This paper presents a programmable logic-based agent control system that interleaves planning, plan execution and perception. In this system, a program is a collection of logical formulae describing the agent’s relationship to its environment. Two such programs for a mobile robot are described — one for navigation and one for map building — that share much of their code.

Abstract With the growing demand for miniaturized workspaces, microrobots has been increasing in robotics research. Compared to traditional rigid robots, soft robots have better robustness and safety. a flexible structure, can undergo large deformations achieve variety of motion states. Researchers are working design fabricate based on biomimetic principles, using magnetic fields cable-free act...

Many types of robot arms have been developed in the market. Whenever a arm broke down, it is challenge to do reverse engineer and repair arm. This project has successfully reused existing 5 degrees freedom structure electronic components while replacing controller with new Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) LLD model. The uses DC servo motor, encoder, sensors, power supply, interface board. Si...

In recent years, robots are required to be autonomous and their robotic software are sophisticated. Robots have a problem of insufficient performance, since it cannot equip with a high-performance microprocessor due to battery-power operation. On the other hand, FPGA devices can accelerate specific functions in a robot system without increasing power consumption by implementing customized circu...

In this paper, the robot with three wheels is implement and its motion is controlled . two of robot’s wheels are activated by DC motors. The main PID controllers are implemented with a Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA) for independent robot movement . a FPGA controller communicate with a PC with PCI card(PLX9052) so that the movement of wheels can be displayed on the monitor through PCI card ...

* Department of Electrical Engineering and Applied Physics † Department of Computer Engineering and Science ‡ Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering ABSTRACT This paper describes advances in developing key software, sensing/control, and parts-handling technologies enabling robust operation of an agile manufacturing workcell. In particular, we discuss: a modular software architecture...

This paper describes the development of a novel robotic workstation which users configure to a variety of spatial forms. These configurations allow users to define their physical workspace as well as to situate computer and analogue tools precisely to support a broad range of work-and-leisure computing activities. The workstation is part of our Animated Work Environment (AWE) project aimed at p...

Aiming at vision applications of our amphibious spherical robot, a real-time detection and tracking system adopting Gaussian background model and compressive tracking algorithm was designed and implemented in this article. Considering the narrow load space, the limited power resource and the specialized application scenarios of the robot, a heterogeneous computing architecture combining advance...
