Robotics & Automation

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Origin Domain

9 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Robotics & Automation. They span 15 subdomains — sort by that column to group them, or click any subdomain to filter to it.

Abstraction	Subdomain	Description
Active perception	Active VisionComputer Vision	The control of movement or sensing behavior to acquire information that reduces perceptual uncertainty, coupling action and interpretation in a closed loop.
Automation	Automation EngineeringControl Systems	The engineered transfer of sensing, decision, sequencing, or actuation from continuing human performance to a technical or sociotechnical system operating under predetermined criteria and bounded oversight.
Behavior-Based Robotics	Reactive Robot Architectures	Build situated robot competence from parallel sensor-to-action behavior modules whose arbitration produces robust activity without requiring one complete centralized world model and plan.
Circle criterion	Nonlinear Control TheoryAbsolute Stability	A frequency-domain sufficient condition for absolute stability of a feedback interconnection between a linear time-invariant plant and a memoryless nonlinearity constrained to a sector, expressed as a Nyquist-plot exclusion of a sector-dependent circle or disk.
Control-Lyapunov function	Control TheoryNonlinear Control	In control theory, a control-Lyapunov function (CLF) is an extension of the idea of Lyapunov function V(x) to systems with control inputs.
Industrial process control	Industrial AutomationProcess Control	Closed-loop monitoring and regulation of continuous or batch industrial processes through sensors, control algorithms and actuators to maintain safety, quality, throughput and efficiency.
Linear-quadratic regulator rapidly exploring random tree	Motion PlanningKinodynamic Planning	Linear-quadratic regulator rapidly exploring random tree (LQR-RRT) is a sampling based algorithm for kinodynamic planning.
Motion planning	Robotics and Computational Geometry	The computational problem of finding a collision-free sequence of valid configurations connecting a system’s start and goal states.
Vehicular automation	Autonomous Vehicles	Vehicular automation is using technology to assist or replace the operator of a vehicle such as a car, truck, aircraft, rocket, military vehicle, or boat.
