Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
We aim to investigate and evaluate a new model of control in an industrial setting. the model, called Collateral Architecture (CA), is a development of behavioural techniques and includes the properties of anticipation, adaptation and learning. The aim is to evaluate the model as an effective, alternative control and programming method for applications involving high levels of flexibility, weakly constrained working environments or remote operation. The investigation will proceed through experiments on robotic food handling tasks. This application domain, from our collaborator, Unilever Research, is a difficult environment where a great deal of adaptive behaviour is demanded. The parts to be processed are irregular, of varying consistency, texture and plasticity and are often presented in a highly unstructured way. Be testing the CA model in this framework we hope to demonstrate its potential as a flexible and powerful control technique. The results should have general relevance for other applications of controllers based on this technique.
