Control and Robotics Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A control and robotics lab that aims to actually control objects that are hard to control.
AboutAbout the lab
Controlling what is hard to control.
The Control and Robotics Lab studies the control of robots and other systems, with the mission of actually demonstrating control of objects that are hard to control.
Many of the objects it deals with involve nonlinearity, which is also found in robot systems.
The lab works in cooperation with the Intelligent Robot Laboratory (Roboken).
The lab was established in April 2015.
Key terms
- Nonlinearity
- A property whereby behavior is not proportional to the magnitude of the state or input. Many objects that are hard to control have this property.
- Hyper-redundant system
- A mechanism with far more degrees of freedom than are needed for the intended motion. A snake-like body is a typical example.
- Convolutional neural network (CNN)
- A type of neural network that performs recognition by repeatedly applying processing that extracts features from images.
ResearchResearch themes
Aiming to actually control objects that are hard to control, the lab works on control systems, hyper-redundant systems, and autonomous mobile robots, along with the technologies that support them. Specific topics include parallelized nonlinear model predictive control, pneumatically driven snake-like actuators, and self-localization using panoramic images and convolutional neural networks (CNNs).
