A Fuzzy Controller for Multiple Hyper-Redundant Cooperative Robots

Abstract A control system is proposed to solve the local control for a multi-chain robotic system formed by tentacle manipulators grasping a common object with hard point contacts. The two-level hierarchical control is adopted. The upper level coordinator gathers all the necessary information to resolve the force distribution. Then, the lower- level local control problem is treated as a open-chain redundant manipulator control problem. A closed loop control based on the inverse dynamic model and the DSMCprocedure are proposed .The fuzzy rules are established. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
