Visual Servo Control System of a Piezoelectric2-Degree-of-Freedom Nano-Stepping Motor.

ABSTRACT: A nano-stepping motor can translate or rotate when its piezoelectric element pair is electrically driven in-phase or anti-phase. It offers millimeter-level stroke, sub-micron-level stepping size, and sub-nanometer-level scanning resolution. This article proposes a visual servo system to control the nano-stepping motor, since its stepping size is not consistent due to changing contact friction, using a custom built microscopic instrument and image recognition software. Three kinds of trajectories-straight lines, circles, and pentagrams-are performed successfully. The smallest straightness and roundness ever tested are 0.291 µm and 2.380 µm. Experimental results show that the proposed controller can effectively compensate for the error and precisely navigate the rotor along a desired trajectory.

Autonomous Microrobotic Manipulation Using Visual Servo Control.

Project description:This describes the application of a visual servo control method to the microrobotic manipulation of polymer beads on a two-dimensional fluid interface. A microrobot, actuated through magnetic fields, is utilized to manipulate a non-magnetic polymer bead into a desired position. The controller utilizes multiple modes of robot actuation to address the different stages of the task. A filtering strategy employed in separation mode allows the robot to spiral from the manipuland in a fashion that promotes the manipulation positioning objective. Experiments demonstrate that our multiphase controller can be used to direct a microrobot to position a manipuland to within an average positional error of approximately 8 pixels (64 µm) over numerous trials.

Mix Frame Visual Servo Control Framework for Autonomous Assistive Robotic Arms.

Project description:Assistive robotic arms (ARAs) that provide care to the elderly and people with disabilities, are a significant part of Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Presently available ARAs provide non-intuitive interfaces such as joysticks for control and thus, lacks the autonomy to perform daily activities. This study proposes that, for inducing autonomous behavior in ARAs, visual sensors integration is vital, and visual servoing in the direct Cartesian control mode is the preferred method. Generally, ARAs are designed in a configuration where its end-effector's position is defined in the fixed base frame while orientation is expressed in the end-effector frame. We denoted this configuration as 'mixed frame robotic arms'. Consequently, conventional visual servo controllers which operate in a single frame of reference are incompatible with mixed frame ARAs. Therefore, we propose a mixed-frame visual servo control framework for ARAs. Moreover, we enlightened the task space kinematics of a mixed frame ARAs, which led us to the development of a novel "mixed frame Jacobian matrix". The proposed framework was validated on a mixed frame JACO-2 7 DoF ARA using an adaptive proportional derivative controller for achieving image-based visual servoing (IBVS), which showed a significant increase of 31% in the convergence rate, outperforming conventional IBVS joint controllers, especially in the outstretched arm positions and near the base frame. Our Results determine the need for the mixed frame controller for deploying visual servo control on modern ARAs, that can inherently cater to the robotic arm's joint limits, singularities, and self-collision problems.

Portable Take-Home System Enables Proportional Control and High-Resolution Data Logging With a Multi-Degree-of-Freedom Bionic Arm.

Project description:This paper describes a portable, prosthetic control system and the first at-home use of a multi-degree-of-freedom, proportionally controlled bionic arm. The system uses a modified Kalman filter to provide 6 degree-of-freedom, real-time, proportional control. We describe (a) how the system trains motor control algorithms for use with an advanced bionic arm, and (b) the system's ability to record an unprecedented and comprehensive dataset of EMG, hand positions and force sensor values. Intact participants and a transradial amputee used the system to perform activities-of-daily-living, including bi-manual tasks, in the lab and at home. This technology enables at-home dexterous bionic arm use, and provides a high-temporal resolution description of daily use-essential information to determine clinical relevance and improve future research for advanced bionic arms.

Analysis of a surface imaging system using a six degree-of-freedom couch.

Project description:PurposeTo validate surface imaging (SI)-reported offsets using a six degree-of-freedom couch and an anthropomorphic phantom for commissioning and routine quality assurance of an SI system used for stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS).MethodsAn anthropomorphic phantom with a radiopaque ball bearing (BB) placed either anterior, midline, or posterior, was tracked with SI with a typical SRS region of interest. Couch motion in all six degrees of freedom was programmed and delivered on a linac. SI system logs were synchronized with linac trajectory logs. Ten random couch positions were selected at couch 0°, 45°, 90°, 270°, 315° with megavolt (MV) images taken to account for couch walkout. The SI residual error (ε), the difference between SI reported offset and MV or trajectory log position, was calculated. Residual errors were measured with and without one SI pod blocked.ResultsThe median [range] of magnitude of translational ε was 0.13 [0.07, 0.21], 0.16 [0.11, 0.26], 0.61 [0.50, 0.68], 0.49 [0.42, 0.55], 0.55 [0.38, 0.72] mm for couch rotations of 0°, 45°, 90°, 270°, 315°, respectively, for the midline BB and no pod blocked. The range of all translational ε from all couch angles (with and without pod block) at different BB positions is [0.05, 0.96] mm. The absolute range of difference when changing BB position when no pod is blocked in median translational ε is [0.01, 0.40] mm with the maximum at BB posterior. The absolute range of difference when not changing BB positions with and without pod block in median translational ε is [0.01, 0.37] mm with the maximum at BB posterior and couch 315°.ConclusionSI system and linac trajectory log analysis can be used to assess SI system performance with automated couch motion to validate SI accuracy.

