A real valued co-evolutionary algorithm is developed to coordinate the movement of multiple robots in 2D world, avoiding C-space or grid net searching. The collision avoidance is achieved by cooperatively co-evolving segments of paths and the time interval to pass them. Methods for constraint handling, which are developed for evolutionary algorithm, make the path planning easier. The effectiveness of the algorithm is demonstrated on a number of 2Dpath planning problems.展开更多

Based on the modeling method, the "AUV-XX" simulation platform was established to carry out fundamental tests on its motion characteristics, stability, and controllability. A motion control strategy consisting of both position and speed control in a horizontal plane was designed for different task assignments of underwater vehicles. Combined control of heave and pitch was adopted to compensate for the reduction of vertical tunnel thrusters when the vehicle is moving at a high speed. An improved S-surface controller based on the capacitor plate model was developed with flexible gain selections made possible by different forms of restricting the error and changing the rate of the error. Simulation results show that the derived general mathematical model together with simulation platform can provide a test bed for fundamental tests of motion control. Additionally, the capacitor plate model S-surface control shows a good performance in guiding the vehicle to achieve the desired position and speed with sufficient accuracy.展开更多

The proposed washout algorithm combines fuzzy logic control with the vestibular system to design the tilt coordination fuzzy adaptive filter, in order to minimize the vestibular sensory error below the human perception threshold. Owing to tilt coordination angular velocity limiter, the loss of low-pass acceleration must be compensated by the acceleration transform model. The translational channel decreases the possibility of the workspace beyond limitation and expands the scope of motion platform simulating input acceleration by using third-order filter. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively overcome the phase retardation of classical washout algorithm, and then prevent the produce of false cues, decrease the displacement of motion platform simultaneously; in addition, white Gaussian noise simulates large variations in acceleration. The proposed washout algorithm can have maximal extreme value of acceleration and accurate simulating performance in general. It also proves that the proposed washout algorithm has a strong adaptability and reliability, which can effectively improve the dynamic fidelity for motion simulator.展开更多
