Robotics research and advanced applications; Proceedings of the Winter Annual Meeting, Phoenix, AZ, November 14-19, 1982
Abstract
Topics examined include the design and evaluation of a hydraulic actuation system for a legged rough-terrain vehicle, the optimization of manipulator workspace, the positioning accuracy of manipulators with encoder equipped joints, an analysis of a linear self-commutating actuator for robotic systems, and the control of a direct-drive arm. Also discussed are the implementation of a preview controller for robotic manipulators, the active control of robot structure deflections, the Cartesian impedance control of a nonlinear manipulator, adaptable manipulation without sensors, a high resolution imaging tough sensor, and pulsed sonic coordinate digitization using point-effect microphones. In addition, other topics considered include the accuracy of invariant moment analysis in computer vision systems, interactive graphical programming and control of robotic systems, a comparison of computer graphics robot simulation programs, the self-learning of sensor-motor control sequences, a supervisory collision-avoidance system for robot controllers, and sensors for seam characterization in robotic arc welding.