Mechanical control of the directional stepping dynamics of the kinesin motor.

Project description:Among the multiple steps constituting the kinesin mechanochemical cycle, one of the most interesting events is observed when kinesins move an 8-nm step from one microtubule (MT)-binding site to another. The stepping motion that occurs within a relatively short time scale ( approximately 100 mus) is, however, beyond the resolution of current experiments. Therefore, a basic understanding to the real-time dynamics within the 8-nm step is still lacking. For instance, the rate of power stroke (or conformational change) that leads to the undocked-to-docked transition of neck-linker is not known, and the existence of a substep during the 8-nm step still remains a controversial issue in the kinesin community. By using explicit structures of the kinesin dimer and the MT consisting of 13 protofilaments, we study the stepping dynamics with varying rates of power stroke (k(p)). We estimate that k(p)(-1) less, similar 20 micros to avoid a substep in an averaged time trace. For a slow power stroke with k(p)(-1) > 20 micros, the averaged time trace shows a substep that implies the existence of a transient intermediate, which is reminiscent of a recent single-molecule experiment at high resolution. We identify the intermediate as a conformation in which the tethered head is trapped in the sideway binding site of the neighboring protofilament. We also find a partial unfolding (cracking) of the binding motifs occurring at the transition state ensemble along the pathways before binding between the kinesin and MT.

Semi-Autonomous Electrosurgery for Tumor Resection Using a Multi-Degree of Freedom Electrosurgical Tool and Visual Servoing.

Project description:This paper specifies a surgical robot performing semi-autonomous electrosurgery for tumor resection and evaluates its accuracy using a visual servoing paradigm. We describe the design and integration of a novel, multi-degree of freedom electrosurgical tool for the smart tissue autonomous robot (STAR). Standardized line tests are executed to determine ideal cut parameters in three different types of porcine tissue. STAR is then programmed with the ideal cut setting for porcine tissue and compared against expert surgeons using open and laparoscopic techniques in a line cutting task. We conclude with a proof of concept demonstration using STAR to semi-autonomously resect pseudo-tumors in porcine tissue using visual servoing. When tasked to excise tumors with a consistent 4mm margin, STAR can semi-autonomously dissect tissue with an average margin of 3.67 mm and a standard deviation of 0.89mm.

Motion Control of a Two-Degree-of-Freedom Linear Resonant Actuator without a Mechanical Spring.

Project description:This study aims to present a new two-degree-of-freedom (DOF) linear resonant actuator (LRA) and its motion control method without a position sensor. The design method of 2-DOF LRA which resonates with only detent force without a mechanical spring is proposed. Since the information of displacement and direction is required to control 2-DOF LRA, a sensor or an estimator is needed. Therefore, we proposed a position estimator and a motion controller for 2-DOF LRA. This paper proved that reciprocating motion, elliptical motion, and scrolling motion can be controlled without a position sensor. Finite element analysis (FEA) and dynamic simulation results validated the proposed method as well.

Motor control drives visual bodily judgements.

Project description:The 'embodied cognition' framework proposes that our motor repertoire shapes visual perception and cognition. But recent studies showing normal visual body representation in individuals born without hands challenges the contribution of motor control on visual body representation. Here, we studied hand laterality judgements in three groups with fundamentally different visual and motor hand experiences: two-handed controls, one-handers born without a hand (congenital one-handers) and one-handers with an acquired amputation (amputees). Congenital one-handers, lacking both motor and first-person visual information of their missing hand, diverged in their performance from the other groups, exhibiting more errors for their intact hand and slower reaction-times for challenging hand postures. Amputees, who have lingering non-visual motor control of their missing (phantom) hand, performed the task similarly to controls. Amputees' reaction-times for visual laterality judgements correlated positively with their phantom hand's motor control, such that deteriorated motor control associated with slower visual laterality judgements. Finally, we have implemented a computational simulation to describe how a mechanism that utilises a single hand representation in congenital one-handers as opposed to two in controls, could replicate our empirical results. Together, our findings demonstrate that motor control is a driver in making visual bodily judgments.

System identification and mechanical resonance frequency suppression for servo control used in single gimbal control moment gyroscope.

Project description:Effective identification of the control model is one of the key aspects in improving the performance of the single gimbal control moment gyroscope (SGCMG) servo system. The accuracy and stability of the servo system can be improved by studying system identification and mechanical resonance frequency. In this study, firstly, the SGCMG gimbal servo system was simplified to a two-mass block model. The theoretical mathematical model of the system's transfer function and mechanical resonance frequency was derived. Secondly, this paper studied the effective suppression method for mechanical resonance. Thirdly, the mathematical model of the orthogonal correlation analysis method was deduced for system identification. Then, an experimental platform was investigated to obtain the frequency characteristic curve and the transfer function. Finally, the frequency characteristic curve obtained using the transfer function model was plotted and compared with the frequency characteristic curve obtained experimentally. Our results indicate that the orthogonal correlation analysis has a high identification accuracy.
