This work presents a control strategy for coordination of multiple robots based on artificial vision to measure the relative posture between them, in order to reach and maintain a specified formation. Given a leader robot that moves about an unknown trajectory with unknown velocity, a controller is designed to maintain the robots following the leader at a certain distance behind, by using visual information about the position of the leader robot. The control system is proved to be asymptotically stable at the equilibrium point, which corresponds to the accomplishment of the navigation objective. Experimental results with two robots, a leader and a follower, are included to show the performance of the vision-based control system.

A type of hybrid electromagnetic suspension is proposed in this study to improve the reliability of a conventional active electromagnetic suspension. A motor with the proposed hybrid electromagnetic suspension linear can regenerate the vibration energy; the coordination relationship between the energy regeneration and the vibration isolation of the hybrid electromagnetic suspension is studied. A dynamic model is established, and a modified skyhook control strategy is designed. A passive energy regeneration control system and an active control system are developed. The effect of the damping on the energy regeneration and the vibration isolation is discussed. The best damping, which can consider the energy regeneration and the vibration isolation simultaneously, is determined. Comparative simulations of a passive suspension, a hybrid electromagnetic suspension and an active electromagnetic suspension are carried out, and the results verify the effectiveness of the control strategy. Finally, an energy regeneration experiment and an isolation comparative experiment of a quarter-suspension are conducted. The findings show that the hybrid electromagnetic suspension with a modified skyhook control strategy can efficiently facilitate coordination between the energy regeneration and the vibration isolation.

A challenging problem faced by wheeled mobile robots (WMRs) such as planetary rovers traversing loose sloped terrain is the inevitable longitudinal slip suffered by the wheels, which often leads to their deviation from the predetermined trajectory, reduced drive efficiency, and possible failures. This study investigates this problem using terramechanics analysis of the wheel-soil interaction. First, a slope-based wheel-soil interaction terramechanics model is built, and an online slip coordinated algorithm is designed based on the goal of optimal drive efficiency. An equation of state is established using the coordinated slip as the desired input and the actual slip as a state variable. To improve the robustness and adaptability of the control system, an adaptive neural network is designed. Analytical results and those of a simulation using Vortex demonstrate the significantly improved mobile performance of the WMR using the proposed control system.

As the computation delays between the reference torques and the load torques, the speed and position synchronous errors of the multimotor drive system employed traditional electronic line shafting (ELS) control would become significant during the process of large load disturbances. Therefore, an improved ELS control strategy is proposed in this paper. In this strategy, the load torques observed by the sliding model observers are fed back to the virtual motor directly, so as to shorten the adjusting time and improve the antidisturbance performance of entire control system. Meanwhile, to reduce the chattering of the sliding mode observer, a novel exponential reaching law is designed in this paper. The experimental results show that the improved ELS control strategy could reduce the speed and position synchronous errors effectively.

This paper deals with the challenging problem of navigation in formation of mobiles robots fleet. For that purpose, a secure approach is used based on visual servoing to control velocities (linear and angular) of the multiple robots. To construct our system, we develop the interaction matrix which combines the moments in the image with robots velocities and we estimate the depth between each robot and the targeted object. This is done without any communication between the robots which eliminate the problem of the influence of each robot errors on the whole. For a successful visual servoing, we propose a powerful mechanism to execute safely the robots navigation, exploiting a robot accident reporting system using raspberry Pi3. In addition, in case of problem, a robot accident detection reporting system testbed is used to send an accident notification, in the form of a specifical message. Experimental results are presented using nonholonomic mobiles robots with on-board real time cameras, to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Background: All the time, the safety of the vehicle has been valued by all the world's parties, whether it is now or in the future, the automobile safety issue is the hotspot and focus of the research by experts and scholars. The continuous increase of car ownership brings convenience to people's life and also poses a threat to people's life and property security. Vehicle active safety system is the hotspot of current research and development, which plays an important role in automobile safety. Firstly, the vehicle active safety technology and its development situation was introduced, then Ref. review was carried out about Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD/CBC), Brake Assist System (BAS/EBA/BA), Traction Control System (TCS/ASR), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC/ESP/DSC), etc. At present, there are many patents on the control of each subsystem, but few patents on the integrated control for the active safety of vehicles. Objective: The main contents of this paper are as follows: the control strategies and methods of different active safety systems, how to improve the stability of vehicle control and ensure the effectiveness of active safety system control. It provides a reference for the development of active safety control technology and patent. Methods: Through the analysis of different control algorithms and control strategies of Anti-lock and braking force distribution systems, it is pointed out that the switching of EBD/ABS coordinated control strategy according to slip rate can make full use of slip rate and road adhesion coefficient to improve the safety of the system. For the BAS, the slip problem is solved through the combination of Mechanical Assistant Braking System (MABS) and Electronic Braking Assistant (EBA) system by measuring the distance of the vehicle ahead and the speed of the vehicle ahead. The optimal slip rate control is realized by different control algorithms and control strategies of traction control system. It is pointed out that the adaptive fuzzy neural controller should be used to control the yaw angular velocity and centroid side angle of Electronic Stability Program (ESP), which has a good effect on maintaining vehicle stability. A sliding mode variable structure controller combined with constant speed control and approach law control is used to control the yaw moment. Results: Through the coordinated control strategy of EBD/ABS, the slip rate and road adhesion coefficient were fully utilized by switching according to slip rate. The problem of sliding slope is solved by MABS with EBA system. The ESP should use adaptive fuzzy neural controller to control the yaw angular velocity and centroid side angle, and adopt the joint sliding mode variable structure controller which combines the ABS control and the yaw moment control. Through the optimal control theory, the coordinated control of each subsystem can significantly improve the driving stability, riding comfort, fuel economy and so on. Conclusion: This adopt different control strategy and control algorithm for different active safety control system and make full use of tire-road friction coefficient and slip ratio optimal slip ratio, then it realized accurate control of control variables such as yawing angular velocity, centroid side-slip angle, yawing moment and finally ensure the vehicle braking stability, robustness of the controller and the lateral stability of vehicle.
