• A multilayered hierarchical approach to robot coordination: theory and implementation examples.
A multilayered hierarchical approach
• The problem of controlling and coordinating the actions of a multirobot system may result extremely hard if not approachedin a well structured way.
• Such an approach should involve 3 items intercorrelated:– The functional architecture of the overall control system.– The Hw/Sw architecture supporting the algorithms.– The developing environment and Sw tools for real-time
applications.
• A key role is played by the functional and algorithmic architecturebecause it drives the subsequent choices regarding both the Hwand Sw components of the control system.
A multilayered hierarchical approach
• The proposed approach describes a multilayeredfunctional and algorithmic architecture.
• Layers are interconnected by a hierarchical criterion.
• Each layer reflects a different level of abstraction of the overall control and coordination problem.
• In this way the control system becomes more flexibleand gains in terms of modularity and scalabilty, allowinghence an easy componibility.
A case study: dual arm workcell
• Direct HW interaction– sensors reading– actuator driving
• Joint velocity control loop–reference: joint velocity signal from the
upper layer– feedback: joint position signal from the
sensors– output: signal to drive the actuators
• Implementation
– distributed: a control loop for each joint, possibly realized by devoteddevices
– centralized: dynamic compensation,adattative tecqniques, ...

DIST was involved in a EU project called AMADEUS (Advanced MAnipulation for DEep Underwater Sampling).
The purpose of this project was to build an underwater cell capable of drawing samples and achieving coordinated manipulation operations on the seabed.

Modularity and scalability features
• Substitution of a robotic device with anotherdifferent is possible in a very easy way
• It is sufficient to change also the correspondent VLLC and LLC modules

Remarks:• In this way each robot (apart from the last)
is asked to follow the velocity reference signal assigned to just the end-effector of the immediately previous robot.
• Hence each robot is interconnected and exchanges data with just the two adjacentsones regardless the complexity of the chain.

Remarks:• In this case the second robot has to
manage two signals coming from the upper two robots.
• This implies some little changes in the “H” and “S” blocks inside the LLC scheme seen before. In particular, the “S” block has to deal with two cartesian velocityreference vectors and has to implementthe collection of both the rigid body transformation matrices from the <e3> and <e4> frames to the <e2> frame.
• What is important to underline is that allthe changes regard only robot 2. <w>

Then we can send the cartesianvelocity reference vectors of both <e3> and <e4> to the
controller of robot 2.
Finally as done before we can send the cartesian velocity reference vectors of
<e2> to the controller of robot 1

• In the previous analysis an implicitassumption was made: each single robot was at least 6 d.o.f.
• Therefore each single robot wassupposed to be able toaccomplish its own assigned task.

• If so it will be possible to realizecontrol systems deeply componible, offering many benefits especially ifintegrated in robotic structuresmodular also from an electronic and mechanical point of view
