithm is one of teaming a model based error back-propagation scheme using Lyapunov stability analysis method. Through simulation, the proposed adaptive-neuro control scheme is proved to be a efficient control technique f3r real-time control of robot system using DSPs.
