Autonomous manipulation of unknown objects by a robot is a highly challenging skill that is receiving increasing attention in the last years. This problem becomes still more challenging (and less explored) in underwater environments, with highly unstructured scenarios, limited availability of sensors and, in general, adverse conditions that affect in different degree the robot perception and co...

The analytical section of this paper deals with theoretical knowledge, considering the latest trends in subject area. To achieve successful implementation cobots based on operating systems manufacturing systems, it is necessary to pay attention specifically interfacing Robot Operating Systems control at process level an enterprise. In practical section, algorithm well-defined steps towards holo...

mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. in this paper, a new approachis proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. the proposedapproach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the trackusing a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. for training, a human operator navigates themobile robot in some...

statement of problem: the achievement of a good and durable dentin/composite resin bond is an important task in restorative dentistry. the application of acid conditioners and dentin bonding agents is an accepted method to enhance this bond strength. pretreating of dentin surface by laser irradiation seems to be a supplemental way to obtain better results, since lased dentin is more roughened a...

as a robot could be stable statically standing on three or more legs, a six legged walking robot can be highly flexible in movements and perform different missions without dealing with serious kinematic and dynamic problems. an experimental six legged walking robot with 18 degrees of freedom is studied and built in this paper. the kinematic and gait analysis formulations are demonstrated by an e...

1 Abstract We describe the design and control of ROBIN a ROBotic INspector. ROBIN is a structure-climbing robot designed for man-made environments. It is intended to carry cameras and other sensors onto man-made structures such as bridges, buildings, aircraft and ships for inspection. The robot has two vacuum xtures connected by a 4 degree-of-freedom articulated mechanism that together allow it...

in this project guidance and control of underwater robot, including three engines and propeller attached to it, by fuzzy control has been investigated. fuzzy control is done based on human experience and requiered laws. the robot can also be controlled and guided by the user. this robot may be used in sea or swimming pool environment for finding goal point and locate in desired direction. in ad...

In this paper, a new method was proposed for the navigation of a mobile robot in an unknown dynamic environment. The robot could detect only a limited radius of its surrounding with its sensors and it went on the shortest null space (SNS) toward the goal. In the case of no obstacle, SNS was a direct path from the robot to goal; however, in the presence of obstacles, SNS was a space around the r...
