Along the past years, mobile robots have proliferated both in domestic and in industrial environments to solve some tasks such as cleaning, assistance, or material transportation. One of their advantages is the ability to operate in wide areas without the necessity of introducing changes into the existing infrastructure. Thanks to the sensors they may be equipped with and their processing syste...

in this research optimal reconfiguration strategy of the improved srr reconfigurable mobile robot based on force-angle stability measure has been designed using genetic algorithm. path tracking nonlinear controller which keeps robot’s maximum stability has been designed and simulated in matlab. motion equations of the robot have been derived in parametric form by means of newton- euler, lagrang...

with the continuous development of the industrialization process, the countries all over the world gradually appeared lack of agricultural labor force and aging phenomenon, which was especially prominent in developed countries. however the agricultural robot with high operating efficiency, high qualities of work will play an increasingly important role in future agricultural production. robot n...

The UvA Rescue Team has several innovative ideas to further improve the infrastructure of the RoboCup Rescue Simulation League. Those ideas range from providing USARSim an interface compatible with the RoboCup@Home Simulation, to provide the possibility to specify robots in the URDF format, to create a model for the Ricoh Theta 360o camera, to create a model of the omnidirectional robots like t...

This work proposes and realizes a control architecture that can support the deployment of large-scale robot skin in Human-Robot Collaboration scenario. It is shown, how whole-body tactile feedback extend capabilities robots during dynamic interactions by providing information about multiple contacts across robot's surface. Specifically, an uncalibrated system used to implement stable force whil...

Trajectory optimization is the series of actions that are taken into consideration in order to produce best path such it improves overall performances physical properties or reduces consumption resources where restriction system remains maintained. In this paper, first, a compact mathematical model for symmetrical annular-shaped omnidirectional wheeled mobile robot (SAOWMR) derived and verified...

We designed a new omnidirectional image sensor COPIS (COnic Projection Image Sensor) to guide the navigation of a mobile robot. Under the assumption of the known'motion of the robot (COPIS), an environmental map.of an indoor scene is generated by monitoring azimuth change in the image. We did several experiments in the simple indoor environment to examine the potential of COPIS against effects ...

When the robots work autonomously in real environment, it is required function to recognize self-condition for reliable task execution. Therefore, we start to discuss and develop a self-diagnosis system and adaptive behavior generation for autonomous robot. In this paper, we propose the method that copes with self-condition using internal sensory information by plural sensors in the system. We ...
