Scientific Disciplinary Sector (SSD)

ING-INF/05 - INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEMS

Period

Semester 1 dal Oct 3, 2022 al Jan 27, 2023.

Learning objectives

The course aims to provide the following knowledge: theoretical foundation of physical human-robot interaction (e.g. bilateral teleoperation and force control), with particular attention to the design of control architectures capable of guaranteeing stability even in the presence of uncertainties and communication delays. At the end of the course the student will have to demonstrate that s/he has the following skills to apply the acquired knowledge: analyze the technical characteristics and structural properties of a control system for direct or teleoperated interaction with the environment; derive the mathematical model of the physical robot-environment interaction (direct or teleoperated); design a control architecture to ensure stability, performance and safety; implement the control architecture in simulators (e.g. Matlab/Simulink) and in operating systems tailored to robotic application (e.g. ROS). Student must also have the ability to define the technical specifications for a physical human robot-interaction system a (direct or teleoperated) and the ability to choose the most appropriate way to design the control architecture. Student will have to be able to deal with other engineers (e.g. electronic, automatic, mechanical) to design advanced control architectures for complex physical human-robot interaction systems. Student will have to show ability to continue its studies independently in the context of the design of architectures based on non-linear and adaptive techniques.

Prerequisites and basic notions

Dynamic systems, Robotics

Program

Topics that will be addressed during the course:
- passivity theory

- physical human-robot interation
Topics that will be addressed during the lab activity:
- Tuning of PID controllers
- Implementation of velocity estimators
- Data-driven system identification
- Implementation of bilateral teleoperation algorithms in ROS/Matlab-Simulink

Didactic methods

Frontal lessons for the theoretical part; Lectures with the active involvement of students for the laboratory part.

Learning assessment procedures

The exam will consist in the discussion of the homework (HWs) assigned during the semester on the topics developed during the course.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE

Evaluation criteria

To pass the exam, the student must demonstrate:
- to have understood the principles related to the design of a teleoperation system,
- to be able to use the knowledge acquired during the course to solve the assigned problems,
- to be able to describe their work by explaining and motivating the design choices.

Criteria for the composition of the final grade

The final mark will be the composition of the mark on the homework (correctness and quality of the presentation) and on their exposure during the oral exam.

Exam language

Italian or English
