Nonlinear visual mapping model for 3-D visual tracking with uncalibrated eye-in-hand robotic system.

A new control scheme for uncalibrated robotic visual tracking problem is proposed that compromises the computational expenses of overall system with offline modeling and online control. A nonlinear visual mapping model for the uncalibrated hand-eye coordination is first proposed with an artificial neural network implementation. An online visual tracking controller is then developed together with a real-time motion planner. To improve the system performance, the control scheme is also integrated with a feedforward controller to compensate unknown object motions. Extensive simulations and experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

Incremental learning with balanced update on receptive fields for multi-sensor data fusion.

This paper addresses multi-sensor data fusion with incremental learning ability. A new cost function is proposed for the receptive field weighted regression (RFWR) algorithm based on the idea of back propagation (BP), so that the computation efficiency and the learning strategy of the modified RFWR are much more applicable for multi-sensor data fusion problem. Thus a new fusion structure and algorithm with incremental learning ability is constructed by adopting the modified RFWR algorithm together with the weighted average algorithm. Experiments of a two-camera unified positioning system are implemented successfully to test the proposed computation structure and algorithms.

A new two-degree-of-freedom level control scheme.

In this paper, a two-degree-of-freedom level control scheme for delay free processes is analyzed. The nominal performance and robustness are examined. And sufficient and necessary conditions for robust stability are derived. An alternative level control scheme is developed for processes with dead time and suboptimal controllers that can produce smooth response are derived analytically based on the internal model control. The scheme has an important feature in that it is simple and transparent in design and in the corporation of performance and robust stability issues. Numerical examples are provided to compare the proposed scheme with those developed.

Design PID controllers for desired time-domain or frequency-domain response.

Practical requirements on the design of control systems, especially process control systems, are usually specified in terms of time-domain response, such as overshoot and rise time, or frequency-domain response, such as resonance peak and stability margin. Although numerous methods have been developed for the design of the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller, little work has been done in relation to the quantitative time-domain and frequency-domain responses. In this paper, we study the following problem: Given a nominal stable process with time delay, we design a suboptimal PID controller to achieve the required time-domain response or frequency-domain response for the nominal system or the uncertain system. An H(infinity) PID controller is developed based on optimal control theory and the parameters are derived analytically. Its properties are investigated and compared with that of two developed suboptimal controllers: an H2 PID controller and a Maclaurin PID controller. It is shown that all three controllers can provide the quantitative time-domain and frequency-domain responses.
