In this study, the problem of navigation in dynamic and unknown environment is investigated and a navigation method based on force field approach is suggested. It is assumed that the robot performs navigation in...

“15 seconds of fame” is an interactive art installation which elevates the face of a randomly selected observer for 15 seconds into a “work of art”. The installation was inspired by Andy Warhol’s statement that “In the future everybody will be famous for 15 minutes” as well as by the pop-art style of his works. The critical part of the installation is detection of faces which enables the croppi...

This paper presents a system that detects a path of moving obstacle that appear in the path of a navigating robot. The objective of the system is to avoid collision between mobile robot and moving obstacles. The system uses polar mapping to simplify the segmentation of the moving object from the background. In the transformed space qualitative extimation of moving obstacles is obtained by detec...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to obtain anatomical information for installing four zygomatic implants, by measurements of maxillae and zygomata. MATERIALS AND METHODS Linear and angular measurements were obtained from the maxillae and zygomata of 40 dry skulls. RESULTS Based on mean and standard deviation values, the installation angle of the additional implant in the four zygoma te...

Mapping algorithms commonly use “radial sweeps” of the surrounding environment as input. Producing a sweep is a challenging task for a robot using only vision. With no odometers to measure turn angles, a vision-based robot must have another method to verify rotations. In this paper we propose using the Radial Obstacle Profile (ROP) which gives the radial distance to the nearest obstacle in any ...

The high installation costs of photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most important obstacle in spread systems; that’s why various studies carried out on optimization PV today. Thus, can be optimized terms criteria such as inclination angle, module number, type, construction structure, and inverter. Different user-friendly software is used to design systems. Such estimates energy production using c...

“15 seconds of fame” is an interactive installation which every 15 seconds generates a new pop-art portrait of a randomly selected person from the audience. The installation was inspired by Andy Warhol’s ironical statement that “In the future everybody will be famous for 15 minutes”. The installation detects human faces to crop them from the wide-angle picture of people who are standing in fron...
