چکیده

We present the Medic robot: a novel 5-gram autonomous crawling and climbing millirobot designed to navigate through dark, cluttered, confined and electrified environments. Due to payload constraints, all sensing is performed by a single lowresolution camera and processing is split between an onboard unit and a base station. We present an integrated object detector, localizer, and planner that have been successfully demonstrated to enable the millirobot to determine its position within the environment, plan and navigate the most efficient path between user-specified start and goal positions, and recover from stuck conditions.

Neural Network Dynamics Models for Control of Under-actuated Legged Millirobots

Millirobots are a promising robotic platform for many applications due to their small size and low manufacturing costs. However, controlling these millirobots is difficult due to their underactuation, power constraints, and size. While hand-engineered controllers can sometimes control these millirobots, they often have difficulties with highly dynamic maneuvers and complex terrains. We present ...

Simulation of static sinusoidal wave in deep water environment with complex boundary conditions using proposed SPH method

The study of wave and its propagation on the water surface is among significant phenomena in designing quay, marine and water structures. Therefore, in order to design structures which are exposed to direct wave forces, it is necessary to study and simulate water surface height and the wave forces on the structures body in different boundary conditions. In this study, the propagation of static ...

Stochastic Decision Making in Manufacturing Environments

Decision making plays an important role in economics, psychology, philosophy, mathematics, statistics and many other fields. In each field, decision making consists of identifying the values, uncertainties and other issues that define the decision. In any field, the nature of the decisions is affected by environmental characteristics. In this paper, we are considered the production planning pro...

Extensions of ELECTRE-I and TOPSIS methods for group decision-making under complex Pythagorean fuzzy environment

Multi-criteria group decision-making is a process in which decision makers assess the performance of alternatives on the basis of conflicting criteria to opt the most worthy alternative as solution. TOPSIS and ELECTRE are effective and commonly used methods to solve multiple criteria decision-making problems. The aim of this study is to propose two new models, namely, complex Pythagorean fuzzy ...

Investigating the Variation and Versatility of an Effective Environment on Resident’s Satisfaction in Residential Complexes (Case study: Isfahan Zeytun Residential Complex)

The development of modern housing has been accompanied by less attention paid to the versatility and the variation of the living spaces. The quality of residential spaces has declined to a degree that the home has merely become a place to meet physical needs and many psychological problems have been neglected. Recognizing the factors affecting the environmental capabilities of today’s housing a...
