The potential diagnostic applications of magnet-actuated capsules have been greatly increased in recent years. For most of these potential applications, accurate position control of the capsule have been highly demanding. However, the friction between the robot and the environment as well as the drag force from the tether play a significant role during the motion control of the capsule. Moreover, these forces especially the friction force are typically hard to model beforehand. In this paper, we first designed a magnet-actuated tethered capsule robot, where the driving magnet is mounted on the end of a robotic arm. Then, we proposed a learning-based approach to model the friction force between the capsule and the environment, with the goal of increasing the control accuracy of the whole system. Finally, several real robot experiments are demonstrated to showcase the effectiveness of our proposed approach.

With the potential applications of capsule robots in medical endoscopy, accurate dynamic control of the capsule robot is becoming more and more important. In the scale of a capsule robot, the friction between capsule and the environment plays an esse ntial role in the dynamic model, which is usually difficult to model beforehand. In the paper, a tethered capsule robot system driven by a robot manipulator is built, where a strong magnetic Halbach array is mounted on the robots end-effector to adjust the state of the capsule. To increase the control accuracy, the friction between capsule and the environment is learned with demonstrated trajectories. With the learned friction model, experimental results demonstrate an improvement of 5.6% in terms of tracking error.
This paper tackles a friction compensation problem without using a friction model. The unique feature of the proposed friction observer is that the nominal motor-side signal is fed back into the controller instead of the measured signal. By doing so, asymptotic stability and passivity of the controller are maintained. Another advantage of the proposed observer is that it provides a clear understanding for the stiction compensation which is hard to be captured in model-free approaches. This allows to design observers that do not overcompensate for the stiction. The proposed scheme is validated through simulations and experiments.
Dynamic modeling has been capturing attention for its fundamentality in precise locomotion analyses and control of underwater robots. However, the existing researches have mainly focused on investigating two-dimensional motion of underwater robots, a nd little attention has been paid to three-dimensional dynamic modeling, which is just what we focus on. In this article, a three-dimensional dynamic model of an active-tail-actuated robotic fish with a barycentre regulating mechanism is built by combining Newtons second law for linear motion and Eulers equation for angular motion. The model parameters are determined by three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) software SolidWorks, HyperFlow-based computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation, and grey-box model estimation method. Both kinematic experiments with a prototype and numerical simulations are applied to validate the accuracy of the dynamic model mutually. Based on the dynamic model, multiple three-dimensional motions, including rectilinear motion, turning motion, gliding motion, and spiral motion, are analyzed. The experimental and simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model in evaluating the trajectory, attitude, and motion parameters, including the velocity, turning radius, angular velocity, etc., of the robotic fish.
Model Predictive Control (MPC) has shown the great performance of target optimization and constraint satisfaction. However, the heavy computation of the Optimal Control Problem (OCP) at each triggering instant brings the serious delay from state samp ling to the control signals, which limits the applications of MPC in resource-limited robot manipulator systems over complicated tasks. In this paper, we propose a novel robust tube-based smooth-MPC strategy for nonlinear robot manipulator planning systems with disturbances and constraints. Based on piecewise linearization and state prediction, our control strategy improves the smoothness and optimizes the delay of the control process. By deducing the deviation of the real system states and the nominal system states, we can predict the next real state set at the current instant. And by using this state set as the initial condition, we can solve the next OCP ahead and store the optimal controls based on the nominal system states, which eliminates the delay. Furthermore, we linearize the nonlinear system with a given upper bound of error, reducing the complexity of the OCP and improving the response speed. Based on the theoretical framework of tube MPC, we prove that the control strategy is recursively feasible and closed-loop stable with the constraints and disturbances. Numerical simulations have verified the efficacy of the designed approach compared with the conventional MPC.
This paper investigates the online motion coordination problem for a group of mobile robots moving in a shared workspace, each of which is assigned a linear temporal logic specification. Based on the realistic assumptions that each robot is subject t o both state and input constraints and can have only local view and local information, a fully distributed multi-robot motion coordination strategy is proposed. For each robot, the motion coordination strategy consists of three layers. An offline layer pre-computes the braking area for each region in the workspace, the controlled transition system, and a so-called potential function. An initialization layer outputs an initially safely satisfying trajectory. An online coordination layer resolves conflicts when one occurs. The online coordination layer is further decomposed into three steps. Firstly, a conflict detection algorithm is implemented, which detects conflicts with neighboring robots. Whenever conflicts are detected, a rule is designed to assign dynamically a planning order to each pair of neighboring robots. Finally, a sampling-based algorithm is designed to generate local collision-free trajectories for the robot which at the same time guarantees the feasibility of the specification. Safety is proven to be guaranteed for all robots at any time. The effectiveness and the computational tractability of the resulting solution is verified numerically by two case studies.
