Bilateral Teleoperation of Single-Master Multislave Systems With Semi-Markovian Jump Stochastic Interval Time-Varying Delayed Communication Channels

R. Baranitha et al.

Summary: This paper addresses the issue of communication time delays in a single-master multislave (SMMS) teleoperation system by designing a nonlinear robust controller that ensures global robust H-infinity stochastic stability. The system dynamics are decoupled into two interconnected subsystems using nonlinear feedback linearization technique, and stability analysis is conducted using an improved reciprocally convex combination technique. Numerical studies and simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed controller design algorithm in handling the stochastic and nondifferentiable nature of communication delays.

A Relative Dynamics Formulation for Hardware-in-the-Loop Simulation of On-Orbit Robotic Missions

Marco Destefano et al.

Summary: This letter introduces a novel method for on-ground simulation of a space robotic mission using robotic hardware-in-the-loop facility. The approach enables simulating the motion of large satellites by replicating simulated dynamics defined with respect to a nominal motion. Stability of the method is analyzed and its effectiveness is demonstrated through experiments on capturing Envisat, a free-tumbling satellite and the largest space debris in Low-Earth-Orbit, using the OOS-Sim facility.

Improving 802.11p for Delivery of Safety-Critical Navigation Information in Robot-to-Robot Communication Networks

Jennifer Gielis et al.

Summary: Improvements to contention-based robot networks using inter-robot navigation information for safer motion control in dense multi-robot environments are proposed. The Crash Risk Prioritization index and dynamic beacon rate control scheme allow for evaluation of network-level changes on robot navigation safety. Co-design and simulation of robotic control algorithms and network protocols provide insights into network-level requirements for V2V systems and inform conclusions about how emerging standards can best serve robot networks.
