Mobile robot is an autonomous agent capable of navigating intelligently anywhere using sensor-actuator control techniques. The applications of the autonomous mobile robot in many fields such as industry, space, defence and transportation, and other social sectors are growing day by day. The mobile robot performs many tasks such as rescue operation, patrolling, disaster relief, planetary explora...

The idea of Fixation introduced a direct method for general recovery of shape and motion from images without using either feature correspondence or optical flow [1,2]. There are some parameters which have important effects on the performance of fixation method. However, the theory of fixation does not say anything about the autonomous and correct choice of those parameters. This paper presents ...

The great interest in cultural heritage reflects a person's desire to know and understandtheir origins achievements. However, archaeological sites, like the natural environment, arefinite non-renewable resources. Of all types of under threat, sites andtheir wealth information artifacts are most threatened. In current practice, options forthe preservation include reconstruction, reassembly (anas...

A survey on different fields of application of robots and robot technology in medicine is presented. Robotics applications will be categorized according to the following areas: stationary laboratory robot systems, autonomous robot transport systems, robot systems for the severely handicapped, robot patient simulators, and robot applications in surgery. It is argued that robots and robot technol...

The goal of this work is to enable interactions of humans with a humanoid robot that can be customized to exhibit behaviors typically observed in children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) along different severities. In a first step, we design robot behaviors as responses to three different stimulus families, inspired by activities used in the context of ASD diagnosis, based on the Autism Di...
