In this paper, the uncalibrated image-based trajectory tracking control problem of wheeled mobile robots will be studied. The motion of the wheeled mobile robot can be observed using an uncalibrated fixed camera on the ceiling. Different from traditional vision-based control strategies of wheeled mobile robots in the fixed camera configuration, the camera image plane is not required to be parallel...
The problem of door opening is very fundamental for mobile manipulators operating in domestic environments. In order to successfully achieve the door opening task with wheeled mobile redundant manipulators, a manipulability improving scheme is proposed and investigated in this paper. The scheme treats the wheelchair and the manipulator as a whole system and can improve the manipulator's manipulability...
This paper proposes a time and jerk optimal trajectory planning method to find an efficient and sufficiently smooth trajectory. The objective function of the proposed method consists of two parts: the execution time and the smoothness of the trajectory in the joint space. The latter part enables one to get a smoother trajectory and reduce the tracking error. Moreover, the kinematic constraints of...
This paper presents a new adaptive controller for visual tracking control of a robot manipulator in 3D general motion with a fixed camera whose intrinsic and extrinsic parameters are uncalibrated. In addition to camera parameters, the feature positions in 3D space are also assumed unknown. Based on the fact that the unknown parameters appears linearly in the closed-loop dynamics of the system if the...
Brain Machine Interfaces (BMI) aim at building a direct communication link between the neural system and external devices. The decoding of neuronal signals is one of the important steps in BMI systems. Existing decoding methods commonly fall into two categories, i.e., linear methods and nonlinear methods. This paper compares the performance between the two kinds of methods in the decoding of motor...
A navigation system based on hybrid map for intelligent wheelchair is presented. The system is consisted of hybrid map building, localization, path planning and trajectory following. The hybrid map includes a series of small probabilistic grid maps (PGM) and a global topological map (GTM). They are built simultaneously and easily using the human-guided method. Then on the hybrid map, the localization...
Shared control is a common used method for human and wheelchair cooperation. However, most of the previous shared control methods didn't think much of the effect caused by the difference in the user's control ability. The control weight of a user in these methods is irrelevant to the user's capability or the driving conditions. In this paper, a dynamic shared control method is proposed to adapt wheelchair's...
