The field of robotic vision is developing rapidly. Robots can react intelligently and provide assistance to user activities through sentient computing. Since industrial applications pose complex requirements that cannot be handled by humans, an efficient low cost and robust technique is required for the tracking of mobile industrial robots. The existing sensor based techniques for mobile robot ...

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...

This paper proposed a new methodology to solve collision free path planning problem for industrial robot using genetic algorithms. The method poses an optimization problem that aims to minimize the significant points traveling distance of the robot. The behaviour of more two operational parameters – the end effector traveling distance and computational time – is analysed. This algorithm is able...

Problem statement: The capability of performing autonomously a contour following task of a shape object is required for an industrial robot manipulator. These tasks include welding, sealing, grinding, painting and many more. These applications are very tedious and time consuming if done by manual contour following system. Approach: This study proposed the development of dual sensor logic algori...

We present a concept of a ubiquitous industrial robot. It has been defined to consist of technologies of artificial intelligence, ubiquitous computing, sensor network and industrial robots. The advantages compared with current intelligent robots are that they are more autonomous and they have cognitive skills. A ubiquitous robot is interoperable with all sensors, computers and other devices aro...

Uncertainties are the main reasons of deterioration of contour control of industrial articulated robot arm. In this paper, a high-precision contour control method was proposed to overcome some main uncertainties, such as torque saturation, system delay dynamics, interference between robot links, friction, and so on. Firstly, each considered factor of uncertainties was introduced briefly. Then p...

In the early years of robotics, an industrial robot was developed, but in these days, an entertainment robot is emerging as a new type of a robot. The design methodologies for industrial robots were based on the task or the function of the robots. However, because the purpose of an entertainment robot is to stimulate people’s emotion rather than to provide function, it is needed to be designed ...

A construction robot generally includes some actuators, and has sufficient power to carry out tasks that are difficult for humans. The application of such robots in environments that are dangerous for humans such as disaster scenes, space and the deep sea ground is becoming more and more important. Teleoperation is the most effective method of controlling these robots, and teleoperation systems...
