To speed up the convergence and avoid local minimum of the neural network, this paper uses a genetic algorithm to find the optimal initial weights and thresholds and then uses the BP Mgorithm to train the neural network according to the data given. The proposed method can effectively combine the good global searching ability of genetic algorithms with the accurate local searching feature of BP neural network. The Simulink model for PUMA560 robot visual servo system based on the improved BP neural network is built with the Robotics Toolbox of Matlab. The simulation results indicate that the proposed method can accelerate convergence of the image errors and provide a simple and effective way of robot control.展开更多

It is still a difficult task to track high speed target with current visual servo system. The improvement of visual servoing scheme is strongly required. A position-based visual servo parallel system is presented for tracking target with high speed. A local Frenet frame is assigned to the sampling point of spatial trajectory. Position estimation is formed by the differential features of intrinsic geometry, and orientation estimation is formed by homogenous transformation. The time spent for searching and processing can be greatly reduced by shifting the window according to features location prediction. The simulation results have demonstrated the ability of the system to track spatial moving object.展开更多

We propose a circular soft robot integrating the control system, actuating it with several shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators. Our research methodology involved connecting the DC voltage supply and L298N module to provide uninterrupted power to the actuator and thence control the actuator via Arduino Uno MCU and TOF camera. We designed the controller to simultaneously complete the positioning and manipulation tasks. A novel method utilizing visual servo and closed-loop control algorithm was proposed and integrated into the controller. This method involves the implementation of multi-gait locomotion using SMA actuators. Additionally, the development of closed-loop dynamic controllers for a continuous soft robot is also evaluated. The proposed control model is designed and simulated on the MATLAB tool. To verify the efficiency of the proposed forward-feedback controller, simulations and experiments were conducted in the current study. A new control method using PID control based on the Kalman filtering algorithm and visual servo for the SMA actuator designed in this research is introduced. We conclude that applying spike excitation voltage would benefit the actuating performance. Overall, the experimental results demonstrated a promising future for the purposed control method.展开更多
