Symposium on Dynamics Modeling and Interaction Control in Virtual and Real Environments - IUTAM 2010
Monday June 7, 2010 - Friday June 11, 2010
Danubius Hotel Gellért

Budapest, Budapest 1111 Get Directions

Scope of the symposium

The symposium is aimed to bring together specialist in the field of multibody system modeling, contact/collision mechanics, control of mechanical systems. Discussions between the experts of these fields enable the exchange of ideas about the recent advances in multibody system modeling and interaction control, as well as about the possible future trends. In addition, the presentation of recent scientific results may facilitate the interaction between scientific areas like system/control engineering and mechanical engineering.

The symposium is organized under the auspices of IUTAM (International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics)

Overview

Modeling of complex mechanical systems including the simulation of dynamics and control of multibody systems is increasingly applied in practical engineering problems, where different kind of physical interactions plays important role.

Fore example, force control of robots (polishing, machining parts by an abrasive media) could be mentioned as a typical industrial example, where providing the desired product quality a prescribed amount of contact force has to be applied. However, the application area of force feedback based control is much wider, and ranging from industrial robots to the diverse field of service robotics. Robots as typical multibody systems can be used also in physical rehabilitation of patients, can assist the elderly and could be used in our everyday environment as personal robots in the near future. These latter examples necessitate the interaction control between robots and humans. During active physiotherapy the robot has to interact with the patient according to his/her actual condition. This interaction may be based on haptic feedback that provides the user with information on a virtual exercising environment. In assistive applications tactile sensing is also important, while sensor fusion including force feedback can improve the cognition capabilities of the new generation of personal/home robots.

In the last decade an intensive research work has been done in the above fields, but still there are a lot of questions to answer. Fore example, the modeling of the transition phase during contacting (colliding) with an environment (object) requires to have a deeper insight into impact phenomena and into the dynamics of systems with changing topology. In addition, in case of collaborative robots, it is not the only challenge to model the interaction between humans and robots, but the proper/reasonable modeling of the human body (including muscles) is important. Thus, the investigation of the nonlinear dynamics and robust interaction control of multibody systems is an interesting and vital interdisciplinary topic.
