An Intelligent Observer

چکیده
This paper describes an integrated mobile robotic system dubbed the intelligent observer (IO). The IO is a mobile robot which moves through an environment (such as an o ce building or a factory) while autonomously observing moving targets selected by a human operator. The robot carries one or more cameras which allow it to track objects while at the same time sensing its own location. It interacts with a human user who issues task-level commands, such as indicating a target to track by clicking in a camera image. The user could be located far away from the observer itself, communicating with the robot over a network. As the IO performs its tasks, the system provides real-time visual feedback to the user. We have implemented a prototype of the IO which integrates basic versions of ve major components: landmark detection, target tracking, motion planning, motion control, and user interface. We have performed initial experiments using this prototype, which demonstrate the successful integration of these components and the utility of the overall system.

In this paper, an observer based fuzzy adaptive controller (FAC) is designed fora class of large scale systems with non-canonical non-affine nonlinear subsystems. It isassumed that functions of the subsystems and the interactions among subsystems areunknown. By constructing a new class of state observer for each follower, the proposedconsensus control method solves the problem of unmeasured sta...

Real-time information about seismic resultant forces is required for deciding module of intelligent control systems. Evaluation of lateral forces during an earthquake is a complicated problem considering uncertainties of gravity loads amount and distribution and earthquake characteristics. An artificia...
متن کاملOn-line Planning for an Intelligent Observer in a Virtual Factory
In tele-present or tele-operation applications, an intelligent observer is a virtual camera that can perform autonomous motions to assist a user in accomplishing desired observing tasks. In this paper we consider the problem of generating and modifying the motions of an intelligent observer tracking a moving target in an online manner. Given the target's trajectory, we first plan the observer's...
متن کاملNeural Observer Based Hybrid Intelligent Scheme for Activated Sludge Wastewater Treatment
Activated sludge wastewater treatment plants have received considerable attention due to their efficiency to eliminate biodegradable pollution and their robustness to reject disturbances. Different control strategies have been proposed, but most of these techniques need sensors to measure process main variables. This paper presents a discrete-time recurrent high order neural observer (RHONO) to...
متن کاملIntelligent fault monitoring and diagnosis in electrical machines
The aim of this paper is to develop an intelligent diagnosis method for fault detection and isolation in induction motors. We consider failures in three components of induction motor: bearing, stator winding and rotor winding. Firstly, a model-based nonlinear observer in the proposed method is designed based on available information. The fault detection decision is carried out by comparing the ...
