the well-known electro-mechanical analogy that equates current, voltage, resistance, inductance and capacitance to force, velocity, damping, spring constant and mass has a shortcoming in that mass can only be used to simulate a capacitor which has one terminal connected to ground. a new model that was previously proposed by the authors that combines a mass with a pulley (mp) is shown to simulat...

Almost all robot navigation systems work indoors. Outdoor robot navigation systems offer the potential for new application areas. The biggest single obstacle to building effective robot navigation systems is the lack of accurate wide-area sensors for trackers that report the locations and orientations of objects in an environment. Active (sensoremitter) tracking technologies require powered-dev...

in this study, a new servo control system is presented for the overhead crane based on discrete-time state feedback approach. it provides both robust tracking and load swing suppression. inspired from independent joint and computed torque control in robot manipulator field, a new model is derived in which the crane actuators are considered as the main plant. the crane nonlinearities are then tr...

this paper presents a stable new algorithm for force/position control in robot manipulators. in this algorithm, position vectors are measured by sensors and then used in the control law. since using force sensor has some issues such as high costs and technical problems, an approach is presented to overcome these issues. in this respect, force sensor is replaced by an adaptive fuzzy estimator to...

In this paper we focus on the application of reinforcement learning to obstacle avoidance in dynamic Environments in wireless sensor networks. A distributed algorithm based on reinforcement learning is developed for sensor networks to guide mobile robot through the dynamic obstacles. The sensor network models the danger of the area under coverage as obstacles, and has the property of adoption o...

The recent success of machine learning has lead to advancements in robot intelligence and human-robot interaction. It is reported that robots can well understand visual scene information and describe the scenes in language using computer vision and natural language processing methods. Image Question-Answering (QA) systems can be used for human-robot interaction. However, to achieve human-level ...

modeling and wrench feasible workspace analysis of a spatial cable suspended robots is presented. a six-cable spatial cable robot is used the same as stewart robots. due to slow motion of the robot we suppose the motion as pseudostatic and kinetostatic modeling is performed. various workspaces are defined and the results of simulation are presented on the basis of various workspaces and applied...

– one of the important applications of robots is in material handling and transport of various shaped objects. in cases where an object cannot be directly grasped by the robot gripper, and must be carried by a hook, it may be subject to undesirable swings during transport. this paper presents an analytical method for minimizing the oscillation of a suspended object during transport. this method...

Robot technology has recently been applied to many applications help human activities. Mobile is one of the most flexible robot technology. This research uses a mobile designed using an omnidirectional wheel for movement mechanism. Coordination and control multi-robots can be assigned perform any task from different kind field. Therefore, this paper aims develop multi-robot system form formatio...
