Sliding Mode Control for Trajectory Tracking of a Non-holonomic Mobile Robot using Adaptive Neural Networks
In this work a sliding mode control method for a non-holonomic mobile robot using an adaptive neural network is proposed. Due to this property and restricted mobility, the trajectory tracking of this system has been one of the research topics for the last ten years. The proposed control structure combines a feedback linearization model, based on a nominal kinematic model, and a practical design that combines an indirect neural adaptation technique with sliding mode control to compensate for the dynamics of the robot. A neural sliding mode controller is used to approximate the equivalent control in the neighbourhood of the sliding manifold, using an online adaptation scheme. A sliding control is appended to ensure that the neural sliding mode control can achieve a stable closed-loop system for the trajectory-tracking control of a mobile robot with unknown non-linear dynamics. Also, the proposed control technique can reduce the steady-state error using the online adaptive neural network with sliding mode control; the design is based on Lyapunov’s theory. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective in controlling mobile robots with large dynamic uncertaintiesFil: Rossomando, Francisco Guido.

Online Visual Robot Tracking and Identification using Deep LSTM Networks
Collaborative robots working on a common task are necessary for many
applications. One of the challenges for achieving collaboration in a team of
robots is mutual tracking and identification. We present a novel pipeline for
online visionbased detection, tracking and identification of robots with a
known and identical appearance. Our method runs in realtime on the limited
hardware of the observer robot. Unlike previous works addressing robot tracking
and identification, we use a data-driven approach based on recurrent neural
networks to learn relations between sequential inputs and outputs. We formulate
the data association problem as multiple classification problems. A deep LSTM
network was trained on a simulated dataset and fine-tuned on small set of real
data. Experiments on two challenging datasets, one synthetic and one real,
which include long-term occlusions, show promising results.Comment: IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems
