In recent years, the application of hedge algebras in the field of control has been studied. The results show that this approach has many advantages. In additions, industrial robots are being well-developed and extensively used, especially in the industrial revolution 4.0. Accurate control of industrial robots is a class of problems that many scientists are interested in. In this paper, we design a controller based on hedge algebra for serial robots. The control rule is given by linguistic rule base system. The goal is to accurately control the moving robot arm which adheres given trajectories. Optimization of fuzzy parameters for the controller is done by genetic algorithms. The system has been simulated on the Matlab-Simulink software. The simulation results show that the orbital deviation is very small. Moreover, the controller worked well with correct control quality. This result once presents the simplicity and efficiency of the hedge algebras approach to control.

Dynamics And Control

Abstract One of the classic systems in dynamics and control is the inverted pendulum, which is known as one of the topics in control engineering due to its properties such as nonlinearity and inherent instability. Different approaches are available to facilitate and automate the design of fuzzy control rules and their associated membership functions. Recently, different approaches have been developed to find the optimal fuzzy rule base system using genetic algorithm. The purpose of the proposed method is to set fuzzy rules and their membership function and the length of the learning process based on the use of a genetic algorithm. The results of the proposed method show that applying the integration of a genetic algorithm along with Mamdani fuzzy system can provide a suitable fuzzy controller to solve the problem of inverse pendulum control. The proposed method shows higher equilibrium speed and equilibrium quality compared to static fuzzy controllers without optimization. Using a fuzzy system in a dynamic inverted pendulum environment has better results compared to definite systems, and in addition, the optimization of the control parameters increases the quality of this model even beyond the simple case.

Speed And Accuracy

High performance requirements in robotics have led to the consideration of structural flexibilty in robot arms. This paper employs an assumed modes method to model the flexible motion of the last link of a spherical coordinate robot arm. The model, which includes the non backdrivability of the leadscrews, is used to investigate relationships between the arm structural flexibility and a linear controller for the rigid body motion. This simple controller is used to simulate the controllers currently used in industrial robots. The simulation results illustrate the differences between leadscrew driven and unconstrained axes of the robot; they indicate the trade-off between speed and accuracy; and show potential instability mechanisms due to the interaction between the controller and the robot structural flexibility.

Summary This paper proposes an intelligent cooperative collision avoidance approach combining the enhanced potential field (EPF) with a fuzzy inference system (FIS) to resolve local minima and goal non-reachable with obstacles nearby issues and provide a near-optimal collision-free trajectory. A genetic algorithm is utilized to optimize parameters of membership function and rule base of the FISs. This work uses a single scenario containing all issues and interactions among unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for training. For validating the performance, two scenarios containing obstacles with different shapes and several UAVs in small airspace are considered. Multiple simulation results show that the proposed approach outperforms the conventional EPF approach statistically.

Abstract This article proposes a method for analyzing the gravity balancing reliability of spring-articulated serial robots with uncertainties. Gravity balancing reliability is defined as the probability that the torque reduction ratio (the ratio of the balanced torque to the unbalanced torque) is less than a specified threshold. The reliability analysis is performed by exploiting a Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) with consideration of the uncertainties in the link dimensions, masses, and compliance parameters. The gravity balancing begins with a simulation-based analysis of the gravitational torques of a typical serial robot. Based on the simulation results, a gravity balancing design for the robot using mechanical springs is realized. A reliability-based design optimization (RBDO) method is also developed to seek a reliable and robust design for maximized balancing performance under a prescribed uncertainty level. The RBDO is formulated with consideration of a probabilistic reliability constraint and solved by using a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the gravity balancing performance and reliability of a robot with uncertainties. A sensitivity analysis of the balancing design is also performed. Lastly, the effectiveness of the RBDO method is demonstrated through a case study in which the balancing performance and reliability of a robot with uncertainties are improved with the proposed method.

Build Time

Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies have been widely used to fabricate 3D objects quickly and cost-effectively. However, building parts consisting of complex geometries with multiple curvatures can be a challenging process for the traditional AM system whose capability is restricted to planar-layered printing. Using 6-DOF industrial robots for AM overcomes this limitation by allowing materials to deposit on non-planar surfaces with desired tool orientation. In this paper, we present collision-free trajectory planning for printing using non-planar deposition. Trajectory parameters subject to surface curvature are properly controlled to avoid any collision with printing surface. We have implemented our approach by using a 6-DOF robot arm. The complex 3D structures with various curvatures were successfully fabricated, while avoiding any failures in joint movement, holding comparable build time and completing with a satisfactory surface finish.
