点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

In this proposal, the applicant aims to explore novel ideas, develop advanced sensing and control techniques for service robots with wave energy applications. Sensing based control techniques are highly desired in the field of service robotics, power systems, industrial environment, battlefield surveillance, exploration, and rehabilitation. Major challenges facing service robotics applications are how to systematically fuse all the sensor data together, and how to control the service robots under sensor uncertainty. To deal with those issues, the applicant and others have applied various different approaches to synthesis the rich information provided by multiple sensors and have applied adaptive control method to effectively control the robots.
