Distributed control of renewable generation units with integrated active filter
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics, 2004Co-Authors: Koen Macken, Koen Vanthournout, J. Van Den Keybus, Geert Deconinck, Ronnie BelmansAbstract:Due to the current concern about the environment, there is a growing interest in distributed generation from renewable energy sources. Usually a power electronic converter is required to interface renewable generation units with the utility grid. The power electronic converters can be designed to provide nonactive power in addition to active power supply in order to compensate distorted currents. This paper proposes a distributed control method for converter-interfaced renewable generation units with active filtering Capability. Agent-based communication makes coordination between the generation units possible. Experimental results are included to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.

RO-MAN - Attention Mechanisms for Social Engagements of Robots with Multiple People
ROMAN 2006 - The 15th IEEE International Symposium on Robot and Human Interactive Communication, 2006Co-Authors: Tamara Rogers, A.s. Sekmen, Jian PengAbstract:Social robots need to have special human-robot interaction (HRI) systems to be accepted by people as natural partners. This paper first describes a multiple Agent-based architecture designed to support HRI and then introduces an engagement mechanism based on attention distraction. The monitoring Agent is a high-level Agent that monitors and evaluates the surrounding environment and people. The interaction Agent is another high-level Agent that facilitates the seamless interaction between the robot and humans. The Capability Agent is a compound Agent within the robot that is responsible for the robot's abilities and actions. The use of multiple HRI modalities in the engagement mechanism provides means for people to solicit the robot's attention while allowing the robot to ignore the distraction if it has recently become engaged with something else. The system has been successfully implemented and tested on a Pioneer 3-AT mobile robot

RO-MAN - Modeling human-robot interaction for intelligent mobile robotics
ROMAN 2005. IEEE International Workshop on Robot and Human Interactive Communication 2005., 2005Co-Authors: Tamara Rogers, Jian Peng, Saleh Zein-sabattoAbstract:The focus of this paper is the design of a system for human-robot interaction that allows the robot(s) to interact with people in modes that are common to them. The results are a designed architecture for a system to support human-robot interaction. The structure includes a monitoring Agent for detecting the presence of people, an interaction Agent to handle choosing robot behaviors that are used for interacting, both socially and for task completion, and a Capability Agent which is responsible for the robot's abilities and actions.
