This paper proposed the design of safety system in cell production system for cellular phones using dual-arm robots. To detect an interruption of human workers during a robot operation, a safe camera system for 3D zone monitoring is introduced. A signal for an interruption is sent to PLC control system of cell production line and an alarm signal is given to robot systems to stop or slow down a ...

Mobile robot, especially wheeled mobile robot, with its simple mechanical structure and inherent agility, has attracted significant attentions for dynamic environment applications in the last two decades (Pin et al. 1994 and Purwin 2006). A general mobile robot Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) system is illustrated in the following figure. The main function of guidance system is to genera...

Recently, multi-robot systems are emerging in various industries. The multi-robot systems have several advantages in comparison with a single-robot system. The task of single-robot system is limited, because a bigger robot is required to perform more multiple functions. However, multi-robot systems can distribute the functions to each robot. The localization problem is essential for realization...

This paper presents a methodology and a prototype system for off-line programming of an industrial robot using augmented reality technology. The system allows to control a virtual model of the industrial robot co-located in the real environment, planning for collision-free paths, generate robot program and simulate the robot actions before the real robot perform the task. The advantage of this ...

Colonoscopy is an important medical procedure for the diagnosis of various diseases, such as cancers in the colon and rectum. However, it requires a lot of time for a doctor to acquire dexterous skills necessary to perform successful colonoscopy. Moreover, for many patients, conventional colonoscopy simply takes long time. Therefore, some studies on the development of autonomous and more conven...

This paper introduces a novel stereo vision based simulation system for a Humanoid Robot. This stereo vision system and robot controller is simulated dynamically and its performance evaluated for a standard humanoid robot benchmark problem. The vision system presented has been tested by simulating the dynamics of the robot system as well as the image processing subsystem. The real-time image pr...

This paper starts with developing kinematic and dynamic model of a snake shape robot in serpentine locomotion and finishes with actual experimentation. At the beginning the symmetrical and unsymmetrical serpenoid curves are introduced. Kinematics and dynamics of a snake robot on flat and inclined surfaces are obtained for a general n-link robot. SimMechanics toolbox of MATLAB software is employ...
