Three dimensional (3D) vision systems are more and more used in recent industrial robot applications for enhancing robot flexibility and intelligence. This paper presents a method of integrating 3D binocular stereo vision systems into industrial robot systems. Examples are used to illustrate the developed method and its implementation including vision system setup and calibration, robot hand-ey...

This paper presents a platform-based teleoperation control approach of symbiotic human-robot system. With frame-based knowledge representation, features of robots, human-robot interface and cooperative operation of symbiotic human-robot system are defined in the Software Platform of Agents and Knowledge Management (SPAK). By means of this software platform, human can communicate with robots usi...

In this paper, a dual system consisting of two 5 DOF (RRRRR) robot manipulators is considered as a cooperative robotic system used to manipulate a rigid payload on a desired trajectory between two desired initial and end positions/orientations. The forward and inverse kinematic problems are first solved for the dual arm system. Then, dynamics of the system and the relations between forces/momen...

Recently, various robot off-line programming systems have promoted their own robot data models, resulting in a plethora of robot representation methods and unchangeable data files among CAx and robot off-line programming systems. The current paper represents a STEP-compliant Industrial Robot Data Model (IRDM) for data exchange between CAx systems and robot off-line programming systems. Using th...

A Space Free-Flying Robot (SFFR) includes an actuated base equipped with one or more manipulators to perform on-orbit missions. Distinct from fixed-based manipulators, the spacecraft (base) of a SFFR responds to dynamic reaction forces due to manipulator motions. In order to control such a system, it is essential to consider the dynamic coupling between the manipulators and the base. Explicit d...

the authors developed user recognition system for navigation robot. This system is used to prevent navigation robot mistaking user. It uses ZigBee-3D acceleration sensor and kinect sensor. The ZigBee coordinator which is mounted navigation robot know that user comes near to navigation robot by finding the ZigBee accelerometer tag which is attached a user. This tag has unique ID each other, so t...

This paper describes a new, open sources robot architecture initiative called the Extensible Robot Control Language (XRCL). This system is designed to provide a modern robot-programming interface which is adaptable and easy to learn. We describe a fuzzy logic control system built on this framework, and examine the system at work in two tasks at the AAAI 1999 Mobile Robot Competition.

Abstract. This paper describes recognition and cutting system of sweet peppers for picking robots in greenhouse horticulture. This picking robot has an image processing system with a positioning system for two cameras and cutting a device to follow the sweet pepper by visual feedback control. A prototype robot system is introduced. Experiments of the prototype robot prove the performance of the...

In this paper, we describe a robot system which can track a given path on a 3D terrain using the inclination of the robot in real time. We designed a model of 3D terrain between two ridges based on some measured shape, and made a desired path on the lowest portion of the field furrow. We newly designed a mobile robot system which can track the path using the a method proposed in the second repo...

Gaze direction determination of opponents and teammates is a very important ability for any soccer player, human or robot. However, this ability is still not developed in any of the RoboCup soccer leagues. We aim at reverting this situation by proposing a gaze direction determination system for robot soccer; the system is designed primarily for the four-legged league, but it could be extended t...
