Research and Results
We pursue research for a continuous-time optimal and adaptive control scheme for robot or vehicles moving in six degrees of freedom. The control scheme is an extension of the algorithm of Johansson [12]. The algorithm is optimal in the sense that it minimizes the state errors and the forces which contributes to the vehicle's kinetic energy that is spend to correct these errors. The performance measure does also contain a term which penalizes the quadratic tracking errors proportional to the rate of energy which dissipates from the system due to damping.

Quadratic Optimization of Impedance Control
Algorithms for continuous-time quadratic optimization of impedance control have been developed. Explicit solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for optimal control of rigid-body motion are found by solving an algebraic matrix equation. System stability is investigated according to Lyapunov function theory, and it is shown that global asymptotic stability holds. The solution results in design parameters in the form of square weighting matrices or impedance matrices as known from linear quadratic optimal control. The proposed optimal control is useful both for motion control and force control.

Feedback-supported Application Programming
One direction of research represents an enhanced use of sensor information in robotics as described and exemplified in [10]. The environment of robots are dynamic and must be observed by perceptional equipment. For adaptation of task realizations to the environment, the robot control system must have the ability to support and react to the observed information. An event based robot control system with these advantages is described, the event-based control system operating from a model description of the world and the task. In the world model all objects significant for the task in the robot work cell are represented and generated during a visual task oriented programming session. The task realization is managed by the control system in small parts or executable events. An executable event is fired and realized when its preconditions are fulfilled. Changes in the work cell are detected by sensors and the information is used to update the world model, which all events are founded upon. Sensor information has influence on both planning and control of motion and application processes. The main goal of this approach is to create the ability to autonomously manage task realizations in a flexible environment?[10].

Another focus is a task-oriented robot programming method and a discussion of the associated control system. The purpose of creating a new programming environment is to give reusability, maintainability and reliability to the robot program code, all key factors in efficient programming. The whole system is focused on objects corresponding to physical objects and processes in the environment. In the task-oriented programming system, tasks are described as states of objects and their dependencies. The assisting control system is event driven and operates with the objects as base for realization of events [8].

Today most industrial robot systems use dedicated and rather limited sensors, and available control systems provide limited support for feedback control. Aiming towards more autonomous robot systems, we want to improve flexibility. The game Scrabble is used as a test problem capturing these aspects. Our approach is to incorporate visual servoing and a conventional powerful off-line programming (OLP) system into the real-time control system, providing task specification and visual debugging. We use the OLP tool Envision from Deneb and an ABB robot with reconfigured control system, where the control system has an Open Robot Control architecture (ORC). The vision system is connected to a host computer and the camera is attached to the robot gripper. By extending the control system, we have designed and implemented both the vision system and the application for the Scrabble game. Our system implementation shows that ORC constitutes a necessary support for incorporation of real-time visual feedback and that OLP may effectively be used with real-time feedback of sensor data.

Optimal control deals with the problem of finding a control law for a given system such that a certain optimality criterion is achieved. A control problem includes a cost functional that is a function of state and control variables. An optimal control is a set of differential equations describing the paths of the control variables that minimize the cost functional. The optimal control can be derived using Pontryagin's maximum principle (a necessary condition also known as Pontryagin's minimum principle or simply Pontryagin's Principle[2]), or by solving the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation (a sufficient condition).

We begin with a simple example. Consider a car traveling on a straight line through a hilly road. The question is, how should the driver press the accelerator pedal in order to minimize the total traveling time? Clearly in this example, the term control law refers specifically to the way in which the driver presses the accelerator and shifts the gears. The "system" consists of both the car and the road, and the optimality criterion is the minimization of the total traveling time. Control problems usually include ancillary constraints. For example the amount of available fuel might be limited, the accelerator pedal cannot be pushed through the floor of the car, speed limits, etc.

A proper cost functional is a mathematical expression giving the traveling time as a function of the speed, geometrical considerations, and initial conditions of the system. It is often the case that the constraints are interchangeable with the cost functional.

Another optimal control problem is to find the way to drive the car so as to minimize its fuel consumption, given that it must complete a given course in a time not exceeding some amount. Yet another control problem is to minimize the total monetary cost of completing the trip, given assumed monetary prices for time and fuel.

Numerical Examples. The optimality system consists of the state system, adjoint system, initial and final time conditions, and the control characterization. We solve the optimality system by an iterative method with forward solving of the state system followed by backward solving of the adjoint system. We start with an initial guess for the control at the first iteration and then before the next iteration, we update the control by using the characterization. We continued until convergence of successive iterates is achieved.
